The old gods are dead, and the laws of the new era are cruel and strange: humans are reduced to ants, vegetation is towering, and the Zerg build an empire. Lin Che, a time traveler, is steeped in old world knowledge and wakes up in this world of flesh and blood and mechanical fantasy. He is not a savior, but a gamer. Conspired with ants, traded with crows, and even parasitized his own body with crazy knowledge. When the world-destroying "grey tide" comes again, he is willing to transform into a shimmer and become the only god and cornerstone of the new world.
