Gate of the Abyss in the Age of Ashes

Day Zero arrives, and 99% of humans die in the radiation burst. A very small number of survivors have awakened the "Ember Vision" and can sense the dark energy particles "Embers", and become stronger through devouring them. But the price of cultivation is cruel - every time you open a main line, you have to sacrifice an emotion until you are no longer a human being. College student Yang Ran wakes up in the ruins and finds that his girlfriend is dead. He awakened his vision, saved the girl Diandian, and struggled to survive in the wasteland. In order to protect the people he loved, he devoured and became stronger again and again, and gradually lost his fear, anger, and sadness... It was not until he killed the high-level officials of Fire City and walked into the wasteland alone with the half-dead Dot and Dot that he realized that there was nothing at the end of becoming stronger. This is a tragedy about "success": he has walked all the roads and won all the battles, but he has even forgotten what it feels like to "win". Finally, he walked into the light alone, and the light went out. No one remembers him. The last page of Su Mian's diary reads: "He didn't look back when he left. Not because he didn't care, but because he didn't care anymore."
