ASTROLABE REBIRTH SC NOVEL

In a world ruled by machines, one human stumbles upon a mysterious man whose presence foreshadows an apocalypse. Sci-fi meets danmei (Boys' Love) in this brand-new story by Arise Zhang, author of Legend of Exorcism and Dinghai Fusheng Records!

This is the new reality for the young human slave, A-Ka, who struggles daily just to survive upon the Astrolabe. After all, life on this planet-sized petri dish is no easy feat. Yet when A-Ka encounters a mysterious raven-haired man named Heishi cocooned along a desolate beach, everything changes. As foretold in stories, this stranger's appearance means life in the Astrolabe is on the brink. When all is lost to the apocalypse, what-and who-will remain?
