At the Edge of Code

Lu Chen was once an esports prodigy, but a car accident involving his parents forced him to retire. Now he scrapes by playing games for other people.

A lucrative job offer from a mysterious company called Edge Tech changes everything.

After entering a VR game that has never been made public, Lu Chen discovers that his consciousness has transmigrated to an apocalypse seventy years in the future. This isn’t a game, but quantum consciousness transmission technology. His “cybernetic body” is real, and so is death.

In the world after the Great Collapse, two major factions are locked in a secret struggle. Lu Chen is dragged into the conflict, only to gradually discover that his parents’ car accident years ago had more to it than meets the eye.

From a pawn being controlled to a player taking charge of his own fate, he will use the skills honed during his esports career to fight across two eras.

As the truth is peeled back layer by layer, a conspiracy spanning a century comes to light, and he is the only one who can change everything.
