In 2099, the global full-dive VR game Eternal Continent surpasses two billion players online.
Professional esports champion Lin Yuan, ID "Yuan," has just led his team to victory in the S8 season championship when he unexpectedly receives a mysterious black neural interface.
The moment he puts it on, his consciousness is dragged into the game world.
He becomes the lord of a dilapidated small city on the edge of the Land of Hunger.
The city walls are crumbling, the population is under fifty, there is only enough food for ten days, and sand raiders run rampant.
But a System called "Black Nexus" has appeared in his mind: the Eye of War, lord privileges, tactical awareness, a System shop... These abilities give him an advantage far beyond that of ordinary people.
However...
[Other Black Nexus Hosts detected in Eternal Continent.]
[Their number, locations, and abilities are unknown.]
[The only rule: In the end, only one person can wield the Central Nexus.]
Starting with a city in ruins, he recruits allies, trains an army, and builds up the city.
He matches wits with players, clashes with sand raiders, and deals with the empire.
With his brains, tactics, and understanding of the game, he crushes all opposition.
Eight Nexuses vie for supremacy. In the end, only one person will stand atop the continent.
