In 2044, thirty million martial artists worldwide enter the Dreamland every night. If their dream bodies suffer a fatal injury, there is a thirty percent chance they will suffer brain death in reality.
With a blood vitality of just 0.3, Jiang Mian was branded frail by the entire school and wasn't even eligible to enter the Dreamland. Yet his mother would be taken off her medication in seventy-two hours.
He repaired the Zero Pod left behind by his late father and unexpectedly awakened as the Eighth Night Watcher.
While others drift through their dreams in a daze, he remains fully conscious. He can see monsters' weaknesses and wake people who are on the verge of death.
He earns power by protecting others, using screwdrivers, data, and traps to kill enemies far stronger than himself.
But a group of reborn powerhouses arrive with swords drawn, convinced that Jiang Mian is the future "Night Emperor" who will plunge the entire city into eternal sleep.
When the world's savior is branded a devil bent on its destruction, he must uncover not only the truth behind his father's death, but also who he himself will become.
