Mind Game: A Life of Nothingness

Getting along with people is a matter of the mind, and that holds true even in the Milky Way. Even after ruling the world, there are still problems you cannot handle. Our protagonist, Qi Wen, is just like that.

The Interstellar Federation wears peace as a mask, ruling over the order of the entire sea of stars while burying every dark truth.

The iron laws of Brownism seal off interstellar contact, isolate alien races, suppress the truth, and purge those deemed different. Countless civilizations unwilling to be controlled gather into a secret rebel army, hiding on the primitive, desolate planet of Esomir and struggling to survive in the cracks.

The bloodline of the Originators runs through the sea of stars. With a single thought, they can reshape minds and invert perceptions, making their power the closest thing to divinity.

The gifted young Kaimi Yaluo bears a pure and powerful bloodline. He should have received careful guidance from a renowned master and followed the righteous path, but the Federation's supreme executive, Zuoer Hepa, deliberately broke him down and molded him step by step. The once innocent boy became the ruthless executioner known as the Red Earl.

Undercover agents, sham surrenders, forged recordings, and discord sown between star regions: the Federation laid its web of deceit with painstaking care.

False intelligence fooled the entire rebel army, filling everyone with joy. Only Commander Kela felt a chill in his heart. The Bo'er star system was ruthlessly manipulated, and neighboring stars fell into suspicion and hostility as the Federation's conspiracy unfolded piece by piece.

When the ultimate weapon of destruction, AT, closed in, the secret stronghold was completely exposed, and an overwhelming crisis struck in the middle of the night.

The whole army had to choose: they would give their lives to protect the flame. Half the soldiers stayed behind to defend the planet, using their own bodies to withstand the fighter jets raining down on them.

But the deadliest enemy was never among the enemy forces in the sea of stars.

A trusted comrade hid fangs behind a friendly face. Inside the Black Hawk's escape pod, the final gun pointed in betrayal shattered every last hope.
