When a string of code that should never have existed infiltrates a server, programmer Chen Mo's entire world begins to collapse, quite literally.
The laws of physics fail, the fabric of reality unravels, and an unknown entity binds him as an “anchor of reality.” He alone can see the code surging beneath all things, and he alone can barely repair the space constantly crumbling around him.
But every repair comes at the cost of his own life force.
As he struggles to survive, he discovers that this is only the beginning. In 71 hours, the first “wave of correction” will arrive, erasing every unstable “error,” including human civilization.
And he, a programmer with no strength to defend himself, has become the only patch holding all of reality together.
If the code he writes can rewrite reality, is he a savior? Or is he merely a variable about to be overwritten in the eyes of some higher being...?
