Game designer Huo Yun traveled into the holographic game "Ark of Destiny" he designed and became an NPC. The good news is that as the father of games, he knows every bug, every hidden plot, and every shortcut. The bad news is that the NPC he dressed as "Huo Yun" was originally set to "Decathlon" - all attribute skills are at full level, and he can be called a walking humanoid plug-in. However, the price of this max-level account is that he is bound to the hidden curse of "cannot take care of himself": he cannot carry out any interaction unrelated to "clearing the level", cannot eat, cannot trade, cannot form a team, cannot even ask the player for help.
He can only rely on wits and use game rules, environmental traps and player psychology to kill people with a borrowed knife and drive away tigers and devour wolves. He secretly made plans to guide players to conquer the dungeons he needed to destroy; he forged missions to make rival guilds fight each other. His goal is to find the core code of the game, modify his character data, and return to normal life.
But the blackened NPC "Zero" who always appeared at critical moments and seemed to be able to predict all his plans showed a strange smile to him: "Do you think you are playing a game? No, the game is playing you. And you are my most perfect work." Huo Yun suddenly realized that his time travel may not be an accident, but a top-notch "game" for himself.
