The earthquake ten years ago destroyed an entire city. Along with Shen Mu's youth, all of Linglan High School slid into the abyss formed by the earth splitting open.
Though he was lucky enough to survive, Shen Mu's heart died in that moment.
"Hey, listen. Let's make a bet." On an overpass ten years later, a demon leaned down to whisper in the ear of the dying Shen Mu. "Join a game, then find me."
That was the only clue. When Shen Mu woke up again, he had returned to the high school he knew so well.
Starting from scratch, he explores the game, offers apologies that are long overdue, and finds closure with his mother and his friends, searching alongside Nong Cai for the final way out.
But at the end of this journey, he discovers the true nature of the world, a truth that is both real and despairing...
"Tell me, if you had the choice, would you go through it all again, those regrets from your youth?"
