When the 5V5 battle becomes a real death game, the existence of the loser will be completely erased - not only their lives, but also all memories about them.
"The Forbidden City" is a thriller novel that combines suspense, horror and e-sports elements. Lin Ye, an ordinary college student, was dragged into the real game world with four unfamiliar teammates while playing solo queue for Honor of Kings late at night. Here, grass will swallow up life, wild monsters will cause real damage, and the most terrifying thing is - every time the game fails, a teammate will completely disappear from the real world, as if it never existed.
As rounds of cruel games progressed, Lin Ye and the survivors discovered that this "system" was eroding the boundaries of reality: game skills appeared in daily life, teammates who had disappeared called for help in the mirror, and everyone's memories were being silently tampered with. What's even more disturbing is that Lin Ye discovered that it was all related to his brother who disappeared three years ago...
In this game of life and death, failure means being forgotten by reality, and behind victory lies a terrifying conspiracy that can subvert the truth of the world. When there is no boundary between games and reality, who can tell whether he is a player or a chess piece?
