Hermes, a vast city of interlocking gears and whispering steam. In its shadows, things stranger than criminals roam.
My name is Gu Yang. I transmigrated into this world as a rookie police officer, dropped straight into a murder scene to investigate a string of serial killings...
They say I awakened a talent and became an “occultist.”
The truth is, I merely learned how to make this city a little more insane.
When victims' organs are displayed as works of art, when the clock tower's shadow begins to whisper, when the guardians of order we trust most weave a ritual circle in the dead of night to sacrifice the entire city...
I realized the best way to fight madness is to become even more unpredictable.
I trade illusions for the truth on this battlefield where reality and delusion can no longer be told apart. The only person I can trust is myself.
Welcome to Hermes. Here, your eyes will deceive you and your memories will betray you. The next person you pass on the street may no longer be human...
