The Causality Journal
The day Lu Ming found a bronze journal, his life went completely off the rails.
“Write down a wish, and you can rewrite cause and effect.”
He tried making a bully break his leg falling off a rooftop, and making a teacher he hated embarrass herself in front of everyone. Then one day, he woke up and realized he'd forgotten the most important person in his life. Even the name “Su Li” felt unfamiliar.
Every time the journal's power took effect, it devoured his memories. The Zeroers, an organization hunting him, told him, “This journal is a relic of the Qiyuan people. It can reset the world's timeline. You and that girl are both keys.”
When the sound of a bronze whistle pierced the night, a pattern matching the journal appeared in Su Li's palm. Only then did Lu Ming realize their bond had been knotted into fate from the beginning. She was a Resonator who could soothe the threads of causality, and he was a key bearer with an awakened bloodline.
From the sacrificial altar at Sanxingdui to the icy depths of Kunlun, from a secret letter in Dunhuang to cracks between dimensions, the journal held more than the power to control cause and effect. It also held the truth about his father's disappearance, and the eyes of the “Observers” watching the world.
“Would you trade your memories for control over cause and effect?”
When the final page of the bronze journal turned, Lu Ming watched Su Li's fading figure and finally understood: cause and effect was never a tool for rewriting fate. It was the price of every choice.
Before their memories were devoured completely, they had to uncover every truth that had been altered.
