At Tomson Riviera, the most luxurious residence in Shanghai, 23-year-old heir Lin Yu is caught up in the fever of late-night gaming. His top-of-the-line equipment, worth hundreds of thousands, roars as he controls a character in League of Legends, fighting with total abandon like an internet-addicted teenager trapped in a virtual world. Just as he focuses on the game and shouts, "Take him down!"
Sizzle!
The dazzling screen flashes violently, then plunges into complete, deathly darkness.
Lin Yu's breath catches, his pupils widening in terror. A figure appears clearly in the cold darkness: it is unmistakably his own face! Yet it is no reflection in a mirror. The person on the screen wears black armor with severe lines and a dark metallic sheen, like a super-soldier who has transmigrated from a battlefield of the future, radiating unknown power and lethal menace.
As the boundary between reality and illusion is torn apart, and the "self" in the mirror appears clad in armor from an unknown time and place, Lin Yu's luxurious world is turned upside down. And so the story begins.
