Realm of the Lost: The Final Maze

In the year 500 of the Xizhu Calendar, only one world remains: a vast labyrinth known as the Lost Realm. Once every month, the Chaos Tide arrives on schedule, bringing billions of monstrous beings pouring out in force. It also sweeps away the humans beyond the city walls, turning them into the eternally “Lost.” Pale knights atop skeletal dragons form a deathly battle array and dive from the heavens; Abyssal Drowners climb the embankments, whispering like the tide as they slowly gnaw away at bone; The monstrous horde stretches beyond the horizon, like a nightmare spilling over the barricades; And that wandering ancient god is biting stars apart, one mouthful at a time. Humanity is trapped behind the last four city gates, raising a wall of flesh and blood called “hope” with flesh, blood, and technology. Si Chen, a Chosen of Destiny from the Eastern Court of Xiyao, has the Scholar talent. He can hear the whispers of the dead and hone knowledge into a blade sharper than a starship. From a lazy slacker to a pillar of humanity, he resolves to explore the labyrinth and find a way forward for humankind. He crosses fire and blood, strides through steam, and shatters the abyss and the thrones of gods, all so that before the labyrinth turns again, he can write the words “go home” into the universe’s most unyielding laws for everyone still alive. “This time, we will not lose our way again.”
