Synopsis

Fantasy | Ensemble Cast | No Romance | Rules vs. Human Nature | Another World | Light Lovecraftian Elements | Eastern Aesthetics | Atheism | Blended Eastern and Western Worldviews Do you think someone who has lived for too long can still remember who they once were? He disguises the truth of his immortality as inheritance, and wanders through the gaps in fate as an observer. He mends the rules, but cannot mend himself. That drop of bone condensed into a ruby is the only proof of his own existence he has left. When six boys from different worlds are drawn into this land, their fates become tightly bound to Claude’s. Li Guanqi only wants to go home, but fate sweeps him along and leads him to take up the blade of his own accord. A scheme spanning thousands of years exists for one reason alone: to give him a chance to return home. As devout prayers ring out, silent idols push everyone toward the same answer: the gods never answer prayers. Only people can save themselves. This is a tale of eternity and transience: of blood and sand on the battlefield, white flowers and whispers before a coffin, the night the dead return, and the farewells left unfinished time and again beneath the bells. When the dust settles, the exile finally resolves to leave with his companions and set out on the path to survival he schemed into being. Then he hears a voice behind him, questioning him in his own words: “Do you still remember the way home?” When the gods are no longer omnipotent and even heroes must die, the six boys’ journey home tears open a flawless disguise that has lasted six thousand years.
