In 2242, a digital virus called "Gaia's Bite" accidentally merged with biological weapons to create an unprecedented "data walker". Not only do they retain some of their memories and combat skills during their lifetimes, but they can also share information through an invisible network, becoming increasingly smarter and more deadly.
Ling Ye, a former top hacker and prosthetic transformation engineer of the secret operations team, lost everything in the chaos at the beginning of the disaster. Now, he wanders the ruins as a lone traveler, and his only reason to live is to find the legendary "source of creation" that can restart everything and end this nightmare - a piece of root code hidden in a corner of the world. With a special neural interface implanted in his body, he is able to talk directly to machines, making him the only hope against this technological plague. This is a lonely war, for revenge, but also to find a dawn that has been extinguished long ago.
