Jiang Jin was an ordinary delivery rider until he accepted a midnight order to a funeral home.
Blood seeped from his insulated delivery box, his phone's navigation led to a crossroads in the underworld, and the customer turned out to be himself, already dead. That's when he learned he had been born as a “vessel,” with the power of an ancient sea of blood sealed inside him. From that moment on, every delivery he made fed the monster within:
Blood silk ensnared souls, bone flutes summoned ghosts, and he was forced into a thousand-year conspiracy surrounding the Red Gate Banquet.
Hellfire scorched his body, and glazed glass turned his bones to ash. He had to face the primordial evil god awakening from its slumber.
Karma became the thread, memory the bait, and even those closest to him concealed deadly lies...
When an order popped up on his phone for “Express Delivery to the Netherworld Rift,” Jiang Jin finally understood:
The most terrifying delivery in the world was sending his own soul to be received by himself twenty years in the past.
