Human Genome Research Institute

A catastrophe causes the genes of 2% of the world's population to mutate.

The bodies and mental states of those affected change to varying degrees.

Some gain stronger muscles and become impervious to blades and bullets. Others suffer mental distortions and create another world.

In the government's official records, the reason for all of this is listed in four words: unknown cause.

When Qu Li regains consciousness, he has just lived through the largest riot in the history of the Human Genome Research Institute.

More than half of the mutated people have escaped the institute, threatening the normal order and peace of human society.

For Qu Li, who has just taken office as director, this is an extremely serious failure in his work.

Worse still, at the height of the riots, he is caught in a mentally mutated person's trap while trying to save a researcher. He is dragged into that person's mental world, sustaining brain damage and losing all his memories.

At the criminal court, Qu Li solemnly places his hand on the Constitution for Humanity's Survival and vows to atone through good deeds. He will spend the rest of his life capturing every escaped mutant and devote himself to human genetic research, doing everything he can to change all this.

To ensure he carries out his duties, senior members of the Assembly send an army to be stationed at the institute.

Duan Heng arrives at this time as the supreme commander of the army.

The research that follows is exceptionally difficult. Whenever they make even a little progress, it is inexplicably snuffed out.

Then Qu Li discovers that the person secretly obstructing them is none other than Duan Heng, sent by the Assembly's senior leadership.

Is it a deeper conspiracy?

Or a truth that has yet to be revealed?

Is Duan Heng really just an army commander?

Whose hands will determine humanity's future?

When will the secrets of genes finally be unraveled...

[New Novel] The White Tower

Inside the White Tower, all is peaceful and serene.

Outside the White Tower, danger lurks everywhere.

Everyone who lives in the White Tower knows this.

Ever since Mu Qi was diagnosed with a highly abnormal mental form, he has not left the White Tower for a long time.

Thanks to his excellent service record and the many contribution points he earned, he is able to stay here and recuperate after being injured.

No one could imagine that the person who spends all day doing nothing in the tower used to be the finest Guide.

Mu Qi thought this was probably how he would spend the rest of his life.

But... every night, his nightmares take him back to endless primeval forests, boundless frozen plains, and the deep, shadowy ocean floor.

He knows he can't go on like this.

So, on a stormy night, just like a fearless adventurer in every story, Mu Qi evades the White Tower's security surveillance and rushes into the pitch-black night.

A little scene:

"You said... where are you from?"

"The White Tower."

"Never heard of it."

"What about you? Where are you from?"

"Over there, the Black Tower."

Following his finger, Mu Qi sees a towering building not far away.

How strange. The Black Tower looks exactly like the White Tower, except that its exterior is black.

"What's inside?"

"Friendship, love, and freedom."

"There's stuff like that inside a tower?"

"Of course. The tower has everything we need."

Reading Guide:

1. A Sentinel and Guide setting, heavily adapted and not intended for rigorous canon analysis.

2. Both the gong and the shou have had contact with other Sentinels and Guides before, but only in a team-work capacity, with no intimacy or romantic history. They are each other's only partners.

3. I'm bad at writing blurbs, so mine all sound like serious dramas, but this isn't one. Give the actual story a try~
