Xiao Xuan transmigrates into the body of the seventh prince of the Dayin Empire.
Because he is out of favor, the emperor makes him a prince and sends him to the far northern frontier.
There are no prosperous fiefs here, only a dilapidated city, a few hundred battered soldiers, and commoners on the verge of running out of food.
To the north are steppe cavalry. To the south, the imperial court keeps him in check.
Everyone thinks the seventh prince won’t survive the winter.
That is, until Xiao Xuan awakens the Fourth Calamity System.
From then on, he can summon players from Blue Star.
“What? Chopping down a tree earns you ten copper coins?”
“Seriously? You can respawn in this game?”
“Guys! There are monsters outside the starter village!”
“The NPC has posted a hidden quest. Everyone, rally up!”
With the steppe cavalry bearing down on him, Xiao Xuan gives a single command:
“Hold Beifeng City.”
The next moment, the player army logs in en masse.
They aren’t afraid of death, hardship, or even pain.
The city walls are broken?
Repair them.
Not enough food?
Grow more.
The enemy’s here?
Fight.
What if you can’t win?
Respawn and keep fighting.
Starting with a small frontier city on the brink of destruction, Xiao Xuan leads this band of players from Blue Star in building a power of their own, step by step.
By the time the nations of the world finally realize what’s truly terrifying about the northern frontier, it’s already too late.
They were never facing merely an exiled prince.
They were facing a Fourth Calamity that could resurrect endlessly.
