My Feelings Are a Straight Line

In the year 2242 of the New Era, the Universal Group’s “Emotional Monitoring System” rules the world, quantifying and condemning every joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure. Ling Mo is a defective outcast classified as “emotionally colorblind.” His Emotional Stability Value (ESV) is an unchanging flat line, cold as a machine, and he scrapes by in a data graveyard.

To save his terminally ill younger sister, he breaks into the lawless “Inner World,” where he accidentally acquires a forbidden creature that feeds on emotions: a Chaos hatchling.

His “heartlessness” turns out to be the perfect environment for raising it. Chaos devours every emotion, evolving and mutating until it becomes priceless hard currency on the black market.

From the slums to a trillion-dollar fortune, he tears open cracks in the established order, only to draw the pursuit of the Skynet and the covetous attention of ruthless power brokers.

When Chaos awakens in its complete form, Ling Mo faces the ultimate choice:

**Use reason to nurture madness and become the god of a new world?

Or protect humanity by burying with his own hands the forbidden force that could overturn the world?**
