ALS Patient Raises an Apocalypse Queen Through His Phone

At eighteen, Du Ziren’s world shattered in an instant. A brutal crash took both of his parents away, leaving him utterly alone in the world. Misfortune never came singly—soon after, fatal ALS spread relentlessly to his chest, crippling his body little by little. Trapped immobile in a cold hospital bed, he could do nothing but lie still, waiting numbly for his inevitable death, with no hope, no warmth, and no reason to cling to the broken world. When despair swallowed every corner of his life, a bizarre, mysterious game named Doomsday Survival suddenly popped up on his ordinary phone, out of nowhere and beyond all explanation. Bound to no rules of the real world, the game unfolded a completely different doomsday dimension before his eyes. Inside the dark, cramped virtual cell lingered a lonely girl—trembling in endless darkness, tortured by severe starvation, hovering on the verge of death. Shockingly, she bore the exact same lonely, broken eyes and helpless fate as him, as if she were another him struggling in the doomsday hell. Moved by this strange resonance and out of the last tenderness in his dying heart, Du Ziren chose to reach out. He topped up merely six yuan, trivial money to him, and sent her precious food to ease her suffering. Seeing her survive the crisis tremblingly, he kept topping up again and again, continuously sending sturdy protective gear and survival supplies to help her fend off the hidden dangers lurking in the dark doomsday cell. He poured all his remaining warmth and powerless longing into this unknown girl in the game, quietly guarding her in his helpless final days. He never expected anything in return, nor did he crave any extravagant miracles to save his own dying body. Yet one day, across the barrier of two worlds, the girl sent him a mysterious package in return. Inside lay a bloody, gleaming zombie crystal core—a doomsday treasure that proved the terrifying, real apocalypse raging on her side was no game fiction. There are no fancy cheats or luxurious privileges in their story. No harem of beauties gathers for him, no luxury cars, armored tanks, modified RVs, or interstellar spaceships come to rescue him. His entire world is confined to a narrow, sterile hospital room and a single ordinary mobile phone. All he owns is the purest, softest tenderness left in the body of a dying boy who has lost everything. Step by step, relying on the silent supplies and warm guardianship from the boy in the real world, the lonely girl crawls out of the dark, desperate cell, fights through countless zombie hordes and doomsday crises, tempers herself in blood and fire, and grows little by little into a powerful, unrivaled doomsday queen. A bedridden dying boy in the real world, and a rising queen walking out of darkness—their transcendent bond spans two worlds, the only light in each other’s hopeless fate.
