Collapse, how did I become the Devil King of Destruction while playing a game?

He didn't even realize that although he had opened the instant noodle cup, he hadn't torn open the seasoning packet inside.

"Kevin, the seasoning packet," a colleague chuckled and then reminded him.

"Ah, oh, thank you." Kevin paused for a moment, then reached into the instant noodle cup and took out the seasoning packet that was soaking in boiling water.

This action left his colleagues speechless.

"Holy crap, Kevin's awesome!"

"666, ruthless iron hand"

Only then did Kevin belatedly notice the still-steaming spice packet in his hand.

But what puzzled him was that he didn't feel his hands being scalded by the hot water. When he put his hands into the hot water earlier, he didn't even feel the temperature; instead, he felt a bit cold.

However, upon seeing the hot water in the instant noodle cup, his hand suddenly felt a burning sensation.

The other colleagues were somewhat surprised, but that was all; it wasn't anything to make a fuss about.

Kevin tore open the seasoning packet and poured it into the instant noodle cup, then checked his hand and found it was completely unharmed. He quickly ignored it and returned to his computer screen, frantically typing away.

When Kevin felt hungry and realized he should eat, he found that his instant noodles had gone cold.

His colleagues were all busy, and Kevin quickly finished his cold instant noodles and continued typing away.

After a long time, the company lights had dimmed considerably, with only a few lights still on. It was unclear when, but only a few people, including Kevin, were still working overtime in the company.

When the computer clock jumped to 10 p.m., Kevin finally let go of the keyboard, feeling a little tired.

"Finally finished..." He leaned back in his seat and sighed.

While lying down, Kevin unconsciously closed his eyes in exhaustion.

Then some strange memories suddenly surfaced in his mind: a huge white-purple monster, various terrifying disasters, and Mei, whose body was on the verge of its limit.

"May!" Kevin woke up with a start, but the surroundings were extremely quiet. Only the computer screen in front of Kevin was still lit up, and next to the computer screen was a photograph.

Kevin picked up the photo and examined it closely. The photo showed a beautiful purple-haired girl wearing glasses; it was his girlfriend, Mei.

Kevin didn't take the dream he had just had while he was suddenly asleep to heart. He checked the time and it was already 11 p.m. He seemed to have slept for more than an hour.

Kevin shut down his computer and left the company.

As Kevin walked down the street, the bustling scene around him was familiar, because he had seen this view many nights in Canghai City.

But for some reason, Kevin felt a little unfamiliar with the scenery; it seemed like he hadn't seen it in a very, very long time.

"What's wrong with me today?" Kevin rubbed his head. "I'm probably just too tired. I should go home and rest early; I have to go to work tomorrow."

Kevin wanted to go back, but then he smelled a delicious aroma.

“…Let’s eat first.” Kevin walked helplessly in the opposite direction from home. He hadn’t eaten breakfast or dinner, only instant noodles for lunch, and he was already feeling very hungry.

Kevin strolled alone along the bustling, vibrant streets, randomly picked a barbecue restaurant, ordered some food, and sat down.

He was thinking about tomorrow's work. He had worked overtime for a long time today, and he thought tomorrow would be a little easier.

Just then, Kevin's phone rang, and Kevin, who had been somewhat tired from working overtime, visibly brightened up instantly.

Kevin answered the phone with great excitement.

“Kevin…”

However, Mei's voice sounded somewhat low on the phone.

"What's wrong?" Kevin asked anxiously.

A plate of fried noodles and a barbecue grill were placed in front of Kevin. When Kevin looked up, he saw a white-haired chef wearing a mask.

Kevin recognized the masked, white-haired chef because he happened to be another tenant in the villa where he lived.

The two nodded to each other, and Kevin then heard May speak after a moment of silence.

There's something I want to tell you.

Kevin tensed up immediately and started to have all sorts of wild thoughts, wondering if something bad had happened to his girlfriend.

"I'll have a week off, then we can pick a place to go."

"what"

Kevin didn't react at first.

"This, this isn't, isn't this a good thing?!" Kevin exclaimed excitedly.

"Just to make you happy," Mei said with a hint of a smile.

"A week from now, I should have time to go out and have fun with you." Kevin quickly calculated his approximate work schedule for the coming week. As long as there were no last-minute extra tasks, he would definitely have time to rest after a week.

"Have you been working too hard lately? Senior Hen told me about your recent situation; you're often working overtime until very late."

"I'm not tired. Everything's been great lately. I've only been working overtime for a few days."

"..." May could tell that Kevin didn't want to talk about his physical condition.

"Be sure to rest when you're tired."

"Okay, you should also take care of yourself and get some rest. Don't worry about me."

Kevin said with a smile.

"It's getting late, I'm going to rest now, you should rest early too."

Get some rest, see you in a week.

"Okay, goodbye."

"Goodbye"

Kevin put his phone down, a happy smile on his face.

After quickly finishing his late-night snack, Kevin returned to the villa. However, there were still not many people in the villa. Some of the tenants were students who needed to go to bed early, while others had to work later.

After returning to his room, Kevin started his pre-sleep exercise. He drank a glass of warm water before bed, turned off the lights, and lay down to rest. However, to avoid oversleeping the next morning, Kevin set several alarms.

However, after falling asleep, Kevin had another dream, and this time it was the same recurring dream: monsters, disasters, and many dead people.

The next day, Kevin opened his eyes to a series of alarm clocks, feeling utterly exhausted.

But realizing he still needed to go to work, he quickly checked his phone and thankfully, it wasn't time for work yet.

