Synopsis

After being hunted by an indescribable entity, Siyuan finds himself trapped in a Three Kingdoms game.

Here, the iron and blood are real, as are the starving corpses and scattered bones. He has become a lonely spirit, and his only option is to possess a body on the battlefield that has just gone cold.

A fleeing soldier, a county militiaman, an nameless junior officer, a bandit, even a hen about to become someone’s dinner... He “comes back to life” from the humblest speck of dust, struggling through the gaps between famine, plague, and the blades of war. Famous generals shine like stars, but are far beyond his reach; history surges like a flood, while he is no more than a mayfly swept along by the current. Through countless eyes, he watches the human world: the numbness in the eyes of a woman forced to eat her own child, a veteran’s final roar before his broken blade, the glitter of knives beneath the banquets of the powerful clans.

He thinks this may be a real Three Kingdoms era, so he cautiously feels his way forward, searching for the truth.

Until he sees “immortals” ascending to the heavens in broad daylight, strange beasts speaking human words, Xiang Yu resurrected, and the truth behind Wang Mang’s downfall...

This place is both purgatory and his arena of slaughter.

As the iron hooves of war trample thousands of miles of bones, as an immortal’s sleeve brushes against mortal fate, as the shadows of strange beasts engulf cities... He treads a path paved with countless “deaths,” going against the current from the lower reaches of history’s river.

At last, he reaches the end of the game called “Empire and Glory,” parts every veil, and glimpses the most horrifying truth at the heart of this bizarre world:

It turns out this place was never the starting point, nor the end.

What they call reality may be nothing more than another... “game” in a higher dimension.

And all he wants, amid these endless cycles of reincarnation, is to ask:

“Who am I? And what is the world?”

Note: This is a long, slow-burn novel with no System.
