In a world where virtual reality has reached unprecedented heights, Eclipse was supposed to be just another game—an ambitious open-world RPG designed by Lena Kurova, a brilliant but reclusive game developer. With an AI-driven world, endless choices, and a protagonist whose fate would be shaped by the player, Eclipse was meant to revolutionize gaming. But something went wrong. On launch day, Eclipse transcended its digital boundaries and became reality. The world as people knew it shifted, fusing with the game’s brutal, unpredictable universe. Cities turned into warzones, mythical beasts roamed the streets, and game mechanics became the laws of physics. Lena, now trapped in her own creation, is no longer just a developer—she is both the game’s architect and prisoner. Meanwhile, the game’s protagonist, "Void," an enigmatic warrior designed to be controlled by players, has become self-aware. And then there’s Kai, a top-ranked gamer who unknowingly triggered the event. With his skills, he might be the only one capable of navigating this new world’s mechanics. As reality crumbles, Lena, Void, and Kai must uncover the truth behind Eclipse’s transformation. Was it an accident? A glitch? Or was this world always meant to become real? But the deeper they dive, the more they realize: the game is evolving. And soon, they may not be the ones playing it anymore.

This book is also known as: "How Programmers Turn a Crappy Game into a Timeless Classic with a Single BUG" Recently, the president of Nitiandang, Gu Fan, once again fell from grace due to a minor bug in his new game. As a top-notch designer in the industry, all of the games designed by Gu Fan have very distinct characteristics: At first, players felt that these games were monotonous, dull, and purely revolting garbage. However, once players discovered a major bug, the gameplay underwent a drastic transformation, rendering them sleep-deprived and unable to quit! So, players once again launched a major debate over "whether this is actually a bug or a game mechanic." In response to this, Gu Fan clarified in an interview with all seriousness: "Hello everyone, I'm the game designer Gu Fan, but you can also call me by my English name: fan·gu (means rebel). "I want to reiterate firmly that these so-called 'core gameplays' were not part of our company's original design—they are bugs! It's just that we didn't fix them because the players liked them!"
