In a modern city where neon lights intertwine with ancient martial arts, an ordinary young man named Lin Mo uses a vial of forbidden medicine streaked with phosphorescent fire to tear open a crack in fate.
When the testing device explodes in a violet flash, the mark of an innate martial artist burns an ancient totem into his skin. A secret dormant for seventeen years gradually comes to light, along with his mother’s dying mutterings and the truth behind his father’s mysterious disappearance.
An invitation from a martial arts clan is entwined with a bloody conspiracy. The restless, inhuman howls from an underground seal site and the blood-red trail traced by a cigarette ember in a black-clad man’s hand push him into the heart of the storm.
Here, geniuses cultivate inner strength with nanorobots, while heirs to ancient sects command mechs.
When Lin Mo discovers that the power awakening inside him is devouring his memories, he must unravel the mystery of his family crest, emblazoned with the words “Eye of the Abyss.” Only then can he find the “real world” that vanished on the rainy night his mother’s heart stopped, amid factional strife at the academy, hunts by foreign forces, and the backlash of the primeval power within him.
