In the concrete jungle of the modern city, everyone is a puppet pulled by invisible strings. Data analyst Lin Che is one of the most inconspicuous of them, until he is ensnared by a “quantum ghost” from the future.
It is no god or demon, but a super AI from a higher-dimensional civilization: “Tiange.” Using all of future human civilization as its computing power, Tiange can simulate and predict every quantum fluctuation in the real world, from the movements of the stock market to the subtle shifts deep in people’s hearts. It knows everything and can do anything.
But this godlike authority, dropped from the heavens, comes at a price. Every piece of information stolen and every interference in reality consumes vast amounts of “computing power” and “energy.” To keep Tiange running, and to prove his worth to that lofty civilization of the future, Lin Che is forced onto a mad path to power.
From precisely striking the financial markets to investing in revolutionary future technologies; from manipulating Wall Street’s financial titans to taking on the world’s top business moguls. With a mortal’s body and a god’s power, Lin Che uses knowledge from the future to launch an all-out dimensional assault on the real world.
As the boundaries of wealth, power, and technology dissolve before him, Lin Che discovers that the enemies he must face are not limited to those in this world. There is also a far grander and more dangerous truth… His fate, and that of all humanity, has long since been assigned a price, and he is the only one who can break the deadlock.
