Ferocious beasts roam the Desolate Ancient Realm. Humanity huddles in the narrow valleys, on the brink of extinction.
Only by entering the Mirror Realm and clearing one instance after another, each drawn from terrifying legends of the human world, can they obtain the technological seeds needed to keep civilization alive and fight for a chance of survival for more than thirty million of their fellow humans.
Daoist Chen Qingxuan joins forces with Shi Yong, a hunter from the forest sea, and Su Ye, an herbalist from the Southern Frontier. They risk their lives to enter the game and brave countless horrors.
In the beginner instance, "Borrowed Eyes," they break the decades-old obsession of a blind woman from the Republic of China era, guide the dead to the afterlife with Daoist arts, and catch their first glimpse of the Mirror Realm's underlying logic;
In the reincarnation instance, "The Terror Cruise," they are trapped eight times in a deadly loop with no way out. Within a closed time loop, they defy fate and face the terrifying truth behind rule-based instances;
In the rule-based killing instance, "Final Destination," they are dragged from the sidelines into the heart of a death list. With unseen forces of cause and effect hunting them down, they tread carefully, using Daoist principles of cause and effect to defy the Grim Reaper's ordained fate and cut through six cycles of reckoning and reincarnation.
But the horrors of the Mirror Realm go far beyond that.
The century-old vengeful curse of The House by the Cemetery devours anyone who touches the water and spreads its curse for miles;
The seven-day death curse of The Ring spreads its vengeance through a videotape, leaving no survivors;
At the home of Kayako in Ju-On, resentment seals the house, and all who enter are doomed to die.
From obsessions rooted in the Republic of China era to Western-style rule-based killings, from Chinese vengeful-spirit scenarios to Japanese cursed infernos, each instance grows harder, and death closes in at every turn.
Within the Mirror Realm lies a terrifying ordeal where survival is a long shot, a deadly game where every step could be your last;
Beyond the Mirror Realm, the lives of their fellow humans in the Desolate Ancient Realm hang in the balance, along with the last sparks of human civilization.
They do not save the illusory masses. They protect only the comrades who have risked their lives alongside them, and fight only for a new flame in the human world.
They will brave every one of the Mirror Realm's countless horrors and bring peace to the human world!
