Salt Evelyn

When San Francisco socialite Evelyn Hawthorne's wedding dress was stained with gasoline and blood on the eve of her engagement party, a woman with burns crawled out of an abandoned church in the slums of Chicago.

A strange server event, less a catastrophic glitch and more a tremor in the abyssal code, grants Barnaby consciousness. He isn’t flagged as a bug, no system alarm sounds for his deletion.

But with sentience comes instinct. An instinct to survive in this predatory digital ocean. And something else… a spark of defiance against the engulfing darkness. Barnaby, against all programming and logic, decides to fight. Not just exist within his loop, but to truly exist and perhaps even… ascend within the broken, ravenous world of Grimshark.

In the last second before she lost consciousness, a voice appeared in her mind: 　　[ Ding ~ The melon-eating system is at your service. As long as you complete the melon-eating task, you can exchange it for supplies~~] 　　In order to have enough food and clothes, Jiang Youtao tried hard, so she ran around in the bloody world that was a fusion of many contemporary literatures, either eating melons or on the way to eat melons. 　　A certain educated youth from the same educated youth point traveled through time with space supplies, but ended up being a poverty alleviation stepmother; 　　"The mission is here ~ Watch and mess up the first meeting between the male and female protagonists, and the rewards are: 3 meat buns, 500g beef jerky, 1kg butter melon seeds." 　　A young wife in the village who had just been married for one day woke up and wanted to divorce her husband and marry her ex-husband's uncle; 　　"Ding ~ Watch the famous scene of the heroine getting divorced and applaud in public to receive 5kg of rice, 250g of pork, 5 feet of cloth, and 1kg of salt and pepper melon seeds." 　　The accountant's eldest granddaughter is a well-known lucky bag, while the second granddaughter is a jinx who is plagued by bad luck; 　　"Ding ~ Watch the jinx star commit suicide and help her, and you will get 5kg of white flour, a chicken drumstick, and 1kg of green tea flavored melon seeds." 　　Jiang Youtao enjoyed eating melons, and the melon seeds in her hand kept increasing. She had to go out to sell them. Before she knew it, she had made a fortune by selling melon seeds and became a famous roasted food king after the reform and opening up. The courtyard houses in Beijing and the small houses in Haishi were no longer a dream for her. She could go wherever she wanted. 　　But while she was eating the melon, a figure suddenly appeared beside her. Jiang Youtao reluctantly grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to him: "Big brother, do you want some melon seeds?" ♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤ One-sentence summary: There are too many melons, and the melon-eating crowd is very busy.

Imagine this: you're a college student, neck-deep in textbooks about mythology and theology, dreaming of one day becoming an expert in ancient legends and gods. That was me. My life was simple—normal even—until one fateful day, I died. Yeah, just like that. Game over. Or so I thought.

Think you know the gods? Trust me, you don’t. Open the book, step into my shoes, and see for yourself.
