Text Retrospector

Every word in the world has a soul. One stroke of ink becomes a mark of time and sinks into the boundless ocean of literature. Xie Yan is an ancient book restorer and the last text tracer in the world. With his talent of blood, he can see the past by touching words, and he can glimpse into the past by reading ink, and look back at the real memories buried by the years. But lately, strange things have happened frequently: The handwriting in ancient books melts away for no reason, the inscriptions on monuments disappear into the air, history quietly breaks apart, and some people gradually forget their relatives, the past, and themselves... A group of shadows called Word Eaters appear in the world, feed on words, take pleasure in tampering with history, and attempt to drain the ocean of literature and make human civilization completely amnesiac. And Xie Yan, who was cursed by his bloodline that he could not live to be thirty years old, became the last person to protect writing and civilization. In order to protect each word and soul, and to protect the thousand-year cultural context, he used ink as a blade and traced the words. Search for the past in the paper, determine the world in the ink, and retrieve the lost soul of mankind in the disappearing words. "Words are immortal and civilization is immortal. I will devote my whole life to guarding the soul of the world. "
