Lu Wu, 26, was a senior systems administrator on Earth. His daily job was getting server permissions.
After working overtime until three in the morning, he died suddenly in the server room. When he opened his eyes again, his soul had transmigrated to a parallel Blue Star, where it merged with the soul of an unlucky man of the same name, born with a heart condition and buried under debt.
Brain development: from 3% to 10% in an instant.
A control panel appeared before him, visible only to him:
[Heartbeat Management] [Pain Switch] [Adrenaline Valve] [Sleep Allocation] [Dopamine Quota]…
Other transmigrators got a System. He got root access to his own body.
From then on, Linjiang had a strange new resident:
His medical checkups drove the attending physician to question his right to practice medicine. While eating hotpot, he ordered his fat cells to “all work overtime tonight.” When a gang of thugs surrounded him, he switched off his pain and asked, “Which of you wants to go first?”
It was satisfying, but something was wrong.
At the very bottom of the control panel was a gray option that could never be opened:
[Human Baseline Development: 3% | Locked by: ████]
Who locked away 90% of the human brain, and when and why?
Were “inner vision,” “guarding the One,” and “fasting of the mind” from ancient myths actually unlocking instructions secretly passed down by the ancestors?
The more permissions Lu Wu changed, the closer the gaze in the depths of the darkness drew.
