The Last Believer

My name is Song Guinian. I'm an ancient-book restorer, earning 4,000 yuan a month and living in a bookstore attic. My only worry is that next month's rent is going up by 200 yuan.

Then, while restoring a Ming dynasty medical text, I found a black scale tucked inside its binding. The moment my fingertip touched it, I heard a dying voice. It belonged to Hebo, the ancient god of the Yellow River. He said, “No one offers sacrifices to me anymore. Find the last person who remembers me, and I can finally rest.”

I was dragged into the “Godfall Dreamscape,” where I piece together clues from the rotting fragments of the gods' memories. This is my power, and my curse. Each time I restore a god, I randomly forget someone from my life. At first, it was the name of some app. Then it was a coworker's face. After that, my mother's voice.

I can't remember if I ever had a cat, and I don't remember who “Su Wan” is. But my notebook says: Forgetting isn't random. Someone is being erased on purpose.

And Gu Yan, from the Divine Affairs Cleanup Office, told me: if I forget all my memories, the forgotten “God of Nothingness” will descend.

Now, before I forget everything, I have to find the last believer and ask that question:

“Is the god you believe in really dead, or has someone hidden them away?”
