Codex of Embers

Yan Sheng, a civil engineer who died suddenly due to overwork, traveled with his soul to the "Eternal Darkness Frontier", a borderland shrouded in gray fog. He possessed the body of a dying young man also named Yan Sheng, who had the blood of the ancient "Ashbringer" flowing in his body. This bloodline is the living key to the legendary "Crucible of Creation" and immediately attracts the covetousness of three parties: the "Silver Holy See" who declares him as the "Chosen One" and wants to sacrifice him to purify the world; the "Shadow Moon Clan" who regards his bloodline as the only sacrifice to awaken their ancient ancestors; and the "Informer" Council, which is hidden in the shadows of history and uses bloodline as a guide to weave destiny witchcraft.
