On the day his mother is buried, Li Ping'an discovers that her body... is missing.
After his aunt schemes against him, he accidentally stumbles upon the hidden darkness of the world: shadow monsters run rampant, and evil gods lurk in the shadows.
A ring left behind by a mysterious visitor at the funeral points him toward Sea Goat Village, where he can search for the truth.
At the brink of death, a mysterious divine soul within him awakens, guiding him to gather the broken rings, all so he can revive his younger sister, who fell into a deep sleep while saving him.
To uncover the truth, Li Ping'an and his companions, who have faced death together, resolutely venture into the depths of the sea. A strange village beneath the waves, dangerous sea monsters, shadow creatures that can transform into anything, and the corruption of human nature... danger lurks at every turn.
Only at the very end does Li Ping'an realize that all of this is merely a wager by an ancient being. He is both a pawn and the player moving the pieces...
