In the year 2147 of the New Era, a dimensional radiation swept the world without warning, which was later called the "Gray Tide."
Within seventy-two hours, modern civilization completely collapsed. All electronic equipment was destroyed, the ecological chain was suddenly broken, and 90% of humans died in the disaster or were transformed into the walking dead. The survivors huddled in the isolation barrier, lingering under the shadow of gray erosion and aberrations. Strength is order, evolution is survival, and the Age of Ember Sea has begun.
Lin Jin, a wanderer who grew up alone in the ruins of the city, has been with gray fog since childhood, but has never been infected by gray erosion. During a high-risk food search operation, he rescued an amnesiac girl who was being hunted, and his traceable physique that had been sleeping for nineteen years suddenly awakened - the deadly gray particles that others avoided were pure energy that tempered his body; the aberrant murderous intention that others could not perceive was clearly visible lines of weakness for him.
From killing low-level aberrations, to stirring up trouble among the three major forces; from struggling to survive in the cracks, to stepping onto the singularity of the gray tide where death is inevitable. The corrupt order of the Federation, the barbaric laws of the wasteland, and the secret plot of the Trace Trace Church were revealed layer by layer in front of him. The clues about the parents' disappearance, the truth about the arrival of the gray tide, and the ultimate secret of dimensional fusion all point to the legendary ninth-level realm of returning to ruins.
When the whole world was sinking in ashes, he chose to swim upstream.
Is it to save human civilization from collapse, or to follow evolution and open a new era?
