THE SEVENTH PERMISSION
One-Line Pitch
An ordinary man the world has deemed "worthless" accidentally sees the hidden permission system running reality—and discovers that his own life permissions were tampered with. Now he must fix his life while hunting the shadowy administrator who can rewrite everyone's destiny.
Three-Paragraph Synopsis
Lin Shen's life is crumbling: his bank has no record of his salary, his company doesn't recognize him, his ID is expiring—reality is erasing his existence, piece by piece.
At his breaking point, he sees the truth for the first time: invisible parameters floating above everyone's heads. It was never about effort. It was always about "Visibility," "Opportunity Weight," and "Evaluation Algorithms"—the hidden rules that determine who gets seen, who gets chosen, and who gets left behind.
As he begins using the rules to reverse his fate, a mysterious organization appears—one that maintains world order. But the true enemy may be the holder of the highest permission level, the "Seventh Permission"—or it may be himself.
Core Theme
If reality is truly run by hidden rules, can an ordinary person take back the right to define their own life?
This is not "getting a cheat code." It is about understanding that rules are the first step to changing your fate.
World Design
1. Two-Layer Reality Structure
Layer Name Characteristics
Surface Table World Ordinary reality: companies, schools, hospitals, courts, platforms, social relationships
Underneath Under World Maintained by RPS (Reality Permission System)—all real-world events are processed through permission calculations
2. Four Iron Laws of RPS
Law 1: No Creation from Nothing, Only Reconfiguration — Total world conservation; changing one thing affects another
Law 2: Every Edit Has a Price — The more significant the change, the greater the cost (memory, time, emotion, existence itself)
Law 3: All Edits Leave Logs — Administrators can trace them; illegal modifications will be discovered
Law 4: Rules Always Trump Permissions — Even administrators cannot violate the underlying rules
3. Seven-Level Permission Hierarchy
Level Name Core Ability Scope
L0 Ordinary None Passively accepts rules
L1 Observer Sees partial parameters Personal
L2 Verifier Builds rule models, verifies truth Personal/Small group
L3 Utilizer Uses rules, cannot edit Local scenarios
L4 Editor Modifies minimal parameters, leaves logs Personal destiny
L5 Administrator Maintains reality operations, advanced permissions Region/Organization
L6 Overseer Investigates illegal edits, freezes permissions Cross-regional
L7 Seventh Permission Unknown—ultimate mystery of the entire novel The world itself
Key Setting: The Seventh Permission is not the "highest power"—it is the ability to "modify the rules themselves." It is a dangerous choice mechanism, not a weapon.
Five-Volume Overall Plan
Vol Title Core Rule Theme Protagonist Growth
1 Visibility The world decides "who can be seen" first Prove he's not a failure L0→L2
2 Opportunity Opportunity is not chance—it's an allocation algorithm Understand how opportunity flows L2→L3
3 Evaluation Evaluation determines resource flow Reclaim his tampered evaluation L3→L4
4 Identity Identity is fundamentally a set of permission configurations Identity is not a result, it's a choice L4→L5
5 The Seventh Permission Rules themselves can be modified Decide whether humanity deserves the right to interpretation L5→L7
Volume Structure: Each volume explores ONE rule, completing a "Discovery → Verification → Utilization → Pay the Price → Understand a Higher Rule" cycle within 30 chapters.
