Rules Break: Starting at Midnight

[Mutation file number: 001] Recorder: Chen Mo Status: alive The world is not destroyed all at once, it slowly decays through "rule overrides" one after another. High-rise buildings turned into ancient tombs and temples overnight, and prosperous cities turned into a realm full of malicious ghost stories. The country has established a beacon of order, and we, the scavengers, are responsible for looking for the remnants of the old era in the shadows that the lighthouse cannot reach. Some people say that this is punishment from the gods; some people say that this is an invasion from higher dimensions. I don't care about the truth, I just care about how to survive. Until that day, I discovered that I could see those invisible "lines". In my eyes, those absolute rules that govern life and death, humans and ghosts are just lines of code that can be tampered with. This is a story about collapse, recovery, and the usurpation of divine power in despair. If you pick up this notebook, please remember: Don't trust any rules you see unless – I wrote them down.
