The Thirteen Reincarnation Ruins

When Lin Yan opens his eyes, the world has fallen into a strange cycle. Everyone is trapped in Dawn-Dusk Ruins, where thirteen days make up one cycle. When it ends, all memories are wiped clean, and the dead awaken once more. Rumor has it that anyone who clears all thirteen levels of the Ancient Gods’ Game and collects 1,300 “Lingering Thoughts” can return to the world of the living. The administrators, wearing masks of the Thirteen Earthly Branches, devise one deadly wager after another. A handful of people awaken the power to rewind time, carrying memories from previous cycles as they repeatedly take on the trials. Lin Yan steps into the deadly game again and again, and soon discovers that returning to the world of the living is nothing but an elaborate lie. Behind the countless cycles, everyone in the ruins had already perished in the same fire in the real world. This novel and its characters are entirely fictional.
