A Wolf from the Start

Can rules be corrupted? What about the human heart?

A disaster known as “Waveform Corruption” quietly descends. It does not destroy buildings, but twists the laws of physics, forcing everything to obey insane “new rules.” Ji Feng, a prisoner among the experimental subjects, used every ounce of his strength to escape the research facility. Now he is a cripple who cannot even break a chain. To uncover the mystery of his own existence, he is forced to enter the most terrifying nest of corruption: the Afterlife Orphanage.

His “teammates” are no more reliable. Mu Tianhe is the best person to cleanse corruption, but the price is that the world will forget he ever existed. The eerie doll in A Mo’s arms is his beloved, whom he brought back at the cost of half his life. Now she whispers to him, urging him to sacrifice his companions. Kong Xingyao thinks she is a candy-loving girl out for an adventure, until the candy in her mouth transforms into a giant that tears monsters apart. And at this very moment, Little Wolf does not even dare acknowledge his leader.

Here, common sense itself is a trap. The iron law of survival is this: every victory comes at the cost of the future, and every act of trust could hatch betrayal. They soon discover that they are not investigators, but sacrifices whose prices were set long ago as part of a ritual.

When their loved ones mutate before their eyes, and the mastermind turns out to share their blood, their fragile alliance crumbles in despair. They must answer one question:

Will they embrace corruption and gain the strength to rise from the brink of death, or burn what little humanity they have left to pull off an impossible act of self-rescue in an abyss destined to collapse?

This is a story about “the price.” Everything you hold dear!
