In 2077, the future of mankind is no longer defined by territory and resources, but by a shared neural network space called the "Ethereal Realm". Giant technology companies are engaged in a silent war by manipulating finance, public opinion and even memory through the "spiritual realm".
Ling Chen was once a legendary pioneer codenamed "K" in the "Spiritual Realm" and one of the original builders of its underlying architecture. Five years ago, in a "Singularity Betrayal" incident that overturned the entire technological world, he was betrayed by his most trusted partner, and his consciousness was trapped in the wild data area of the "Spiritual Realm", declaring "brain death."
Five years later, an ordinary young man who rented the lowest-level "spiritual realm" access warehouse woke up in an unexpected data storm. He is no longer the legendary "K" who has everything to do with everything, but Ling Chen who has nothing.
The world has changed. His former partner established the unparalleled "Giant Technology" and turned the "spiritual realm" into a gorgeous cage to imprison thoughts; but the technology he created with his own hands became a tool to squeeze human beings.
Fragments of memory burned in his mind, and the mark of betrayal penetrated deep into his bones. Ling Chen re-entered this familiar yet unfamiliar world with his unparalleled understanding of the "spiritual realm" and technical knowledge that transcended his time.
This time, he's no longer a trailblazer.
He is the corrector, the avenger, and the only one - the neural master.
He will tear off the hypocritical masks of the giants, regain everything that belongs to him on the battlefield of consciousness, and reveal the ultimate secret about the direction of human evolution behind that betrayal.
