The End of the Eclipsed Moon

[The supernatural awakens + rule-based horror + Lovecraftian cultivation + fast-paced power fantasy]

[Think it's an antique? No, it's a haunted object sealed away for three hundred years.]

On the first day Lu Li took over his grandfather's antique shop, he received a bloodstained jade hairpin.

The moment he touched it, he saw a death scene from three hundred years ago:

A bride plunged the hairpin into her throat, blood splashed across a bronze mirror, and then... she turned to smile at him.

“You've finally come, Keeper of the Seal.”

His left eye burned. Dark golden markings spread across his face, and a countdown appeared on his retina:

[Seven days until the Eclipsed Moon descends.]

[Three days until you are assimilated by the “Eclipse.”]

More terrifying still, he discovered he could “see” the countdown to death above everyone's head.

And the blind old man who came to the shop for tea every day had a number above his head that read...

“0.”

“Kid,” the old man said, setting down his teacup and fixing his pale gray eyes on Lu Li's left eye. “Your grandfather traded twenty years of his life to keep you alive until today. He didn't do it so you could go and die.”

From that day on, Lu Li was forced down a path with no return:

Gather fragments of the Primordial Eclipse, suppress the Gate of the Eclipsed Moon, and, in an apocalypse where the supernatural had returned...

Become a new god, or be reduced to nourishment.

“I'm not the Keeper of the Seal,” Lu Li said, gripping the jade hairpin as a dark golden light blazed in his left eye. “I'm here to put an end to all of this.”
