This is not a story about conquering a game. It is an epic of civilization struggling against desperation, undergoing rebirth, and rising anew.
To pay for his mother's treatment, university student Li Mo enters the phenomenal virtual reality game Myriad Realms. He only wants to make money, but begins as a minor lord on Qinglan Mountain and, through a twist of fate, meets his brother "Tietou," born by accident from complex code.
