The ninth floor had already been declared clear, but Zhou Jiming saw the final plea for help from someone trapped inside, reflected in a charred relic.
He used to be a contractor who made a living cleaning up accident scenes. Then one day, he discovered that he could see the lingering traces left behind when mythical relics were last activated.
Flesh that keeps regenerating in a cold storage room, the last bus that carries the living into a ruined hall of heroes, an apartment building frosted over in midsummer...
The accidents everyone else avoided became his business.
Investigate the scene, rescue people, collect relics, get paid. Alongside a Valkyrie searching for her lost banner, a giant's descendant skilled in negotiation, and an investigator determined to calculate every risk, he cleans up the mess the gods left behind, one job at a time.
But when different accidents begin repeating the same sequence of deaths, he realizes someone is using the entire city to reenact Ragnarok.
This time, no one is going to make the living die for the gods all over again.
