The Record of Ashen Abyss Bone Runes

The eternal night has fallen, and the Abyss reigns supreme.

In a world where daylight lasts only two hours, blood-red moonlight drips with a poison that eats through bone.

The Night Patrol hunts. The Guixu Cult plots. The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion lights its final soul-burning lamp to glimpse the secrets of fate.

And Lu Zhaoli is the “calamity” they are all hunting.

On the night the Bailu City sank beneath the river seven years ago, a living spine was implanted in him.

It gnaws at his spiritual energy and devours his lifeblood, yet on a stormy night it tore away the last of his family.

To suppress the rampaging [Eternal Tribulation Bone] within him, Lu Zhaoli has no choice but to hunt those who want to carve out his bones:

The Night Patrol lampbearer’s azure flame becomes the flickering spark in his left eye;

The Guixu Cult saintess’s nightmare curse becomes a second dark-gold bone pattern on his spine.

“Are you the master of the Abyss… or the abyss itself?”

When a rift in the ghost realm opens a scarlet eye in the heavens, Lu Zhaoli grips the bronze mask his mother left behind and finally hears the roar that has echoed in his blood for a thousand years.

It is the remnant souls of the Seventh Battalion of the Night Watch bowing before him, the resonance of three thousand divine blades at the bottom of the Eclipse River, and the hunger rising from the depths of the Eternal Tribulation Bone, powerful enough to tear apart the three realms.

The dark night endures, and the hunt for sin becomes the path to enlightenment.

No one will awaken from this ravenous feast of devouring and being devoured.
