The oil lamp in the funeral home flickers. Beneath the coffin lid comes the grating sound of fingernails scraping wood.
Li Xuan clutches the yellow talisman Uncle Jiu gave him, his palm slick with sweat. He used to be a modern-day gaming addict, obsessed with League.
He’s been Uncle Jiu’s adopted son for only three days, and now he has to face a thousand-year-old White-Haired Zombie?
“Ding! Incense value +10. League Divine Summoning activated!”
A phantom image of Garen’s armor appears before his eyes. Gritting his teeth, he shouts the summoning incantation: “Demacia!”
The next second, golden battle energy surges around him, and the yellow talisman in his hand transforms into a greatsword. The White-Haired Zombie has barely lunged at him when it’s cleaved in two by “Decisive Strike”!
Uncle Jiu stares wide-eyed around his pipe. “Xuan’er, what kind of fierce god did you summon…?”
From then on, wild rumors spread through the Republic-era supernatural world. When Heavenly Master Li summons gods, sometimes he smashes zombies with a forge (Ornn), sometimes he cuts down evil cultivators atop a whirlwind (Yasuo). Most outrageous of all, once he summoned a woman in a red dress (Morgana), who tied up the warlord’s Zombie King like a dumpling!
The fox-spirit proprietress hiding behind him, the female ghost Dong Xiaoyu in her red wedding dress, and the foreign-educated socialite Ren Tingting… all blush. How does this little Daoist, who plays the pig to eat the tiger, get more alluring the longer they look at him?
