The world is sliding into the abyss. The incomprehensible and indestructible “Spectral Shadows,” evil spirits that follow cold-blooded rules for killing, are reviving across the globe, ripping everyday life apart and turning it into a nightmare of despair. Yang Yun, an ordinary young man who should have led an unremarkable life, encountered his first Spectral Shadow in the morgue of a funeral home late one night. Relying on a nearly chilling rationality and a bit of luck, he paid a terrible price as shadows began to consume his body, becoming a “ghost controller” struggling on the edge between life and death.
To control the power of Spectral Shadows is to embrace a curse. Each time he uses their icy shadow abilities, Yang Yun’s body becomes more distorted and his emotions grow more detached. He walks the boundary between human and ghost, struggling to survive amid the power struggles within the government organization “Abnormal Strategy Bureau,” the scheming of private ghost controllers, and one deadly Supernatural incident after another. From the “Silent Hill Residential Complex,” where sound is devoured, to the “Ghost Tram,” which travels through the cracks in spacetime, and then the “Ghost Post Office” and “Ancient City of Guixu,” which conceal endless horrors, Yang Yun finds patterns amid despair, uses his wits to contend with evil spirits and human nature, and pays a terrible price for the slimmest chance of survival.
When the paranormal phenomena raging across the globe spiral completely out of control and the shadows of ancient beings descend upon the earth, the last surviving will inside Yang Yun’s body, almost entirely devoured by Spectral Shadows, will face an ultimate choice: become a patch that delays the apocalypse, or plunge into the abyss and become the next horror? Bone-Eroding Cage is a chilling, strategy-driven horror epic about rules. It tells the story of how an ordinary man, in a despairing world where evil spirits are reviving, gradually transforms into something inhuman and searches for a glimmer of light, however nearly impossible to find, in the eternal darkness.
