Ji Xun is a data analyst living a mediocre life in the central area of Orion. Three years ago, his father Ji Yuanshan - a low-level herder with an F rating - died alone in his pastoral area, and his ashes were scattered into the stellar wind.
Ji Xun has almost no memory of his father. This man left when he was twelve years old and did not see each other again for sixteen years. All that was left was a desolate legacy marked as the "Death Star Field" and a debt equal to the value of the legacy.
In order to deal with this debt, Ji Xun had to go to the K-7749 star field that his father once guarded. His plan was simple: take a look, sign the papers disowning his inheritance, and get back to living his life.
But in the deepest part of the star field, in the core of the gray-white planet marked as "dead" in the files, he heard a voice through the spacecraft's resonance detector——
A weak, ancient heartbeat.
That's not a dead planet.
It was an ancient civilization that was about to awaken.
And his father, Ji Yuanshan, spent sixteen years alone guarding this secret that could subvert the existing order of the universe.
