Yi Quan, a 26-year-old programmer, worked himself to death from overtime.
When he woke up, he discovered he had transmigrated to a fantasy world called Aetheria, a place with dragons, elves, and dwarves, as well as a horde of Void monsters eager to tear him limb from limb.
The good news: A mysterious “String Mark” appeared on the back of his hand. They say it’s the key to saving the world.
The bad news: He couldn’t even draw a ten-pound bow, and the Hunters’ Guild nearly turned him away.
To survive, he was forced to put together a team made up entirely of “problem children”:
Pasha Gu: An elven mage expelled from the council. Cold and sharp-tongued, she studies him as a test subject, but later becomes willing to give up immortality for him.
Aike Stone Shield: An exiled dwarven warrior, quick to lose his temper, who has gone through four shields but never gives up.
Yuege Lightfoot: A halfling thief on the run, endlessly talkative and always meddling. Stealing from her teammates and then returning their things is part of her daily routine.
Liming Morningstar: A demoted, useless priest whose healing spells have a fifty percent chance of making people worse, but who never gives up.
Other people transmigrate and become overpowered heroes. He transmigrated to become the comic relief.
Can’t shoot a bow? Then break archery down into 72 parameters and keep optimizing it with a debugging mindset.
Can’t beat the boss? Then exploit a logic flaw to bug it out and “play” it to death.
His teammates mock him because he can’t even draw a bow? He turns around and takes down four Void Apostles in a row with a rookie hunter’s shortbow.
He is the weakest hunter in all of Aetheria, and the hunter everyone fears most, because his way of fixing bugs is to delete them outright.
As the String Mark awakens, the world falls apart, and the Void Evil God descends, Yi Quan discovers a cruel truth: the price of repairing this world may be that he can never go home.
