When Lin Zhao wakes up, the world has already been turned upside down.
The once-unified Huaguo has splintered apart, and humanity is trapped in isolated cities, struggling to survive beneath the beasts' iron hooves.
Lin Zhao awakens from a long slumber with a one-in-ten-thousand multicolored talent. He should have been heaven's chosen one, but with cracks covering his totem, he has become an oddity among summoners.
Other people summon beasts in an instant, but his summons are always a matter of luck. They fail to appear when battle begins and only show up after it ends. More absurdly, his first beast slot has been inexplicably occupied, becoming an unsolvable bug.
No one knows that deep within those cracks lies a Qinglong, a Azure Dragon that has slept for hundreds of years. It is the ultimate trump card hidden in his very bones.
To survive the apocalypse, he is forced to form a team with a group of distinctive companions:
Su Qingye, a violent little girl with a huge contrast between her looks and personality; Lin Xian, a sniper who loves telling corny jokes; Shen Ying, an aloof assassin with social anxiety; and Tie Feng, a muscular giant who awakened a support ability.
A group no one believes in fights side by side in desperate circumstances, taking on both the peace faction, whose ideals clash with theirs, and the demonic forces turned by the beast nest.
When the Qinglong awakens, the cracks heal, and his multicolored talent erupts in full, his late-arriving summoned beast will become the apocalypse's most terrifying killing move!
This is an apocalypse summoning novel about a good-for-nothing's rise, a growing ensemble cast, and the arrival of the Qinglong!
The pacing is on the slow side.
