The Hoarder’s Life in Another World [System]

Duan Lili was an ordinary young woman who spent her days lounging on a sofa, playing mobile games and eating snacks. Her parents had divorced when she was young, and she had lived in boarding schools since elementary school, developing a deep sense of insecurity that manifested as a hoarding tendency. After her parents provided her with money for college and hinted they did not want her to disturb their new families, she rented a small apartment and bought a floral fabric sofa. On a rainy summer day, while playing a game on her phone, a bolt of lightning struck the device. A translucent system interface appeared, announcing a critical collapse and initiating a space jump. Duan Lili was transported along with her sofa, her phone, and her snacks to an unknown continent with no intelligent life within a hundred kilometers.

Upon arrival, Duan Lili encountered a broken and unreliable system that entered hibernation for repairs. The system provided her with a basic survival kit, including wooden tools, coarse clothing, and food. Her initial stats were low, comparable to an ordinary human, but she quickly realized the system functioned like a game interface, offering attributes, inventory management, and two visual modes: a realistic game view and a cartoonish sandbox view. Her first challenge arose when a giant python emerged from the river and swallowed her. Duan Lili died from suffocation but respawned instantly on her sofa, discovering it served as an inviolable safe zone. The python could not breach the invisible barrier surrounding the sofa, allowing her to attack it from safety.

After a grueling battle that exhausted her stamina and broke multiple wooden tools, Duan Lili killed the serpent using a sharp stone in sandbox mode. The system rewarded her with meat, skin, and other materials, and she leveled up to Level 1, restoring her health and increasing her attributes. She then focused on resource gathering and crafting. Using the sandbox building mechanics, she constructed a large wooden house around her sofa, providing shelter and security. She also built a dry toilet away from her living space and the river to maintain hygiene. Throughout this process, she discovered that her personal inventory allowed time to stand still for stored items, preserving food freshness indefinitely.

As she settled into her new life, Duan Lili faced the ongoing challenges of survival in a hostile wilderness. She crafted torches for light, gathered dry grass for fuel, and hunted for food, though her lack of experience made hunting difficult. The presence of two moons in the sky confirmed she was far from Earth. With the system still in hibernation, she had to rely on her own growing skills and the automated functions of the broken cheat. Her primary goal shifted from merely surviving to establishing a stable base, managing resources efficiently, and preparing for future threats in a world where she was the only human for hundreds of miles.
