When the rules of "The Battle of the Golden Shovel" come into reality, the college entrance examination will no longer test the language and mathematics, but the actual combat of the Golden Shovel.
In his previous life, he was the legendary player Lin Mo who died suddenly while fighting for the world championship. In this life, he became Chen Yi, a senior high school student who was about to take the "Golden Shovel College Entrance Examination", but his rank was only the lowest, Tough Black Iron. His father even turned into a soulless body because of his failure in the exam.
In this cruel world where fate is determined by the chessboard and life and death are determined by rank, Chen Yi unexpectedly awakens the "hand of god" - a taboo ability that can see the rule lines at the bottom of the chessboard. However, this also caused him to be targeted by a mysterious organization called the "Chess Cutting Club", which also led to the shocking truth about the arrival of the Golden Shovel in the world: Human beings are just chess pieces raised by higher-dimensional "chess players", and the examination is never for selection, but for harvesting.
In the theory paper, he hid secret words in the essay questions; in the actual game, he used an unpopular lineup to make a comeback. Starting from the black iron at the bottom, he will uncover the truth of this thousand-year chess game step by step. The chess player uses the world as the chessboard, and human beings use themselves as the chess pieces - but who says that the chess pieces cannot in turn eat the chess player?
