During a global livestream, Lu Chen is deemed a “useless card” and is about to be abandoned in an Abyss instance. At the brink of death, the Miracle System awakens, and he draws the only SSS card in the world: [Old One: Lord of R'lyeh].
From a laughingstock at school to a miracle that makes projections of the Old Ones retreat, it takes him just one move. But when Li Taibai tells him he is the “miracle” foretold by the Heavenly Emperor to end the Abyss, Lu Chen receives an anonymous text: “Want to know the truth about your parents’ deaths?”
Beneath the shadows of the Old Ones, Cthulhu sleeps beneath the sea, Hastur whispers in the desert, and the Mother of the Void grows old among the stars. At the deepest reaches of the Abyss’s nine dimensions, the Creator’s final thought is beginning to awaken.
“The Old Ones aren’t my masters. They’re prey for me to devour.”
From an F-class nobody to the guardian of the nine-dimensional passageway, from standing alone to wielding twin swords across the frozen sea, Chen Mo will use the iron sword in his hand to tell all the Old Ones: humanity doesn’t need to become gods to protect its world.
Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking
