Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World (Final Revision)

Deadly flower (4)

Xin Jian is very skilled in limiting the consequences when a situation gets out of control (usually because of herself).

Let's go back to the beginning.

Xin Jian came down to the scenarios once again and (got lost) stumbled upon a hidden scenario.

(Xin Jian: What are you saying? I'm not lost if I didn't have a final destination in mind to begin with.)

So, she somehow ended up in a house (one way or another) and arrived to the dining room where someone whose face felt vaguely familiar was sitting at the end of the long table with his legs propped up on it and a relaxed demeanor (to look cool).

Xin Jian doesn't know when it started to go wrong. Maybe it was from the moment she entered a stranger's house in the middle of the apocalypse (even though it wasn't her first time), or when she casually sat on a chair when she noticed that someone was there instead of leaving.

She examined the person in front of her. It was a man who looked young, had a medium build with blond short hair that was split seventy-thirty and a pair of emerald-green eyes.

"Hello, fella. What are you doing here? It's strange to see someone so late into the night."

Is that the point?

Maybe there was also something wrong with his brain since he still seemed relaxed despite the fact that a stranger had just come in and sat across him, but she wasn't quite sane either so she couldn't blame him. Moreover, the fact that it was currently the end of the world was an attenuating circumstance for him, not that it prevented Xin Jian from mentally judging him though.

She asked, "Who are you?"

The man, who should have been the one to ask that question, stared at her for a while then smiled.

"I'm a vampire."

Why??

Xin Jian closed her eyes. She usually disliked stories with vampires (at least as its main theme) because they were all the same, especially the 'romance' part, or maybe she simply didn't like it because there was romance.

Then, the 'vampire' seemed to think about it and continued.

"I'm an alpha vampire."

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Xin Jian cut him off and stood up.

A vampire wasn't really a problem, but the novels with an omega universe was the point when she dropped the story.

Moreover, did alpha vampires even exist?

The man added with an amused grin on his face.

"Ah, and I'm also an obsessive type of character."

Xin Jian retorted:

"Didn't you think that saying you were three of my disliked novel tropes in a row would let me guess you had a skill that lets you know what people dislike?"

Indeed, alpha vampires didn't exist. Or else that would be absolutely horrendous and she should just kill herself.

Ah, right, she couldn't. She was immortal.

Then she would assume that it didn't exist because she still wasn't dead and hope that writers would never come up with such an awful idea.

...Or she could just continue to ignore the stories with the tropes she disliked as she has done until now. That was a good idea too.

She made a mischievous expression.

"What if I check, then?"

The man didn't back down and made an ambiguous look while saying, "Are you sure?"
