The Living Coffin, the King of Hell’s Debt

[Authentic folk taboos, terrifying tales from the wilderness, and little-known accounts of spirit-walking]

Have you ever heard of changing your fate or borrowing someone else’s life?

Born under an ill-starred fate, doomed to a life of hardship. Use forbidden magic to take another person’s fortune and change your own destiny.

Fated to have no children, destined to spend your life alone. Use forbidden rites to kneel at Heaven’s Gate and defy fate to beg for a child, carrying on the family line.

I have witnessed all of this with my own eyes. Whether you seek a child or wealth, defying Heaven always comes at a terrible cost.

At best, one life is exchanged for another. At worst, your family is destroyed!

My name is Chen Xuan. Someone schemed to leave the Chen family without descendants. To continue the family line, my grandfather lit the heavenly lantern, knelt at Heaven’s Gate, and defied fate to beg for a child!

To keep me alive, my grandfather dug up the Chen family ancestral grave and buried it beneath our own main hall. He even built me a tomb for the living dead!
