Lin Wan never imagined that a late-night trip to the public restroom in her residential compound, where her fingertip brushed against a lump of gray-green slime, would drag her entire life into an endless nightmare.
The day purple-black swellings spread across her arm, the hospital became a living hell. The infected roared and tore into the living. Clutching a scalpel, she escaped through a pool of blood and stepped into another world.
An endless wilderness. A giant dragon crouched nearby, and trembling survivors crowded the mouth of a cave. A colossal, slime-dripping monster hung in the sky, while countless flying horrors rained down, leaving blood and flesh scattered everywhere.
Everyone else fled or died horribly. Only she stood beside the dragon’s claw, in a forbidden zone no monster dared approach.
Purple-black veins crawled toward her heart, and the infection in her body pulsed in time with the calamity in the sky.
The dragon’s lowered, slit-pupil eye reflected her image. Suddenly, she understood
This slaughter from the heavens had been set in motion the moment the slime touched her fingertip.
And she was both prey and key.
