Preface
This is a book about "the bottom".
It's about a food delivery guy, a guy who ties steel bars, a convenience store owner, an emergency department nurse, a poor student in the computer science department, and a physics teacher who is forgotten by the students.
The only thing they have in common before January 15, 2027 is that it doesn't matter.
Then came the "virtual flash". A beam of light that should not appear on the earth, carrying a type of high-energy particles called "virtual dust", sprinkles down from the center of the Milky Way. It awakens some people, makes others fearful, and makes all established orders begin to loosen.
But awakening does not mean becoming stronger. Awakening means – you are seen. Seen by the thing climbing up underground, seen by the screening system, and seen by an organization called "The Cleaners". And your only weapons are the people around you.
Chen Mo is a "Hunyuan type" awakener. His ability is not to attack, but to connect - to temporarily fuse other people's abilities together. The price is body temperature overload, nosebleeds, and every time you use your ability, you will become the most conspicuous target in the virtual world.
This is not a story about "becoming the strongest."
This is a story about "not becoming an island".
Their organization is called "Spark". Not the one who can start a prairie fire, but the first one to shine in the darkness.
