Chu Lin died when humanity’s last stronghold fell, only to be reborn three days before the apocalypse began. He discovers that he has not only brought back fragmented memories, but also the bloodstained ID card of his nemesis, Lu Chenzhou: the mad scientist who had been his sworn enemy in his previous life, yet took a fatal blow for him amid the tide of corpses.
When the two unexpectedly meet again, their wary glances conceal the same shock: they have both been reborn.
But as the truth behind the repeated cycles is revealed, they learn that the so-called “apocalypse” is nothing but a carefully designed hoax. The virus is an evolutionary serum, the cycles are a selection program, and they themselves are “test subjects” controlled by the System. Every death and rebirth is merely a reset of the data.
More terrifying still, this is not the first time they have fought back.
The remnants of the first twelve cycles lie submerged beneath the sea. In the thirteenth, they stand at a fork in fate. Will they become puppets of the System, or tear this false world apart for good?
