When Lin Che, a restorer of antiques, touched the pocket watch engraved with the character “Seam,” the gears in the city's abandoned clock factory suddenly spun backward. The “Rift,” where reality intertwined with obsession, split open and dragged him into a liminal space where the rules had run amok.
He became the one and only “Mender.” He could mend cracks in old objects, but also stitch up loopholes in the Rift's rules and even repair the lingering souls of human obsessions. But the price of this power was brutal: every time he used it, black mist seeped from his fingertips, and his memories blurred along with the regrets he repaired. Anyone who lost control would be trapped in the Rift's endless cycle forever.
An icy field agent from the Anchor Bureau holds him at gunpoint and forces him into the game. A fallen wanderer from the Bone-Eater Alliance covets the seal imprinted on him. And hidden in the half of a seal fragment left behind by his father, who disappeared ten years ago, is the ultimate secret of the Rift's origin. He must outwit the rules' deadly traps in the clock factory caught in a time loop, face his regret over his father's disappearance in a labyrinth of obsessions, and, amid the storm at the Fallen Altar, use the Mender's golden thread to weave shattered reality, regretful obsessions, and even the collapsing Rift back into place, one by one.
This is an adventure that uses obsession for thread and life for a needle. He mends more than cracks in old objects: he mends the regrets in people's hearts. He breaks more than the Rift's traps: he breaks the script fate has written. After all, the Mender's ultimate mission has never been to repair the past, but to protect the present worth saving.
