On the day of his father’s funeral, he was locked in a storage room. His mother flew abroad with her lover without even looking back.
Three months later, Lu Chenzhou had gone from a rich heir to a renter in a shantytown. All he had left was a bank card with 80,000 yuan on it, and a girl who refused to leave him.
Reality crushed the last of his dignity, until Skybound Chronicles launched. It was an immersive fantasy world set in an ancient era, with a nine-tiered heavenly tower, four mysterious continents, and the only throne in the world. Those who cleared the game could change their fate in reality.
In the game, he was a good-for-nothing with a mixed spiritual root, mocked by everyone. Outside the game, he couldn’t even afford rent. His only light was Su Nianqing, the girl who gave up her wealthy family to squeeze into a rented room with him. The egg in every bowl of noodles was always his.
But when their teams clashed in the game, armed against each other, the cracks in their real lives began to tear wide open, too. Breakups, betrayal, destruction, despair... Again and again, he rose from the ruins, shattering his meridians nine times just to stand at the top of the world.
Yet his true enemies weren’t in the game. They were among the people he trusted most.
When the top players from all four continents gathered at the King’s Throne, Lu Chenzhou would face an ultimate betrayal with everything at stake. And atop the throne, the game’s AI would ask him just one question: “Would you give up all your memories in exchange for her safety?”
This isn’t a tale of easy power-ups and a triumphant comeback. It’s the story of a man who lost everything, fighting through the dual hells of game and reality to reclaim his love, dignity, and fate with his own hands.
Turn to the first chapter, and you’ll learn why he has to win.
