Lin Chen, a top student in archaeology, transmigrates one day and finds himself in the body of the very "Patriarch of Tomb Raiders" who founded the school and established every rule in a tomb-raiding novel.
Freshly awakened from a thousand years of slumber, he finds his disciples and grand-disciples kneeling before him, tears in their eyes. Before he can savor the prestige of being their patriarch, he's forced to take on an epic challenge. His grand-disciples beg him with tears in their eyes: "We implore our patriarch to display his supreme powers, lead the way, and help us conquer the most dangerous tomb of our age, the one said to be impossible to enter and leave alive!"
Lin Chen looks at the tomb map, its mechanisms and traps all too familiar, and nearly blacks out.
That tomb was the ultimate examination ground he designed in his previous life.
Those mechanisms were challenges he laid using everything he'd learned in his lifetime, and now even he thinks they're beyond the syllabus.
And in the deepest chamber lies a coffin radiating an eerie power of summons. Inside rests the original body he has waited a thousand years to reclaim, the body whose soul is about to "return"!
On one side are his ravenous followers, convinced he can scale walls and leap rooftops, and dismantle traps with his bare hands.
On the other is a twisted layout that makes even its designer want to curse and call it downright vicious.
Clutching his chest, Lin Chen falls into deep thought:
Can he still make it in time to teach these disciples, who know only how to locate tombs by their feng shui and ward off evil with black donkey hooves, the basics of Field Archaeology, Cultural Relic Conservation, and Scientific Excavation Procedures, starting right now?!
