A Shut-In's Cheat-Powered Comeback to Crush the Universe

When a shut-in sealed away by both games and reality accidentally triggers the switch of fate, the world begins to twist, burn, and shatter. He only wanted to live quietly in the world of anime, but fate pushes him onto an absurd path of devouring the powerful and crushing the universe.

Chen Xuan was once the most insignificant person in Hailan City, like a speck of dust drifting amid neon lights and clamor. Then, one night, deep inside an abandoned factory, a blue-violet energy crystal tore apart his ordinary life. From that moment on, his palms began absorbing other people's power, like a black hole swallowing starlight. But this power was as wild as a raging blaze, and the slightest mistake could burn him to ashes.

Trouble came one after another: enemies lunged from the shadows, his superpowers spiraled out of control and turned against him, and his sworn rival, Zhou Yu, kept closing in. He fell into the abyss again and again, yet always managed to tear open a path in the depths of despair. Invisibility and fire combined into deadly attacks, mind reading let him break through traps unseen, and the power of time and space reversed the boundary between life and death. Every transformation came with excruciating pain, like metal tempered in flames, while ruthlessness and quick thinking took root within him.

He was once a shadow hiding in a corner. Now he's the light illuminating the whole city. But he understands that the brighter a flame burns, the faster it dies.

When every rule has been broken, can humanity still hold on to its bottom line? Or are true heroes not born strong, but defined by their ability to rise again from destruction?

A thrilling urban legend is about to begin.
