Star Abyss Walker

In 2027, the 2D game <Star Abyss>, touted as a AAA masterpiece, is about to officially launch after its closed beta.

Ding Han, unemployed after graduation, is one of the top 100 players from the closed beta. He and his friend Yang Wei plan to conquer the official server together, intending to use their experience from the beta to earn some money for instant noodles and rent.

On the day the game opens, he receives a CDKEY in the chat group, rumored to grant a beginner's set. But the moment he enters it into the game, he's sucked into the monitor by a beam of light.

After being transported into the game, the scene before him leaves him utterly stunned.

On the boundless wilderness, alien beasts and swarms of insects roam.

Heavy battle tanks, warriors clad in ceramic power armor wielding boltguns.

Harrowing orbital bombardments, terrifying psychic powers, and genetic evolutions beyond imagination.

Roaring starships, mechs soaring through the sky...

And from the heavens descend tentacles of the Zerg, coiling around half the planet...

And urban life that strongly resembles China around the year 2000...

Ding Han is on the verge of tears. 'You're telling me this is a 2D game?!'

Thus, in this chaotic world of Star Abyss, he takes one step at a time, relying on his solid gaming skills, and eventually becomes a walker traversing the Star Abyss.
