The Healing Light of Redemption

(The character-related settings in this book differ from the original series. The setting is entirely new, but still builds on the original with enhancements and minor changes. Thank you all for your support.)

The protagonist, Xi Ci, is a teenager suffering from severe depression and a hereditary disease.

One rainy night, just as Xi Ci is about to jump off a building and end his life, the Light of Noah chooses him to become a compatible host.

Through battles that are even harder than those in the original series, he comes to understand that light is a bond that carries hope.

"The light chose me. It gave me the power to protect the people I care about, but they all left. If I can't even protect the people who matter to me, then what does it mean for me to become the light?"

(Real-world setting + angst + heartbreaking + healing + one female lead + character growth)
