[Villainous protagonist + ruthless decisiveness + evolving supernatural powers + nonstop thrills + rich worldbuilding + multiple heroines + power struggles among many factions]
The moon hangs in the sky, and gray mist shrouds the world.
Our world is being gradually eroded, plundered, and remade. Countless beasts from beyond this realm have emerged from the gray mist, while moonstones falling from the sky take root in the earth and greedily drain the world's essence. In hidden pocket worlds, otherworldly beings watch everything in the human world with covetous eyes.
After the apocalypse began, Fang Xiang was beaten to death with a coffin lid by his older brother for harboring improper thoughts about his sister-in-law. Yet that strange coffin lid sent him back to the day before the apocalypse began.
Returning with the memories of his death in his previous life, he will uncover the truth hidden beneath the gray mist, layer by layer, and expose the mastermind pulling the strings.
Here, food is snatched at will, human lives are assigned a price, and kindness is nothing but a weakness others can exploit. In this shattered world, only ruthless people who cast aside sentiment and live for themselves can survive.
In his previous life, Fang Xiang was an ordinary man with a kind heart. He once believed in justice, rules, and righteousness, but cruel reality crushed every illusion he held. Given another chance at life, he believes in none of those things anymore. Now, he believes only in strength, results, and surviving by any means necessary.
He no longer offers pointless kindness. His only rule is to stay alive.
With nowhere left to retreat, he will never back down.
