Burning Memoirs

The price of refining is memory. Every time you break through the realm, you have to burn a most precious emotional memory as the price. The higher the realm, the more you forget. In the end, you will forget why you set out and forget those who were the most important. Shen Qinggui, a young man from a mining town who was judged to be a "waste vein". On the night when the Ember Fire burned his hometown, he awakened in the ruins an "Ember Spirit Body" that had never appeared in ten thousand years - the only person who could recall his memory after a breakthrough. But every time he calls back, he falls to a lower level. He stands at the crossroads of gain and loss, walking step by step towards the pinnacle of power and the abyss of memory. He forgot his mother's smile. He forgot the faces of his companions in the mining town. He forgot the master's voice. He also forgot her smile and their first meeting. When he finally stood on top of the Ash Ruins and had the power to rewrite the rules, he had almost lost everything. The choice he has to make is: Is it to remember yourself and save the world? Or forget yourself and save everyone? "Use embers as a guide and burning emotions as a step." This is a story about "forgetting" and "guarding". How much memory are you willing to trade for a breakthrough?
