Ten Days to Burn the City

Seventeen years ago, the twelve first-generation Zodiac Executioners entered the game, laying down their lives to establish twelve seals that would protect the human world. In exchange, they won seventeen years of peace.

Seventeen years later, the seals shattered, and the Void descended.

Black fog swallowed the land, monsters slaughtered the living, and the cycle game once known as Ember City became a foothold for the Void's invasion of the human world.

Chen Jin awoke from a dead-end loop of thirty-seven reincarnations. He inherited the Goat Executioner's badge, along with the will to protect that had endured for seventeen years.

He had no Ember Power, yet he could read every line of code in Ember City. He was confined to a corner of the Gobi Desert, yet he could set the hearts of all twelve defense lines across the country racing.

When all twelve rifts erupted at once, when the will of the Lord of the Void covered the entire land, and when the human world was on the verge of falling into eternal night,

twelve Executioners from every corner of the country stood on their respective battlefields.

Some were valiant warriors, some silent guardians, some wise leaders who saw the big picture, and some healers who mended hearts. They had different pasts and different anchors, but they shared one goal: to protect this human world.

When twelve beams of light crossed a thousand miles to join together, when twelve hearts beat in unison and shared life and death, when the twelve-star formation spanned heaven and earth and lit up the long night,

they finally understood that what their predecessors had left behind seventeen years ago was never a cold, lifeless seal.

It was an inheritance called “protection,” a bond called “living and dying together.”

Upon the ash-covered earth, the lamps of their hearts shine on.

Even if the road ahead is an endless void, they will stand side by side, using their own flesh and blood to protect the countless homes behind them
