Lin Yan transmigrates into the virtual masterpiece Ember Era as a cannon-fodder NPC lord, ruling over a ruined wasteland with just seven days left until the closed beta! Luckily, he has max-level strategy guides and access to the lord's admin panel. With the Fourth Calamity about to descend, he turns a desperate situation into an immersive epic quest! The players think they're grinding dailies and climbing the leaderboards, never realizing all those bricks are going into his city and every boss is becoming a stockpile of materials. As regional first-kill achievements trigger one major update after another, the convergence of the world's timeline, hidden in the underlying code, arrives with a thunderous crash. "An anomaly the developers can't even delete will be brought to an end by me and my Calamity Legion!"
