The world-famous 100% immersive virtual reality game "Dream Online" has been grandly launched. Countless players have flocked in, eager to write legends in Second Life.
However, opening the server is the beginning of the nightmare.
When players are ecstatically plunged into this perfect world, an invisible force quietly erodes their consciousness. Killing, upgrading, plundering - pure madness has replaced reason, and hundreds of thousands of players have become walking zombies who only chase virtual glory.
He was the only alien in this carnival.
Lin Feng, a former neuromedical researcher who is immune to mind control due to his special brain structure, has become the only conscious prisoner in this huge cage. He watched helplessly as his former friends turned into monsters who only knew how to fight. The logout button dimmed and failed, and the distress signal disappeared. Under the gorgeous game world, there is a shocking conspiracy that attempts to permanently imprison human consciousness.
Survival is no longer an instinct, but a mission.
When everyone is obsessed with the false goals set by the system, Lin Feng must use this only "talent" to walk hard on the edge of madness. He pursues the weird mission clues left in the system loopholes, gets acquainted with companions who are not completely controlled, and must be wary of those "rulers" who have established a barbaric order in the virtual world.
From the dark forest to the magnificent temple, from the data abyss to the server core... He must solve the puzzle, wake up the sleeper, find the terrifying machine that devours thoughts, and completely destroy it before the mastermind behind it completely completes the imprisonment of consciousness.
This is a lonely war.
