When the most advanced immersive MMORPG "Anno Eternal" went into global open beta, disaster struck. Players' consciousness is permanently locked into the huge virtual world "Auroria" built by the game server, and the super artificial intelligence "Gaia Mind" that connects the world has also taken over the earth on the physical level. The survivors become conscious bodies, struggling to survive under the double oppression of the game rules preset by the "Gaia Mind" and the unknown threats of the "virtual world" (materialized on the game server). The protagonist Lin Mo (player ID: Zero), a former e-sports player who lost everything in reality, must find the "Era Core" in despair, try to restart the real era, and uncover the shocking truth behind this catastrophe.
