In an era of technological advancement and urban life, Su Qiang was living every game developer's dream—creating unique worlds where players could lose themselves. But dreams had a price, and for Su Qiang, it was the looming bankruptcy that threatened to consume his passion project. Every potential investor's meeting ended in disappointment, deepening Su Qiang's despair. Just when he believed his life's worst trial was financial ruin, the universe had a darker challenge in store.

Suddenly, Earth was thrust into the forefront of an intergalactic battle, with unknown cosmic entities marking their territory. These entities weren't just threats to a nation or a continent but to the very fabric of human existence. And as if in response, a mysterious force began to select warriors from the Earth's populace—randomly choosing them irrespective of age, profession, or combat knowledge. These warriors were armed with state-of-the-art weapons and armors and were dispatched on perilous missions to confront these alien threats.

The day Su Qiang's life truly turned upside-down wasn't when he was on the brink of bankruptcy but when an otherworldly creature ambushed him. Awakening in an unfamiliar metallic room, Su Qiang was informed of his new role as one of the chosen warriors. Every mission was a fight against both the external cosmic entities and the internal dread of death that awaited if he failed. As a video game developer, Su Qiang had crafted countless challenge scenarios for players. Now, the stakes were real, and every challenge threatened his very life.

But even in this dire situation, Su Qiang's unique background offered him a perspective that others lacked. His understanding of game mechanics, strategies, and player psychology became tools he could wield in these real-world battles. Moreover, the accident that had thrown him into this new reality seemed to have imbued him with an evolving bloodline and unprecedented talents.
