A hundred years ago, after the Crimson Moon appeared in the sky, all kinds of monsters, supernatural horrors, and calamities began to emerge. At the same time, extraordinary humans known as "Spirit Awakeners" were born among mankind, completely transforming the world's order.
Monsters are incarnations of spirits and demons: earthbound spirits and ghosts.
Supernatural horrors are curses, disorder, chaos, and corruption.
Calamities are incarnations of natural disasters. They do as they please, answerable to no one.
In this age overrun by monsters and ghosts, human lives are worth less than grass.
An "accident" took everyone close to Lin Yichen. The only thing his parents left him was a lantern classified as a "harmless anomalous item."
But Lin Yichen knew the lantern wasn't at all what they said it was. When the people from the Anomaly Suppression Bureau examined it, Lin Yichen watched them inspect thin air, while the real lantern remained hanging from his waist.
He explained this over and over, but everyone else thought he'd suffered severe psychological trauma and that his perception was distorted. That's how he became a madman in other people's eyes.
Only after Lin Yichen became a "normal person" did he gain control of the lantern, by chance.
