In the Infinite World, the living are forbidden to enter.
Yet Lu Jin, the god of the Infinite World, broke that rule for Lin Qi.
He sent the only living person into an infinite game meant solely for the dead.
Lin Qi signed a contract to save his critically ill mother. In his very first instance, he let slip a violation of the highest-level ban. The instance was collapsing, his mother was about to die, and every player was about to be erased. At the last second, the intern who was always bullied stood in front of him, covered in blood.
Lin Qi's throat tightened. “Who are you, really?”
The other man only smiled. “Stay alive first. Only then will you get a chance to ask.”
After that, Lin Qi solved one deadly situation after another, saved people, changed fates, and kept meeting him in different roles.
An intern, a Boss, a teammate, an enemy, a principal.
They had different names, but whenever danger struck, they always protected him in the same way.
At last, Lin Qi couldn't help testing him. “You pretend not to know me every time. Is that fun for you?”
The man lowered his eyes. “Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because every time, you come close to me all over again.”
Only later did Lin Qi understand that the Infinite Game wasn't a killing ground. It was the way a god, bound by the laws of Heaven, could still save the people of the world.
But when a god favors him, the god must pay the price.
