[In a purgatory where flesh and data merge, he holds the keyboard that can rewrite life and death, yet has forgotten that the world deleted him long ago]
When Lin Xuan awoke amid a nuclear blast, half a bronze compass was embedded in his left hand, and streams of ghostly blue data pulsed in his right eye. This apocalyptic city, known as “Spirit Cage,” was undergoing its 1,024th cycle reset. A countdown hovered over his retina: 71 hours and 59 minutes until the abyss devoured every human consciousness.
Mutated creatures tore at the last safe zone, while a data virus turned living people into pixelated residue. Only Lin Xuan could see the death codes floating in the air: the “premature death parameters” coiled around newborns’ necks, the “self-healing program vulnerabilities” flashing in soldiers’ wounds, even the “world termination protocol” flowing through cracks in the sky. The moment he used his keyboard to alter the rules of death, the bronze compass began to turn backward. The price was that every restart randomly erased one of his memories.
“You don’t belong in this timeline at all.” The “Blood Dawn” organization hunting him sneered amid the data storm, its guns aimed at the only girl by his side who still remembered him. Scarlet code ran wild at his fingertips, and thirty layers of firewalls burst open in his mind. This time, he could read the classified seal on his own file: [Lin Xuan, ID 01101100 01100101, subjected to memory wiping 17 times]
As the death codes of the entire world began devouring their creator, did his shattered memories hold the final key to humanity’s resurrection, or the ultimate command to destroy the world?
Well, this new book looks good, but it's a bit abstract.
