On the eve of the launch of the fully immersive world "Border Protocol", neural interface accident investigator Shen Zhou received a test headband that should have been destroyed three years ago.
He originally just wanted to find out the truth about the disappearance of his sister Shen Lan, but when he created the character, he got an unprecedented attribute: luck, minus seven.
When others opened treasure chests, he opened empty ones; when others took the main road, the bridge collapsed under his feet; even the novice's birth point fell in an abandoned city that was about to be deleted by the system.
The good news is that every time he's really unlucky, his "error ledger" gets an extra entry.
The bad news is that this account can only temporarily lock in an already existing fact and cannot give him victory out of thin air.
So, while others were busy grabbing first kills, farming artifacts, and building guilds, Shen Zhou was leading a group of residents who were judged as "invalid data" by the system to find ways to prove that he was still alive. Until he saw the number left by his sister in a treasure chest of a boss monster that didn't drop anything.
It turns out that Border Protocol was never just a game. Every map is a possible future for mankind; every time a file is deleted, it is not just data that is deleted.
When the whole world was chasing the correct answer, Shen Zhou decided to recalculate the accounts for those who were wrongly judged.
