「May 7, 2017. Noon. The Shao Family Mansion.」
A perfectly ordinary weekend.
With excellent grades and an air of confidence, the sixteen-year-old beauty with long, straight black hair was enjoying one of the few holidays she had left, with just over a year to go before her Holy Ascension Selection Test.
On the desk before her, three curved monitors were joined together—one for watching virtual idols, one for playing games, and one for browsing forums. Paired with cyberpunk-colored neon lights, it was a truly blissful setup.
However, Shao Shuangyue, who should have been enjoying this wonderful moment, couldn't focus on her game. Instead, she kept glancing back anxiously at the figure behind her, an expression of horror on her face.
