At midnight, Shen Yuan wakes in an unfamiliar corridor, the ring on his left hand burning hot.
A sheet of rules is posted on the wall. Where the fourth rule should be, there is a black crack.
Inside it, another Shen Yuan is turning around and walking toward the darkness at the end.
A scream rings out, and someone begins counting down: "30, 29, 28..."
The shadow moves first.
It grabs its owner's ankle.
This is Shen Yuan's thirteenth cycle.
He failed all twelve times before.
This time, he finally sees the truth behind the rules:
They aren't meant to be followed. They're meant to be broken.
