Lin Mo was once the most gifted young point guard in the country, but at eighteen, an accident tore the ligaments in his right knee. His career was over before it had even begun. Five years later, he was an ordinary game designer at a gaming company, writing code and testing games day after day. Then, one day, the company launched the closed beta for its new fully immersive basketball game, Basketball Era. Lin Mo put on a VR headset, just to give it a try, only to find his consciousness trapped in the game world forever. Even stranger, the explosive power, speed, and court sense he had lost in real life had all returned in this virtual world.
To find a way back to reality, Lin Mo had no choice but to start in the game’s lowest league. Gradually, he discovered a shocking secret hidden in the game’s underlying code: the consciousness of every NPC player came from a gifted athlete in the real world who had fallen due to injury or some other cause. Lin Mo decided to challenge the game’s top competition, the “King of Kings League.” Only by defeating the final AI champion could he return to reality. His only weapon was the basketball dream that had once been shattered, but now burned bright again in the virtual world.
