Thirty years ago, a "rust wave" sweeping the world brought metal to life.
Cars prey on pedestrians, bridges move late at night, and abandoned buildings awaken as city-eating monsters. Humanity can only rely on warriors and expensive anti-rust agents to survive in giant cities.
Lin Jin, a scrap sorter in the Old Market District, unexpectedly discovered that he could read the remaining combat memories of weapons and obtain lost martial arts from the rust.
But every time he becomes stronger, he will permanently lose a piece of his own memory.
Three years ago, my sister Lin Xiaoman disappeared in a subway accident and was officially deemed dead. But since then, every month, Lin Jin would receive a payment note from an unknown source: "Lin Xiaoman, the rent has been paid this month."
Until one day, the payment location became - "City Core, Station Zero."
And the city that was supposed to be sleeping is slowly opening its eyes.
