A sound like a heartbeat echoes in his ears.
Ancient, solemn ruins shimmer with light.
A terrifying, monstrous beast roars amid the rubble.
A sacred, towering silver giant gazes down at him in silence.
These scenes appear in Shen Mo's dreams. As a child, Shen Mo grows up dreaming of the giant, but the passage of time is merciless. Even the most vivid images gradually peel away and blur. Over the course of his life, he comes to understand the truth: monsters and giants exist only in stories and on screens. They are nothing but fiction. He thought that bizarre dream would eventually fade away as he grew up, becoming nothing more than a strange childhood hallucination.
But an unexpected disaster shatters the peace of everyday life, and a monster from nowhere begins to resemble the terrifying figure from his dream.
Fleeing with the crowd, Shen Mo feels a sudden, inexplicable stir in his heart and instinctively looks up. Amid the surging mass of people running for their lives, he sees a man walking against the tide...
(An ensemble-cast fan fiction with four chosen ones. It's a long story, so I hope you'll be patient and keep reading. I'm a new writer just making things up as I go, so please bear with me.)
