Grayzone Deconstructor

The world shattered after the “Great Fall.” Reality’s structure is being eaten away by a metaphysical force known as “Dust.” Memory, matter, even the laws of physics themselves are slowly and irreversibly dissolving.

The surviving humans huddle in enormous cities called “Bastions,” scraping by with the help of “reality anchors” left behind by the old world. Beyond the Bastions stretches an endless “Gray Zone,” where forgotten history and mutated monsters lie in wait.

Lin Chuan, a relic scavenger from the lower levels of a Bastion, must accept a near-suicidal mission: venture into the Gray Zone and find a “coordinate” erased from history. He needs the money to buy medicine that will keep his younger sister, who suffers from “dissolution sickness,” alive.

His only advantage is a strange compass that no one can make sense of. Its needle swings wildly without ever pointing in a fixed direction.

But when he enters that silent wasteland, where even light bends, he gradually realizes that “Dust” is not merely a disaster, but a “language” from a higher dimension. And he seems to be the only one who can “hear” it.

The truth of the world is far more brutal than the struggle to survive. What lies buried beneath the Dust: humanity’s lost golden age, or a terrifying secret that will drive anyone who learns it to madness?
