A black light on a rainy night completely changed the fate of Qi Mo, an ordinary college student. When he woke up from the coma, his right hand had turned into a life-devouring dark thing. An accident leads to the near death of his roommate, and Qi Mo is forced to flee the campus and step into the world of supernatural powers hidden in the shadow of reality.
In this world, Jingshi will hunt for those with supernatural powers, alien monsters lurk in the dark, and the mysterious organization Dark Alliance extends an olive branch to him. The leader Ye Xiao became Qi Mo's double-sided mentor, teaching him the ability to control the hand of darkness and warning him that all people with similar abilities in history eventually led to self-destruction.
"Every time you use a power, you are exchanging chips with the abyss."
As his abilities increase, Qi Mo discovers that the hand of darkness can not only swallow life, but also transform energy and heal wounds - but this balance comes at a heavy price. The black lines spreading on his right hand are not only a mark of ability, but also a curse that gradually erodes human nature. When he and the female assassin Lin You went from hostility to acquaintance, when undercurrents surged within the Dark Alliance, and when Situ Ying, the leader of the Pure World Society, revealed that he was the previous Hand of Darkness, Qi Mo faced the ultimate choice:
Should you accept darkness and gain the power of immortality, or might you cling to your humanity and risk self-destruction?
In this story of light and darkness, ability is both a gift and a curse, and the most dangerous enemy may be the abyss in one's own heart. "Hand of Darkness" will take you into a dark world where people with special abilities struggle to survive, and witness how an ordinary person finds the path to redemption on the balance of power and morality.
