The Disaster Zone’s Golden Ring

[Apocalypse + catastrophe + supernatural abilities + no System + no saintly protagonist + ensemble cast + fate + poisonous zones] What would you do if the world started shrinking? A catastrophe strikes, spreading out from Antarctica across the entire world. Driven by the disaster, people are forced to migrate in the same direction. They give it a name: the Shepherd. The old world order is erased, and Earth is divided into seven concentric rings of safety, each layer sealed off from the next. Society is rigidly divided into ranks. The outermost ring is the White Wasteland, always on the verge of collapse. At the very center lies the supreme Golden Forbidden Zone. The outer rings exist only to buy time for the inner ones.

Lin Yang grew up in the White Zone. His only lingering hope is to find his father, who vanished mysteriously three years ago, and decipher the notebook his father left behind, filled with cryptic symbols. When the White Zone collapses, Lin Yang is forced to flee inward. Along the way, he meets Ayou, a girl who has also lost her family, and Old Chen, a mysterious elder who knows what happened in the past...

He has no idea that the wheels of fate have begun to turn. He is about to face a secret powerful enough to overturn everything, while the mysterious bloodline long dormant within him slowly awakens...
