When virtuality becomes the cage of reality, consciousness becomes the fuel of experiments. Fantasy Technology, its epoch-making neural immersion system DNII, turns the virtual world "Illusion" into a divine ladder of human evolution. Players are immersed in it, chasing power, glory and rebirth. However, the truth is an elaborate lie. "Players" are nothing more than experimental subjects; "Neural Storm" is a slaughterhouse where consciousness is vivisected.
Xu Ye (Yehen), the DNI interface on the back of his neck is like a red-hot stinger, enduring double torture between the real life-sustaining tank and the virtual hell. The fake stability rate is a countdown to his near death. Shi Lei (Rock Barrier), the pulsating blue thorn brand on his neck, is a symbiosis of violent power and destructive pain, and the obsession to protect is burning on the edge of losing control. For Su Jin (Crimson Melody), her pure singing voice was once a source of comfort, but now it has become a source of forbidden resonance. The light of the pendant around her neck is the last beacon of her soul.
When the "Quicksand" organization tore apart the hypocritical announcements of the illusion world and made the bloody experimental evidence public, the spark of resistance was ignited in the cold steel barrier. Three destined people, labeled "0729", are trapped in the neurotransformation core of the Forbidden Research Institute under the Antarctic ice cap. They must break free from the incineration of the "Prometheus Fire", and before their consciousness is completely formatted, use thorns, songs and data debris as weapons to launch a desperate counterattack against the cold gods who control everything, shaking the foundations of virtuality and reality.
Can consciousness break free of its chains? Can the thorns burn away the gods? This is the last tragic song of the old humanity, and it is also the bloody dawn on the dark eve of the new era.
