The Abyssal Script
Liang Wenyan thought he had left his chaotic past behind, living a quiet life in the city. But one phone call changes everything.
When his friend Zhao Heng becomes obsessed with strange, glowing symbols appearing in an abandoned warehouse, Wenyan is reluctantly pulled into the mystery. The symbols defy logic, twisting reality itself, and their discovery marks the beginning of something far more sinister. Whispers echo in the dark, shadows come alive, and an ancient, otherworldly force begins to stir.
As Wenyan delves deeper into the origins of the markings, he uncovers a web of secrets that stretches across centuries—cultists, forbidden texts, and horrors beyond human comprehension. Each clue pushes him further into a world where survival means abandoning reason and where madness lurks at every turn.
But the markings aren’t just symbols—they’re spreading, infecting people, and altering the fabric of reality. Now, Wenyan must decide: Will he keep running, or will he face the incomprehensible forces threatening to consume everything he holds dear?
In a battle against the unknown, Wenyan’s sanity is the price of uncovering the truth. And in this war, ignorance might be the only salvation.
Prepare for a journey into madness, cosmic terror, and unspeakable mysteries. Some truths were never meant to be unearthed.

Liang Wenyan’s descent into madness, surrounded by cryptic messages and strange occurrences, pulls the reader into a world that feels both familiar and alien.

While the pacing is deliberate, the slow unraveling of the mystery makes the eventual horror all the more impactful.

Even tho the horror element is magnified, but the pace seems a bit too fast, other than that the story seems pretty appealing
The Abyssal Script is a creepy, slow-building horror novel that pulls you in with its unsettling atmosphere and the main character, Liang Wenyan, slowly losing his grip on reality. The story is full of strange messages and eerie events that keep you on edge. However, the pace can feel a little too slow at times, and some readers might be frustrated by how many questions are left unanswered. Still, if you enjoy stories that get under your skin, this one is definitely worth read.
seems quite engaging for now, hopefully there's more chapters incoming
