Qin Yun was 21 years old this year, a recent college graduate.

When he was thirteen, his parents divorced due to marital problems.

Before long, both parents had started their own new families.

Unwelcome in either new family, he had been living on his own ever since.

After graduating, unable to find a suitable job, he chose to deliver takeout as a temporary measure.

On Valentine's Day, after delivering a single order of birth control and sex toys to a hotel, he planned to call it a night and head back to his rented room.

At that moment, the dispatch software assigned him an order in the suburbs.

Qin Yun initially didn't want to take it, but the customer added a tip of 45 yuan.

A delivery fee of 56.4 yuan was enough to tempt Qin Yun, who was so poor he wished he could split every penny in half.

He accepted the order, picked up the takeout from the restaurant, and followed the navigation to deliver it.

After entering a dimly lit tunnel, a burst of intense light suddenly erupted ahead, and Qin Yun instinctively closed his eyes.

When he opened them again, he found himself inside a Lunar-class Cruiser tearing through the Warp and returning to realspace.

Realizing that he had transmigrated, Qin Yun felt as though ten thousand Caudillo Llamas were stampeding through his mind.

This was truly absurd to the extreme!!

Folks, you wouldn't believe it! He transmigrated while delivering takeout!!

It turned out that the 56.4 yuan delivery fee wasn't for the takeout, but for him, a living person.

But transmigration wasn't the worst part.

The worst part was seeing dozens of hideous mutants with glowing green eyes the moment he transmigrated.

They were wandering aimlessly in a wide corridor with flashing red lights.

Qin Yun's arrival startled them, and they turned their heads one by one, their gazes utterly chilling.

"Brothers, I'm just passing through, you guys carry on, do whatever you were doing, don't mind me."

The mutants clearly didn't understand him, and they howled as they pounced on him.

Qin Yun didn't even have time to scream before they disemboweled him and tore him to pieces.

In the instant before death, only one thought remained in his mind.

"What the hell kind of alien world is this?! I got torn apart the moment I transmigrated?"

He thought that death would be the end of it.

But Qin Yun soon discovered that he had been too optimistic.

His soul was pulled into a blood-red ocean ravaged by storms.

The crimson waves were overwhelming, surging with incredible force, each wave easily tens of thousands of meters high.

In the ocean, countless souls were floating, sinking, and screaming.

Terrifying, bizarre laughter echoed from the depths of the ocean, rumbling and booming.

Qin Yun was completely numb.

He thought his life was already at rock bottom, but who knew it could keep falling.

What kind of hell was this?!

Just as Qin Yun was lamenting his tragic life, a golden figure appeared and fished him out of the blood-red ocean.

"Are you here to save me?" Qin Yun asked expectantly.

The figure's tone was full of majesty, "No, I am here to send you back to continue fulfilling your duty."

"No, brother, I was torn to pieces by those monsters, and you still want to send me back? Can't you be a little less cruel?"

The figure ignored Qin Yun's complaints.

The next second, a golden light appeared out of nowhere, enveloping Qin Yun and swallowing his soul.

When he woke up again, he found himself lying in front of a shrine.

His body, which had been gutted, was restored to its original state, without a trace of injury.

"Who am I?"

"Where am I?"

"What happened?"

Qin Yun was completely bewildered, unable to make sense of the situation.

When he regained some strength, he got up and looked around at his surroundings.

Everything that met his eyes made his scalp tingle with fear!!

He even suspected that he had entered the set of some horror movie.

On the altar in front of the shrine were several polished human skulls.

Dry and grotesque human heads connected to metal cables were submerged in green liquid, linked to complex machinery.

Against the walls, recessed devices held deformed human bodies, utterly disfigured, bound or pierced by cables.

Just looking at it made your scalp crawl.

It was straight out of a horror movie set.

Qin Yun suppressed his fear and continued to examine the rest of the place.

He saw a double-headed eagle banner hanging on the wall.

The doors and the machinery were marked with a skull-and-gear emblem.

One wall had a large window.

Through it, he could see stars, asteroids, and the vast expanse of the void.

Qin Yun realized he was inside a giant metal warship.

On the side of the hull was a golden double-headed eagle relief, and a massive broadside cannon.

Qin Yun also saw cracks in the void, emitting strange glows.

These cracks spread across the entire starscape, dividing the stars.

One crack was particularly striking, splitting the entire galaxy in two.

These things gave Qin Yun a bad feeling.

It seemed he had transmigrated to a terrifying place.

That transmigrator forbidden zone alongside Cthulhu and the SCP Foundation – the Warhammer 40k universe.

And it was the darkest, most desperate era for the Imperium of Man, the Age of Ending.

Abaddon the Despoiler's Thirteenth Black Crusade had destroyed Cadia, causing the Eye of Terror to expand and tear the galaxy apart.

The Warp was ascendant, and the Imperium of Man was on the verge of collapse.

The red sea he saw after death must have been the chaotic Warp.

And that golden figure, Qin Yun guessed, was the Emperor.

"How could I transmigrate to this hellhole?! Is it because I played Space Marine 2?!"

"But those game disclaimers were just for fun!"

"It was just a game, Emperor, you didn't have to take it so seriously!!"

Realizing where he was, Qin Yun felt like throwing up.

