The world is supported by the "Tree of Origin", with leaves representing different planes. The wizard casts spells by extracting the energy of natural entropy, at the cost of depositing "entropy silt" in the body - a black tar-like substance that will seep from the pores and condense into tumors, eventually turning the person into a silent asphalt statue. Three major wizarding organizations are divided: the Tower of Truth pursues order, the Ashwalkers embrace neutrality, and the Whisperers of the Abyss embrace chaos. Aaron Greystone, 17 years old, is an apprentice at the Tower of Truth. The concentration of entropy in his body is on the verge of getting out of control. Before his disappearance, his father left behind a bracelet made of nine gray finger bones. Each bracelet is engraved with the microscopic "Entropy Stasis Balance Formula", which can convert tar into transparent mana. Deep in the pupil of his right eye, there is a greasy black vortex slowly rotating - this is a rare talent of "gray field perception", which can detect the subtle rhythm of the flow of entropy in the pores.
Reader comments
The writing was OK at the beginning, but it fell apart after a few chapters. It was full of tar-filled and invincible cool writing, relying on character dialogue to pile up the word count without a decent plot.
The story is good, but the protagonist's character is not likeable and the author's writing is not strong enough.
