   Introduction to "The Mirror Never Grows" Blacksmith Street, East End, London. Tommy, a nineteen-year-old shoe shiner, reached out and touched the broken mirror at the door of the tailor's shop. A hand stretched out from the mirror and held his wrist. From then on, he saw another version of himself in the mirror and heard his mother, who had been dead for eight years, calling his name. There was a fingerprint on my wrist that could not be erased. A man who calls himself "The Night Watchman" tells him: You are "marked." The thing that lives in the mirror is staring at you. It will keep calling you, keep lying to you, and keep waiting for you to open the door and come in. There will be one more crack on the copper coin every night. On the day when the crack reaches the tenth level, he will either enter or die. What he didn't know was that this was just the beginning. Seven doors, seven gatekeepers, seven ancient beings sleeping behind the doors. They squirm in the depths of the gray mist, peek in the shadows, and whisper in dreams. They are waiting for the door to open and come over. Some call them "gods". But there is more than one God. Some are sleeping, some are awake; some want to destroy the world, and some just want to go home. Tommy is a descendant of the alchemist three hundred years ago, and there is a curse in his blood. He can see all doors. The Silver Mirror Society wants to capture him and open the door, and the Church on the other side wants to use him as a sacrifice. He could only escape. Escape into the mirror, escape into the depths of the gray mist, escape into the fate that he doesn't even want to admit. There, he will meet the reflection, the gatekeeper, the visitors from the other side, and the "gods" sleeping behind the door - each one has a name, each one has a position, and each one is waiting for him. There is someone waiting for you in the mirror. Do you dare to open the door?
