Lin Chen, a 28-year-old Internet operator, was laid off at a low point in his life. His mother was diagnosed with a brain tumor and needed 300,000 yuan for surgery, and he was also burdened with a huge mortgage loan. In despair, he downloaded a game called "Era of Ruins" and accidentally awakened his "resource planning" talent.
He soon discovered that the abilities in the game would have a negative impact on reality: the strategic thinking in the game allowed him to accurately plan his finances in reality; the resource management ability in the game allowed him to use every penny wisely; and the teamwork experience in the game made him a duck to water in the workplace.
What's even more amazing is that he synthesized the legendary card [Time and Space Regression], which aroused the covetousness of the mysterious organization "Shadow Society". The Shadow will secretly monitor all awakened people, trying to manipulate the real world by controlling them.
Lin Chen refused to give in. He joined forces with Qingyang, a player who also awakened, to form the "Dawn Guild" and began to rise both in the game and in reality. In reality, he sells his house to raise money for surgery, uses strategic thinking to make big money, and counterattacks in the workplace. In the game, he clears dungeons, defeats the strong with the weak, kills wanted criminals in the shadow society, and keeps getting stronger.
As his strength continues to increase, Lin Chen gradually discovers a shocking secret: "Era of Ruins" is not an ordinary game, but a portal to another dimension, and the ultimate goal of the Shadow Society is to use the Awakened to open this door and let the shadows descend into the real world.
In order to stop the conspiracy of the Shadow Society, Lin Chen must reach the top in both the game and reality - becoming the master of the business empire in reality, becoming the king of dawn in the game, and ultimately, using his power to protect both worlds.
