Echoes of the Abyss: Zero

After struggling for ten years following the apocalypse of “dimensional degradation,” Ling Yi ultimately turned to cosmic dust along with human civilization. This was no ordinary apocalypse: there were no zombies or natural disasters, only a slow, irreversible process of “reality stripping,” a cosmic horror from a higher dimension that “formatted” every concept and physical law in the three-dimensional world, even life itself, layer by layer.

Yet death was not the end. When Ling Yi opened his eyes, he found himself back ten years in the past, three months before the “degradation” began. He had not returned empty-handed: reborn with him was a fragment of the source from the end of the apocalypse, an “echo” of the cosmic horror that had destroyed the world.

This “echo” is both Ling Yi’s greatest weapon against the apocalypse and an abyss capable of devouring his soul. It allows him to see the underlying logic of all things, analyze matter, distort probability, and even… simulate disasters before they strike.

But every time he uses it, he takes another step toward the abyss, accelerating the arrival of that ultimate horror within himself. Before the “echo” assimilates him completely, he must find a new path to survival for this world.

This time, the enemy he faces is not only the coming apocalypse, but himself.
