A cataclysm called the "Tide of Oblivion" swept across the world. It does not destroy matter, it only erases perception. When mankind collectively forgets the concept of "bridge", all bridges in the world will collapse silently; when the word "antibiotics" becomes meaningless syllables, all related drugs and technologies will disappear instantly. Civilization is regressing at an alarming rate, cities are reduced to isolated islands made up of remaining memories, and order and morality collapse in oblivion.
Chen Mo, a young librarian at the National Library of Ancient Books, discovered that he was the only one who "doesn't forget" when the end came. What's even more peculiar is that by touching the physical book, he can "anchor" the textual concepts contained in it to reality, preventing it from dissipating. A book of "Basic Architecture" can support a shelter, and a book of "Plant Illustration" can produce edible crops.
Books have become the most precious "weapon" and "fire" in this era. In order to protect the last embers of human civilization, Chen Mo embarked on a journey with a mobile library. He not only has to fight against the barbaric forces rising in the wasteland, but also has to race against the "forgetfulness" that devours everything, explores the root of the disaster, and tries to "weave" a future for mankind in a world that is about to be completely formatted.
