Readers looking for fast-paced wish fulfillment, beware!!!
This is not about transmigrating through the heavens. It is an infinite war that collapses inward. The enemy is me. Redemption is an illusion. The real battle begins when you accept that “I am Hell.”
Wang Mingshuo binds himself to a “Parallel World Experience System.” Every regret in life can be revisited: apologizing to a lover he never made amends with, throwing a vengeful punch at a bully... The System promises that this is merely an “observation experiment” with no cost.
Until one rainy night, another “Wang Mingshuo” invades his world: a madman from a parallel timeline formed from all possible despair. He spends three days playing the “perfect son,” then cruelly murders Wang Mingshuo’s parents right in front of him.
Reality falls apart from that moment on.
His parents are both dead, and he is falsely accused of murdering them and sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve.
Breaking out of prison, fleeing, and plunging into the scam hell of northern Myanmar... Wang Mingshuo risks his life in countless battles to uncover the truth: to end this nightmare, he must kill the most deranged and powerful version of himself in every parallel world and seize the System fragments.
This is a deconstruction of the “self.” When countless possible versions of yourself become enemies or friends, what kind of person will the different choices along life’s path make you?
[Parallel worlds, soul transmigration to another realm, reflections on human nature, unity of knowledge and action]
(The early pacing is relatively slow, but twists and reflections on human nature run throughout. We are not at war with the world. The enemy we must overcome has always been ourselves.)
