In a parallel world, the supernatural has been running rampant for two hundred years. Ghosts and monsters roam freely, and humanity cultivates using dark spiritual energy. Funeral worker Yu Xiaoxian deals with the dead every day.
His dark spiritual root is weak, so he’s assigned to the menial labor class. On the first day of school, he’s sent to handle a haunted study hall overflowing with resentment.
He accidentally gains a golden finger: every day at midnight, he can sign in at the ghost market and receive strange treasures like red-patterned underworld banknotes, soul-suppressing nails, and brotherhood tokens.
Signing in can even get him goofy evil spirits as sworn brothers. He uses a dictionary as a spellbook, a bone-ash urn as a drum, and has his sharp tongue and fierce loyalty turned up to the max.
While everyone else cultivates desperately, he lies around cracking jokes, relying on his laid-back ways to take down cold-blooded killers, hypocritical priests, and deranged maniacs.
A blood scythe’s ambush is blasted away by sound waves, a conspiracy under the cover of night is exposed on the spot, and a wicked princess is poisoned only to laugh until she spasms.
From Rotten Bone Alley to the Abyss of Wails, his team takes on monsters with gear earned through sign-ins. Defying fate is just part of his daily routine.
In the end, he masters time and space, destroys the ghost god, and saves all living beings. System certification: permanent slacker life is the greatest achievement.
