Fired From the Start, I Became a God Through Chinese Folklore Horror

A young man cast aside by the modern workplace is forced onto another “wage-slaving” path: **no KPIs, just life-or-death trials; no year-end bonuses, but winning unlocks the true divine powers of his ancestors**. From discerning evil through the spring thunder of Jingzhe, to weaving a net with Qingming’s fine rain, to making a hundred weapons acknowledge their master at Mangzhong... Lin Ye discovers that the **power of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms** he commands is the key to fighting the “malevolent things” born of cultural forgetfulness.

**Blending Chinese-style rule-based horror, folk-custom mysteries, urban power fantasies, cultural heritage, and underdog comebacks, this book tells a fantastical story of rediscovering confidence and rebuilding one’s sense of worth, all through a humorous and lively narrative.**