However, Kevin was so tired that he had no idea why he was so exhausted.

Kevin had to force himself to stay awake and quickly rinsed his head with cold water in the bathroom, which helped him regain some of his energy.

Looking at his own faintly visible dark circles and extremely tired expression in the mirror, Kevin washed his face again, which made him look a little better, but the feeling of fatigue still lingered.

Exhausted, Kevin arrived at the office almost right on time, much to the surprise of his colleagues. "What's wrong with Kevin? Did he work too hard last night?"

Back at his workstation, Kevin tried to pull himself together, but he felt like he was sleepwalking. He had only managed to complete his work that morning by relying entirely on muscle memory. When lunch break arrived, he didn't care about anything else and just lay down at his workstation to rest.

This made Kevin's colleagues curious as to what was wrong with him.

"What's wrong, Kevin? Did you break up with your girlfriend?"

"That's possible, but I heard that Kevin and his girlfriend were getting along really well; they didn't seem to be arguing at all."

"So Kevin was just too tired?"

"Um, maybe?"

After lunch break, Kevin woke up, but he was then called to the manager's office by the manager.

"Kevin, you haven't been doing well lately. Are you overworked?" the manager asked. "If you are, just let me know and take a few days to rest."

"No..." Kevin wanted to say he wasn't tired, but realizing how exhausted he was that morning, he scratched his head. "A week later, I plan to rest for a few days then."

"Oh? Is your girlfriend coming to see you?" the manager suddenly asked with a curious smile.

The manager was aware of Kevin's relationship with his girlfriend, as the girl named Mei would often visit Kevin whenever she had free time.

"Hmm," Kevin blushed slightly, but quickly regained his composure.

"In that case, you should get some rest early tonight and not work too late."

"it is good"

"go"

Kevin returned to his workstation. Faced with his colleagues' curiosity and inquiries, he simply smiled and didn't say much, secretly looking forward to seeing Mei again a week later.

Can I... hold Mei again?

For some reason, Kevin suddenly had this strange thought.

Chapter 314 Morning (2)

At dawn, the sky turned a pale white, gradually tinged with a soft orange-red, like paint lightly splashed by a painter. Sunlight filtered through the thin gauze curtains, gently streaming into the girl's room.

Several delicate pink crystal flowers sat on the windowsill, their emerald green leaves still adorned with glistening dewdrops that shimmered in the morning light. A string of wind chimes hung by the window, their clear tinkling sounds like the whispers of dawn as a gentle breeze blew through them.

The girl slightly opened her eyes at the sound of an alarm clock. Her clear, azure eyes were like a still lake, deep and pure, as if they could reflect the beauty of the whole world.

The girl opened her eyes and blinked, then got up from the pink bed, revealing her voluptuous and perfect figure. She saw the bright and warm sunlight outside the window, and a bright and pure smile appeared on her face.

"It's another new day!"

Her name is Alicia, and she is a very kind and lovely young girl.

"Oh, right, is today the first day of school?"

Suddenly remembering something, the girl quickly took off her pajamas and began to change her clothes.

When she opened the pink door and stepped out of her room, she was already wearing a beautiful red school uniform. The cut of the uniform was just right, perfectly outlining her figure. Her elegant collarbone looked even more delicate against the backdrop of the uniform. Her long pink hair was gently tied up and adorned with a beautiful crystal flower hair accessory, which complemented the bow on her uniform and added a touch of elegance.

The girl's smile was as warm as a spring breeze, and her eyes as bright as autumn water. In the sunlight, she was like a dazzling pearl, or an elf who had stepped out of a fairy tale.

"Ok?"

Looking around her home, Alicia blinked, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Although the house wasn't big, it was decorated very warmly. But where was his younger sister? Was she still asleep?

Alicia looked at the blue door on the other side of her room; this was her sister's room.

"Is she still not awake?" Alicia walked over with some doubt and opened her sister's door.

The dimly lit room had many clothes piled up among suitcases on the floor. Although the room wasn't dirty, it looked somewhat messy.

Compared to the bright pink feel of Alicia's room, her sister's room has blue-purple walls, and the curtains completely block out the sunlight, making the room look very dark.

"Snapped"

Alicia reluctantly turned on the room lights, which instantly illuminated everything in the room.

On the bed in the room, the blankets were gently rising and falling.

The other girl under the blanket seemed to notice the room light coming on. She stretched out her arm, her slender white fingers twitching, trying to turn off the bedside light switch.

"My dear sister, what time is it? Why are you still sleeping?"

Alicia walked to the bedside, sat down, and lifted the blanket.

A beautiful face that looked exactly like her appeared before Alicia's eyes. Except for her blue-purple hair, she was almost identical to Alicia in every other way, and even her figure was a voluptuous and perfect one.

The girl was Alicia's younger sister, and her name was similar to her sister's; she was named Alicia.

The sudden bright light made the girl on the bed feel a little uncomfortable, and she frowned slightly.

"woo"

The girl on the bed let out a cute whimper, then slowly opened her orange-red eyes.

"Time to get up, it's the first day of school, it won't be good if you're late." Alicia reached out and rubbed her younger sister's cute little face.

"Um, I... I've asked for leave."

"Hey?"

Alicia stopped what she was doing and looked at her sister with a puzzled expression.

"I have the approval of the student council; as a freshman representative, I have this authority."

The sleepy girl in bed groggily turned on her blue phone and handed it to her older sister.

Alicia saw the student council's approval document on her phone. It was quite formal, allowing Alicia, as the freshman representative, to request leave during the opening ceremony.

But something's not right.
