The Nameless Inscriber

Every person is born with only a hundred thousand words. Once they are spoken, the person dies. Wen Sheng's fate-word is zero. In Luoming Town, he supplements the last words of the dead and finishes half-sentences for the living. For three years, he has only wanted to uncover the truth behind his parents' death and protect that little girl who calls him "brother" and doesn't even have a real name. Until he finishes the last half-sentence for a woman who forgot her daughter in the street: "My daughter is called..." The next day, the entire street begins to forget their own names. The Civil Officials Academy comes to investigate, the Shoumo Sect comes to investigate, and the Fenghui Society also arrives. He studies his way into the Civil Officials Academy, goes to the border, and infiltrates the Wenyuan, only to discover: this world is a last testament left by the Ancient Literary Ancestor; and that testament is being forgotten, sentence by sentence. Only he, the "Zero-Word One," can supply the final words. But with every word he speaks, a stroke of his own name is erased. This is the story of a group of people: the girl who most wants to die, the proudest poet, the strongest swordsman, the greediest merchant, the most radiant holy maiden... each dies for what they believe in most, and he remembers their names for them. He must finish the world's last sentence before he is completely forgotten by the world. Even if, after he finishes, no one remembers him anymore. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Nameless Inscriber — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
