When the curtain of reality is quietly lifted and the world sinks into a silent doomsday called "grey fog," everything you know will become a footnote of madness.
Gu Chi, a skilled antique clock restorer, accidentally glimpsed the deepest horror in the universe. A mysterious device from an unknown civilization makes him the only person who can foresee disasters and use "black technology" to fight against the distortion of reality.
The laws of physics fail here, time and space are confused, and indescribable things wander the streets. If you look directly at them, you will fall into eternal madness. In this ruined city shrouded in cosmic malice, Gu Chi built his workshop into the last island of sanity and order—the "Reality Anchor."
In order to survive and to explore the truth behind the gray fog, he must get out of the isolated island, team up with a female professor who firmly believes that knowledge can save everything, deal with the forces of military officers who believe in iron-fisted order, and become enemies with cultists who embrace madness.
This is not a story about a hero saving the world. This is an epic about a mortal using the precise gears and circuit boards in his hands to calibrate the last trace of existential coordinates for human civilization in a cosmic-level horrific storm. When the whispers among the stars ring in his ears, how will he choose? Should you stick to the lone lamp of reason, or embrace the madness that brings strength?
