Programmer Lin Shu was struck by a purple lightning bolt on a thunderstorm night. When he woke up, he found that he could "see" the underlying laws of all things - temperature, status, probability, and even fine-tuning. The superpower came so suddenly. Before he could use it a few times, he was locked into the highest threat level anomaly by an irresistible force.
The moment the seventy-two-hour countdown reached zero, the ground beneath his feet turned into a yellow sponge—and he fell into a mysterious space called the "back room."
This is an endless maze with hundreds of terrifying levels: Level 0's rancid yellow corridor, Level 5's memory-devouring hotel, Level 6's dark realm of never-light, and Level 7's giant beasts swimming in the deep sea. The Guardians - the oldest self-disciplined beings in the Back Chamber - tirelessly hunt every Awakened.
But Lin Shu was not fighting alone. Su Wan, the space folder, Lao K, the material enhancer, Pang Hu, the power awakener, Jiang Li, the sound wave controller, Ashu, the plant promoter, Xiao Yu, the law perceiver - a group of awakened people marked as "abnormal" ignited the fire of resistance in this forgotten desperate situation.
From survival to counterattack, from the back room to the underlying law space, from fighting against the guardian to facing the will of the world. This is not a story about "escape", but a legend about "turning a desperate situation into a home".
