After the darkness

When the pale blue quartz second hand ticked its final beat, the sun rose as usual, proving the much-anticipated doomsday prophecy a lie. While humanity rejoiced, the true reckoning arrived with the falling night, plunging the world into thirteen days of sunless darkness. What followed was a relentless succession of forgotten catastrophes: torrential rains, scorching heatwaves, bitter winters, and devastating insect plagues. Then came the terrifying Black Tide, monstrous evolving beasts, and the total collapse of civilization, marking the brutal dawn of a new evolutionary era. In this harsh new world governed by the law of the jungle—where psychic powers, secret martial arts, and bloodline breakthroughs dictate survival—the weak prey on the weaker, while the strong unlock the ultimate mysteries of life. Amidst this chaos stands Lin Jue. Armed only with a mysterious, palm-sized forest capable of materializing his innate abilities, he steps dazed into the ruins of humanity, ready to carve his own path through the endless night.
