Player

Biodata

Overview

Players are individuals selected to enter recurring survival-game instances triggered by black holes and global disasters. They retain access to game panels, game items, trading systems, and—depending on their rewards—attribute enhancements, talents, and supernatural abilities. Death in an instance is real. 1 50 211

They are distinct from local inhabitants, often called Natives or NPCs. This distinction creates a major power imbalance, as Players can possess advanced equipment and abilities unavailable to ordinary survivors. 5 147 248
