Global Survival: Starting by Trading with the Paranormal

Overnight, the world fell, and the uncanny descended.

Corpses hung from withered trees; indescribable, sinister beings wandered the streets.

Lin Feng, a business graduate, awakened a unique talent: the Ghost Merchant.

Everyone in the world had to obey three iron laws:

[Rule One: A safe house is your refuge, but you must constantly supply it with “vitality.” Otherwise, your refuge will disappear.]

[Rule Two: Hunting the uncanny and obtaining “Ghost Cores” is the only way for you to survive and grow stronger.]

[Rule Three: When “Ghost Patterns” cover your body, you will become one of them.]

He traded a memory to the ghost in the mirror for an absolutely safe house;

he told a story that made the Slit-Mouthed Woman his temporary bodyguard;

and he used the seven emotions and six desires of human nature as currency to build a business empire spanning both the human and ghostly worlds amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Yet he gradually realized that a greater conspiracy seemed to lie behind this fight for survival at the end of the world.

When the ultimate truth was revealed, Lin Feng pushed up his nonexistent glasses and smiled professionally. “Looks like it’s time to negotiate a big deal with this world.”
