It was like falling into a bottomless abyss.
Li Nian’s last thought before being completely swallowed by the darkness was.
——At least, smile...
==============
The dazzling light broke through the darkness and penetrated straight down.
Li Nian suddenly opened his eyes.
Looking up, there is only an endless white space. This world is boundless and has no end in sight. It is monotonous and pure.
...Am I dreaming?
Seeing such an absurd scene, he naturally thought so. Having said that, he felt that his consciousness seemed to be quite clear...
Li Nian looked around.
When I looked down, I couldn't see the ground; when I looked up, I couldn't see the sky. There was nothing but white. I couldn't see any part of my body, and I couldn't even tell whether I was standing or floating.
But it seems as if I can "see", "hear" and "touch" - only in dreams can I have such a wonderful feeling, right?
In this empty space, it seems that I am the only one...only my thoughts are running.
This dream is also very strange...
When Li Nian was thinking this, a voice suddenly sounded.
"I'm still here."
Li Nian was shocked. There was someone else?
He immediately "looked" around, but could not see anyone, only the vast expanse of white.
"I am here."
The sound that was emitted once again did not come from anywhere, but echoed all around, filling every inch of space.
That person does not exist anywhere, yet seems to be everywhere.
"Who?" Li Nian asked blankly.
"Your question is a bit complicated... I'll give you the simplest and most popular explanation - I am God."
Li Nian was stunned at first, then couldn't help laughing.
My random thoughts during the day are reflected in my dreams and become such a clichéd thing?
"Hey, so awesome?"
God.
That being sitting in the sky - a noble and great being.
Li Nian did not want to question anything. Instead, she found it very interesting. Lucid dreaming - having a beautiful dream while awake, and seeing God in this lucid dream, this is also a precious experience.
Li Nian was not in a hurry to wake up. Instead, he wanted to chat with this "God". He was in a very relaxed mood.
"Such a big shot actually came to me?"
"You don't believe it and think that everything that happened is a lie... But it doesn't matter. It's okay to start a conversation like this."
Li Nian did not take seriously what the self-proclaimed god in the dream was saying. He listened to the voice and felt it was very plain, without any ups and downs. It was not as cold as ice, but more peaceful and generous, like a calm sea.
If [God] were to take on a physical form, he would probably be someone like this?
Thinking with great interest, Li Nian took over the conversation and continued with great interest.
"what you want to say?"
"Want to make a deal."
"trade?"
"I give you a sword, and you go out into the world to practice justice."
God got straight to the point and stated his requirements.
Li Nian wanted to laugh even more after hearing this.
Practice justice?
"That sounds really cool, like I came up with it myself."
It is said that dreams are a reflection of the deep psychology. Li Nian now thinks that this statement is so true. This kind of experience, like the protagonist in a novel, is something he often thinks about. Now that he has experienced it in person, if he has not forgotten it completely after waking up, perhaps he can write it down for fun.
"I know that's what you long for, and that's why I chose you."
"That's not a good enough reason. Every child would have such a beautiful dream..."
Li Nian muttered to himself as he answered in a soft voice.
What's more, he is no longer a child. He is 23 years old and has long stopped having such beautiful dreams.
Now he is just a patient who can't even take care of himself, and his family is also being dragged down. How can such a person practice justice - become the kind of person who has spare energy to take care of others?
After regaining consciousness, Li Nian felt more and more that the so-called "god" in the dream was a manifestation of his inner self.
"You have the qualities to be a warrior."
"Dude, are you talking to a weak guy who's writing an article?"
Warrior - when this word is mentioned, the image of a muscular man comes to mind, which is very different from who he is now. To be honest, he hasn't had a decent exercise for a long time, and due to long-term illness, his body is very weak.
Ignoring Li Nian's joke, the god continued.
"I know you want to be that person."
"..."
"I give you a sword, and you can become that person."
The voice was still calm, yet it was spoken with a firmness that sounded like it had an unquestionable courage.
Li Nian was speechless for a moment.
