Chapter 4: 1. An Unfortunate Young Man, Death

(In a Hospital, Somewhere)

A young man in his twenties, is seen lying down on a hospital bed.

His complexion is unhealthily pale with a look in his eyes that people of that age should not have; eyes devoid of life.

His condition can be summed up by one simple expression, 'One foot in the grave'.

This young man is Bu Cai.

Bu Cai has had a relatively miserable life.

Growing up as an orphan, he was given some support from the government and went to school like a every other child. Until the age of eighteen when he was left to enter harsh society, were there was no one to support him financially or physiologically.

During school he would perform incredibly well, his grades were always remarkable and he was steadily on track to get a much desired scholarship into university; Where he could build up qualifications then strive for good life with a stable and well paying job.

Alas, all his hard work was for naught as a second generation rich kid snagged that shit off him like stealing a candy from a baby simply due to one reason, connections.

Truly a touching example of, 'Diligence will always be rewarded'.

Due to Bu Cai having no connections of his own, he couldn't do anything (except curse the fucker's entire family over the course a year, results remain ambiguous; but he tried) and therefore was left with no other choice but to give up on the dreams of university and start working part time to sustain himself...

Well that didn't work for him either as every time he tried to get a job. For some reason or another... He was fired!

For Instance, when he got his first job at stocking the shelf in a local supermarket, he dropped a box containing a jars of sausages and the remnant juices ended up splashing on a vegan.

Said individual then proceeded to complain to the manager, about how her 'rights' had brutally violated and demanded Bu Cai to be fired for such misdemeanor.

After a while of back and forth arguing, the manager was sick of her bullshit and just told Bu Cai to leave even though this was barely a reason to do so. Although he tried to fight for his case, the manager said that regardless of his pleas, there was camera evidence and it was Bu Cai's fault. Therefore he had to incur the consequences no matter how minor of a mistake it was.

It was complete nonsense, but he brushed it off as a one off. And this marked the end of his first job experience...

Ridiculous incidents like this repeated until he reached his 64th job where, after being fired like usual, he had been on his way back to his shitty cramped apartment that had rent overdue and was feeling depressed as fuck.

The only reason he had decided to strive for this long and planned to keep going on, was due to the fact that he wanted to get back at the shitty world that had seemed to be against him since the day of his birth, and the fact that his favourite Xianxia series uploads daily.

But then, things got worse.

He felt like shit that day, so went for a check-up and was informed to have a horrifying terminal disease that eats away at your health over time, Unsurprisingly, this had terribly high prices for methods of prolonging the inevitable and definitely not for someone like him who broke as fuck.

From this incident he concluded that earth, had enough of his stubbornness and, decided end him for good.

And now we have reached to the current day. Although he had no real evidence, he was quite sure he'd die today.

Call it a gut instinct (though he was sure that shit stopped functioning about a week ago).

Although he had multiple mental breakdowns over the years, this one had been by far the worst.

The agony of knowing that this illness is slowly gnawing away at the only thing that had not been taken from him, his life, now that truly put the nail in the coffin for his sanity.

During his time in this hospital room which felt more like a cell, no one had visited him.

Friends? He had some during his time in school and actually felt that they were people who he could open up to and trust... but once they had found out he had no future they cut all contact without second thought.

Parents? He had long given up on fantasies of them coming back for him, as it was simply unrealistic and nonsensical.

Girlfriend? The closest thing he had with someone of the opposite gender was through the screen of his barely-functioning shitphone, which through the small screen he could watch some low-quality porn. This was not due to the fact that he had some particular defect, and was in fact relatively handsome, but he didn't really have the time for it. Girls also seemed to avoid him for seemingly no reason; possibly due to the stench of immense poverty, or his SSS-Rated bad luck was being super effective. He had no clue.

So finally, the time has come.

He feels his eyes get heavier and his heart rate decreasing.

As death is approaching, he can't help but reminisce over the only enjoyable thing in his life, Webnovels.

More specifically, Xianxia novels.

You know? The ones with the protagonist having to overcome numerous hardships by the their sheer will and plot arm- *cough* ingenious planning! And them marking their names on the annals of time by reaching new heights never seen before on the path of the dao and slaughteri- *cough* visiting multiple clans with arrogant younger generations to assert dominance! All this meanwhile acquiring a grand harem of heaven-destroying beauties along the way?

if such a thing couldn't make Bu Cai's blood boil, he wouldn't be a man!

And so, he read the thousands and thousands of chapters of multiple Xianxia such as, 'Emperor's Damnation', 'With The Gods', and 'Preach Through The Heavens'...

Realisation Dawns on Bu Cai, in his last moments before leaving the realm of the living...

He hasn't been able to catch up to the latest chapter of 'The Reincarnation Of The The Heavenly Sovereign Emperor Dragon God That Will Reach The Apex This Time'!

Bu Cai knew that this regret would stay with him in his eternal slumber, and could only lament at how his bad luck will not even leave him alone to die peacefully. :'(

And so he dies with eternal regret, or does he?
