When the apocalypse known as the [Twilight Protocol] descends, the world is plunged into a terrifying game with the fate of national civilizations at stake. The contestants, “chosen by the Ghosts,” must enter one “Anomalous Domain” after another, each governed by eerie rules, and struggle to survive amid endless terror and lies.
The victors earn their countries a chance to catch their breath.
The losers see their countries consumed by anomalies.
Lin Chen, a restorer of ancient books, is chosen because of a wound deep inside him that has never healed. He discovers that his pain from the past has transformed into a bizarre gift for identifying lies in the rules: [Truth Fallacy].
While everyone else probes the rules with luck and their lives, Lin Chen can hear the “searing pain” of a lie.
“Rule Three: Be sure to stay away from the girl in red in the corridor? No, it ‘burns’ when I hear it.”
“Rule Seven: Trust us absolutely? Ha, that one burns so badly I'm about to catch fire.”
From an abandoned nursery to an endless prison of mirrors, from the “Observation Tower” that sacrifices humans to his sister [Pandora], who has become a disaster, Lin Chen walks between gods and ghosts in a mortal body.
He devours anomalies, recruits monsters, turns his teammates into the sharpest blades, and transforms himself into an abyss more terrifying than any specter.
Is this the struggle of the weak? No!
This is a revenge plot that uses gods as sustenance and rules as stepping stones, a challenge to the ultimate malice of the universe...
“My name is Lin Chen. I'm a restorer of ancient books.”
“My job is to stitch the torn pieces of ‘truth’ back together.”
“No matter the price: becoming a hero, or... a devil.”
