Wasteland Witness

Delivery worker Li Mubai accidentally enters the 'Wasteland'—a dimensional space composed of human civilization's memories. There, he awakens the power of the poet Li Bai's 'Song of the Chivalrous', turning verses into swords. He stumbles upon traces of his sister, who disappeared three years ago. To find her, he ventures deep into the Wasteland, befriending Mo Yun, a relic restorer who can awaken the spirits of ancient artifacts, and clashing with the 'Data Flood' faction that seeks to replace civilization with data. Poetic witnesses, artifact witnesses, technological witnesses—inheritors of different civilizations gather in the city's shadow. At the Wasteland's core, an ancient force called the 'Shadow of Oblivion' stirs, threatening to devour all human cultural memory. When oblivion descends, only what is remembered truly lives. — Description from novelcodex.org
