After Shuxuan, an overworked game developer, successfully codes a simulated replica of the ancient Jade Empire for Lin, the Dragon Emperor, he thinks it’s finally time to kick back and relax. But hitting the "Enter" key doesn't just send Lin into this artificial realm…Instead, it launches both of them straight into the actual, historical past! Why? Because Shuxuan just so happens to be the reincarnation of Lin's ancient Imperial Shaman.Plummeting thousands of years back in time, they arrive in the times right before the empire's destruction...While Lin regains his glorious, overpowered imperial body, Shuxuan finds himself thrust into the role (and the highly complicated robes) of the original Exalted Shaman – a job he has absolutely zero clue how to do.Now, the modern coder has to bluff his way past suspicious courtiers, substituting ancient Daoist rituals with pure C# logic.They soon uncover the truth: the empire's impending doom isn't the wrath of jealous gods, but a far more insidious internal "malware" lurking within the system, threatening to format (err, delete) the entire realm.Now, these two true friends must combine the Dragon Emperor's raw, divine power with the ruthless logic of modern programming to "cheese" the final boss and deploy the greatest bug fix in history.Will they manage to debug the apocalypse? We'll just have to wait and see... [System Error: Missing Context! This is Volume 2.
