My Computer Connects to a Real Civilization

Lu Yuan never expected the dusty old computer he bought for fifty bucks to hold a direct link to a living, breathing civilization. At first, he treats it like a divine sandbox—a god simulator. When he shifts a mineral vein on his screen, the people below celebrate a miraculous "divine sign." Dropping a set of tools sends a pillar of light from the heavens, making them bow in awe and reverence. By marking a set of coordinates, he guides them with an invisible force along the only safe path through a forbidden wasteland. But everything changes when his civilization unearths an ancient, sealed ruin. What he thought was a simple game begins to reveal secrets that defy everything he believed—and the connection between his world and theirs may be far deeper than he ever imagined.
