A strange thunderstorm awakens a mysterious power in the right eye of Lin Shen, an ordinary university student: he can see the threads of fate wrapped around people. At the same time, a bronze compass tears through the air and points toward a shocking secret hidden in the city's shadows.
When a monster assembled from twisted limbs crawls out of an abandoned hospital, and a black-clad adjudicator fights a bloody battle to protect him, Lin Shen realizes he has become caught up in a conspiracy spanning twenty years. Twenty years ago, a forbidden experiment at Jiangcheng's underground research facility attempted to open a passage through fate using the Observer's Eye. After it failed, twisted creatures ran rampant, and the people in white masks continued searching for the key to restart the experiment: the bronze compass in Lin Shen's hand.
The wheels of fate begin to turn. Led by the adjudicator, Lin Shen sets out to confront the unknown darkness. But as his powers awaken, he discovers that countless people's fates across the city are being consumed by invisible shadows, while the vast conspiracy hidden above the clouds has only just begun to reveal the tip of the iceberg... Is the Observer's Eye a hope for salvation, or the beginning of destruction?
