Completely paralyzed, with only his brain still functioning. Is that utter despair? No. It's Chen Shi's only ticket into the "World Gate Game"! A mysterious chip is implanted in his ruined body, and his consciousness plunges into a deadly abyss. Here, points are oxygen, a protective charm, and the only currency that can restore sensation to his limbs! Win, and he can exchange points for bodily functions, moving closer to recovery. Lose, and points are deducted. Hit zero, and he is erased!
Yet when Chen Shi claws his way back from the depths of a negative score, he discovers that his most trusted younger sister, Chen Lin, has become an anomalous target in the game's core program, "Cognitive Reconstruction," designated C.L.! The hospital room is under surveillance, players harbor ulterior motives, and allies may betray him at any moment. Caught between the deadly forces of reality and the game, he is both a "Zero-er" fighting to survive and his sister's last line of defense.
He uses his broken body as a chess piece and his will as a blade. In this deadly maze woven from lies and betrayal, can Chen Shi earn enough points to repair himself? Can he expose the shocking conspiracy behind the "World Gate" and reclaim his sister's lost consciousness from the cold torrent of data and the merciless rules? This is the ultimate battle for survival, where life and death are wagered with the mind and the future is bought with points!
