the only savior

Chapter 1 The world has changed
"hu~hu~"

In the corridor of an old office building, a young man was panting downstairs.

The young man looks 24 or [-] years old and is an intern employee of a company here.

At this time, his left hand was holding a mobile phone, which was playing a song used to strengthen his courage at night, but his right hand had been stuffed in his pocket, holding something tightly.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~"

In the mobile phone, an unknown singing sounded, echoing in this small dark corridor, with a strange feeling.

"Bang!"

There was a loud noise, and the youth slammed open the security door leading to the underground garage.

"What the hell is going on here? What is it that has been following me!?"

He ran into the long corridor with an unconcealed panic on his face.

"Squeak... squeak..."

Behind him, a sound that sounded like bones and joints rubbing made people shudder.

The young man couldn't help shivering, his steps quickened, and the right hand that had been holding something subconsciously squeezed tighter.

"Grumbling..."

At this time, the strange voice from the rear suddenly got closer, like a whimper from the throat, and the young man felt that it seemed to be less than one floor away from him.

"Fuck! How come you go downstairs so quickly!"

His heart was beating fast, and he felt like he was about to be caught up.

"I don't care, just rub it here!"

The young man suddenly took out the thing that he had been holding in the palm of his hand from his right pocket, and started rubbing it while running.

"Ten seconds! It only takes ten seconds!"

Hearing the grunting sound that was getting closer, he was running wildly under his feet while constantly rubbing the thing.

"Blame blah blah blah... blah blah blah blah blah..."

In the pocket on the other side, the music of the mobile phone started to become intense at this moment.

"Kick ah ah ah..."

Behind him, the hurried footsteps also sounded, as if running, accompanied by the sound of the trash can being knocked over.

Hearing the sound that was getting closer and closer, the young man felt that he was like a year. He never thought that ten seconds would be so long.

The sour grunt sounded again, this time as if it came from behind a human ear.

Now he can be sure that the thing behind him is definitely not a human being!
It is absolutely impossible for a human to make such a sound!

The young man feels so regretful now that he should have started rubbing the stone in his hand earlier.

wrong!

He shouldn't have walked this corridor at all!

Wouldn't it be fragrant to rub it directly upstairs?Why should you keep tucked away for fear of being exposed?
Just when he felt that he was about to be caught up, the music that had been playing in his pocket suddenly sounded a high-pitched shout.

"Yo!!! Cough!!!!!!"

As the harsh soprano sounded on the phone, the chasing steps behind her suddenly stopped.

Then, a sharp and painful roar sounded from that direction, followed by a burst of more rapid footsteps.

A strong sense of oppression struck, and the young man did not dare to look back the whole time.

Just when the terrifying aura was about to spread over, the environment around him suddenly changed, his feet were empty, and the whole person suddenly fell off the bed.

He is home.

…………

"Huhuhu~"

Zhang Xiaoman sat on the ground panting violently, his mind filled with the terrifying scene he had just experienced.

In his right hand, an oval-shaped white stone slipped and fell to the ground with a heavy sound.

"It's definitely not human! Absolutely not!"

Zhang Xiaoman was soaked in cold sweat, his whole body seemed to be collapsed.

When he thought of the grunting grunt behind him and the last roar he heard, his heart became colder.

Pulling out his phone to cut off the music that was still playing, Zhang Xiaoman sat down on the bed.

Glancing at the stone on the ground, he looked at the blue circle above it that had temporarily dimmed, and unconsciously fell into a trance.

Just yesterday, while he was having lunch, a wild reed carp gave him a big surprise.

He unexpectedly ate a system in it!
That's right, it is the necessary soulmate of the legendary protagonists.

And its name is also very strange - Salvation Project.

The function is very simple, in fact, it is a lottery.

In addition, the system has two other abilities, namely "Mall" and "Upgrade".

There is only one item in the mall, and the upgrade function cannot be used due to insufficient points.

Even this system doesn't even have a system elf who can flirt, and everything has to be explored by him.

Zhang Xiaoman was naturally overjoyed when he suddenly got this kind of adventure.It's just a tragedy that before he could warm up the system, he encountered the kind of thing just now.

And the stone he was rubbing in his hand at the last minute was the item obtained through the system's daily lottery - Hearthstone.

【Hearthstone】

bound

Effect: After [-] seconds of continuous rubbing, you will be teleported back to your home.

Cooling time: 1 hours.

- Rub me.

Zhang Xiaoman looked at the attribute panel of the item in front of him, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses.

This kind of attribute panel, he only needs to keep staring at the item to see it, but this ability seems to be only useful for the props produced by the system, and has no effect on ordinary objects.

"Could it be that there really are those terrifying monsters in this world..."

Zhang Xiaoman muttered to himself, the scene just now could not help but reappear in front of him.

The oozing grunts, the terrifying roars, the heavy footsteps, and the icy gasps that almost spewed out the back of his head.

All of this makes me shudder just thinking about it.

Originally, after he obtained the system, he was ready to eat and die and reach the pinnacle of his life.

But now, after experiencing what happened just now, he suddenly found that everything seemed to be a little different from what he thought.

While thinking about it, Zhang Xiaoman only heard a crunch, and his door was opened from the outside.

A gentle middle-aged woman came in.

"Huh? You're back."

Pei Lingsu opened the door and saw her son's dejected expression. She was stunned for a moment, and then worried:
"Xiaoman, what's wrong with you, why do you look like you've lost your soul?"

Zhang Xiaoman subconsciously turned his head to look at her, then stood up with a "swoosh", walked over and dragged his mother to the living room.

"What the hell happened? What happened?"

Seeing his son's abnormal appearance, Pei Lingsu was worried.

"Grumbling..."

Zhang Xiaoman took a big mouthful of cold water and took a deep breath of air before putting on a very serious expression, explaining what happened to his mother.

"Mom, I think I ran into a monster just now..."
