Anyone who breaks the rules will be completely forgotten by the entire city.
They vanish from photographs and are erased from people's memories, as if they had never existed.
My name is Chen Mo. I'm missing an index finger on my left hand, and I always carry an old fountain pen in my pocket.
While others struggle to survive in the Rule Domains, I change a single character on the wall, and the rules have to obey me.
They call me the "Character Changer." The Bureau has issued a citywide warrant for my arrest.
Only one nine-year-old girl isn't afraid of me. She takes my hand and says, "Uncle, my dad told me to stay with you."
Her dad? The man who was erased from the First Rule Domain three years ago.
I thought he was dead.
Then I changed a rule and heard a voice from inside the wall say, "Thank you... I don't have to kill anyone anymore."
That voice was exactly the same as the girl's father's.
