On the evening he loses his job, ordinary programmer Song Yu unexpectedly awakens the mysterious Origin System and becomes bound to the ancient divine artifact, the Demon-Refining Pot. He soon discovers that the real world is being terrifyingly eroded by the hit full-dive online game Origin. Strange black cracks are spreading, visible only to him, while monsters from the virtual world are breaking through the boundary into reality.
Song Yu is forced to venture deep into the perilous world of Origin. He must not only survive in a corrupted and distorted novice village, but also track down the Demon-Refining Pot's physical form to stabilize the space-time structure on the brink of collapse. Along the way, he meets the Night Watchers, a secret organization that guards the boundary between reality and illusion. With the Pot's unique ability to "contain all things, analyze them, and reconstruct them," he rapidly grows stronger through one deadly mission after another, confronting higher-dimensional anomalies and the erosion of reality's rules.
