The Blind Boy’s Golden Eyes

Protagonist: Chen Wang, whose name means “watching over hope in the midst of despair.”

Core ability: Golden Eyes. This is not granted by a System, but comes from a visual nerve mutation and the awakening of his brain’s potential after an accident. The ability evolves in stages as the protagonist’s knowledge, experience, and state of mind grow, creating a satisfying sense of progression.

Core of this volume: The story follows Chen Wang from a blind boy in despair to someone who gains an initial grasp of his Golden Eyes ability, carefully earns his first fortune in the antiques trade, and makes important connections. The tone centers on everyday urban life, the struggles of ordinary people, and glimmers of hope.
