When the world's first neurally connected holographic game "Origin" claimed to "experience another kind of life," former e-sports strategy analyst Lu Chen only regarded it as a tool to earn rent. This frustrated person who was banned for life due to the "cheating" scandal accidentally unlocked the hidden career "Tracer" with only 1 point in all attributes when randomly assigning professions - a special existence that requires the analysis of "legacy data" to unlock skills.
At first, he was just running to complete the novice mission, but he discovered strange things in the abandoned data area: the real-life street names popped out of the NPC's mouth, the "data fragments" in the game could repair the real neural equipment, and even the "data coins" for killing monsters appeared in the wallet out of thin air. As he goes deeper, Lu Chen gradually tears apart the disguise of "Origin" - it is not a game at all, but a crazy experimental site of Chen Jingming, the founder of Star Core Technology: collecting human consciousness through a brain-computer interface and injecting unknown alien data, in an attempt to collectively migrate human consciousness to the game and create an "eternal container" before real resources are exhausted.
Mechanic Lin Xi's warning, the unusual experience of his former teammate Zhao Ye, and the secret betrayal of Chen Jingming's daughter Chen Xi pushed Lu Chen into the center of the storm. When the boundary between games and reality completely collapsed, Binhai City became a battlefield of "half virtual and half real", game monsters appeared on the streets, and human consciousness was forcibly sucked into "Origin". Lu Chen had to shoulder the responsibility: use the ability of "tracerrator" to analyze the truth of the world, unite all forces to fight against the army of consciousness, and find a way to reconstruct the boundary between reality and reality amidst the roar of "data ghosts" and the illusion of "memory maze".
