Shi Ren has been cursed.
In his dreams, he always sees how he will die the next day: drowned, cut in half, skinned alive, buried alive…
“You’re next.”
A chilling whisper echoes through reality and dreams. When he wakes, he sees…
A figure on the roof of the school building staring straight at him before leaping to its death. Its shattered head lands at his feet, wearing a strange smile. “You’re next.”
At the orphanage, a swing moves on its own in the wind. Half a head is tangled in the ropes, humming a nursery rhyme, while paper dolls shaped like children close in from every side.
At the popular theater, drums and gongs never stop. The actors dance with eerie grace. An old, tattered wedding invitation is held out before him, bearing the words: “Shi Ren, we await your arrival for burial.”
…
Countless ghosts surround him. The supernatural calamities never end, eating away at reality and dreams alike.
His dreams of foreseeing death grow ever more dangerous, and the time he has left to survive in the real world grows shorter.
…
Only when the truth is torn apart
does he understand that every salvation was nothing but a lie.
At present, it seems that the protagonist is going crazy and the supporting characters are looking for a scapegoat. There is no clear main plot, which makes it very confusing. The protagonist's abilities are predicted in dreams and there is a possibility of death. So far, there is no explanation of why the protagonist is special, and there is no introduction to the profession he will be born.
