When I was six,
a group of tomb raiders came to our village. Curiosity got the better of me, and I followed them. Inside the tomb, I inherited a Daoist's legacy and obtained several magical artifacts.

They wanted me dead! They wanted freedom!
Ancient gods, great demons, ghosts, monsters, and spirits all take their turns appearing.
