As civilization’s last embers died out in scarlet snow, Lin Ke, one of humanity’s final resistance fighters, fell beneath the claws of a terrifying alien species known as the “Calamity.” He thought it was the end, never imagining that death would be another beginning.
He was reborn one month before the Gray Mist descended, back in a peaceful city alive with sunshine and traffic.
This time, he was no longer an ordinary man struggling to survive in the apocalypse. He had returned with a pair of eyes capable of seeing the information in all things and discerning the threads of cause and effect: the [Eye of Truth].
[An ordinary fruit knife has a 0.1% chance of evolving into a “Rune-Engraved Blade” after being infused with “Source Essence”...]
[In three days, your neighbor will be infected by a newly hatched “Shadow-Eater Spider,” becoming one of the first urban aberrations...]
[Buried beneath an abandoned factory in the eastern part of the city is a piece of “Pure Source,” a holy relic coveted by Awakened...]
Armed with memories of ten years of struggling through the apocalypse and the foresight to see everything, Lin Ke begins a race against time. He stockpiles supplies, searches for future powerhouses, and snuffs out terrifying threats before they can take root, placing crucial pieces on the board of the approaching apocalypse one by one.
When the gray fog once again swallows the horizon and monsters roar out of the shadows, Lin Ke stands atop a high-rise, gazing down at the city he has sworn to protect.
This time, he will rewrite the despairing future with his own hands. He doesn’t just intend to survive: he will stand above all things and uncover the ultimate truth behind the apocalypse.
