6:00 in the morning.
J City
South District
Ming is sleeping inside his apartment with a black frog on his face. He found it in the wild and miraculously kept it alive despite having no experience raising animals. So he named the frog Da Vinci, even though they had no connection.
[Ding~ The end-of-the-world game has arrived, testing the host's affinity with frogs]

[Goodbye]
Hoo~
Ming suddenly sat up, causing the frog on his face to fall into his arms and bite him on the stomach.
Frog: You scared me!
"System?"
"I must be dreaming..."
"This dream feels too real..."
Ming rubbed his head but felt a headache coming on. He had been playing games with others last night and was already tired from leading them. They were about to win when they all disconnected at once, which made him angry. And to make matters worse, the server crashed as well.
He shut down his computer immediately and went to bed feeling frustrated.
Hoo!
After stretching lazily, he put Da Vinci onto his hand before jumping out of bed to open the curtains. When sunlight shone through, he shielded his eyes but saw a couple kissing passionately on their balcony across from him instead.
Da Vinci stuck out its tongue disapprovingly.
"You have such thoughts too? Come on; you're just a little frog."
Ming looked at Da Vinci disdainfully before turning back towards the balcony opposite him again. "Tsk tsk~ Their way of kissing is so intense! Love knows no bounds.
Oh my god! Why are they bleeding?"
"Why do they have this habit of biting each other's faces?"
"Oh my god!"
The woman had bitten off chunks of flesh from her boyfriend's face until it became unrecognizable - how deep must their love be for them to do something like that?
Hoo!!!
Suddenly someone fell in front of Ming - judging the silhouette flashing past quickly - it seemed like that gentle yet hot woman living upstairs who lived one floor above him (the 21st floor).
He hadn't even begun thinking why she jumped naked, and then another person fell; he recognized that face as her new boyfriend, who had just moved in recently.
"Ahh!!!"
"Don't!!"
"Help!!!"
"... "
Then came a series of screams followed by more screams echoing throughout the neighborhood while people ran around frantically or tackled others onto the ground making everything chaotic beyond belief.
At this moment, Ming remembered hearing [End-of-the-World Game]in, his sleep earlier, followed by System binding sounds upon waking up; could this mean that an actual apocalypse has come?
He immediately turned on the TV, only for nothing to happen since a power outage had occurred; then checked the phone next, realizing the battery died due to forgetting to charge last night, leaving himself without any news source.
Clang clang~
At this moment, someone was banging on their door.
"Help!"
"Open the door!"
"Don't come near me!" "Ah!"
The shouting outside suddenly stopped, followed by whimpering and sucking, and a red liquid flowed into the room from under the door.
Ming paused momentarily, turned around, and grabbed the toilet plunger in the bathroom. Although his apartment had a kitchen, he never cooked at home. It was all he had with him.
He walked to the door and looked outside through the peephole. Two people covered in blood were gnawing on a woman lying on the ground.
A bloody face appeared before him - it was his landlord!
"Ming! Open up for me!"
"Hurry up and open up! I'll waive your rent this month, or else I'll increase your rent!" The fat landlady pounded on the door and shouted.
"You're still threatening to raise my rent now?" Ming ignored her and gently backed away, moving a table to block the door.
It's already doomsday; who knows what kind of brain circuitry she has that she would consider raising the rent? You need to have a life first before you can spend money!
"Ahh~ Don't bite me~ Ming, you son of bitch deserves to die~ Ah..." The landlady's screams suddenly disappeared.
Ming took two steps back quietly, listening carefully to what was happening outside. After everything quieted down for a bit, he immediately sat back down on his bed and entered his consciousness where data panels appeared:

"It's real!"
Ming glanced at Da Vinci, lying motionless on his bed, staring blankly ahead. He couldn't believe that Da Vinci had become his travel frog.
[Travel Frog Prize Pool]
I am trying to figure out what this lottery prize pool can offer. In that case, let's have Da Vinci do some work first." Ming grabbed the spotted frog Da Vinci and rubbed its little head.
Buzz~
A series of words appeared in his mind one by one.
[Your Da Vinci feels your gentle touch and experiences a tingling sensation all over its body. It suddenly feels like it needs to do something.]
Was the travel switch really a pat on the head? What surprised Ming even more was that Da Vinci's mental state could be displayed in his mind. Then he watched as Da Vinci squeezed out from under the door crack.
The apartment door is such a big gap; no matter how often he told the landlord to change it, she wouldn't listen. It is simply capital suppressing the proletariat.
[Your Da Vinci squeezes out of the door crack and feels it necessary to remind you to make the gap bigger.]
[Your Da Vinci looks at the slow-moving zombies in front of him with wide eyes, not feeling scared because zombies don't eat frogs' brains. It thinks this is unfair.]
[It sees a woman's corpse lying on the ground and thinks it's a pity that her pretty white dress has been stained red with blood; she isn't clean.]
[At this moment, the woman's corpse suddenly sits up and drags her intestines across the floor like other zombies wandering in corridors. Da Vinci finds those intestines disgusting.]
[Suddenly, your Da Vinci feels disgusted, too; should it also disgust you? It wonders if it should put this female zombie into its travel backpack.]
"Damn!" Even if you want to change owners, please don't be so blatant!
