Tomb Raiding: The Grave Robbers' Chronicles Prequel: I Am Zhang Qiling

This story takes place before the events of The Grave Robbers' Chronicles. It tells how I became Zhang Qiling, and what kind of love-hate entanglement I share with Zhang Qiling.

Ten years ago, the Bottle and I made a promise to meet on a certain day, when I would take his place and fulfill an obligation. He told me I didn't have to go, because it might cost me my normal life forever, cut me off from the world, and leave me spending the rest of my days in the mountains. But it might also answer the question I had spent years pursuing: what, exactly, is the Ultimate? Then I would no longer have to suffer over a truth I could never reach.

At the time, I chose peace of mind over physical comfort. I thought I had endured enough hardship, and that nothing could break me. I had no idea what a strange and terrifying situation awaited me.

And so the story begins...
