Yan Xu is the original identity of the protagonist on Earth before transmigration. He was an ordinary middle-aged man who loved reading novels and playing classic video games. He often fantasized about transmigrating to another world. He bought a second-hand hard drive online from a game enthusiast whose girlfriend had smashed his computer. Upon installing the drive, Yan Xu was inexplicably transported into the body of Owen Hydra. His memories include his mundane life and his desperate wish to survive. He often reflects on his past, missing the conveniences of modern life. He is not particularly skilled or strong but must rely on his wits and the system to survive.
