Wang Yi wakes up in the ruins of a post-nuclear-war world and finds himself bound to a cheat called the "Comeback Points System." He thinks he's the chosen one, a player here to rise to the top in the apocalypse. Until he enters GTI's ultimate legacy, Zero Dam. Until his teammates die one after another. Until the voice claiming to be the System coldly reveals the truth about the world: This isn't a game, but a "civilization screening ground" for higher-dimensional beings. He's not a player, just a "variable" implanted with memories for observation. The so-called System is nothing but a tool for recording data.
And now, the testing ground is on the verge of collapse because of a rift in reality called "Iteration-17." A mad successor plans to unleash "The Flood" and cleanse the world, while the higher-dimensional observers prepare to "format" everything.
With the final choice in his hands, Wang Yi faces his teammates' real blood and tears and the cold, empty truth revealed by the System. He smiles.
To hell with the testing ground. To hell with the data.
If this is a script, I'll tear it up. If I'm a variable, I'll become the biggest one of all.
With my broken body, I shall become a raging flame. With this true heart, I shall forge an anchor point.
This is the story of a "variable" who rejects fate and writes the final ending for every "real" struggle on a stage destined for destruction.
