In New Abyss, a cyberpunk city forged from neon and steel, technology is divine revelation, and code is law.
Lu Li, the small-time owner of a repair shop in the slums, appears to tinker with old cybernetic limbs. In truth, he is the last heir to an ancient family versed in esoteric arts.
A seemingly routine implant repair lets him glimpse his client’s death warning: Nightshade, a top hacker, is being hunted by the global giant Dome Group, and sleeping inside her mind is the ancient god Eclipselight, powerful enough to devour human consciousness.
When esoteric talismans collide with quantum encryption and peachwood swords strike against mechanical limbs, Lu Li is forced onto a road no one has ever traveled:
He must use divination to crack firewalls, rewrite low-level code with charms, and carve a path to the heavens through the divide between the data abyss and the underworld, forging a road that fuses technology with the esoteric arts.
The 72-hour countdown begins.
Behind him are the Group’s mechanical hunters. Before him looms the shadow of an ancient god encroaching on reality. At his side are allies beginning to awaken: Old Gun, the cybernetic physician; Luo Ying, the rogue agent; Luo Su, the swift blade; and Nightshade, the “vessel” slowly regaining her humanity.
This is the worst of cyberpunk eras, and the final age of the esoteric arts.
When Eclipselight awakens and all spirits return to one, only those who defy fate can, in mortal bodies...
ascend to godhood through code.
