Kiss of Neon Entropy

Across the vast universe, civilizations are strictly ranked, all serving as experimental fields where the Creator harvests "imprints of consciousness." When Blue Star's civilization became obsessed with AI, human consciousness stagnated, and its faint imprints were ultimately discarded without mercy by the Creator. Then came a catastrophe: Blue Star's coordinates were exposed, making it prey to advanced civilizations eager to hunt it down and seize the final "nourishment" released as it perished.

An arrogant advanced civilization sought to "catalyze" Blue Star's consciousness to obtain richer imprints, so it sent an oscillation wave of consciousness toward Earth, containing a mirror image of its own civilization. But they had no idea that their own consciousness was not the original either, but merely a reflection! This distorted flood of double reflections accidentally infused the true source of consciousness into the body of Ivan, a "second-class citizen" of Blue Star, in a forgotten corner of the world.

Ivan had caught his girlfriend cheating, been humiliated by a rich kid, and survived by selling his blood... This insignificant man, once ground into the dust, now held the universe's most primordial power and was forced to stand at the eye of the storm. Before the advanced civilizations' planet-destroying cannons arrived, he had to learn to control a force powerful enough to tear apart the galaxy. He would not only have to protect his crumbling homeland, but also uncover the brutal truth behind the Creator's game and fight for humanity's slim chance of survival amid the universe's flood of consciousness! A battle for survival, from the neon-lit abyss to the sea of stars, would be ignited by his storm of consciousness...
