The Quantum Thief Who Awoke in the Dark of Night

In 2047, the world is under the absolute surveillance of a quantum encryption system. Qin Mo, once a top-tier hacker, awakens to the ability to manipulate quantum probabilities after an accident. Any firewall he faces has a 1% chance of collapsing. But when he uses this power to steal the secrets of the three major conglomerates, he triggers an alarm system left behind by an ancient civilization.

"Self-destruct sequence begins in thirty seconds." Qin Mo stares at the blood-red countdown on the holographic screen. His quantum vision suddenly detects an anomalous string of code hidden in the data stream. It is the digital signature of the person who killed his sister five years ago! Meanwhile, the top-ranked hitman on the dark web, "Cleaner," has locked onto his coordinates. The plasma beam gathering at their gun barrel is powerful enough to vaporize an entire city block.

Just as the deadly beam fires, Qin Mo's ability suddenly runs wild. The probability surges from 1% to 100%, and the quantum network across New Modu crashes in a storm of purple arcs. Floating amid the torrents of data, he suddenly hears his sister's voice coming from imaginary space: "Brother, we've all been deceived. The real world is the virtual program..."
