Black rain descends, and civilization collapses. Ninety percent of humanity mutates into bloodthirsty monsters. The survivors struggle to stay alive amid the ruins, awakening supernatural abilities that become both privileges and expendable assets in the new era.
Ling Ye awakens in a shattered laboratory to discover that he has become something more terrifying than the apocalypse itself. He is no awakened human, but a parasite: a human-shaped singularity fused with an unknown darkness. He devours matter and absorbs energy. Everything is fuel for his growth. Supernatural attacks? They’re just appetizers. He can mimic all things and evolve himself, advancing step by step toward the pinnacle of power.
But that power comes at a price: the devouring instinct inside him grows ever louder, while his humanity steadily slips away. Redemption? Mercy? Those are merely the dying cries of the weak. In this hopeless wasteland, his only goal is to devour every threat and control his own fate, until he uncovers the ultimate truth behind the apocalypse.
He is a walking calamity, a moving abyss. Wherever he goes, daylight itself is swallowed by darkness. Until he meets the one girl his power does not repel, a girl who seems to embody “purification.” She is the anchor holding what remains of his humanity in place, and the only glimmer in the darkness able to walk beside him.
This is a journey toward an invincible throne amid destruction, and a quest to seize the last dawn in the dark. When the truth about the world unfolds before him, will he be the black sun that brings the end, or… the only hope capable of devouring the dawn?
