When Lin Feng, an orphan from a welfare home, picked up a USB flash drive engraved with starburst patterns in a demolition area, he thought it was just another piece of junk that could be exchanged for food money. Little did he know that this USB flash drive would drag him into the world's most popular holographic competitive game and activate the mysterious "Starlight Protocol".
In reality, he is a "lone wolf" who makes a living by picking up scraps, and is forced into a desperate situation by the rent. In the game, the battle memory he inherited allows him to explode with amazing combat power in the hail of bullets, with real and bone-chilling pain, game currency that can be exchanged for cash, and a team of players chasing him, completely tearing the boundary between virtuality and reality.
Is the star pattern looming on the neck a curse or a gift? What secret is hidden in the "code will be remembered" left by the missing programmer? When the rule of survival changes from "early search, strike and retreat" to "virtual fight for your life", Lin Feng must fight his way through the holographic ruins - because in this game, losing may mean real death.
