The world burns up and order collapses.
When the brilliance of the gods turns into "embers" all over the earth, mortals who touch it will either go crazy, become deformed, or gain powers beyond imagination.
"Ember Knights", a group of scavengers walking on the edge of destruction. They chase, contain, and control these remnants from the old era. They are guards in the darkness and monsters that everyone fears.
Lin Ke, the youngest and "cheapest" Emberfire Knight in Baidi City. He is greedy for money and foul-mouthed, and his life-long dream is to save enough money to buy a house within the city walls with direct sunlight.
Until that day, he picked up a golden "ember" from a corpse that shouldn't exist.
That flame is not burning wood, not the soul, but... The "reality" forgotten by the world.
From then on, the city made of lies began to shake, the sleeping giant opened its eyes, and the forgotten history played the overture. Lin Ke was forced to embark on a road of no return.
Will he become the rebel of this era, the sinner who steals the power of the gods, or... The only hope to burn everything and bring about new life?
"Don't talk to me about righteousness. I just want to live. By the way... Let those guys who treat me like a dog have a taste of what it's like to be a dog." - Lin Ke.
