Chapter 1 Strange Occurrences

"Grandma, did Grandpa die of heart disease too? They looked like they were over 35. Could it be they just aged early? My father, mother, and I were all recently diagnosed with severe congenital heart disease!"

"It's strange, is it genetic? Or a genetic misfortune, a hereditary curse? Otherwise, it's impossible for everyone in the family to have this congenital heart disease. The probability is extremely low. And this, the physical examination report shows that my parents are already over 35. Why are they okay? Did the doctor make a mistake, or are they just exaggerating?"

Shen Wei continued to flip through the photos until he came to the picture of that strange book!

"Damn, the Book of Destiny, that name sounds impressive, but it's not elegant enough..."

Shen Wei commented in a low voice!

From the photos, the Book of Destiny was covered with many bizarre symbols, obscure texts, and terrifying drawings! Shen Wei roughly flipped through the photos of the book and found that it seemed to be related to a strange god!

It was said that this god could help those who worshiped him rewrite their own destiny, grasp supreme power, and gain endless life!

"This is a pretty good sales pitch. Much better than those motivational speakers. No wonder he can be a god. But the more I look at it, the more he seems like… an evil god?"

"Crap, no way! My parents worship an evil god!"

Such a strange thought suddenly popped into Shen Wei's mind!

"Knock, knock, knock."

A knock sounded at the door, pulling Shen Wei back to his senses! He turned off his phone, put it back in his pocket, and then gently opened a crack in the bedroom door!

His parents were already gone, it seemed they had gone out again.

Shen Wei tiptoed to the door and looked out through the peephole. Two people wearing black hats and masks were standing outside. They covered most of their faces, and Shen Wei couldn't see what they looked like at all! But he was sure these people weren't his parents in disguise because they had their own keys!

These two guys seemed to be knocking rhythmically. After listening for a while, Shen Wei decided to abide by Rule Four and not open the door for people wearing black hats! Because these guys were knocking in Morse code, they definitely weren't good people! Maybe they were apostles of some evil god?

After knocking for a while without any response, they left with good sense!

"Since the people outside can come in, why can't I leave? Can I survive by escaping this cozy little home? The rules on this white paper aren't all right, maybe the rule about not being able to leave the cozy little home is wrong..."

Thinking of this, Shen Wei said to his strange right hand, "I want to simulate..."

"One year of life, no bargaining..."

"No bargaining, my ass! I only have two years of life left. Take it or leave it. I'm not living anymore, okay? I'm going to die..."

After saying that, Shen Wei pretended to rush out the door!

"Consider me unlucky. Everyone saw it, I didn't want to give it, but he insisted. Half a year of life, okay! Any less and you can go die. See if I care?"

Shen Wei's strange right hand suddenly shot out of his pocket and grabbed his neck, threatening him.

After thinking about it, Shen Wei happily agreed.

"Hey, can you not talk so scary? It's just the two of us here, isn't it?"

"That's not necessarily true. Alright, simulation start!"

My name is Shen Wei. On this day, I was trapped in a Rule Anomaly called the Cozy Little Home. I thought escaping this home was the path to survival, so I decided to try it.

I opened the door and sneaked out. The air of freedom was indeed sweet. I ran freely on the road, trying to find a safe hiding place. But before I could run far, I was surrounded by a group of people wearing black hats and masks.

They pulled out steel pipes and said to me, "Little flying club is coming." Then I lost consciousness. When I woke up again, I was in a place where I couldn't see my fingers. Two red lights suddenly lit up in the darkness, and then I became a living corpse.

"Simulation end, collect payment."

With a flash of white light, half a year of life was once again absorbed by Shen Wei's strange right hand. Shen Wei immediately felt like his body had been emptied, as if he had released a great magic spell containing ten billion lives more than a dozen times in a single day.

"Sure enough, escaping the Cozy Little Home is impossible. There's a group of people wearing black hats and masks guarding outside? Are they monitoring me? What are they plotting?" Shen Wei kept thinking about the possibilities of the situation, and finally came to an extremely terrifying conclusion.

"These guys might be trying to sacrifice me, using me as a sacrifice to gain the so-called 'god's' favor, so that their lives can be extended, and everyone outside are their followers..."

"Hehe..."

"Why the hell are you laughing? If it weren't for you, would I have entered this terrifying Rule Anomaly?..."

Hearing the mocking laughter of his strange right hand, Shen Wei couldn't hold back anymore and unleashed a torrent of curses filled with maternal references.

Shen Wei's strange right hand was not to be outdone, and they cursed each other wildly. After they were tired of cursing, both sides called a truce.

Shen Wei, who hadn't eaten a bite all day, felt a little hungry. He opened the refrigerator to find something to eat, but it was full of black plastic bags containing unknown red chunks of meat!

Looking at these unknown, strange chunks of meat, Shen Wei couldn't help but be stunned. "Based on my chef experience learned from New Western Culinary School, this isn't the meat of any animal! Facing this kind of meat of unknown origin, you can't eat it. After all, the market is full of science, technology, and ruthless tricks!!"

"This shouldn't be human meat, right!..."

Shen Wei suppressed the terrifying thought rising in his heart and continued to search around for more clues!

At this time, Shen Wei saw a wooden door at the end of the corridor. He tried to twist the doorknob, but it wouldn't open. It seemed to be locked! Just as Shen Wei turned to leave, the door creaked open on its own!

Not only that, but the door to Grandma's bedroom also opened. A gaunt, disheveled, red-eyed monster walked out. He was also holding a bloody axe.

The guy twisted his stiff neck, making cracking sounds. His blood-red eyes stared fixedly at the bewildered Shen Wei!

"You must die, or everything will be over..."

The terrifying monster muttered as he quickly ran towards Shen Wei with the axe. Shen Wei was terrified, and he didn't care about anything else at the time. He plunged into the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers and then locked the wooden door.

The gaunt monster holding the axe frantically chopped at the wooden door, and Shen Wei inside was trembling with fear.
