Synopsis
The day Eternal Domain went live, the world lost its logout key. “Death here is real.” “If you want to leave — defeat me.” When the voice of Li An, the so-called Game God, echoed through the sky, every player realized — this is no longer a game, but reality. Lin Jin, once a beta tester known for his near-perfect record, is now just another trapped soul in a world that refuses to end. Still, he picks up his dual blades — with will, with blood, and with battle, he climbs toward the floating White Tower. Because he knows… only by defeating Li An, can the world be reset.

白袍的研究员在演播室坐得笔直.

玩家将以意识进入一个一比一复制的世界."

"Eternal Domain is built on a full neural-mapping interface,

allowing players to enter a perfectly mirrored reality through pure consciousness."

主持人问他:

The host asked:

> "那...是否意味着,他们的身体会被完全隔绝?"

"So… does that mean their physical bodies are completely cut off?"

研究员笑了.

The scientist smiled.

> "放心,这是最安全的沉浸方式.

这是人类第一次——以'完整的自我'进入另一个世界."

"Relax. This is the safest form of immersion.

It's humanity's first chance to step into another world as their full selves."

风从高空吹下,

The wind came down from the sky,

掠过街道,掠过废墟,

sweeping through streets, over rooftops,

又吹入某个被隔绝的世界.

and into a world beyond reach.

浮空的白塔在云海之上.

The floating White Tower hung above the clouds.

金光倾泻而下,

Golden light streamed downward,

照亮无数被困的灵魂.

其中一个,缓缓睁开眼.

Among them, one opened his eyes.

他看着那片永恒的蓝天.
