Urban Fantasy | Light Interstellar Sci-Fi | Mysterious Ancient Seals | Two Comrades-in-Arms

[Old-school, high-octane adventure]

Note: The story has a cultivation-inspired atmosphere, but there are no cultivation techniques or power-level advancements.

Every strange disaster stems from dark-matter mutations and ancient seals on the verge of coming undone, along with human interference using advanced technology.

Hunting demons in the city, and hunting those who wreak havoc.

.

How hard is it to survive in an alien megacity where highly advanced technology coexists with the atmosphere of cultivation and the occult?

Shadow-devourers run rampant, dark matter mutates, and bizarre incidents keep cropping up.

Xu Xingchen, a struggling migrant worker at the bottom of the ladder, scrambles to make rent by working odd jobs all day, asking only to scrape by in peace.

On a trip into the mountains to clear his head, he crosses paths with a mysterious person hiding countless secrets.

From then on, besides making ends meet, demon hunting becomes a fate neither of them can escape.

[No System, no cheats, no transmigration. The protagonist starts out as an ordinary person at the bottom of society.]

With no heaven-defying talent, the worker and the powerful one have each other’s backs and rely on one another.

They become comrades who entrust each other with their lives, standing shoulder to shoulder against one strange menace after another.

.

One bizarre case after another erupts, and layers of deadly mysteries come to light.

The two are forced into a conspiracy engulfing the entire city.

Is a hidden mastermind pulling the strings?

Are all three seals on the verge of breaking?

Or is someone trying to overturn the entire world?
