The Otherworldly Inn: The Rewinder
When fragments of memory become keys between dimensions, Lin Yi awakens the ability to “rewind after death” at the moment he nearly dies, and is swept into the Otherworldly Inn, which connects countless parallel universes.
In the data prison of a cyberpunk world, he battles a super AI that controls minds. Aboard a colony ship in the silent depths of space, he faces the grotesque horrors of Cthulhu's whispers. In an arena where mythology has shattered, he searches for loopholes in the rules amid deadly combat.
Traveling with an amnesiac doll girl and a haughty fox-spirit hybrid, he uses his endlessly rewinding memories to overcome one crisis after another. But he discovers that each rewind awakens ancient genes within him. Behind the inn lurks an aggregation of higher-dimensional negative emotions, and beyond that lies the ultimate wager on the survival of civilizations across the multiverse.
Each instance is a proving ground for civilization, and rewinding is a pass that defies the heavens. When the inn runs out of energy and the world's timeline teeters on the brink of collapse, Lin Yi must choose between escaping alone and inviting the entire universe to face the ultimate instance with him. This time, what he rewinds is not just his life, but the future of every civilization.
