Lin Zhou, an ordinary young man who barely managed the "Wangyou Bookstore" that was about to close down in Xinghai City, just wanted to be a quiet fish until he accidentally activated the mysterious "legacy" left behind by his grandfather - a thing called "Urban Legend Management System" dedicated to maintaining the balance of "entropy" in the world.
From then on, his life was forcibly switched from "difficult mode" to "hell paradise mode".
"Newbie's mission: Please board the last bus No. 37 That never stops."
"Advanced mission: Please make the legend of the 'Man in the Mirror' disappear in Chengnan University within a week."
"A difficult mission: Please contain the 'Dream-Eating Tapir', an S-class anomaly that has gone out of control in the 'Silhouette Council'."
Faced with all kinds of bizarre urban legends and mysterious organizations lurking in the shadows of the city, Lin Zhou's only reliance is this broken system that sometimes goes offline and occasionally has a bit of black humor.
Failure penalty? Oh, it might be that he lost his sense of color for three days, or he might be hit by bird droppings when he went out. The worst one was that he was punished and could only talk to people in an upside-down position...
In order to survive and for the pitiful system rewards, Lin Zhou was forced to step by step from a bookstore owner to become the legendary "anomaly containment expert", "walking god manager", and "the uncrowned king of the underground world of Xinghai City".
But Lin Zhou would often look up at the stars and torture his soul: "Should I have sold that shabby book to pay the rent?"
