The Seventh Pulse

Twenty-two years ago, the sky cracked. The rules of the world shattered: birth, aging, sickness, death, time, distance—all thrown into chaos. The broken rules became "anomalies," lurking in the disordered zones and devouring people; the seven largest fragments became seven King Cards, falling into the hands of seven individuals. Shen Yan, a watch repairer in Linjiang City, should have had nothing to do with any of this. Until his sister got trapped in an endless alley. He counted his steps and walked in—two hundred thirteen steps—and forcibly "straightened" the path. At that moment, the owners of the seven King Cards all looked up simultaneously. A package sent twenty-two years ago arrived at his door. In the sender column, only one word was written: Me. Only then did Shen Yan learn that a colorless card was hidden within him. Its ability was just one: Whatever he firmly believed in would exist. And the world had only one last thing to resolve—the crack in the sky opens every seven years, and on the seventh time, all of humanity will be formatted. Repair the rules? No, fixing them means rebooting. What he had to do was rewrite, to change the unseen Zeroth Rule. Some want to kill him, some have waited twenty-two years for him, some want to see how he believes. Before the seventh pulse of the sky crack, he must make the world believe one thing: Rules are made by people. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Seventh Pulse — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
