Awakening in fog

The Blue Planet trembled, and for a heartbeat, everything that had been familiar—sky, cities, oceans—felt fragile. Then it was gone.

When Shen Yan opened his eyes, he did not see buildings, streets, or even the sun. Only mist. Endless, thick, pulsating mist that swallowed the world.

He sat up, blinking, heart hammering. The cabin was simple—a wooden frame, thatch roof sagging, bare walls—but safe. For now.

A cold draft brushed his skin, and a small, glowing watch on his wrist vibrated once, twice, then projected a panel in midair.

[System Notification]

"Welcome to the Myriad World blue planet humans ! "

A heavy chilled sound echoes in everyone's mind which shocks and panics to a human's heart.

Then a series of notifications which gives reality check

Rules of Survival:

1.Do not stay in the fog too long.

2.Night outside cabins is prohibited.

3.Check your watch for weather and day cycle.

4.Humanity and law are absent; other species may be friend or foe.

5.Your cabin is your only safe zone. Upgrade it.Try to survive.

Novice period: 7 days.

Shen Yan swallowed and looked at the panel in daze, he couldn't understand the situation

**Myriad world what does this mean???

I am clearly in my bedroom preparing for a date then brother Jian going to pick me up and next moment here.

I am also I don't think anyone can't prank on such a large scale.**

*He takes long breaths to calm himself.*

**let's check carefully surrounding only a broken cabin with thatch bed also dim light which eliminates some distance in windows we can see gray fog.**

It gives unknown oppression which gives chills to the body.

There's a beast roar you can hear from the fog, it feels when you look into the fog it also looks at you.

Shen Yan checks the panels carefully, there several sections you can see

Personal Info

Notification

Chat

Pet

weather

Day/Night Timer

And many more but for this moment they are gray

His hands instinctively checked the backpack at first. Novice package, standard issue:

Water bottle ×2

Dry bread ×2

Flint striker ×1

Old Simple knife × 1

Old stone axe × 1

Workbench × 1

That's it ＼⁠(⁠°⁠o⁠°⁠)⁠／

Light. Hunger. Cold. He could feel the weight of every single item. The fog outside stirred as if aware. Somewhere in the distance, faint, malicious sounds echoed—low roars, something scratching at the earth.

Then he tapped the watch.

Click chat you can see

World limited for 1 per person every day

Regional chat in the top left corner can limit none

Family and friends chat in the personal area

When he sees that can't think of anything so check them one by one with excitement and nervousness.

First tap family chat there are 4 member icons flickering from time to time

Shen Mei : "Everyone how are you!"

Shen Wei : "we are fine what about you Meimei"

Shen Lin : "sis we are fine but where's Yanyan"

Shen Yan : "I'm fine but where's the father"

Shen Wei : "we are in one cabin, and he is checking the status of the cabin"

Shen Mei: "Ok everyone rest first it's getting colder.."

Shen Hong : "from the system overview I think there's mainly three types of seasons :

Winter, summer and rainy season

It will bring natural disasters. "

Shen Lin : "So,Let's check the surroundings tomorrow and try to update our cabin."

Shen Wei : "Good night everyone"

Shen yan closed the family chat tap regional

Chat

The regional chat opened automatically.

The top corner shows the amount of people which is (10,000/10,000), according to system each survivor present from 80 to 200 kilometers.

Which shows how vast the region is, there's less physical interaction going to happen between people in the early stage.

He checks the watch there's many things, so he slows down so he can get some useful information.

"Hello , Anyone awake?"

"Help! The fog moved closer— there's someone in the fog!"

"Don’t go outside! "

"Is someone pranking me"

"Are we in any movie set???"

"I am son of the minister I can give you 1 million dollars,if you take me to the home ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ"

" Hey upstairs come back to reality ok "

"Stop typing nonsense, there are beasts nearby!"

" Who draws talents or bloodline??"

"I'm the protagonist ᕙ⁠(⁠ ⁠~⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠~⁠ ⁠)⁠ᕗ"

" Delulu upstairs →⁠_⁠→"

" we collectively come here from blue planet (⁠・⁠o⁠・⁠)"

" It's cold here, I'm freezing! ... temp is 2 degrees "

Shen Yan grimaced and closed the chat. The world had changed, and people’s panic was already raw and contagious.

He typed a message, fingers trembling slightly.

Shen Yan: "brother Jian"

A pause. Then:

Lu Jian: I am.

Short, calm. Precise. No extra emotion, but in that simplicity, Shen Yan felt a tether in the chaos.

Shen Yan: Be careful of fog.

Lu Jian: "Ok Yanyan you also and good night let's talk tomorrow night "

Brief pause

Lu Jian : "first draw your blood line and talent and check and collect resources tomorrow."

He opened the watch’s crafting panel. The workbench in the cabin glowed faintly.

Available Blueprint: Basic Lamp

Wood ×3

flint striker x1

Increases light radius

Weak fog repulsion for 6 hours which is enough for the first night.

He fed wood into the lamp, watched the flame flare, felt relief. The fog recoiled subtly, but only just. Enough to let him breathe, not enough to ignore danger.

After Lu Jian checks another time conversation between them

A faint smile. Even in the mechanical, ruthless world, trust lingered between them—quiet, unspoken, unbreakable.

Night fell. Fog pressed against the cabin like a living weight. The lamp flickered but held steady. Every shadow outside seemed patient, waiting for a mistake.

Scratches and low growls tested the walls but stayed at bay.

Shen Yan exhaled, heart still pounding. The world had not killed him yet. But it was patient. Observant. And tomorrow, it will demand more.

By dawn, the fog thinned slightly, revealing vast plains, forests, a lake glinting faintly. The cabin walls had survived. The lamp burned low. The watch chimed. And the Myriad World waited for the next choice.
