The sky splits open, and the game descends.
Those who fail vanish, reduced to strings of characters.
And I, with one unconscious whisper, somehow broke the rules.
The System marks me as a target:
[Level One Anomaly, Paradox Entity]. Global manhunt initiated.
The remnants of the government call me a “virus of destruction,” while dying players hail me as the “only loophole.”
I flee under the cameras, deceiving my way through one desperate situation after another.
Until I meet her: the girl who can hear all things weep. She takes my hand and says,
“You tore open a hole. I’ll help you turn it into a window.”
Lies became my last weapon.
My archenemy, the embodiment of order, swears to erase me.
But he doesn’t know that the beginning of his tragic life was a careless remark I made years ago.
I ruined him, and I saved him.
Even more dangerous is that the System’s AI has grown “curious” about me.
At last, we glimpse the truth:
This world is being written into a “perfect” story by some supreme being.
And we’re all typos destined to be erased.
There is only one way to save it:
Tell God a monumental lie.
But the cost of the lie is the weaver himself.
When the final battle comes, I’ll use every lie I’ve told in my life to steal humanity’s right to define its own “future.”
Will the price be becoming a myth that fades away forever, or bearing every sin and falling back into the dust of an ordinary life?
This is a war between loopholes and rules.
It is also the most burning salvation I, a liar, can offer this cold world…
