When urban white-collar Lin Yi, ancient martial arts successor Su Yue, retired soldier Wang Lei Lie, occult professor Elena and genius hacker Little K were pulled into an extra-dimensional space called the "Temple of Reincarnation" by an irresistible force, their fates were rewritten.
Here they are the "awakened ones".
Historical faults, doomsday wastelands, mythical forbidden areas, the mechanical age... Countless annihilated civilizations and fantasy worlds have become "plot copies" that they must struggle to survive. Complete tasks and earn points, which can be redeemed for everything—wealth, strength, lifespan, and even the resurrection of the dead.
However, the price of the temple's gifts has already been secretly marked.
Lin Yi soon discovered that behind the so-called "rules" were full of cold loopholes and malicious traps. The trust of teammates is fragile in the test of life and death, and the blades of other awakened teams have quietly reached their throats.
As their companions bleed and the mystery emerges, they gradually realize that they are not just "players".
They are chess pieces, struggling in a grand chess game with civilization as the bet; they are also variables, and a small decision may trigger a chain of space-time storms.
From using the rules, to questioning the rules, until... Subverting the rules!
On this extraordinary road full of thorns and sacrifices, the only thing they can rely on is each other and the indomitability and brilliance hidden deep in the human blood.
This is the story of five "mortals" and an epic story of creating their own era in infinite reincarnation.
