In the cyber city "New Victoria" soaked in neon and acid rain, Lin Zhou, a low-level data scavenger, was forced to be involved in a fatal deal in order to save his sister who suffered from a mysterious "information dissociation disorder". However, what he encountered was not wealth, but a surreal space that dragged his consciousness into endless reincarnation - the "asynchronous maze".
Here, the laws of physics are rewritten, memory becomes a weapon, and the only way to survive is the ability to analyze and reconstruct the data world. In order to find the truth, Lin Zhou must travel through bizarre "corridors", fight against mind-devouring "abnormal bodies", and deal with other "walkers" with different purposes.
He gradually discovered that this maze was not only the source of his sister's illness, but also a cage of consciousness imprisoning countless lost souls, which pointed directly to the darkest secret of the "omniscient core" of the super-corporation that covers the sky with one hand.
When the boundary between reality and illusion blurs, when the definition of human nature is shaken by technology, Lin Zhou will fight as a mortal against the gods who control the data dimension, vowing to regain the right to choose the future for his sister and all the forgotten people in the abyss of code.
