Reborn: The Underworld Gave Me a Government Job

Synopsis

Reborn ten minutes before the apocalypse, the first thing Li Chenguang did was weld shut his neighbor's security door.

In his previous life, spiritual qi revival began, and his neighbor pushed him outside to face the monsters. He was devoured alive for forty minutes. In this life, he bound himself to the Underworld Judge System and got his hands on a Soul-Reaping Brush. It could not touch anyone whose lifespan had not run out, but one stroke was all it took for the truly wicked. He claimed his neighbor's soul and obtained the Yin Soldier Command, only for the System to tell him that there were seventeen unregistered spirits in the building. If they weren't collected within seventy-two hours, they would all turn into rogue ghosts. Worse still, the revival of spiritual qi was only an appetizer. The underworld of myth had collapsed, the judges were understaffed, the immortals and Buddhas were unreachable, and the human world had become a supernatural buffet. With the Soul-Reaping Brush in his left hand and the Yin Soldier Command in his right, Li Chenguang began climbing up from his own apartment stairwell: collecting souls, leveling up, and fighting for territory. Along the way, he made those who treated human lives like takeout in the apocalypse go downstairs early and take a number.

"Don't open the door. Don't trust anyone. Spiritual qi can kill you, but people are even better at it." Those were the words Li Chenguang carved into the security door after welding it shut.
