The Forbidden Records of Mist City

Gray mist descends, splitting the city into a patchwork of night-time forbidden zones. Monsters roam. Those who open the door live; those who hesitate die. Lin Zhou has no special bloodline or cheat. His only advantage is that he can see the rules on the other side of the door. Yet every time he opens a door, the city loses a little more time. The Seventh City isn’t growing stronger. It’s mortgaging its future. When the forbidden zones stop disappearing, the records begin to shift, and time no longer adds up, he finally understands: Outside the doors, they fight for the right to enter. Inside, they fight over the price. To survive, he must take back the power to open the doors. To save this city, he must rewrite the rules.
