In the 22nd century, consciousness is projected into the quantum abyss, and the tactical shooting game "Dawn" becomes a new battlefield to determine energy hegemony. Each player has three chances to appear and switch between the three forms of observer, suppressor and oracle - the price of seeing everything is to be seen. The harder you kill, the faster you will be broken. The moment you awaken into an oracle, the ticking sound of the countdown is your funeral march.
Lu Caiyi, the core of Starfall, is recognized as a madman in the industry. He can use the Observer to penetrate the wall and spot all five people on the opposite side, and he can also complete three kills with one bullet at the last second when the Suppressor's armor is broken. Everyone said there was something wrong with his brain - he sang children's songs in training games, answered questions in interviews and laughed like an unedged knife.
Shen Lingxi, the commander of Starfall, is the youngest tactical brain in the alliance. He is precise, calm and always does the right thing. Teammates call him a "human computer," and fans say he even counts his breaths. He has only done one uncontrollable thing in his life - signing Lu Caiyi from an Internet cafe to Starfall.
In the finals that year, Lu Caiyi refused to awaken at the last second of the countdown, and used the broken body of the Suppressor to withstand the opponent's Oracle's three-shot rule. He won the game and almost ruined his career.
No one knows why he did it. Only Shen Lingxi said something in the post-match interview:
"He's not crazy. He's too sane."
Four years later, the two reunited in Starfall. Lu Caiyi has just finished his long rehabilitation training, and Shen Lingxi is already the absolute core of two championships. They need each other - one needs the other's calmness to contain his own loss of control, and the other needs the other's madness to break his own perfection.
And the alliance's biggest enemy, Eternal, is waiting to crush everything with their "absolute correctness".
This is a story about how broken people put themselves back together. In the abyss, no one can descend three times alone.
Intention: When the world forces you to collapse into a formula, how do you break yourself and come back again.
