Pact of Control

When the first line of blood words appeared in the blank "Wordless Blood Book" in the library late at night, Wu Chen's ordinary life came to an abrupt end. "You will witness death and then become it." Forced to make a contract with this strange creature that knew its destiny but demanded a cruel price, Wu Chen became a "contractor" - a rule bender who wanders in the shadow of modern cities. He touched the still pocket watch and exchanged his life for a moment of eternity; he lit the heart lamp and used memory to dispel madness. Every time he uses the power of magic, he is one step closer to "sinking" - turning into a non-person. But it wasn't just his personal tragedy. The ancient organization "Scavenger" maintains a fragile balance, while the fanatical believers "Reunion" are eager to embrace corruption. All clues point to a "lightless city" sunk in the gaps of history, and a desperate truth that spans thousands of years: strange things are pollution from other dimensions; "eternal night" is the end of the civilization cycle. When monsters around the world rioted at the same time, the boundary between reality and nightmare began to melt, and Wu Chen stood before the final choice. Inheriting the "Anchor of the World" means eternal loneliness and alienation, turning oneself into cold rules. If you refuse, everything will be silent. He opened the "Wordless Blood Book" and saw the answer he had already written on the last page. This is a story about price, contract and the survival of civilization. It is a dark epic that explores the final coordinates of human nature on the road destined to fall.
