Where the Cliff Ends, Past and Present Begin

One character carved in seal script, and a slaughter that spans the ages begins. Ancient characters thunder across the cliff face. The jade tablet's character for “take” appears, and the fateful game, dormant for 120,000 years, roars back to life. Shadowy figures block the Fan family's path. A buried case from generations ago, when their ancestors sank beneath the river. Lu Ming's inexplicable 23-year fate, a shackle he cannot escape... All the falsified histories, buried souls, and lives laid out according to someone else's design rise from the dust. The annals of history, the human order, and the civilization of the ages that people know are nothing but a false cage, meticulously woven and maintained generation after generation by the Hidden History Society. People are raised as keys for the game, while fabricated history traps the world within it. Shen Du bears the twelve-character True Art of Humanity, holds the jade tablet that can break the game, and inherits the bronze seal of the ages. Every step, an art. Every step, a killing. The day the truth breaks through the earth is the day fate is defied and the world returns to what is real.
