After the world destroyed itself, it was rebuilt. Upon perilous cliffs, towering cities rose once more. Those known as the “Chosen Ones” move behind the scenes of reality, walking in the shadows of history. They wield extraordinary powers, revered and feared in equal measure. Some say they bear the will of heaven, and they’re as rare as one in ten thousand. But Ji Jue has no interest in fate. All he wants… is to one day see what lies beyond it. --- Four hundred years after the collapse of civilization, the world has rebuilt itself into fragile city-states haunted by disasters, plagues, and things far worse than either. Ji Jue is just a mechanic. By day, he fixes cars in a rundown shop. By night, he struggles through college as a mechanical engineering student. Orphaned young and cursed with absurdly bad luck, he has survived life by keeping his head down, working hard, and expecting the worst. Until the day he should have died. In a split second before being crushed by a runaway truck, the mysterious watch left behind by his parents activates. Time stops, and the machinery answers his command. And Ji Jue survives the impossible. That moment changes everything. Now marked as a “Chosen One,” Ji Jue discovers he can perceive, control, and even awaken machines, turning cold steel into living extensions of his will. However, his newfound power comes at a cost: a hidden world begins to reveal itself. A world of parasitic plagues, human-harvesting syndicates, and monstrous transformations lurking beneath the surface of everyday life. As he is drawn deeper into conspiracies and blood-soaked conflicts, Ji Jue must fight alongside unlikely allies, uncover the truth behind his past, and master abilities that blur the line between technology and the supernatural. From repairing engines to commanding them in battle, from scraping by to standing at the center of a rising storm, Ji Jue’s journey is only just beginning. Because in a world where disasters never truly end… Surviving the first one was just the start.
