The Age of Urban Horrors

To keep his only family, his younger sister, alive, Su Chen struggles in the mire of daily life.

Then one rainy night, an inhuman giggle comes from his sister’s room. Only then does he realize that what’s tormenting her isn’t an illness, but an ancient curse buried deep in her bloodline.

At the brink of despair, he activates the mysterious System passed down through generations of his family: [Anomaly Containment Protocol].

[Protocol activated. Analyzing target…]

[Target: Grudge-class anomaly “The Whisperer.” Contamination level: 17%. Immediate “containment” recommended!]

From then on, in search of a way to break the curse for good, Su Chen embarks on a path of anomaly containment with no way back.

While everyone else trembles in fear before the anomalies, Su Chen is busy worrying.

“This ‘Mourning Ghost’ seems pretty good. If I contain it, I can enter sage mode anytime, anywhere, and stay perfectly calm.”

“That ‘Painted Skin’ isn’t bad either. If I contain it, will I be able to change my face however I want?”

“And this one…”

While the elite members of official organizations are still racking their brains over what to do with the anomalies, Su Chen’s containment catalog is almost full.

But he gradually realizes that something about this System isn’t quite right.

It seems to contain more than just anomalies. It also holds forgotten fears, and the truth about the world.
