The live chat exploded with complaints.
Resentment against the dev reached an all-time high.
Live Stream Chat:
"Damn, this dev is pure evil."
"He SAID this game would be relaxing and heartwarming!"
"Relaxing? This is pure psychological TORTURE!"
"Self-healing? More like nerve-wrecking!"
"Chat, I've made a decision."
Jane Carter took a deep breath.
"From now on, whenever I play this game, I'm wearing a DIAPER!"
The chat lost it.
Live Stream Chat:
"LMAO, did she actually PEE herself?"
"Nah, she's exaggerating… Right?"
"Considering how scary that Leviathan was… I wouldn't judge her if she did."
After resting on the deck for a while, Jane finally calmed down.
At least the immediate danger was over.
"But now there's a BIG problem…"
She looked around.
Her Sea Moth was gone—destroyed by the Reaper Leviathan.
And she was stuck on the Aurora.
With no vehicle and a Leviathan waiting in the water…
How the hell was she supposed to leave?
Live Stream Chat:
"Jane, forget escaping for now. EXPLORE the Aurora first!"
"Yeah! There HAS to be something useful inside!"
"Trust the dev—he's sadistic, but he NEVER leaves players completely helpless."
Jane sighed.
"You guys are right. Let's move on!"
She turned toward the deck's interior, feeling the heat intensify.
The Aurora was severely damaged.
Twisted metal. Flames everywhere.
Only a narrow path lay ahead.
"Warning: The Aurora's hull integrity is weak. Risk of collapse. Proceed with caution."
Chang'e AI's voice rang out.
Jane slowed her pace, stepping carefully.
Scattered across the deck were supply crates.
Opening them, she found:
✅ Water
✅ Food
Enough supplies to survive for a while.
Then—
"Ding! Scan detected traces of human tissue nearby."
Jane froze.
"Wait… What?!"
Her stomach turned.
This meant…
People had died here. A lot of them.
She shuddered.
Live Stream Chat:
"Damn… That's dark."
"Makes sense. A ship this big must've had a huge crew."
"It won't be haunted, right…?"
Jane glanced around nervously.
It's just a sci-fi game… not a horror game… Right?
The path ahead was blocked by flames.
No way through.
But—
She spotted a gaping hole in a nearby wall.
"That's my way in!"
She rushed inside.
The temperature dropped instantly.
She was in a small metal room, burnt but intact.
"Huh… This layout looks familiar…"
She looked around.
Then, realization hit.
"Wait. Is this… a BATHROOM?!"
Live Stream Chat:
"LMAO, NOT A TOILET!"
"Why did THIS survive when half the ship is in ruins?"
"Dev has a weird sense of humor."
She opened a storage crate.
Inside was a small ceramic device.
Her wristband scanned it automatically.
"Ding! Smart Toilet Blueprint Unlocked!"
Jane facepalmed.
"Out of ALL the technology that could've survived, WHY is the toilet perfectly intact?!"
Live Stream Chat:
"400 years into the future, and THIS is the peak of human innovation!"
"The toilet has an 'extraction' function. Uhhh… What does that mean?"
"Jane, TEST IT OUT!"
"NO! YOU GUYS ARE GROSS!"
She shook her head.
"Nope. Moving on!"
Leaving the bathroom, Jane entered a spacious hall.
🔥 Small fires burned across the floor.
She grabbed a fire extinguisher and put them out.
Scanning the area, she found:
✅ Autoplay Symphony Blueprint
✅ Card Battle Game Blueprint
✅ Smart Pool Table Blueprint
"Oh, this must be the entertainment lounge!"
It made sense.
A ship this huge would need a recreation area for the crew.
Most of the equipment was damaged, but one machine stood out.
A game console.
And it looked oddly familiar.
Live Stream Chat:
"Wait… Is that an ARCADE MACHINE?!"
"This dev really put an old-school arcade in a sci-fi game?"
"Gotta be an Easter egg!"
Jane rushed over.
She pressed the buttons.
The screen flickered to life.
Four bold words appeared:
"DINOSAUR KOMBAT"
Live Stream Chat:
"WHAT THE HELL IS DINOSAUR KOMBAT?!"
"Never heard of it! Did the dev MAKE this?"
"Jane, PLAY IT!"
She hit 'Start'.
A character selection screen popped up.
She chose a green-clad fighter.
The game began.
She was on a rooftop, surrounded by enemies.
Pressing buttons, she unleashed combos, sending opponents flying.
Live Stream Chat:
"NO WAY. IT'S A FULLY FUNCTIONAL GAME?!"
"This is insane. A GAME WITHIN A GAME!"
"Dev is on another level."
For 20 minutes, Jane fought through waves of enemies.
She reached Level 2 before getting defeated by a dual-wielding boss.
"Damn, this is actually fun!"
She stretched her fingers.
"Okay, chat. This game is totally beatable. Let's see if YOU guys can do it!"
Live Stream Chat:
"CHALLENGE ACCEPTED."
"I NEED to unlock this Easter egg!"
"…After I mentally prepare myself to face the Leviathan."
Reluctantly, Jane moved on.
She entered another corridor.
Half the staircase ahead was flooded.
Live Stream Chat:
"Uhhh… Jane, be careful."
"Leviathan might still be around…"
Ignoring her unease, she swam forward.
Then—
She spotted a sign on a door.
"Vehicle Bay."
Jane's eyes widened.
She rushed inside.
And there—
Right in front of her—
A towering metal suit.
A mech.
Live Stream Chat:
"HOLY SH*T, IT'S A MECH!!!"
"THIS. IS. THE. BEST. DISCOVERY. EVER."
"DEV, I TAKE BACK EVERYTHING BAD I SAID!"
Jane grinned.
"A MECH SUIT?! OH HELL YES!"
She stepped forward.
And activated it.
The game had changed forever.
