When the game is no longer a game, do you dare to wake up?
In 2030, the holographic online game "Second World" became popular all over the world.
Lu Chenfeng, an unemployed former game tester, entered the game using an obsolete version of the landing pod. An equipment failure caused his consciousness synchronization rate to exceed the critical value, accidentally activating the hidden profession [Destined One] - he can see hidden tasks, perceive cracks in the rules, and even touch the "truth" of this world.
While others were clearing dungeons, buying equipment, and competing for server hegemony, he discovered that the last clue from before his parents disappeared three years ago pointed to the ruins of the ancient gods deep in the game.
A broken pendant.
Seven scattered fragments of the ancient god.
A half-collapsed rune tower.
A mysterious NPC who calls himself "Night Watcher".
As the investigation deepened, he gradually realized that "The Second World" was more than just a game. It is the refuge of ancient civilizations, the origin of Earth's immigrants, and the ultimate power that some seek to control.
And he can see the truth because——
He is the third gatekeeper.
The first two are his parents.
Form teammates, build a mercenary group, compete for the first kill, and capture fragments. From a lone wolf player to a powerful force, from game hegemony to real-life crisis, Lu Chenfeng discovered that this game is not just about the account -
It is the survival of two worlds.
