In the twenty-third year of Tianyuan, rule-based horror descends.
Tens of thousands of chosen ones emerge around the globe, each representing their country against the invasion of horrors.
Win, and the rules shatter and vanish, granting a brief reprieve. Lose, and horrors descend upon your homeland, leaving devastation in their wake.
Rules reign above all!
This is the iron law of death, forged from countless lives after humanity's first four attempts to defeat the horrors ended in failure.
Chen Shun, the sole survivor of the Chen family after the rules punished them for their defeat, volunteers to become one of the chosen in the fifth round, stepping into the shadow of the rules that everyone else desperately avoids.
But he has a secret he has kept from everyone:
Something is parasitizing his stomach.
It makes him feel an immense, suffocating hunger, day and night, every hour, every minute, every second.
Chen Shun stares at the mutated monster before him and swallows, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Everyone in the livestream: What do we do? Can someone help him? He looks terrified!
Chen Shun: What do I do? Can someone help me? I'm about to start drooling.
