In a parallel world, mist has swallowed most of the land.
Jiang Yu died once. When he opened his eyes again, a bestiary that no one else could see had appeared in his mind. It recorded lost, ancient incantations, each more fearsome than the last.
But this body was locked down by another order: the six realms of the Forbidden Ruins, each one a barrier to overcome.
As he serves as a night watchman in the apocalypse, he also investigates the “array core” that caused his parents' deaths ten years ago.
Someone is using the array core to sustain a living vessel, hiding at the very top and never showing their face.
The bestiary is his secret alone. And yet he seems to be utterly alone.
Only when the ancient gods of the mist begin to emerge one after another does Jiang Yu understand: this game was never meant to let him live long enough to close the net.
