Three Thousand Snows

In the thirty-first century, a top scientific team led by Ruo Xing successfully extracted a new energy source from light: photons, ushering humanity into the era of galactic civilization.

Earth's technology then advanced by leaps and bounds, giving rise to three technologies that represented the pinnacle of Earth's civilization.

But these technologies were too powerful. To preserve international peace, Ruo Xing developed a photon ring and used it to seal them away completely.

A man is not guilty for his possessions, but for the envy they inspire. The International Defense Committee decided that Ruo Xing had become the world's greatest threat and designated him the highest-priority assassination target, with no one above him.

Forced to flee, Ruo Xing piloted a spaceship into a black hole. Caught in a black hole storm, the ship was destroyed. When he awoke again, a new world slowly unfolded before him.
