The city lives under three ominous moons, cloaked in an asphalt darkness where ancient gods stir and everyday food sprouts eyes. Lu Kai died a rubbish collector on Earth, only to wake up as a deadbeat apprentice in a derelict supernatural item shop, his predecessor’s corpse still warm from a botched purification. With bills due and literal darkness creeping through the door cracks, he's doomed unless he finds a way to survive. Then, a bizarre 'system' activates: he can 'detect hardware' in any supernatural item, purify its curses, and even reforge multiple artifacts into something entirely new – and often hilariously, terrifyingly different. As Lu Kai transforms eldritch trash into potent, absurd tools, he discovers the true, twisted heart of this world’s 'pollution.' But what happens when the garbage he's recycling belongs to something far older and more powerful than he can imagine?
