Chapter 1: Famine at the Start, a System Awakens
Beijing in the third year of the Chongzhen reign tasted of rot. The air was thick with a cloying stench that clung to the skin, a mix of thawing frost and the sweet sickness of decomposing flesh. When Lin Xiao’s consciousness finally snapped back, the first thing he felt wasn’t pain. It was hunger. His stomach wall felt like it was being gnawed apart by a hundred rats, the acid burning his throat until he retched violently. He strained to sit up, his gaze landing on a pair of ragged cloth shoes where his toes poked through the holes. The memory flickered—gone in a heartbeat. A modern logistics manager, dead from a heart attack, waking up in the capital of the Ming Dynasty as a bottom-of-the-barrel vagrant who didn’t even have a name anyone remembered.
The System’s cold, mechanical voice exploded in his mind: [Spatiotemporal Supply Chain System activated successfully. Initial Energy: 1 point. Available for exchanging basic supplies or opening Storage Space.]
Lin Xiao’s pupils contracted. As a senior executive who had weathered massive corporate storms, he was terrifyingly calm. He didn't cheer. He quickly scanned his surroundings. On either side of the street stood crumbling adobe houses. Here and there, dried-up corpses lay tossed carelessly in the gutters, swarmed by buzzing flies. In the distance, a few ragged figures huddled around a skinned dead cat. Their eyes were clouded with hunger and malice, locked onto the single, moldy black biscuit in Lin Xiao’s palm, like wolves watching their prey.