He performed the Aquila Salute before the shrine, praying to the Emperor.

"Big brother, stop messing with me, I can't stand this place!!"

Perhaps it was a transmigrator's perk.

As soon as he finished praying, Qin Yun received a response.

A golden, glowing circle appeared above the shrine.

A Cherub in the form of a child flew out, and told Qin Yun the whole story in a mechanical voice.

Qin Yun couldn't go back.

For some special reason, he had been chosen by the Emperor to become a Living Saint.

Now, his duty was to entice Earth's players to come to this universe and work for the Emperor.

The current Imperium had lost its vitality, becoming a senile, bloated corpse.

It needed fresh blood to revitalize it.

And humans from the early third millennium were the most curious and receptive group.

As for the warship Qin Yun had transmigrated to, it was the Imperial Glory.

It belonged to the Solar Fleet under the Imperial Navy.

It had been ordered to support Cadia and stop Abaddon's Thirteenth Black Crusade.

Cadia had fallen, and the Eye of Terror had expanded.

Realizing the failure, the Imperial forces retreated from the Cadia battlefield.

The Imperial Glory was also ordered to retreat and return to the Sol System.

The ship had an accident while navigating the Warp, causing the Geller Field to fail.

The crew faced the Warp directly and were corrupted by Chaos.

They had all turned into deranged mutant monsters, only knowing how to kill and eat.

Strategic Command was the only place on the ship that had not been corrupted by Chaos or infested with monsters.

After Qin Yun was killed by those mutants, he was resurrected in Strategic Command.

"Good heavens, is the Emperor planning to mass-produce E-daemons??"

Qin Yun's eyes widened as he muttered to himself.

From any angle, the player group seemed like a higher-dimensional version of Warp daemons.

After explaining everything, the Cherub gave Qin Yun a mission.

[Mission: Summon Companions. Alone, you have no chance against so many enemies. You need enough companions. Convince at least five players to sign up and enter the game. Mission Reward: 500 Faith Points, Basic Combat Gear.]

After inquiring, Qin Yun learned from the Cherub the use of Faith Points.

Faith Points could be used to learn special skills at the shrine.

Exchange for gene-seed, mechanical implants to become Astartes or Magoss.

Exchange for or draw bound weapons and equipment, speeding up resurrection.

And temporarily gain a portion of the Emperor's power by consuming Faith Points.

In short, Faith Points were the players' currency, which could be exchanged for all sorts of good things from the Emperor.

After issuing the mission, the Cherub left, leaving Qin Yun alone.

Whether it was a manifestation of the Emperor's power or a special ability he possessed, when he used the Strategic Command's console, he discovered that the Cogitator System could connect to Earth's internet.

Using the internet, Qin Yun tricked a group of Warhammer enthusiasts into forming the Warhammer Toilers Group, hence the opening scene.

Bang!

The sound of the blast door being hit rang out again, tightening Qin Yun's heart.

He gripped the gun with both hands, slowly walked over, and pressed his ear against the door.

The blast door was made of steel-reinforced plastic and was very thick, but he could vaguely hear many footsteps and shouts outside.

The monsters were wandering outside.

Clearly, they knew he was here.

At this moment, the light screen reappeared.

[Mission 1: The login devices for the fifteen players who have signed up for the game have been deployed. Do everything possible to get the players to log into this universe. Reward: 200 Faith Points and a small amount of experience for each new player who logs in.] [Mission 2: Clear the Imperial Glory of enemies. The Imperial Glory is a valuable asset of the Empire, and it must not fall into the hands of Chaos pawns. Kill the monsters transformed from the crew and seize control of the ship. Reward: 20 Faith Points and a small amount of experience for each enemy defeated. Recapturing the Imperial Glory will reward you with an Epic-level item and a large amount of experience points.]

"200 Faith Points for each player who logs in!"

Qin Yun's eyes went wide.

At this stage, the most important thing for him was Faith Points.

This stuff was the key to improving his strength.

He had five hundred Faith Points on hand, and if ten players logged in, he could get two thousand Faith Points.

He could use these Faith Points to improve his gun shooting and melee combat skills.

Enhancing his survivability.

Plus the automatic pistol in his hand.

Dealing with those mutants outside shouldn't be a problem.

At this moment, Qin Yun's stomach rumbled.

"I'm a living saint, why do I still have to eat!"

Qin Yun touched his stomach and sighed softly.

He glanced at the blast door and walked towards the cabinet next to the wall.

After opening the cabinet, there were several energy bars and purified water inside.

Tearing open the packaging and stuffing it into his mouth, Qin Yun showed a painful expression.

The nutrient paste tasted like starch mixed with lard, greasy and difficult to swallow.

If it weren't for the purified water to cut through the grease, he wouldn't have been able to eat it at all.

Bang!

A crash came from outside.

The force was so great that even the blast doors shook slightly.

"Hurry up and land, if I stay here alone any longer, I'll go crazy myself..."

Qin Yun muttered to himself as he ate the nutrient paste.

P.S.: The Emperor is the protagonist's cheat, and the protagonist is also the Emperor's cheat.

I'll explain it slowly later, let's get on board first.

Daily loyalty, here's a Krieg meme.

P.S.: And a Cherub, let's see if it's creepy or not.
