The Eclipsed are invading.
They descend in the form of "gods," parasitizing humanity's faith. The god you worship is their tentacle reaching into the First Dimension.
Chen Ting's mission is to sever those tentacles.
He transmigrates back two thousand years to kill a god called Taiyi. That god is parasitized within humanity's most ancient fear and controls the lives and deaths of a million worshippers.
The first three people all died.
His chance of success: 17.3%.
But the Eclipsed fear neither swords nor guns.
They fear weapons capable of severing concepts.
And every time such a weapon is used, it devours the user's memories.
The First Dimension is the world beneath your feet. The laws of physics. Technological civilization. Humanity spent five thousand years believing itself the pinnacle of creation.
The Second Dimension is the world of concepts. Laws and fears condense into physical forms. Humanity calls them "gods," "ghosts," "monsters," and "demons," but they are not myths. They are shadows cast by the Eclipsed.
The Third Dimension is the true home of the Eclipsed. Pure will. It is impossible to understand, just as an ant cannot understand a black hole.
