Synopsis
Lu Jin is twenty-nine, broke, and dying.
The doctors call it end-stage lung fibrosis.
The hospital calls it “please pay your bill.”
One night, ready to give up, he installs a sketchy Deep Space Echo app—advertised as an ultra-realistic “virtual girlfriend” simulator.
Instead of a waifu, he gets a starving teenage girl standing in a ruined bunker under a blackened sky.
“Can you hear me… Listener?
My name is Li Xing. This is Wasteland Zone A-11. Our water is gone. Our power is dying. Everyone else is dead.”
For her, Lu Jin is a distant, invisible god speaking through an old radio.
For him, she is a real person whose life rises or falls with every top-up he makes inside the app.
Every $1 recharge becomes food, ammo, or scrap metal.
Every pay-to-win bundle drops wasteland-grade relics, war machines and base upgrades straight into her broken world.
And then the app starts paying him back.
His ruined lungs begin to heal.
His D-grade body suddenly outplays corporate cyborgs.
The weapons and machines he sends her… start appearing in his world too.
As Li Xing grows from trembling survivor to iron-blooded war goddess, the powers behind both worlds finally notice the “bug” connecting them:
a dying engineer with a god complex and a maxed-out credit card.
In a society where breathing is taxed and life is cheap, Lu Jin discovers a brutal truth:
If he’s going to die anyway…
he might as well raise a goddess, bleed the system dry, and burn down both worlds.
If you enjoy the story, adding it to your collection is the greatest support you can give me.
