【Devil's Island】The fog swallows the ships, and no one can leave Avalon alive. Catherine, an exile of the Empire, possessed a chillingly rational mind. She came to Devil's Island not to die, but to dissect it. To others, it was a monster; to others, it was ruins; to her, it was an engineering puzzle. When a stranded Imperial warship crashes ashore, Avalon's fragile peace is shattered. Now, Catherine is caught between the fanatical remnants of the Holy Light and the mysterious "traitors" of Avalon, and she must lead a group of exiled young people to survive. Her only weapons are her notebook and her obsession with forging monster bones into steel. She will prove that on this island, kindness is a luxury, and science is the true weapon. "The world doesn't care about your prayers, it only cares about your precision." "Note: This story contains detailed descriptions of combat, biological anatomy, and war trauma, and is intended for adult readers."