Just as God said, Li Nian wanted to be that kind of person—a tough, strong, brave, and calm warrior.
That is exactly the kind of protagonist that he, as an author, has always been committed to creating.
He hopes to gain strength from it to support himself.
“…Am I being questioned by my own heart?”
"You can understand that."
"..."
A conversation between myself and my own brain... Li Nian suspected that I was so afraid of death that the pressure made me schizophrenic, so that it showed up in this dream, split into two parts: [God] and [me]?
"You are already dead."
God seemed to see through his thoughts and suddenly said this.
This sentence made Li Nian stunned for a while, and then he wanted to smile bitterly.
“It’s an interesting hypothesis.”
It's not that he hasn't thought about what death would be like. His illness is just so serious that his heart might suddenly stop beating one day, forcing him to think about the possibility of death. But now when he hears others - or perhaps his own subconscious mind - mention this to him, he still has complicated feelings.
This dream is really strange, very strange... Li Nian thought so again.
"You still don't believe it... It doesn't matter. You will know soon. So, let's get back to the point. Do you agree to this deal?"
The sound echoed repeatedly in the space, majestic and powerful.
Practicing justice sounds cool, but I don't know what it means specifically - but Li Nian didn't want to ask that. He didn't care and didn't take it seriously, but continued to ask with interest.
"You said this is a deal, does that mean it's good for me?"
"In return, you can make me a wish."
Make a wish, it's like a customary reward...
Li Nian, who has always regarded it as just a dream, did not take God's words seriously at all.
However, regarding the matter of wishes, he thought about it seriously before giving the only answer with a smile.
"Then give me health."
“…Is this all you need?”
“For me, nothing is more important than this.”
"Then, deal."

Chapter 1: Just like that, he started a new life
Consciousness rises to the surface.
It seemed like I had a strange dream.
"Hmm...headache."
Li Nian pressed his head, pondered, and slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was the shower head hanging high above his head.
When did I lie down in the bathroom?
He now felt his mind was hazy and not quite clear, as if he had a hangover, but he still vaguely remembered that he was writing before going to bed, and he lay down to rest after he was tired... During that time, he had no memory of running to the bathroom.
All in all, get up first.
Vague thoughts drove her body forward, and Li Nian wanted to sit up first.
Then, at that moment, an intense pain arose.
"Well--?!!"
Li Nian took a breath of cold air.
It seemed that because I had maintained an abnormal lying position for too long, my waist became very stiff, and every movement like this made me feel extremely sore.
"MD... So that's why I lay in the bathtub..."
Thanks to the pain, his mind suddenly became much clearer. Li Nian was a little afraid to move, so he temporarily maintained the posture of lying in the bathtub and began to move his eyes to observe his surroundings. When he looked around, he discovered something.
"This... doesn't seem to be my bathroom, right?"
No matter the furnishings or the decoration, it doesn't look like the familiar little space in my own home. There is a very strong sense of strangeness.
Where am I?
The concept began to have a sense of foreboding.
He felt the need to confirm the situation quickly, and regardless of the pain in his waist and legs, he reached out to feel the edge of the bathtub, trying to endure the discomfort and force himself to support his body. As a result, he somehow touched something sharp and cut his palm.
"pain!"
He quickly retracted his hand, but because he used too much force, a long and narrow bloody scratch was left on his palm, which was burning with pain.
Clang.
When he looked down, he saw a sharp knife that had fallen from the edge of the bathtub to the ground. It was the one that scratched him.
"Which idiot let..."
Li Nian was furious and was about to yell when suddenly, there was a buzzing in his head and a severe headache broke out without any warning.
Then, countless scenes suddenly flashed before my eyes like a kaleidoscope.
——A man and a woman smiled gently and stroked his hair.
——A group of students who were arrogant, sneering, and bossing him around.
——A roar resounding in the ears, a collapsing building, and rocks falling overhead.
——Two familiar figures lying in a pool of blood.
—And the trembling blade close to the wrist.
Those things that were experienced in the first person appeared before my eyes one by one.
