In a post-nuclear world, twenty mega-corporations have seized control and established a global government. They rule through AI, which judges all matters. Gao Xin only wanted to live a peaceful life, but inexplicably became a scapegoat for the powerful elite. Unable to afford prison fees, he was sentenced to ten years' exile on Penance Isle! On this island, there are no laws, no constraints-the only order comes from the various game arenas established by the authorities. The criminals can only participate like racehorses, providing entertainment for the privileged elite. However, on this prison island teeming with irradiated beings, cyborgs, and countless dangerous villains, Gao Xin possesses neither strength, talent, nor connections. Like a sheep thrown into a crocodile pool, it's tantamount to a death sentence. How can an ordinary person survive under the oppression of those stronger, more gifted, and more ruthless? Unless there exists in this world a path that allows even the weakest person to continuously break through their limitations. Tags: Urban, Supernatural Powers

It's the year 2060. The last world war was fought not with soldiers, but with code, machines, and stolen time. Democracy is dead. Earth is dying. And those who survived rule with knowledge they should've destroyed. Now, survival depends on power-and power depends on what you find first. This is a story of war beyond borders. War beyond time. War beyond galaxies. We used to fear nuclear bombs. Now we fear the collapse of space itself. We thought we were building the future. We didn't realise we were rewriting it. This isn't just a story. This is our future.
