Wan You, an ordinary young man who knows Chinese horror literature inside and out, unexpectedly transmigrates to a parallel world and discovers that Huaguo has already lost eight consecutive matches in the "National Destiny Arena." In this world, countries send their own horror representatives to battle, and the losers suffer the consequences of declining national fortunes. Huaguo's representatives have repeatedly lost because they do not understand the essence of Chinese horror, leaving the nation on the brink of collapse. At the moment of death, Wan You activates the "Ghostly Path System," which turns his comprehensive knowledge of Chinese horror into quantifiable combat abilities. The System issues a mission: save Huaguo from disaster and restore its national fortunes. In the matches ahead, Wan You must draw on his expertise in Chinese horror elements such as paper figures, zombies, vengeful spirits, and ancient tombs to fight Western horrors like vampires, werewolves, and murderous clowns. As the matches intensify, Wan You discovers that this is not merely a battle for national fortunes, but a final showdown that will determine the survival of two civilizations. An even more terrifying truth lies hidden behind the System. He must choose between saving his country and exposing the System's conspiracy, all while facing suspicion, betrayal, and assassination attempts from both within and beyond his borders.
