In this era, human consciousness is no longer a prisoner confined to the body. Through "deep dive" technology, consciousness can be digitized, transferred, and even immortalized. However, every deep dive comes with a huge risk - "fragmentation of consciousness."
When an illegal consciousness transfer experiment fails, the consciousness of the wealthy Victor turns into a frantic energy storm in his mansion. This phenomenon is called "ember echo".
Jiang Che is an "Ember Tuner" employed by the Space-Time Stability Bureau. His job is to clean up these dangerous remnants of consciousness, like a cleaner cleaning a "haunted house" in reality. He can listen to the last obsessions of the deceased and walk on the boundary between reality and illusion.
While cleaning up Victor's "embers", Jiang Che accidentally absorbed a memory fragment that shouldn't exist. This fragment was like a key, opening a door to a shocking conspiracy for him. Illegal experiments, missing geniuses, and the dark truth behind the "deep dive" technology...
In order to survive and to explore the truth of the world, Jiang Che must embark on a journey alone, tune into those forgotten embers, and find the only answer in countless broken consciousnesses.
