In 2026, the mysterious space is not a disaster, but a resource.
Those who bring it out of the space alive can obtain "rule fragments" (which can be used to make amulets, weapons, and even extend life)
People with capital spend money to buy "death quotas" - letting others enter the space for them to die.
The protagonist Lin Chi is a black market broker who specializes in "purchasing" rule fragments for people and never enters the space in person.
Until one day, he was set up and forced to enter the "Midnight Elevator" personally.
