Human beings are scornfully regarded as "cosmic blind" by advanced civilizations, unaware that their own brains are the most precious "law fragments" in the universe. The mysterious reaper comes quietly, not to conquer, but to "harvest" this priceless resource.
Ling Mo, an ordinary young man, had his eyes mutate after an accident and became the only being in the universe who could "see" fragments of the law. He witnessed the "mineral deposits" churning in the head, saw through the "accidents" disguised by the reapers, and even gained insight into the cruel truth of human beings being held in captivity as "miners."
Alone, with these trouble-causing "eyes" in mind, Ling Mo was forced to step into the dangerous black market of the laws of the universe. Here, magic is hard currency and intelligence is power. He disguises his identity and deals with greedy interstellar merchants, ruthless mercenaries and mysterious civilization agents. He uses the "information gap" as a weapon to identify treasures, sell intelligence and set up puzzles.
From a "miner" struggling to survive to a chess player quietly weaving an "intelligence empire" in the darkness, Ling Mo risks everything just to lead mankind to escape the fate of "mineral deposits" and win the future and dignity of mankind in this dark universe constructed of cold laws and endless greed. This is a fatal gamble with the universe as the chessboard and the laws as the chips.
