The Endgame Paradox: Prelude to Annihilation

On an ordinary commute, Lin Yan suddenly plunges into the Land of the End, a shattered realm suspended in a rift in space-time, where only endless cycles of deadly trials and the encroaching threat of annihilation await. When people awaken supernatural powers in their desperate circumstances and think they’ve found a shortcut to escape, Lin Yan notices something: the more fully their powers awaken, the faster the space collapses. This so-called “land where gods are made” is actually a trap that accelerates their destruction.

No System, no invincibility: only strategy and restraint can keep them alive. Lin Yan joins forces with three other survivors, each with their own weaknesses, and they struggle onward amid the paradox of “surviving,” “growing stronger,” and “resisting annihilation.” They unravel the rules of the trials, pursue the truth behind an experiment by a higher civilization, and fight against ambitious people whose minds have been consumed by power. As the Land of the End nears collapse, the price of escape is far beyond what they imagined. And in the shadows of the real world, the overture to annihilation has already begun to play.
