Blood rain falls from the sky, and genes become a curse.
This isn’t the apocalypse. It’s an evolutionary game humanity has been forced to play.
Three months ago, “red rain” erupted from the Pacific seabed and rewrote the genes of life across the globe. Some people grew gill slits and plunged into the deep sea; others’ bones mutated into killing weapons. Chen Yu’s mutation, meanwhile, is dragging him toward the brink of losing control.
The wreckage of an undersea ark reveals a conspiracy: the Twelve Apostles’ hymns echo through burning cities, quantum computers inscribe human genes, and a woman in a qipao who calls herself “Mother” smiles as she carries an emerald birdcage containing humanity’s future.
“You think mutation is a blessing?”
“No. It’s a paid beta patch from a higher civilization.”
In this war for survival, where genes, machines, and quantum entanglement collide, a band of “defectives” flips the table:
A convenience store clerk holds the key to rewriting species,
A mad scientist freezes his own heartbeat,
A cyborg agent turns his spine into a quantum cannon,
And their most unreliable teammate is composing an apocalyptic romance with grilled octopus and sonic torpedoes.
When the truth is revealed, the boundary between evolution and destruction collapses with a crash.
Who wrote the code in your genes?
(Sci-fi + cyberpunk + Cthulhu Mythos + mythology + historical elements, fast-paced, with hardcore biology colliding with quantum physics and an all-around unhinged gene war. Welcome to The Age of Genes, where there are no saviors, only villains who refuse to be lab specimens.)
