Lu Mingfei, End the Mana Ecosystem

Thrown into a post-apocalyptic nightmare in his sleep, Lu Mingfei awakens to find himself in an unfamiliar world where the land has been devoured by a mysterious entity known as the "Mana" ecosystem. Forests of steel skyscrapers have become lairs for terrifying Chimera, and the remnants of humanity cling to the edges of a shattered civilization, surviving only through awakened "potential" and unyielding willpower. Hunted by the beasts, Mingfei finds his fate altered when a bloodied silver blade cleaves through the horde, and a white-haired woman drags him back to a haven called Dragonbone Village. But the village's inhabitants are far from ordinary—an old man who brews detox pills, a blonde femme fatale with a talent for sleight of hand, and a spirited girl even more addicted to games than he is. They suspect he might possess "potential," yet Mingfei can only assume his sole gift is misfortune; why else would he have been sent to this hell? When deadly crimson spores fill the air and his new companions begin to perish before his eyes, however, the depths of his usually listless gaze ignite with a searing golden light. "Do not die." The ancient Word echoes, unlocking a forbidden power that reverses the very laws of life and death in this dying world. Shattered bodies reform, fading souls return—and in that moment of miracle, something colossal lurking in the shadows turns its hungry attention toward this impossible "outsider."
