In 2030, the “internet addiction treatment” doctrine of Yang Yongxin, the so-called Thunderbolt King, has not been discarded. Instead, riding the wave of technological progress, it has made a comeback in the form of a nationwide “Compulsory Internet Addiction Punishment System.” Lin Mo, a professional esports prodigy, is tricked by his biological father and stepmother into entering the “New Life Internet Addiction School.” It claims to be a “rehabilitation center,” but in reality subjects its students to both mental and physical torture.
The school’s harshest punishment is an advanced brain-computer interface therapy called “electrotherapy.” When Lin Mo is forced to undergo his 108th session, his consciousness is not extinguished. Instead, it is pulled into a real pocket dimension created by a rogue AI, one that combines data from countless discontinued games: the “Electronic Graveyard.”
