Synopsis

One thousand three hundred and ninety years ago, under the emperor’s direction, human adepts gained control of the “Void” and used it to create the “Wall,” which separated the real world from the anomalous one. After more than six centuries of effort by adepts from various schools, the anomalous remnants in the real world were finally purged, leaving humanity with a world of its own. Anomalous creatures became demons, ghosts, gods, and monsters in tales of the strange. As time passed, the adepts had less and less use for their powers and fell into decline. Twenty years ago, the Dustbound Guardian who protected the “Void” was attacked under mysterious circumstances. The “Void” disappeared, cracks appeared in the “Wall,” and anomalous creatures began seeping into the real world. The demons, ghosts, gods, and monsters of folklore returned, hunting humans in the darkness behind the neon lights. To deal with the crisis, the authorities brought the adepts back into service and established the Special Anomalous Incidents Office, abbreviated as the “Special Affairs Office.” The area where the protagonist, Shen Qian, lives falls under Special Affairs Office Division Four! (The demons, ghosts, gods, and monsters in this story are all recorded in ancient Chinese books of strange tales. For dramatic effect, however, their abilities have been slightly enhanced from the original descriptions. The source texts for each creature will be noted in the story, so feel free to search for the original accounts if you’re interested.)

Ensemble Cast with a Team of Specialists, Where No One Is Just Background (Male Protagonist)

Both the main cast and supporting cast should feel significant, with vivid, distinctive personalities and a sense of camaraderie. The teammates shouldn't just be tools for the protagonist or background decoration. No women-only kingdoms, no tragic endings, and no romance drama. (Apocalypse, infinite-world, horror, and other genres are all fine.)
