Lin Yue was once a legend in Dawn of the Era. After winning two consecutive championships, he abruptly retired, leaving the world with a mystery.
Two years later, he returns with a squad of “data anomalies.” Every member is a misfit whom the System has deemed “unsuited for professional play”: a bipolar attack dog of an assault player, an autistic sniper who stutters, a tactical genius with Asperger’s, and a synesthetic boy whose ears can hear data.
Nobody believes this team can win.
But Lin Yue has a secret no one knows: his special ability isn’t gameplay, but “rewind.” Once a day, he can return to any point in the past thirty seconds. The price is that each time he rewinds, he loses a real memory.
He is trading away his own identity for an impossible chance.
And his opponent is his former best friend, a “perfect player” whom the System has completely remade into an AI.
Chen Zhou no longer remembers him.
But Lin Yue remembers.
He remembers everything, even if the price is forgetting who he is.
