Monster Hunter + Equipment System + Superpowered Classes. Mu Zhiye died beneath the demonic spear of Baal, the Demon God Lord. He watched those around him fall as the Seventy-Two Demon Gods rampaged, and only at the end did he learn the secret of crafting gear from their corpses: their bones could be forged into armor, their cores into weapons, all capable of countering their own kind.
Carrying this regret and secret knowledge with him, he was reborn one year before the apocalypse, while he still held his place as a specially recruited student of the Apocalypse Society. This time, he memorized the arrival patterns of every Demon God: the date the Flame Demon would burn a city, when the Shadow Marquis would cast its curse, and the Frost Lord’s core weakness. He knew it all.
He ventured across the Flame Demon’s volcano and the Shadow Abyss, using his foresight to hunt demons and harvest their parts with pinpoint accuracy: Flame Scales to craft cloaks, Frost Cores to forge longswords, Shadow Cores to lift curses from assassins, and Thunder Demon Crystals to amplify mages. The Zhiye Equipment Workshop became humanity’s hope. Armor-piercing gauntlets and Demon-Slaying Spears all came from his hands.
When the Seventy-Two Demon Gods returned, Mu Zhiye wore god-slaying armor and wielded a world-ending demon blade, with demon hunters clad in full sets of Demon God gear behind him. In this life, he would make Zhiye his blade and demon hunting his craft, and swear to rewrite the fate of the apocalypse.
