A sudden "rules survival game" threw 100,000 people randomly selected from around the world into an unknown space. A cold rules interface appeared on everyone's retina. Following the rules earns you survival points, while breaking them results in punishment - ranging from mild pain to outright obliteration. The protagonist Lin Chen, an ordinary bookstore clerk, witnessed the people around him being reduced to ashes for violating the rule of "no running in the initial area" the moment the game started. With his calm observation and sensitivity to details, he gradually discovered that in the process of constantly exploring the rules, cracking traps, and dealing with other participants, there were huge secrets related to the survival of human civilization hidden behind the game, and the real rules of survival may have been written in the gaps of human nature.
