Three years after the launch of the world’s first full-dive game, Godfall, its only SSS-ranked dungeon, “Doomsday Racetrack,” arrives. No one ever survives.
As players collectively break down and petition to have the game shut down, Mu Tingxue is pushed off a rooftop by her scumbag boyfriend and best friend. She becomes bound to this deadly dungeon, and the entire internet watches a live countdown to her death.
Everyone expects to see her crushed into data fragments by the mechanical Reaper. No one knows that the game code from her previous life is flickering across her retinas, and she has already raced this track three thousand times.
While other players are still terrified of the first wave of disasters, she steps on her sonic hoverboard and gently presses the accelerator amid the barrage of mocking comments. Three days later, a world announcement rings out across every server: “Doomsday Racetrack” has been cleared. Permanent record holder: Mu Tingxue.
