After the Collapse: I Survive with Items

When the sky is shrouded in mist, deadly rules and monsters descend. A glance, a sound, even a single thought can trigger instant death. Li Wei is an ordinary thirty-year-old office worker who awakens to strange powers in the apocalypse. He can draw strength from collisions between rules and give everyday objects entirely new laws of causality, transforming them into bizarre tools: a watch that creates a safe zone, a compass that points toward a way out but never stops babbling, a truck that can pass through cracks, a coat hanger that can absolutely be hung on a hook… But these powers come at a steep price. Every use brings a clash with monsters, while collisions between rules destroy his body and mind. More despairing still, the enemy cannot be destroyed: they have already devoured countless worlds. Faced with the sudden apocalypse, Li Wei chooses the most reckless counterattack: If the rules can't be broken, then rewrite them! He will offer himself as the price for one heroic heist: Not to steal power, but to steal the future! This is humanity's struggle to steal back the last shred of meaning for civilization from the depths of endless despair. Watch what you say and do. Stay alive.
