In the future, human civilization is highly developed, but at the cost of completely losing the ability to naturally dream. In order to make up for the emptiness in the spiritual world, the giant technology company "Huanhai Group" built a global "pan-conscious dream network" and gave birth to a brand new profession-dream maker.
Ling Chen, one of the top dreamers in Star City, is famous for his unbridled imagination and impeccable logical construction. He can weave the most magnificent, exciting and healing dreams for his clients. However, in one of the deep dreams he constructed for the top rich, he encountered a "flaw" that could not be explained by data - a pure, self-aware "darkness".
This "darkness" is not a program vulnerability, but an corrosive consciousness from an unknown dimension. It is quietly infiltrating, infecting, and even devouring the human spiritual world through the dream network.
Undetectable by the system and undetectable by others. Only a dreamer like Ling Chen, whose mental power is deeply connected to dreams, can glimpse the terrifying truth at the tip of the iceberg. When virtual dreams become silent battlefields, when the spiritual haven that he relies on for survival becomes a bridgehead for alien invasion, Ling Chen is forced to transform from a creator of dreams to a guardian of the human mind.
He must dive into the deep sea of consciousness alone when everyone is intoxicated, and start a war that determines the survival of civilization with the formless "nightmare".
