Just call the polar bear

My name is Zhang Yanhang, just an ordinary Awakener and a part-time college student living a monotonous life, following the routine of school, cultivation, and home. I neither smoke nor drink; my only hobby is observing humanity during moments when time stands still.
I thought my dull life would continue forever, but one night, as I lay in bed ready to sleep, I unexpectedly stumbled upon something interesting.
【Enter the Ashen World?】
【Option One: Yes (Successfully enter the Ashen World and gain the ability to digitize your body as well as ways to become stronger, the price might be oversleeping and being late for school tomorrow.)】
【Option Two: No (Refuse to enter the Ashen World but feel it's a waste to sleep immediately, so decide to stay up all night gaming and cultivating, the price might be oversleeping and being late for school tomorrow.)】
【Option Three: Ignore for Now (Suggested for those with difficulty making decisions, you will agonize over whether to enter the Ashen World and will only fall asleep at two in the morning, the price might be oversleeping and being late for school tomorrow.)】
ps: The protagonist is not saintly, is decisive and ruthless, and thinks differently from the average person. Please refrain from criticism if this is not to your taste.

Ashen God

Ants recognize the forks they've constructed via pheromones, yet Zhang Yanhang lacked this function, so he could only tough it out, visiting every unexplored area until he naturally found the way forward. Fortunately, with Time Pause, there wouldn't be time wasted.


Without Time Pause, Zhang Yanhang even doubted whether three hours would be enough to find his way out of the Ant Nest; he could easily be lost inside.


"Choice! Which foot should I step forward with next?" Zhang Yanhang randomly made a useless choice to trigger Time Pause.


In the next few seconds, he would frequently trigger Time Pause to explore the Crimson Iron Ant Nest. Just thinking about this made Zhang Yanhang feel somewhat sad; such highly repetitive exploratory behavior was indeed tormenting to the will.
