Shadow War Mercenary: From the Start, I’m Teamed Up with a Cyber Ghost

[Hardcore military action × Light sci-fi + Delta Force-style operations + The rise of China + Girls' Frontline]

In 2025, tactical humanoids burst onto the scene, setting Ling Feng's fate in motion.

After failing his postgraduate entrance exams, facing a brutal job market, and suffering severe injuries on the battlefield, Ling Feng thinks his life will amount to nothing more than slacking off as a mercenary for Mirage Technology. That is, until he meets a female ghost named Luo Qingyang.

“Help me recover my remains. The pay is excellent, and I'll even give you X-ray vision.”

Ling Feng thinks it's just an ordinary job. He has no idea that tonight he'll witness the bloody gambling games at Cloudgate Casino, a den of vice built jointly by the multinational giant Mirage Technology and the Jinning royal family.

A cult's blood sacrifice, surveillance by a super AI, and a manhunt led by “Black Armor Guards” in Tang-style robes... A qilin on the casino's domed ceiling, lavish jade gambling tables, and every chip soaked in blood.

Only then does Ling Feng realize that fate has played a cruel joke on him.

“Then let's shoot our way out.” Ling Feng's gaze is sharp as a blade.

She helps him see through the bullets' trajectories; he helps her recover her bones. Together, one living and one dead, they search for a way to survive. Gunfire shatters evil thoughts, grenades strike terror into vengeful ghosts, and marksmanship takes the place of magic, one bullet at a time.

As they press on, Ling Feng realizes this world holds far more mysteries.

“Qingyang, why does your lover look so much like me?”

“Ling Zhao, why does that Mr. Death you're talking about... sound like it might be me?”

He doesn't know that Red Rabbit's latest Xuannv aerospace fighter is already escorting him, or that “Death” is the demon-slaying edge forged by five thousand years of civilization.

This incident isn't just about them. It also concerns the rise of the nation...
