Paper Husk: Lord of the City's Hauntings

A tide of supernatural horror swept through Linyuan City. Lin Yan, a senior investigator with the city's Paranormal Defense Bureau, was betrayed by his colleagues and perished in a wave of hauntings known as the “Midnight Bell.” By chance, he was reborn using the remains of an ancestral peachwood paper effigy, becoming a being caught between human and ghost. Bound to the Fear Harvesting System, he completed tasks such as “Mending the Paper Body,” “Inking the Eyes,” and “Weaving the Blood-Red Robe,” unlocking abilities like “Ghost Paper Craftsman,” “Nether Sight,” and “Blood-Paper Armor.” When the Paranormal Defense Bureau tried to wipe him out, Lin Yan commanded countless paper effigies throughout every corner of the city, using paper as his medium to become immortal and indestructible. One day, he stood atop the tide of hauntings, yellow paper filling the sky as myriad ghosts bowed before him. The world called him the “Paper-Corpse Ghost Sovereign.”
