My name is Lin Bushou. At twenty, I was forced to inherit my family’s ancestral trade and became the only corpse collector in the Three Realms.
The job is pretty unusual: I handle “special clients” who are stuck in the mortal world. From a Slit-Mouthed Woman who passed out from hunger at a haunted school to a top student ghost who got stuck on a math problem until his soul nearly scattered, none of my clients are normal.
The perks aren’t bad, though. Each job lets me randomly inherit one of the client’s “core skills.” The Slit-Mouthed Woman gave me [Mastery of Pointless Talk], while the starving ghost passed on [Competitive Eating], nearly making me eat the cafeteria out of business.
I thought I was just an unlucky odd-job worker, until I discovered:
The evil cult hunting me wants to use me as a key to unlock a sacrifice of ten thousand souls;
My unreliable teammate is actually a retired founding grandmaster of corpse collecting;
And the thing I should be most wary of is the app my grandfather left behind to screw over his grandson. It’s just been hacked by a villain, and now it’s assigned me a “Hell-level” suicide mission...
All I want to ask is: If I quit now and report to the Underworld, is it still in time? Asking online, and I’m in a real hurry!
Using chocolate to exorcise the Slit-Mouthed Woman, ordering underworld takeout with graffiti—each skill is more outrageous than the last, and the plot twists are so numerous they'll make you laugh until your abs hurt! The protagonist Lin Bushou's witty remarks are incredibly relatable, and a suspenseful main plot is hidden within his silly daily life. The pace is fast, and the ideas are uniquely imaginative.
