Truck-kun had a grudge against Liu Lixin. So much so that it even teamed up with a bus to kill him. Making his death like his life: horrible, painful, and quite brutal.

Unfortunately, this wasn't like the anime he watched. Instead of being sent to another world, he was thrown back in time.

Welp. Beggars can't be choosers. At least he was given a second chance.

Given how fortunate he was to receive one, he must have been a Koi in his previous life. Lixin laughed at the thought. With what he had been through there was no way that could be true.

However, once he started playing Watashinojinsei-dan Online he began to second-guess himself. Because his in-game Persona was exactly that. A Koi.

Now that he was bursting with luck he would make a name for himself as the greatest chef in the game. While he is at it he might as well get revenge on the people who ruined his first life.

Lixin and Zeyu journeyed deeper into the forest, skillfully avoiding lurking monsters with the aid of Lixin's map. However, as they ventured further, a new challenge arose.

The dense canopy overhead cast the forest floor into near-complete darkness, leaving them stumbling in obscurity, unable to see their own feet.

Yet, nature offered a solution in the form of glowing mushrooms, clinging to the gnarled trees like lanterns. Their gentle luminescence pierced the gloom, providing an eerie yet welcoming light.

As they continued their trek, Lixin made a mental note to procure a reliable light source the next time they were in town for situations like this.

"So, these Aureates, any guesses on what they'll look like?" Zeyu broke the silence as he gracefully leaped over a fallen log.

Lixin pondered the question, his expression contemplative. "It's hard to say, but I highly doubt they resemble your typical chickens."
