Tian Hao, a genius programmer in the game division of a computer company, was working at full capacity on an intelligent game that implanted AI into NPCs when he suddenly collapsed at his desk from small-cell cancer. At the brink of life and death, his phone's AI assistant offered a way to preserve his memories and extend his life. After he entered a string of mysterious code, a fantastical System interface appeared. The System revealed a shocking truth: countless worlds were virtual constructs, and the one he inhabited was just one of billions of small worlds. He himself was an "infiltrator" chosen by the three thousand great worlds. As long as he agreed to travel between worlds and collect special items, he could escape the shackles of death. Without hesitation, Tian Hao became a traveler to other worlds, charged with a mission.
Upon entering a world resembling an ancient feudal dynasty, Tian Hao possessed the body of Fan Yu, a critically ill fifteen-year-old boy. Before Fan Yu's consciousness faded, the System promised to fulfill his long-cherished wish, "to make the Fan family proud of me," in exchange for gaining control of his body. From then on, carrying both the System's mission and Fan Yu's dying wish, Tian Hao began his path to a comeback. From a boy in Xizhuang to tangling with the bandits of the Huxiao stronghold, he must navigate a web of political intrigue and martial-world feuds. Not only must he complete his mission to collect items, but he must also rewrite Fan Yu's fate within the family. Thus begins an otherworldly legend of extending life, fulfilling a mission, and pursuing glory.
