Campus pathways still carry the echo of a slammed door. Fang Yi stands at the edge of the sports field, phone in hand, staring at a breakup text from the beautiful classmate he thought would be the start of a modern romance. She is gone. The future he imagined, flatlined. He is not even angry yet, just hollow. Then the interface he never installed flickers into the corner of his vision and changes the subject permanently. Spiritual energy resurgence inbound. One year until the world cracks open. One year until everything sharpens into apocalypse.

Fang Yi reads the notification twice, then grins. System online. The timeline is a countdown, and he is the only one who can hear it ticking. He starts grinding martial arts while everyone around him still worries about exams and cafeteria gossip, stacking skills the world has forgotten how to use while the energy field builds just beneath the surface. The girl who left him will wake up one day to a planet on fire and find the boy she discarded standing at the center of it with a cultivation base and absolutely no inclination to save anyone who did not believe him. The apocalypse has a head start. So does he.
