Li Ming, a low-level "squib", struggled in the Noel College archives cemetery and accidentally picked up Victor's dark gold cufflinks, and was involved in the war in Garn's special world. "Operation Furnace" pushed him and countless low-level people into the "sequence of consumption". The sacrifice of his comrade Cheng Bing awakened the power infiltrated by corrosive energy in his body.
From cannon fodder to acting battalion commander, and then to division commander, Li Ming was tempered by energy and artillery fire, guarding the glimmer of Cheng Bing's sister Cheng Xue. The "Eternal Holy War" of the Main Empire is coming, and the Eastern and Western camps are fighting openly and secretly for the red crystal mineral veins. With the out-of-control power and the obsession of guardianship, he explores the way to survive in the ashes and fire. When ashes encounter eclipse fire, will they be crushed into dust, or will they burn into a glimmer of light that illuminates the abyss? This is an epic about the struggle at the bottom, the game of power and survival in another world. In the cold steel and hot blood and fire, the roar of dust against fate is written.
