Under the surface of the peaceful modern city, unspeakable terror lurks. The ancient "anomalies" have never left. They distort reality, whisper madness, and covet the human world. The secret organization "Candle Dragon" stands behind the curtain, containing anomalies, guarding order, and fighting against the sleeping terror originating from the depths of the star sea.
Chen Mo was originally a promising associate professor of archeology at Qingda University. However, due to a strange excavation accident, he witnessed the death of his companions and was contaminated by an incomprehensible force. He was eventually diagnosed with a mental breakdown and was sent to a mental hospital for "recuperation."
A year later, Leng Yan, a cold woman who claimed to be from the "relevant departments", broke into his ward and brought the truth that subverted his cognition: he was not a madman, but the only and special survivor of the "divine eclipse incident". His soul had been branded by the power from the abyss and became a walking "abnormal beacon"!
Forced to leave and change his name to "Ember", Chen Mo was taken into the most dangerous and mysterious "Court of Ashes" in the "Candle Dragon" base. Here, dangerous beings like him who are wandering on the edge of madness are housed, and there are also cutting-edge research on combating "abnormalities". He discovered that the "pseudo-god power" in his body, which was regarded as a curse, was not only a beacon to attract terror, but also a sharp blade to slash at the gods.
However, the organization's use, the suspicion of his companions, the unfathomable layout of the torchbearer, and the cold will of the power in his body that tended to be "inhuman" all made it difficult for him. What's even more frightening is that his abnormally high resonance quality not only attracts the greed of monsters in the world, but also seems to awaken an ancient and indifferent gaze in the boundless deep space...
