Summary

In 2024, a mysterious rune tower descends upon Earth, transporting every human between the ages of 10 and 35 into a game world known as the Divine Void Realm. Each person has only one life, and the sole way back to the real world is to clear all ninety-nine floors. Teenager Tang Wu'er is stuck with the lowest possible stats, while his beloved senior schoolmate Eileen has already risen to fame across the entire server as the Sword Princess. Unwilling to remain in the safe zone and simply wait, he steps alone through the Hero's Trial Gate—a door from which no one has ever returned—and fights his way to a class change with nothing but a blank-slate character sheet. Breaking through blockades set up by the major guilds, he carves his path sword in hand, climbing toward the upper floors alongside his companions.

Editor's review

This is a typical online-game competitive power fantasy. The setting is clear and the pacing brisk; the protagonist's route of rising from the weakest attributes is very friendly to veteran readers, and the descriptions combining sword techniques and spell arts leave an impression. The weaknesses are that the opening worldbuilding is rather long, the supporting characters are thinly developed, some passages feel formulaic, and the late-stage wrap-up is somewhat rushed. It suits readers seeking easy excitement rather than depth.

Reading tips

  1. The prologue's worldbuilding is long; skim it quickly and go straight into the main storyline of Chapter One.
  2. Note the growth milestones from blank attributes to mastering the ninefold spell arts—this is the core thrill of the book.
  3. It can be read straight through as a completed long novel, so don't be put off by the slow start.
