Lin Zhou, a laid-back League of Legends player, unexpectedly transmigrates to a parallel world overrun by monsters and awakens a Rune Skill Selection System. Guided by his motto, "Staying alive is the way to win," he first chooses Thresh's passive, Damnation, collecting the souls of the dead to stack armor and ability power. Next, he picks Sion's W, Soul Furnace, relying on its shield to stay alive instead of taking enemies head-on. Then he acquires the legendary item Heartsteel, stacking health with each proc. Together, the three create a perfect survival loop.
Along the way, he meets a young woman named Ye Qingyu, and the two join forces to survive. As monsters attack again and again, Lin Zhou passively builds up terrifying strength. But as the crisis escalates, the mastermind behind it all gradually emerges: it is none other than the father Lin Zhou has never met. In the name of "saving the world," his father opened a rift in the runes and let the monsters run rampant, concealing a sorrowful secret.
When the laid-back young man is forced to shoulder the burden of protecting the world, a father-and-son showdown that will decide the world's fate is about to begin.
