In 2077, the “Deep Blue Tide” tears apart Earth's magnetic field. Mutated beasts roar as they trample civilization, and the Awakened use their supernatural abilities to divide people into ranks, while 99% of humanity remains trapped by “energy shackles” for life.
Chen Mo is the lowliest scavenger in the Seventh Safety Zone, dismissed as a useless “powerless.” When the blue glow surges across the sky once more, he awakens the “Eye of Weakness,” which lets him see the fatal flaws in all things: an old wound in a mutated beast's throat, a deadlock in an Awakened one's energy cycle, even the cracks of greed deep in people's hearts.
The sharp crack of a steel pipe breaking a first-tier Awakened one's knee shatters the silence he has endured for twenty years. From then on, scrap metal becomes his weapon, and unseen “weaknesses” give him confidence. He will shatter the rules of the energy shackles, protect three homeless children and help them survive, and uncover the truth behind the Deep Blue Tide. Does that blue glow conceal the key to humanity's evolution, or a tombstone marking the restart of civilization?
“So-called strong people are simply those who see the weakness first.”
