What does it mean to have truly lived if the world’s eraser wipes away every trace of your existence? Lu Mingfei, the S-rank legend of Cassell College, is forced to face this cruel question: he is the only person in the entire world who remembers Chu Zihang.
The former president of the Lionheart Society, his quiet and dependable senior, has vanished from everyone’s memories and reality like a precisely excised phantom. His files have been altered, group photos show only an empty space, and even his closest comrades look at Lu Mingfei in confusion. Once dismissed as a “loser,” Lu Mingfei now holds the sole token of proof, the demon blade Murasame, and has become an “island” standing against a world that has been rewritten.
But this lonely war is far more perilous than he imagined. The academy’s mysterious “cleaner” organization ruthlessly erases every trace, the Executive Department’s pursuit dogs his every step, and beneath Headmaster Angers’s seemingly calm gaze lies a brutal truth that could decide the world’s fate. Chu Zihang’s “forgetting” is no punishment, but a form of “quarantine” from an even more terrifying presence. His very existence has become an “echo” connecting reality to Odin, the cold law that seeks to reshape the world, making him a walking “source of contamination.”
To save his dear friend, Lu Mingfei has no choice but to strike another bargain with his mysterious younger brother, Lu Mingze. Bearing the bizarre price of having his “presence stripped away,” he ventures deep into a “looping prison” built from Chu Zihang’s most agonizing memories. He will face a soul imprisoned by fate and fight an absolute order that seeks to devour all emotion.
