Cataclysm Era is a cosmic-horror novel. Its greatest BOSS, Jun Yu, is the most terrifying god-level calamity. His domain can move at will and appear anywhere, which is why people call him the Roaming Calamity.
They say that anyone who comes within a thousand li of the edge of his domain will lose their mind and become a corrupted creature. At the end of the book, his divine domain spreads across the land and annihilates the entire world.
Knowing that she has entered this book, Lin Xingwan is terrified, afraid that one day a mutated corrupted creature will devour him. Fortunately, nothing strange happens around him, and he even unexpectedly starts dating the boss of his company.
His new boyfriend is gentle and considerate, perfect in every way except that he's far too clingy. Little by little, Lin Xingwan forgets that this is a dangerous world, and even begins to wonder if he has entered the wrong book.
But there are always strange things:
Parts of his coworkers' bodies that don't belong to humans appear from time to time. The fridge is full of fresh meat that never runs out. A bone-chilling presence lingers through the night. In the hazy space between sleep and wakefulness, he sees a huge, grotesque shadow...
Every one of these things reminds him that this is a world overrun by monsters.
When the sun and moon rise together, Lin Xingwan remembers that this is how Jun Yu, the god-level calamity in the book, is born. He opens the door, hoping to find his boyfriend, who has gone out to buy groceries, and escape with him. Instead, a powerful force shoves him back inside.
A cold, twisted, impossible-to-look-at shadow reaches out as tentacles and coils around him. As waves of dizziness wash over Lin Xingwan, a pair of icy hands lifts him up.
“Where are you going, Wanwan?”
When the god-level calamity descends, the Security Bureau sends its strongest forces into the divine domain to rescue the surviving humans. The esper team cautiously explores the area, prepared to find a living hell, but the scene before them dazzles their eyes:
Birdsong and flowers, everything in perfect order. It seems as if the divine domain has returned to the way it was before the apocalypse.
That is, if you ignore the extreme contamination levels of all the plants, animals, and humanoid creatures here.
Interrupted during his courtship, the god-level calamity Jun Yu protects his partner in one arm and slowly raises his other hand.
Dense, visible pollution spills from beneath his palm, and the contamination meter explodes in an instant.
If the pollution erupts, the consequences will be unthinkable. The humans prepare for the worst, only to see the young man held captive by the god-level calamity tilt his head slightly and say, “Don't make a fuss. I'm here.”
At once, the pollution stops.
The espers, on high alert, stare in disbelief. Is the young man in the arms of the god-level calamity really the ordinary human they're supposed to rescue?!
What ordinary human can stop a god-level calamity from going berserk with a single sentence?!!!
*The monster sheaths its claws, only to kiss its rose.
