The Laws of Dao and Strings

The universe is made of strings, each string a law, and every law is a Dao. They say powerful string-beasts dwell on every string. The ancient ferocious beast Taotie met its end this way, but what fate befell the one who followed in its wake?

This is one person's story, and the cause and effect of a Taotie. It is a life-and-death destiny, and a chance to return home. Can he seize it?

Hunted down, Taotie encounters a chance to continue the karma of its past life.

A young man who studies the occult and antiques: what kind of upheaval will his arrival bring to this otherworld? Can countless minor paths lead to the Great Dao? Can countless Great Daos give rise to minor paths? The Dao follows Heaven, while the number of its methods depends on fate.
