Chen Dong

To rise from defeat; to revive amidst the dissipation. 
As the vast oceans turn to dust and the thunder and lightning fade away,
That strand of spiritual mist once again approaches our great world. 
With the shackles that bound our world now severed—
A whole new world of mystery and wonder awaits, 
As we turn the corner...

The Sacred Ruins
Is a story set in a post-apocalyptic world. A world that has recovered to a state that is roughly equal to our own world in terms of technology and culture, although its ancient history remains largely unknown. The story begins during the post-graduation trip of our protagonist, where he discovers some ancient ruins and witnesses “the great change”, an upheaval that changed everything. The changing earth not only brought about new, unexplored landscape but also sparked the evolution of all organisms. Plants and animals started gaining sentience and some humans obtained unimaginable powers. The legends, myths, and tales of old seemed to have suddenly come to life as the earth entered a new era where beasts and men formed factions, explored new lands and ultimately struggled for supremacy.
We follow the MC as he grows from being an eccentric young man into a badass expert warrior while meeting other funny characters and forming brotherly bonds. We watch as he falls into just as much hilarious situations as he does perilous ones, all the while wondering and slowly discovering the mysteries of this world. Just why was the world destroyed in the first place? Who or what had triggered this earth-shattering “change”? What profundities lie behind the process of evolution?

The Sacred Ruins

Transcending beyond the heavens and not even belonging to the heavens?


But it was definitely not a simple land. All laws were destroyed, and even the highest level of energy dissipated like fog there.


Transcending beyond the world. Could it be that that place had crossed time and did not belong to the past, present, and future.


That was an ancient and unworldly land that was engraved with the mottled aura of countless eras. It was silent, desolate, grand, and distant. What Happened Now? It was worshiped and opened by someone...”


It was obvious that its origins were boundless, but it was also very desolate.


No one knew how many eras it had been since someone had set foot on it. Some broken images flashed past, as if it was being worshiped.


One day, for some unknown reason, a bronze coffin appeared from the cracked plateau. Was it dug out by someone, or was it born after the Earth broke apart? It couldn’t be seen!
