In the year 2350, humans huddled in huge domed cities, avoiding the mutant beasts that roamed the wasteland. Social classes are strictly divided by genetic castes. Jiang Chen, a scavenger living in the 13th District at the bottom, lives a precarious life in order to earn money to treat his sister who has a genetic disease. During a dangerous scavenging operation, he was betrayed by his teammates, and when he was dying, he accidentally fused with the mysterious nanocore in a super-civilization ruins. This core gives him the ability to see through, analyze and infinitely upgrade genetic sequences. Starting from repairing his broken body, Jiang Chen embarked on an evolutionary path that defied nature and changed his destiny. He wants to challenge the solidified social classes, uncover the secrets behind the catastrophe, and fight against huge threats from humans and non-humans. He will rise from the dust, not only to survive, but to control his own destiny.
