In the shadows of modern cities, there are strange cracks that swallow up reality. Once involved, only by following the rules can you have a chance of survival - but the rules themselves are the biggest lie.
Shen Yuan activated the rule analyzer in the death loop in the midnight apartment, and those contradictory and vague provisions turned into clear logical chains and hidden costs in his mind. But he soon discovered that while analyzing the rules, indescribable whispers were eroding his sanity, and high-level abnormal gazes followed him everywhere.
From the wraiths of children in the welfare home to the aberrations in the research institute, from the power struggle of the player organization to the secret lair of the administrator, every attempt to survive is a triple game with rules, human nature, and cosmic terror. He followed the clues of the fragments of rules and came across the essence of the strange story - a screening experiment across dimensions and an impending cosmic catastrophe.
His spirit was repeatedly pulled on the edge of collapse, and his partners betrayed or sacrificed. Shen Yuan held the upgraded analyzer and faced the ultimate existence behind the altar of rules.
Is it to become a fire that carries terror, or to tear apart all the shackles of rules? This adventure about survival, truth and freedom has just begun...
