A Night Parade of Ten Thousand Ghosts

[Classic fantasy + no System + powerful protagonist reborn + fast-paced plot + effortless swagger]

On this day, the peerless Sword Emperor met a mysterious end.

That same day, a young man from a border city entered the capital.

He was a once-in-a-generation prodigy, his sword unmatched among his peers.

The world thought this was the beginning of another legend, but it failed to see the tens of thousands of resentful ghosts trailing behind him, or the heaven-defying plan hidden in his heart to lead all ghosts in defying the immortals...

The long night is coming, and ten thousand ghosts will roam the night.

This is the glorious legend of a poor-born youth rising in an age of great upheaval, and a defiant battle hymn written together by countless losers.
