Lin Xia originally lived an ordinary life day after day. However, a series of abnormal events gradually broke this peace. First, he saw Uncle Wang downstairs suddenly freeze, like a stiff sculpture; then he discovered that his mother would repeat chopping movements while cooking, and that the company's interns would suddenly have empty eyes and recite meaningless syllables, and some could even walk through closed doors. These anomalies made Lin Xia begin to doubt the authenticity of this world.
Until one day, when it rained heavily in the city, Lin Xia experienced a complete stillness. He found that everything around him slowed down. Some people would fall into a brief stagnation or make illogical actions, and then return to normal. At this time, he met Jiang Che, a man wearing a black hoodie. Jiang Che told him that everyone in this world is NPC with preset behavioral logic. Occasionally, higher-dimensional "players" will take over the bodies of these NPCs to complete tasks, and Lin Xia is one of the few "awakened ones" who can sense system abnormalities.
Lin Xia follows Jiang Che and begins to deeply understand the truth of this world. He will face more unknown challenges and dangers, and gradually uncover the huge secrets hidden behind this puppet world.
