World view: Terrarim - a demonic plane contaminated by the blood of the ancient gods and on the verge of collapse. There are no players here, just desperate natives and endless monsters.
The protagonist Lu Chen is the only "living system" and lord of this plane. He can see the earth's network and package the cruel reality of the other world into the holographic online game Era: Restart.
Core conflict: Lu Chen needs players to act as an "undead army" to clean up pollution and rebuild the territory; but players think this is just a super-hardcore VRMMO game that claims to be "100% real."
Cool design:
Information gap: The natives regard the players as indescribable terrifying monsters that are immortal, talkative, and behave strangely, while the players regard the natives as highly intelligent NPCs.
The Fourth Disaster: Players dare to challenge the ancient gods for a virtual achievement. This kind of madness is Lu Chen's biggest weapon
