In 2050, the world's first neural dive online game, Classic of Mountains and Seas, opens its public beta, promising a completely authentic recreation of the ancient Great Wilderness.
But when the players enter the game, all they see is a broken, crumbling wasteland.
Beasts run amok, gods are missing, and causality has fallen apart.
Taotie can never sate its hunger, Jingwei has no sea to fill, and Kuafu's pursuit of the sun has come to nothing.
The entire Great Wilderness is trapped in shattered data, slowly dying and going mad.
Lu Chen transmigrates on the day of the public beta and unexpectedly binds to the only hidden class in the entire game: [Scribe].
Armed with a divine writing brush, he wields the ultimate authority to rewrite the ancient scrolls of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
While everyone else grinds monsters, levels up, fights over dungeon resources, and competes on the power rankings,
Lu Chen uses his brush to mend heaven and earth, restore mountains and rivers, and determine the fates of strange beasts.
He brings life back to the withered trees of Mount Yaoyao, rewrites Qiongqi's savage nature, and reshapes the tides and causality of the Eastern Sea.
One stroke mends the Great Wilderness. One word determines the fate of the world.
When he completes the final page of the fragmentary scroll about Mount Buzhou, the barrier between game and reality shatters with a roar.
Bronze fragments that had lain dormant for three thousand years float into the world.
Only then does Lu Chen understand:
People think they're playing a game based on the Classic of Mountains and Seas. They have no idea that the broken Great Wilderness has waited countless ages for one thing: the Scribe's return.
