[Mutual Salvation · Divine Sacrifice · Strategic Rule-Breaking · Equal Parts Angst and Sweetness]
A protagonist who grows over time, with no mindless power fantasy. Every detail is carefully foreshadowed, making this a story best savored slowly.
“When I remembered everything, the person I loved was already fading away.”
Welcome to the Dream Erosion livestream. Your mission: survive the nightmares and uncover the truth.
Wen Zeming’s first instance was an apparently ordinary two-star town, until he broke through the plum-blossom-patterned earth in front of the mayor’s home and saw the rotting corpse beneath it, along with the mayor’s eyes, which instantly turned utterly lifeless.

Only later did he learn that there wasn’t a single living person in that town.
And this was merely the beginning of his journey to unravel countless rules and ascend to the divine throne.
He never relied on brute strength, but on exploiting and overturning the rules to their fullest.
His friend joked, “Wen, where did your germophobia go?”
He raised his eyes and smiled. “It evolved. I call it ‘tactical germophobia.’”
But behind every rule on the road to godhood lies someone else’s tragedy.
He once vowed to save everyone. It wasn’t until he became the God of Order that he understood: restoring order requires blood and tears as fuel.
“I save the world, but who will save me?”
Then the one who had once engraved divine intent into his very name scattered into dust for him:
“Shi Yi traded his existence for a clear path ahead for you.”
“Wen Zeming, may you find warmth within yourself as you fulfill your mission, and bring solace to the nightmares.”
