For two interminable months, Lu Chuang's every thought was consumed by a single desire: escape.

Having seen the movie, Lu Chuang possessed an unsettling knowledge of the institute's sinister true nature. It was a place that masqueraded as a sanctuary, luring its prey with the tantalizing promise of curing their afflictions. However, this was merely a facade to ensnare unwitting patients, transforming them into unwilling experimental subjects.

The enigmatic serum injected into Lu Chuang's veins upon his arrival was no ordinary elixir; it required the human body's adrenal hormone as a catalyst to awaken dormant mutant genes within DNA. These genes were extraordinary, endowing individuals with unimaginable abilities, and rendering them something more than human. They were known as "Mutants."

But for those unfortunate experimental subjects whose genes had successfully mutated, freedom remained an elusive dream. They were subjected to cruel subjugation through the use of collars designed to suppress their self-awareness, ultimately reducing them to obedient Mutant slaves. The research institute packaged them as commodities, ready to be auctioned off to the highest bidder.

In essence, this research institute operated as a malevolent factory, a nightmarish assembly line where human lives were commodified.

Days turned into endless nights as Lu Chuang relentlessly searched for an escape route within the confines of this wretched facility. 

Then, one fateful day, a stroke of serendipity occurred. It was an accidental activation of an interface within his mind, coupled with an accompanying achievement system.

The interface displayed a litany of titles, a majority of which were familiar to Lu Chuang. These titles all hailed from the universe of "Danganronpa," representing super high school-level talents—a realm where the epitome of excellence in various fields was crowned.

However, these titles remained tantalizingly grayed out, locked behind unspecified achievement criteria. In the world of "Danganronpa," super high school level talent signified unparalleled expertise, a level of mastery that surpassed all others in a given domain.

Lu Chuang's gaze finally rested upon the bottom of the panel, where a blazing red hue caught his eye.

[Dislike from Death God—Completed]

[Unlock condition: Complete fifteen near-death challenges (15/15)]

[Title awarded: Super High School Level Stuntman]

[Do you want to unlock the title?]

"Confirmed!" Without hesitation, Lu Chuang selected "yes."

[Unlocked successfully!]

[Title: Super High School Level Stuntman]

[Description: A stuntman capable of executing all perilous feats, despised by the Grim Reaper]

[Characteristic: Immortality]

The sheer brevity of the description stunned Lu Chuang. His heart raced as the implications of his newfound title sank in. He had stumbled upon a golden ticket—a talent that defied the very concept of mortality.

He grappled with the bewildering notion of why a stuntman would be characterized by immortality. Had he been granted this ability to endure the most perilous stunts?

As the realization washed over him, a warm surge coursed through Lu Chuang's veins, rapidly revitalizing his entire being.

First, his eyes, once plagued by myopia, cleared and sharpened.

Then, his long-neglected body, tormented by the rigors of confinement and experimentation, began to undergo a miraculous transformation. The latent afflictions that had plagued him for years, concealed within his very cells, were purged. A rejuvenating warmth enveloped him, akin to basking in the gentle rays of early winter sun.

In that transformative moment, Lu Chuang felt reborn. His gratitude for this newfound resilience overflowed, leading to an exultant roar of triumph.

"Unbelievable!"
