In the seventh year of the Abyss Drilling Project, humans drilled through something they shouldn't touch.
Abyssal mist—a high-dimensional energy that can rewrite local physical constants—spews out from the cracks. Within three days, 87% of the world's surface became a "distortion zone": gravity shifted, friction returned to zero, the speed of sound was halved, biological orientation mutated... Civilization retreated into the shafts of high-rise buildings.
Qin Maoyuan struggled in the mist for twelve years in his previous life. After his death, he was reborn seven days before the disaster broke out.
At that time, he was still a fourth-level clerk in Tianshu Building. He had transfer orders on his desk and his salary in his hand. The first reaction in his mind was: stock up on water, stock up on food, seal the windows, and wait for rescue.
But he soon discovered that the "Abyssal Mist Map" accumulated in his previous life was only 60% accurate. The power game in the building was more dangerous than he remembered, and behind the transfer order, there was a secret that could subvert the entire disaster narrative.
Under the abyss, there are not only monsters, but also an "old civilization" that is deeper than the abyss.
This time, he won't save the world. But he doesn't intend to die again either.
