Synopsis

(No formulaic tropes, no invincibility, fake System, no mindless stupidity, slow-paced and not a wish-fulfillment story.) The cracks Nuwa once mended have reappeared, and Void Beasts are running rampant in the human world. Lin Lan, a good-for-nothing struggling to find a job, originally just wanted to work honestly, save money, and drift through life in peace. But he gets dragged into a place called the [Void Realm]. This place connects the future, present, and past. There, death means the end in reality. Repairing cracks, hunting Void Beasts, searching for the truth… When one terrifying, uncanny presence after another opens its eyes in the darkness, Lin Lan realizes that this world is far more insane than he ever imagined. Some fight against fate. Some rewrite reality. Some search for something across countless worldlines. And he turns out to be the long-missing piece of the puzzle. This is the story of a good-for-nothing office worker struggling to survive amid breakdowns and sarcastic complaints. It is also the story of an ordinary person gradually growing into a Repairer. When the cracks open again, Lin Lan sighs and draws his sword. “So tell me, why does this kind of thing always happen to me?” [Urban supernatural powers] [Sci-fi apocalypse] [Mystery] [Lovecraftian] [Character growth] [Lighthearted banter] [Slow burn and foreshadowing]
