Dawn of the Abyss

The moment the world collapsed, he was still hesitating. Eighteen-year-old Jiang Lai, an orphan and miner, has a younger brother who needs his desperate protection. What he is best at in this life is patience. Endure hunger, endure bullying, endure unfairness - use caution to wrap yourself into a shadow that no one will notice. Until his eighteenth birthday, the mine collapsed into the center of the earth. Deep underground is a world without the sun - the "Abyss". Darkness, scorching heat, depleted resources, and ancient behemoths are rampant. The only law is that the weak eat the strong. Here, hesitation is not caution, it is murder. Jiang Lai survived because he had an unwanted talent: he could "hear" the sounds of the abyss. The person who rescued him was named Yuan. The last resonance master of the Abyss, a monster who has lived for two hundred years, is cold and calculating, pushing Jiang Lai to death time and time again - not to kill him, but to crush the weakness in his bones inch by inch. "Hate can keep people alive better than love." Yuan said. But Jiang Lai didn't know that what really killed him would not be the abyss, nor the cautious self he left behind - but the younger brother he raised with his own hands. Jiang Ran, sixteen years old, has a more terrifying talent than Jiang Lai. He loves his brother, but he hates the world for making his life so miserable. He wants to destroy the old world, even if he has to step on Jiang Lai's body. "This time, I didn't hesitate."
