The Last Witness

In a world where humanity’s last hope is a lie, one boy carries the weight of 200,000 deaths—and the truth no one else remembers.Gu Cun was never supposed to survive.In 2692, he watched 200,000 people walk into the Time Gate, believing they were saving humanity. They died thinking they had succeeded. He was the only one who knew the truth: they failed. Now, he has returned to 2026, carrying the fragmented knowledge of all the dead Dao masters, the weight of 666 years of failure, and a list of 666 names—each a soul he must find, release, or prepare before the apocalypse comes again.But Gu Cun isn’t here to change the future. He’s here to make the past mean something.In a world where ghosts evolve, rules are the only law, and every advancement costs him a piece of his humanity, Gu Cun must navigate a conspiracy older than time itself. The books humanity follows as gospel? Instructions written by the thing trying to destroy them. The underground cities built for safety? A cage designed to soften souls for the harvest. And the Entity waiting at the end of it all? It doesn’t want to kill him.It wants him to understand.With only a silent spirit in a bag, a list of names, and a torn page from a forbidden book, Gu Cun walks the line between witness and weapon, memory and monster. Because the Entity doesn’t just want his life.It wants his voice.And the only thing worse than speaking its name?Is realizing he might already know it.
