Early morning, Su Yun woke up.

He felt that the place he was lying on was very hard, and his body was curled up, which was quite uncomfortable.

Opening his eyes, he realized he was actually lying in the bathtub.

Su Yun was not surprised by this; he calmly climbed out, went straight to the vanity, looked at his incredibly handsome self in the mirror, and splashed cold water on his face to wake himself up further.

Afterward, Su Yun rubbed his face and muttered, "Another nightmare. It's really annoying. Sleeping in the bathtub gives me a sense of security, but it really is hard..."

He shook his head and began to brush his teeth.

Yes, Su Yun had been having nightmares, and lying in a comfortable bed made him feel insecure; only by coming to this somewhat enclosed bathtub could he fall asleep.

A side effect of transmigrating?

No, it was just World Consciousness not understanding the human heart.

World Consciousness, which did not understand the limits of human endurance, had transmitted everything that had happened in this world into Su Yun's mind the moment he transmigrated—a piece of information mentioned before.

However, the details had never been shared.

The details were that World Consciousness had transmitted every bit of information regarding those killed and persecuted by the mysterious forces to Su Yun, and in ultra-high definition, informing him of every detail and every miserable scene of those who had died.

In that instant, without any preparation.

All the information was poured into Su Yun's mind.

Before that, Su Yun was just an ordinary planner, a 996 corporate slave, just one of the masses.

As for now...

Honestly, Su Yun didn't even know if he had already gone insane.

"My name is Su Yun, 16 years old, living in a high-end apartment in the northeast of Chiyoda Ward. I am a student, have no girlfriend, attend school normally, and return home on time every day after school. I don't smoke, and I only take sips of soda. I go to bed at 1:00 AM and get less than 6 hours of sleep a day."

"Before going to bed, I always think about many problems and then do many things through the system. Once in bed, I can't fall asleep for a long time, leading to severe sleep deprivation. But my body, blessed by World Consciousness, will never carry fatigue or stress over to the next day. Doctors all say I am very abnormal and that it would be best to receive psychological therapy and counseling at least twice a week."

Staring at the handsome youth in the mirror, Su Yun muttered these words, then suddenly narrowed his eyes and revealed a gentle smile; anyone who didn't know him would surely think he was a kind-hearted boy.

Then, Su Yun took a sandwich he had bought on his way home from school yesterday out of the refrigerator, heated it in the microwave, took out a carton of milk, and finished his simple breakfast at the dining table.

He headed out, preparing to go to school.

However, after entering the elevator, Su Yun found that there were already two people inside.

There was nothing strange about this; in such a high-end apartment, it was normal for people to be going to work or school in the morning.

It was just that Su Yun recognized the two people in the elevator, so he raised his hand to greet them with his signature gentle smile: "Morning! Butterfly Kanae, and Shinobu."

The two people being greeted, the Butterfly sisters, responded.

With long, straight black hair, a sweet appearance, a gentle smile, and purple eyes, 17-year-old Butterfly Kanae raised her hand with a gentle smile and greeted him: "Good day, Su."

As for 15-year-old Shinobu, she had short hair and a straight face, looking quite unimpressed with Su Yun, only saying a lukewarm: "Morning."

The two sisters with completely different attitudes—one a gentle young lady, the other a prickly, rebellious tomboy—were truly something else.

However, both sisters had cute butterfly hair accessories on their heads, which matched their surname very well.

The Butterfly sisters were yet more two-dimensional girls familiar to Su Yun.

At first, Su Yun had been very surprised, but now that he had seen so much, it was no longer strange to see familiar faces in this comprehensive anime world; he had long since become calm about it.

The elevator continued to descend, and many people entered along the way. Upon seeing Su Yun, they would greet him, and he would respond with a smile, or even initiate the greetings himself.

As mentioned before, thanks to the benefits provided by World Consciousness, Su Yun was the owner of this entire high-end apartment building, and those living here were effectively his tenants, so it was only natural that they knew him.

Soon, the elevator reached the first floor, and Su Yun and the Butterfly sisters walked out.

Just after stepping out, Butterfly Kanae naturally took out a cute, small bag with butterfly decorations and handed it to Su Yun.

"Su, these are the cookies I made yesterday. If you don't mind, could you help me taste them? Um, it's also fine if you let your classmates taste them; it would be best if you have any suggestions for improvement."

Su Yun was stunned for a moment. Facing Butterfly Kanae's beautiful, gentle smile, he instantly understood what she meant.

Calling it a "tasting" was actually just her gentleness and empathy; she felt that as a 16-year-old boy, Su Yun must have self-esteem and wouldn't easily accept things given by others, and that most boys like that would take such a gesture as a slight.

Of course, this was because Butterfly Kanae didn't realize how much charm she possessed. A normal 16-year-old boy facing this situation wouldn't feel like he was being given charity at all, but would instead accept it joyfully and subsequently develop the three great illusions of life—she is interested in me!

He smiled and naturally took the bag of cookies, accepting Butterfly Kanae's kindness and expressing his gratitude.

Afterward, the two parties separated at the intersection and headed in different directions, as they did not attend the same school.

After walking for a while, the younger sister, Shinobu, finally couldn't help but pout: "Sister, you are really too nice to that guy."

The gentle smile on Butterfly Kanae's face remained: "Well, after all, Su is all alone and it's very hard for him."

Shinobu retorted: "He owns the whole apartment building; he's practically a winner in life. How can you tell he's having a hard time?"

Butterfly Kanae tilted her head: "Shinobu, you seem to have a lot of opinions about Su? Why is that?"

Shinobu let out a stifled "hmm," and finally scratched her head like a tomboy and said: "How should I put it? It's not exactly that I have opinions, it's just that his smile always makes me feel like it's fake. I always say I really hate that feeling—even though he has such a good-looking face."

The last part was a complete mutter, and even Butterfly Kanae didn't hear it clearly.

However, Shinobu's earlier words made Butterfly Kanae understand. The gentle girl put away her smile and wore a serious expression as she said: "Shinobu, although I don't know what Su is carrying, as we know, he is already all alone. It is truly very hard to shoulder things all by oneself."

"So, sometimes wearing a mask is also to protect oneself. We, who have never experienced being all alone, have no right to criticize anything. So, don't say anything more about Su."

Butterfly Shinobu fell silent, then pouted and muttered, "Got it, got it, I won't say anything more about him... even though you've been working so hard too, Sister..."

Butterfly Kanae revealed a gentle smile once more and patted Butterfly Shinobu's head. "But Sister still has you, doesn't she?"

"Ugh... Sister is so cunning, always saying things like that..."

Faced with such tenderness, Butterfly Shinobu couldn't help but turn her head away, her pretty face flushing slightly.

Just as the atmosphere between the sisters was becoming rather intimate, they suddenly felt a sensation in their hearts—or more accurately, every person in the city, the entire country, and the whole world felt it at that very moment, instinctively looking up toward the sky.

There, the Light Screen that had appeared yesterday had manifested in the skies above every corner of the globe.
