On March 7, 2026, a mysterious blue light enveloped ten billion people around the globe, transporting them all into the "Endgame": countless S-rank deserted-island instances. Every ten days, the cycle repeats. Anyone who fails to meet the survival requirements has their consciousness erased; on the eleventh day, their memories reset, trapping them in an eternal loop.
Chen Xu, a PhD in cognitive psychology who made a living with mind reading and magic tricks, awakens the one and only hidden class: [Fraudster: Dao Ancestor].
The data streams he sees are the world's source code. The supernatural arts he speaks of are technology dressed up in psychological jargon. The "Great Emperors" he recruits are a delusional special forces soldier, a chuunibyou chemist girl, a rogue AI core, and more, all fooled into following him...
While others gnaw on tree bark to survive on deserted islands, Chen Xu is building an "altar" (a drone landing pad). While others are chased by mechanical beasts, Chen Xu livestreams his "Thunder Method" (an electromagnetic pulse) and becomes a legend across the internet. While others kill each other over a mouthful of fresh water, Chen Xu's "Heavenly Dao Alliance" has already brought ten islands under its banner using "Primordial Breath" (distilled water).
"This isn't feudal superstition. It's an advanced application of cognitive science." "This isn't a con. It's psychological warfare that exploits an information gap." "The rules of this world are what I'm going to deceive."
From con artist on a deserted island to Dao Ancestor of countless worlds, from livestreamed cons to defying fate and changing destiny... As the Titan descends on the tenth day and the cycle resets on the eleventh, Chen Xu raises a "flying sword" made from a piece of plastic and smiles at ten billion viewers:
"Welcome to my game."
