When Lin Yi, an urban office worker; Su Yue, an heir to ancient martial arts; Lei Lie, a retired soldier; Professor Elena, an expert in the occult; and the genius hacker Xiao K are dragged by an irresistible force into a higher-dimensional space called the “Reincarnation Temple,” their fates are rewritten forever.
Here, they are “Awakened.”
Historical ruptures, apocalyptic wastelands, forbidden mythic zones, mechanical eras... Countless vanished civilizations and fantastical worlds become “story instances” in which they must struggle to survive. Complete missions and earn points, and you can exchange them for anything: wealth, power, years of life, even the resurrection of the dead.
But the Temple’s gifts have long had a price, marked in secret.
Lin Yi soon discovers that behind the so-called “rules” lie cold loopholes and malicious traps. Trust between teammates proves fragile in trials of life and death, while the blades of other Awakened teams are already creeping toward their throats.
As their companions fall in blood and mysteries come to light, they gradually realize they are not mere “players.”
They are pawns, struggling in a vast game with civilization itself at stake. They are also variables, whose smallest choices could unleash chain reactions across time and space.
From exploiting the rules, to questioning them, and finally... overthrowing them!
On this extraordinary path, lined with thorns and sacrifice, the only things they can rely on are one another, and the defiance and brilliance buried deep in humanity’s blood.
This is the story of five “ordinary people,” and an epic about forging their own era with their own hands amid endless cycles of reincarnation.
