In the bustling yet mysteriously veiled city of Luocheng lived a young man named Lin Yu. With a slender figure, a handsome face, and a gaze imbued with an innate sharpness and curiosity for the unknown, Lin Yu had been able to perceive bizarre phenomena beyond ordinary perception since childhood. Late at night, for instance, he would hear faint whispering sounds or catch sight of strange, fleeting lights flashing at street corners. At first, he thought it was just his imagination, but as he grew older, these occurrences became increasingly frequent, and he gradually realized that the world around him was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Lin Yu worked in a used bookstore crammed with all sorts of literature, ranging from ancient tomes to modern bestsellers. His daily routine consisted of organizing shelves and greeting customers, but his favorite pastime was browsing through the weathered, old books during his free time, hoping to find clues about his special abilities.
One evening, while Lin Yu was tidying the bookshelves as usual, a book with a tattered cover and a stale, archaic scent caught his eye. It had no title, and both the front and back covers were carved with strange symbols, as if recounting an untold history. Curious, he opened the pages, and a faint blue light emanated from within, instantly engulfing him. Lin Yu felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar place.
