The Age of Falling Light tells the story of a world shrouded in gray, where waves of light beings devour energy and humanity is trapped in isolated domains, surviving on faint glimmers of light earned by hunting them. After losing his parents, fourteen-year-old Lin Xi enters the hunting grounds. He goes from numb struggle for survival to noticing that something is wrong, gradually uncovering the cold truth behind the domains: humanity is nothing more than labor raised by an alien civilization to cultivate light beings. With no superpowers or heroic bloodline, Lin Xi relies on observation and reason to find the truth. In the end, amid despair, he makes a choice that preserves an ordinary person's dignity, leaving an unknown glimmer of light in a silent age.
