The Extinguished Constellation

A year ago, Scorpio went dark in the night sky.

That night, everyone watching that patch of sky was dragged into a survival instance known as the Star Domain.

Those who failed didn’t die.

They became star fragments, frozen forever as tiny points of light in the sky.

Ji Ran was the only survivor of the Prairiefire Squad.

Seven people went in, but only he was spat back out.

After that, he gained a curse-like ability: he could hear the final words of every star fragment.

The night Libra went dark, he met someone inside an instance.

The man smiled and greeted him. “Hello, my name is Chu Yebai.”

After they cleared the instance together, Ji Ran heard a star fragment’s final words in Star City.

They weren’t about the instance or how to survive.

They were about the man who had just walked out alongside him.

“Stay away from that man surnamed Chu. He isn’t human.”
