The One Who Defies the Order

Lin Xun was an antiquities restorer scraping by in Haicheng, barely earning enough to eat. His nimble hands and keen eye helped him get by in the chaotic secondhand market. He thought his life would amount to little more than the endless cycle of rent and instant noodles, until he received an item that was “impossible to appraise”: a cold, heavy black stone that defied every method of evaluation.

When the mysterious [Order of All Things System] activated in his mind, Lin Xun was horrified to discover that the world he lived in was not as stable and orderly as it appeared. Altered history, buildings that vanished without a trace, memories collectively forgotten... Countless tiny “anomalies” were eating away at reality like a virus.

The System’s mission was to “correct” these anomalies and preserve the world’s order. Lin Xun became the one wielding the “scalpel.”

Yet every correction drew him deeper into a vast whirlpool. A pocket watch that could reverse cause and effect, a scroll inhabited by the lingering soul of an ancient painter, urban legends that devoured concepts... Behind these objects, known as “Disorder Artifacts,” seemed to lurk one or more beings called the “Orderbreakers.” For reasons unknown, they were trying to overturn the very foundations of reality.

There are no windfalls from the heavens and no instant max-level upgrades. Every choice is like walking on thin ice, and every clash could plunge him into an abyss. Beneath the neon lights of the bustling city, Lin Xun must fight not only the terrifying forces warping reality, but also his own doubts and struggles. When you have the power to redefine order, is the thing you stand for still justice?
