“When games become reality, every time you die, someone is trading away a piece of your life.” Food delivery rider Chen Mo enters the game “Firmament” to save his younger sister and unexpectedly awakens the SSS-rank talent “Fate Defier,” only to discover that he is being written into a death program spanning two worlds. His left hand faces a data plague from the game devouring reality: monsters he kills revive in supermarket produce sections, while NPCs wearing his neighbors’ faces issue assassination quests. His right hand faces the collapse of his quantumized body in the real world: every use of his talent causes golden code to multiply beneath his skin until his heartbeat synchronizes with the server. When the Black Umbrella Group’s “causality bullets” pierce his sister’s electronic eye, and NPCs in the game’s main city begin trading time sand using his father’s employee ID number, Chen Mo finally sees the truth: The supposedly worldwide virtual celebration is merely a sequel to the “Great Blackout” three years ago. And every time he rewinds time, he is feeding the mastermind’s quantum bait, labeled “human civilization.”
