A century from now, the surface will be a wasteland, and humanity will huddle in the aerial city of Dome City.
The city is sustained by the quantum network known as the Spirit Net, and the line between reality and virtuality has long since blurred.
Shen Yi is an orphan from the undercity. While working, he is kidnapped and left on the brink of death.
At the critical moment, he unexpectedly gains a golden finger.
He can preview fragments of the future in his mind and see the deadly traps at every turn.
By using it to correct his movements three times, he turns the tables on the gang's leader and takes his gun.
While others rely on luck to survive, he stays alive by simulating outcomes and planning ahead.
On the surface, he is taken in by a corporate conglomerate and used as a pawn. In secret, he coolly calculates the entire game.
The city's elite scheme against one another. The legislators are hypocrites, the conglomerates are greedy, and the strategists are devious.
He walks the razor's edge, using his wits to break through deadlocks and advance one careful step at a time.
A wandering girl named A Jin enters his world and becomes its only unpredictable variable.
Beneath the gleaming city lies nothing but corruption, and he intends to go from pawn to player.
One day, he will bring down the entire city that devours its people.
He will make every conspiracy vanish in his previews of the future.
