After transmigrating into a cyberpunk world as a disposable nobody, Lin Feng finds himself in hell from the start.
Here, corporations are gods, and contracts are law. Emotions are bugs; scars are useless code.
And he is a discarded hacker riddled with “bugs.”
The System keeps him alive, while the gods want him tamed.
Until he discovers that his painful memories and shattered emotions, the scars dismissed as “useless data,” can compile into [Compassionate Dust]: something capable of overturning every rule.
He becomes the strangest hacker in history:
Using “sorrow” to bypass firewalls, “rage” to overclock processors, and “memories” to infect AI.
Others steal data. He steals “meaning.”
He gathers a band of misfits:
A cybernetic girl who throws punches for the dead;
An icy researcher searching for loopholes in absolute order;
A mad engineer who treats chaos theory as a religion;
A stubborn craftsman who believes the earth has a soul…
The corporations see them as viruses. The gods classify them as anomalies.
And they decide to carve a deep scar into this flawless, frigid world!
What we build is not a shelter, but a [Hearthfire Bulwark].
What we ignite is not an engine, but a [Seed of Defiance].
What we hack is not a system, but “existence” itself, as defined by the gods!
But in the end, we have to ask:
When mortals take their chisels to the gods, will what they leave behind be the dawn of civilization…
or a legacy of rust that future generations can never repay?
