As a legend in the upper echelons of the global community, but also the underground cyber world, Lin Xie, Apex Null, ruled as an unbeatable legend. A genius hacker from a wealthy corporate family background, he controlled massive empires in the digital world, manipulated stock markets, and knew secrets that would bring countries crashing down. However, at the apex of his powers, he found himself betrayed by people from whom he had never expected any treachery. Betrayed, outsmarted, and defeated, Lin Xie died… with clarity.
Then he opened his eyes again.
This time he came back to the days of his youth, when he was about to become a legend, but when no treachery was done to him and no mistakes were made. Having been granted another chance of life along with a strange Cyberspace Ascension System aimed to quicken his progress, Lin Xie returns to zero but knowing all the experiences and secrets from his previous incarnation.
However, this time, everything will be different.
Being a cold-blooded man with incredible mental prowess and ruthless efficiency, Lin Xie will rebuild his journey through the cyber world from scratch. Outdated technology becomes deadly tools for him, and invisible web expands further than ever as he acts under the mask of an influential mastermind in order to build up his corporate power and correct the mistakes of the past.
But behind the veil of the legendary hacker, there hides one sole, firm objective.
Revenge.
Black Covenant. ZeroTrace. Every single person involved in his downfall… none of them will survive this.
With each step up towards the peak, Lin Xie will no longer seek domination over the rest, as his goal now is the absolute supremacy over his opponents. He won’t rely on anybody, he won’t wait until he is attacked, and he won’t fail…
However, as he ascends to the top of the mountain, many other factors arise.
Unknown enemies, unexpected alliances, and even the system itself… its actual function and objective…
The legend who once fell… now returns!
And this time…
Nothing will stand against him.
