Lin Yu was an ordinary researcher with an extraordinary passion for science. During what seemed like a routine experiment, he was in charge of operating a crucial energy core. But the energy readings suddenly skyrocketed without warning, far beyond the safety threshold. The lab descended into chaos. Alarms shrieked, and the equipment began to smoke and even catch fire. Amid the confusion, Lin Yu spotted the source of the runaway energy: a crystal emitting a strange blue light. Driven by an inexplicable impulse, he rushed toward it despite the danger. The moment he touched the crystal, an intense flash of light erupted. Space and time warped, and he was swept into an unknown abyss of darkness, where he lost consciousness.
When Lin Yu came to again, he found himself in a desolate, lifeless wilderness. The wind howled, and the distant mountains looked ominous and terrifying. Not only had his body changed, but strange fragments of memories had somehow appeared in his mind. As he struggled to make sense of it all, a melodious yet eerie flute sounded nearby. Following it, Lin Yu came upon a mysterious figure dressed in black robes in a hollow between the hills. The robed figure called him by name without explanation, saying only that the wheels of fate had begun to turn and telling him to follow. Uneasy but curious, Lin Yu decided to go with the stranger and entered the valley. Thus, the story begins.
