Synopsis

[Rules-Based Horror + Thrills + Supernatural Mystery]

When black fog pours from cracks in the city and devours people, and every rule corresponds to a human life, no one knows that the source of the Cataclysm of the Ruins engulfing the world is nothing more than a father's obsession with bringing back his son, who died young.

Sun Tianyi, designation Y-001, is the world's only stable S-rank original anchor. A ship's-anchor mark on his palm can dispel contamination, rewrite rules, and raise a defensive barrier for groups of people. The price is that his memories are eaten away bit by bit. He can't remember what he looked like as a child, the sound of his mother's voice, or even the names of the companions who fought and died alongside him. Only one instinct is carved into his bones: save people.

From the Sunshine Welfare Home consumed by fire to the old bookstore that never closes, from the sunken Crossing Seas to the bottomless Sea of Consciousness. He and his companions cross one otherworldly realm after another, uncovering the truth behind Lin Moyuan's twenty-year experiment: twin vessels, the Floating Balance Project, and his younger twin brother imprisoned in the deepest part of the Ruins.

Their journey takes them through the ganglands of Eastern Sakura Isle and the theocratic church of the West, revealing a thousand-year-old secret of the Ruins: since ancient times, it has fed on the greed of those in power, expanding in endless cycles through human experimentation and the guise of divine authority. It has never stopped.

Zhao Gang shields a rift with his body. Lin Xiaoxia leaves a final message in code. Doctor Chen stands alone at the barrier as darkness swallows him. For ten years, Ah Ya lives at the border, becoming the foundation of a bridge. They say, “Live on for me.” They say, “He's not a monster. He's asking for help.”

Eventually, the Ruins recede, and the city is rebuilt. Everyone survives, but everyone forgets him. No one remembers the half-transparent figure, the golden anchor in his palm, or how he became the pier that held up a bridge between the Ruins and reality, a bridge called “Floating Balance.”

Rule-Based Horror Stories Where the Characters Don't Become Idiots

I’ve read lots of rule-based horror stories and noticed that most of them make some side characters ridiculously stupid. Are there any rule-based game stories where the enemies are genuinely formidable and the protagonist is just as capable, or maybe something really brainy? The protagonist must not be made stupid either!

Episodic stories are fine too.

The frame setting of the case is very interesting, the sense of suspense is created well, and some of the puzzle-solving sections are well designed. The pace of progress of some plots is a little slow, and the connection of a few clues is a little hasty. The overall logic is generally smooth, and it is acceptable to read at leisure.

Three chapters are updated steadily every night. You can rest assured to watch it, it will definitely not be interrupted. This is my first novel. Some parts are not very well written. I hope you can support it [Salute][Salute][Salute]

It is very interesting. Both the story frame and structure are very reasonable, scary and weird. The characters' emotions and inner world are also described very delicately. It is very easy to capture the readers' hearts. I was deeply attracted by the storyline when I read the suspense novel for the first time. It is indeed a good book worth recommending. Finished reading, waiting for updates, like, like, like!
