Post-apocalyptic world + frenzied stockpiling + superpowers + ruthless decisiveness + enlightened self-interest
No one expected the apocalypse to really come one day. One disaster after another mercilessly swept humanity from the Blue Star.
Yun Feiyu, an ordinary college student, unexpectedly awakens the Knife-Lender System.
Knife-lenders lend knives but never sell them. Their prophecies come true, and then they return to collect.
Of course, the debt is worth far more than the price of a knife. Once a prophecy comes true, the cost can multiply several times over.
Some people think it's a deal with no downside. If the prophecy fails, they get a knife for free.
If it comes true, then the money was well spent.
Of course, hardly anyone thought the prophecies would come true back then. Most people were just watching for fun.
Later, people discovered that every prophecy left by the knife-lender had come true!
But Yun Feiyu is a knife-lender unlike any other. He is elusive, impossible to summon at will. It isn't about what he wants, but what you have to offer.
As Yun Feiyu grows stronger, he realizes that nothing is as simple as it seems. The Blue Star is both the beginning and the end.
With the apocalypse's arrival, everyone's attitude toward the knife-lender changes.
Some hope he'll come and search everywhere for him, because he can predict disasters and rescue people from danger.
Others avoid him like the plague, because he is the King of Hell, come to claim their lives. When he shows up, you might get away with losing some money, or you might lose your life.
One word decides life and death. One sentence foretells fortune and calamity.
Above all, his iconic question sends a chill through everyone: I'll lend you a knife. Do you dare take it?
It's pretty good, but there are not many people watching.
