Synopsis

Seven hundred years ago, twelve suns fell from the sky. Humanity rebuilt civilization with the help of a mysterious energy called Lawfire, and unearthed twelve colossal weapons from the ruins, weapons capable of deciding the outcome of wars: the King’s Remains.

Seventeen-year-old clockmaker’s apprentice Yin Yao wants nothing more than to live in peace in the border city of Mistport. Then war arrives, and the pocket watch his mother left him suddenly awakens. It leads him beneath a church and stirs a thirteenth King’s Remains, one that has never existed in recorded history.

From that moment on, the Empire, the North, and the Holy See all begin hunting for his secret.

More terrifying still, Yin Yao gradually discovers that the King’s Remains burn not energy, but human memories. The history of seven hundred years ago may also be a carefully woven lie.

When forgetting becomes power, and peace demands the surrender of freedom, he must decide: should the gods choose for humanity, or should people bear the consequences of their own choices?

It's so upsetting to keep seeing the stats barely change. The reader count doesn't go up at all, and there isn't a single comment. Hardly anyone reads the whole book, and by the last chapter, almost no one is still reading. New authors, let's support one another.

54 days. I finished my first book on day 45: 320,000 words, writing for 8–12 hours a day. I’m now planning my second book, but nobody’s reading the first one anymore. Is it really that bad? Am I just someone with no talent? (sobbing)
