A disaster called "The Great Annihilation" plunged the world into eternal night, and ferocious "bright beasts" were rampant in the darkness. The surviving humans huddled in the last fortress city, relying on the "Hui Core" in the Hui Beast to survive. Chu Tiange, a scavenger living at the bottom of the Seventh Fortress, accidentally discovered that he could directly absorb the energy in the glow core, an ability he had never had before. This power not only brings him hope out of the quagmire, but may also push him into the abyss of eternal destruction. In a doomsday world surrounded by monsters and unpredictable people, Chu Tiange must make a choice: to become a hero who saves everyone, or to be a lone traveler who only protects himself.
