The hourglass mark on the heart is a curse and a key.
In 2037, the epidemic wasteland swallowed Shanghai, the Huangpu River surged with purple slime, and Tokyo became a "time cemetery" with suspended clock fragments. Mu Shi, the chief scientist of the Time Alliance, split into twin consciousnesses - a cold warrior in this world and an idealist in 2023 due to activating the forbidden device "Time Roulette". They share a heart, but are separated by broken time and space.
When the ♾️ organization hunted Mu Shi in the name of "protecting the order of time," tentacles that swallowed time emerged from the rift of the Shi Abyss. When humans were reduced to "crystalized afterimages" of repeated death replays, Mu Shi discovered that the time wheel was not salvation, but an alarm clock to awaken the monsters in the universe. The twin consciousnesses must be merged in order to become a "fire keeper" and fight against the Time Familia who feed on time at the core of the furnace left by the Time Caster.
But time itself is the biggest prison.
——The Time Cemetery has opened, and the firekeeper is coming with a lamp.
