In a world where KPIs define worth, birth, aging, sickness, and death can all be quantified. Lin An has spent everything he has searching for the truth behind his younger sister Lin Li's drowning. She vanished mysteriously during a strange incident, and the desperate tide swept away both the family's generations-old taboo against going to sea and the cold strictures of the System.
He resolutely set out for the deep sea, the very place that had once made his bloodline ache. But on his first voyage, he encountered a fog that devoured everything, carrying his ship and his era into a forgotten stretch of time...
When the fog cleared, Lin An and his shattered ship had fallen into a forgotten stretch of time. Here, the hands measuring human lives had stopped working. Only the currents of spacetime and ancient terrors lurking in the depths remained. Cursed to bring about calamity, he must search this frozen graveyard of time for an answer that may not exist, for the people he loves and for the world, all while counting down to the moment he slips into an inhuman abyss. Will he actually find the truth and freedom he longs for?
