In the third year since supernatural powers returned to Blue Star, the tendrils of the Ancient God Church have quietly spread through the shadows of the city. They sacrifice living people to awaken the slumbering Old Ones. When the blood moon hangs in the sky, the city will become an altar.
Shen An is an ordinary student hiding in a university campus, but he possesses a forbidden ability that can twist "concepts." He can make "distance" cease to matter, turn "defense" into flimsy paper, and make "death" linger on a target for one extra second.
On the day the System binds itself to him, the first mission he receives is to establish a secret force capable of standing against the dark powers.
By day, he is a bookish top student in the library. By night, he becomes the "Web Weaver." With covert support from the official supernatural organization, the Dragon Group, he recruits gifted people hunted by the Church and weaves a vast countermeasure network across the city.
He never appears in the public eye, yet he repeatedly sabotages the Ancient God Church's sacrificial rituals and turns the plots of hidden forces to dust before they can be carried out.
"I don't need fame." Shen An watches the cultists on the surveillance feed kill one another under the effects of "conceptual distortion." His fingertip brushes across the System panel's newly unlocked "Causal Threads" ability. "I just need to be strong enough to nail all this filth back underground for good."
When the blood moon rises again and the phantom of an ancient god pierces the clouds, Shen An stands on the roof of the Dragon Group headquarters, with the "Web Weaver" army he built behind him. This time, he will make the very concept of "descent" cease to function.
Very logical, interesting storyline, recommended, stay up late
