[Chinese cyberpunk + urban supernatural abilities + black hole devouring + power disguise + remnant-core plundering + rise from the bottom]
After the sky screen fell, the elements from the stars within humanity were activated, giving rise to the Awakened.
Crimson Sun, Ferromagnetism, Cold Dust, Starquake, Tidal Blood… Every ability can be trained, and people can grow stronger by seizing the remnant star-dust cores of others.
Xu Chen, a cleaner in the Yugang District, awakens during a contamination accident.
Others have star cores in their bodies.
He has a black hole.
To avoid being taken into official custody, dissected by conglomerates, or used as a living furnace by the black market, Xu Chen can only disguise himself as an Awakened with the lowest-grade Dark Magnetism ability.
He has carried body bags, wiped away blood, and swallowed his first remnant core. Only then did he understand:
In this city, the Awakened aren’t people.
They’re resources.
And he’s a monster that devours resources.
