Emotions are the only resource for cultivation in this world.
Rage can set a city ablaze, fear can freeze the sea, and grief can drown an entire nation.
Three thousand years ago, the Five Realms fell into an arms race of emotions: the more extreme your feelings, the stronger you became; the stronger you became, the emptier you felt.
The protagonist comes from a "blank land" where all emotions have been completely erased.
In this world, he is the "weakest" person.
And also the "purest."
His ability is not to "absorb" emotions, but to "purify" them.
He cannot grow stronger by spreading fear, but he can bring calm to those consumed by it.
He cannot fight by stoking rage, but he can turn burning anger into a flame of protection.
He travels across the Five Realms, purifying countless people.
But he never tells anyone the price.
The purified emotions do not disappear. They are sealed inside him.
He thinks he is empty, but in truth, he is a graveyard of emotions.
The grief of ten thousand people, the rage of three thousand, the fear of two thousand, all reside within him.
Every night, they burn him from within.
And his closest companions each bear wounds they cannot speak of:
A girl who uses performance as her way of breathing.
A general who cannot stand without anger.
A doctor who operates on the grief of the entire world.
A guardian of the stele who burns through his life with every word he speaks.
When an apocalyptic storm of emotions descends, everyone places their hopes in him.
He has only one chance: use "Return of Emotions" to purify everything.
The price is that he will forget everyone, and everyone will forget him.
