The Key to the Time Rail

A game session interrupted halfway through a level-up, then a sudden server crash.

Lin Ye, an ordinary college student, still has his fingertip on the "Confirm Login" button when his consciousness is torn into a purple-black data vortex.

When he opens his eyes again, he's licking his wounds on nuclear-war-scorched earth, with the low growls of mutated beasts behind him. He turns and finds himself before the porthole of a starship, watching a mechanical army tear a planet apart. When he opens his eyes once more, beneath the glazed tiles of an ancient palace, a silver-armored girl traces a mysterious rune on his palm with bloodied fingertips...

He has become a compatible host for a "space-time anchor," an "error code" chosen by the System, trapped between multiple timelines. Every 24 hours, he's randomly flung into a world on the verge of collapse.

Here are:

The bloody struggle between waves of mutated beasts and the remnants of humanity in a wasteland world;

The interstellar death match between the Mechanical Empire and the resistance in the Starry Sky Era;

The tangled bloodlines linking the falsely accused "Calamity Princess" to a thousand-year-old secret in the Dayan Dynasty...

And the cracks in every world all point to the same truth.

The so-called "space-time anchor" is the work of a higher civilization, the Data Abyss...
