Ring Prison

The fog in Beizhen grows up from underground. The lumberjack Li Zuo cut down a tree that he shouldn't have cut down, and fell into the Ring City - twelve underground floors, with a way to die on each floor. Emperor Chongzhen was waiting for him in the fog. He Shen was trapped in chains. Fang Xiaoru's ink marks were blown away by the wind over and over again. Twelve circles, twelve unwilling dead people. Every time he walked deeper, the robotic arm swallowed up a piece of memory. The deeper you go, the more you forget. When he reached the innermost circle, he discovered that his mechanical arm was an ax grown by the city itself. He is performing a long suicide for a city that has existed for three thousand years.
