Port of Silence

After the world dies, the wreckage will drift into the depths of nothingness and pile up into an endless rusty port - Port of Ember. There are no system pop-ups here, no benevolent rewards and punishments, just dominoes embedded in the chest, and a set of rules that are so cold and numb: Become a scavenger, travel through dying worlds, recover the "remaining cores" that support the world's survival, and exchange them for energy called "embers" in exchange for the right to take another breath. The price is "rust". Some people actively embrace rust and tear apart their humanity in exchange for ultimate strength; some people hold on to a few "anchors" and linger in oblivion. When Lin Yan woke up, the first rust mark appeared on his left index finger. During his lifetime, he was a restorer of ancient cultural relics. He died at the moment when the warehouse collapsed. The last thing he protected was a whole shelf of civilian family letters that no one cared about. His reverberation ability is [Rubbing] - by touching an object with your fingertips, you can copy its structure and characteristics. The price is that the rust spreads several times faster than ordinary people. Others enter the dying world and head straight for the remnants and treasures; he first picks up half a copper thimble in the ruins of a tailor's shop, collects a diary full of firewood, rice, oil and salt in the scholar's old residence, and digs out half a stone millstone with grooves worn through it in front of the unnamed monument in the cemetery. When the core of Silent Ember Harbor begins to corrode, and when millions of scavengers face final annihilation, the three paths of becoming a god, transforming into a corpse, and dying together are before everyone. He wants to nail an anchor from the world to this dying port.
