In the shadow of the ruined city, magic remains like festering blood, while technology erodes people's hearts with its indifferent gears. Xuan Shuo was once an abandoned disciple of the Forbidden Arts School. His soul was entangled with magic and machinery. He could neither belong to the decadent Council of Mages nor be accommodated by the emerging machinery cluster. He wandered deep in the Black Iron Forest, embarking on an absurd and dangerous journey in pursuit of the lost truth and self-salvation. The iron law of technology and the chaos of magic collided fiercely in his body, and he was forced to choose between two kinds of destruction: to become a soulless puppet under the control of technology, or to become a heretical god with twisted magic? The city gradually fell into silent darkness, and Xuan Shuo's every struggle tore apart the cracks in the world. Only on the edge of despair can he glimpse the glimmer of truth - perhaps destruction is the only salvation.
