In 2030, the fully immersive VRMMORPG "Age of the Divine Realm" took the world by storm.
On the night of its third anniversary celebration, tens of millions of players were online at once. Suddenly, the System displayed a crimson announcement:
[Merging in: 24:00:00]
No one knew what it meant.
Lin Ye was an ordinary third-year college student, a longtime player with mediocre skills. The moment the countdown began, he accidentally triggered a hidden quest and awakened the only hidden talent in the world:
[Reality Manifestation]: Anything obtained in the game can be brought into reality.
At first, it worked at only 5% effectiveness, but that was enough for him to rescue his classmate Su Muqing from the chaos, and to punch a goblin that had crawled out of the game into smithereens.
While other Awakened Ones struggled with a conversion rate of 0.1%, Lin Ye was already wondering how much he could sell legendary gear for if he brought it into the real world.
While governments around the world were still trying to figure out how to close the dungeon rifts, Lin Ye had already led his team through the first city dungeon.
When the mysterious organization “Ark” tried to take charge of this selection process and divide humanity into a hierarchy of ranks, Lin Ye said, “Sorry, I choose all of it.”
The merging grew ever more intense, and the truth gradually came to light: this game was a “trial ground” left behind by an advanced civilization ten thousand years ago. The merging was meant to select the “master of the new world.”
And Lin Ye’s previous life seemed to be connected to all of it in countless ways.
