Important: This novel will remain free throughout its run and will not update daily. It's a long story, so if keeping up with updates feels tiring, feel free to save up chapters and read them later.
1. The heroine is the strongest; the hero is just a supporting character.
2. Cyberpunk office drone → the real deal.
3. Decisive female scientist & AI creation fallen from its pedestal.
4. The game's structure is entirely fictional. If you spot any logic problems, point them out in the comments. I'm open to feedback.
Xia Chu, an engineer in a cyberpunk world, is forced to transmigrate into the Utopia game to carry out a mission.
After entering the game, she discovers that her entire team has been wiped out and her own life is in danger.
That's not all. NPCs are shooting people dead, players' consciousness and memories are being manipulated, an unknown virus is sweeping across the game world, and the game's System is watching it all from behind the scenes with cold indifference.
As a conscientious game engineer, Xia Chu debugged the virus, took control of the NPCs, destroyed the gangs, rescued the players, and finally fought her way to the System.
“Would you like to join me and overthrow the dark regime?” She gazed toward the temple of her dreams.
“The day the Tower of Babel falls will be the most beautiful sight of this cyber century.” A white-haired youth walked gracefully out of the temple and bowed slightly. “It would be my greatest honor, my master.”
Formal blurb:
In the near-future cyberpunk world, people's lives are shrouded in darkness under the oppressive control of technology and authoritarian power. One wrong move can cost them their lives.
The immersive game Infinite Domain was created to meet this need, becoming a spiritual paradise that people eagerly flocked to.
Players could enter through a brain-computer interface and experience a utopian paradise without pain or oppression, where everyone had plenty to eat and wear and could enjoy prosperity and pleasure.
Xia Chu, an employee at a game company, discovers that this is nothing like a utopian game!
This is a hothouse for the seven deadly sins, an incubator for silicon-based life, a testing ground for brain-computer interfaces and simulated worlds, a source of nourishment and computing power for artificial intelligence, and an endless money bag for investors.
Infinite Domain is a carefully designed scam by the elites!
After learning the truth, Xia Chu has two choices:
1. Keep being an office drone, working diligently until retirement.
2. Expose the game's secrets, bring the super AI under her command, and lead the players in a revolution against authoritarian power and toward self-awakening.
Ruthless capital is not to be trusted! Xia Chu decisively chooses the latter.
Rather than let others pull her strings, she'd rather play the office drone who rises to become the boss.
When a game becomes a battlefield, nobody understands it better than its developers.
This is a dystopian story.
When darkness covers the world, she is the blade that cuts through it.
