When the game Dimension Era launched, players from around the world flooded in, hoping to find opportunities in this second world.
While everyone else was grinding monsters day and night for a basic weapon or shouting themselves hoarse in the plaza to earn a few copper coins, Shen Jin had already quietly opened this world’s “source code.”
He could see far more than a monster’s health bar.
In the eyes of NPCs, he could see hidden [Affection], [Quest Progress], and [Drop Lists].
More importantly, he could modify this backend data just like a programmer.
When the aloof priestess had [Affection: -100 (Disgust)] above her head, Shen Jin casually dragged the backend slider all the way up to [Worship], automatically triggering a hidden quest that should have been impossible to unlock.
When the reward for a deadly chain quest showed [Experience: 100–300], he changed it directly to [Experience: 300 (Maximum)] and replaced the reward of “garbage cloth shoes” with “rare leather boots.”
He could even hack a monster’s aggro mechanics, making a boss turn on its own underlings in a berserk state and letting him slaughter enemies above his level at “zero cost.”
“You’re playing an online game. I’m playing ‘My World.’”
Seated on his throne, with countless legendary NPCs obeying his every command behind him, Shen Jin looked down at the players gathered below, blissfully unaware, and spoke calmly.
