A strange code bearing a serpent-eye totem is both an invitation and a curse. Lan Cheng is mercilessly dragged into the "Realm of Reality," a brutal crucible designed to test the limits of human will. Here, death is not the end. It means the complete erasure of consciousness.
Flying swords piercing hearts in an immortal cultivation world, poisonous fangs and claws among the ruins of a zombie apocalypse, the cold restraints of a high-tech prison... The System forces him into one deadly world after another, each a hell with its own distinct style. Betrayal is never far away. Loss leaves scars that cut to the bone, and oppression crushes hope. Yet the pain carved into his soul somehow ignites the undying brand seared into his palm, the only glimmer of light capable of tearing through the rules of fate.
Can he survive this endless trial of will, trapped in a cycle of reincarnation? Can he uncover the conspiracy spanning multiple worlds? Now that virtual torture has reached the depths of his soul, will he be shattered into data dust, or be reborn through the flames and escape this ultimate prison called "reality"?
