When life on Earth gets too exhausting to keep up with the rat race, the Underworld sends you a job offer.
The dead are piling up, efficiency is poor, and there aren’t enough civil-service posts. Even the Underworld can’t escape a labor shortage. So an unprecedented cross-realm recruitment drive quietly begins.
Lin Mo, a seasoned corporate drone ground down by the 996 work schedule, accidentally stumbles into this Underworld civil-service exam. When a PowerPoint presentation meets the Hall of Yama, and KPI assessments collide with the Book of Life and Death, he discovers that being a civil servant in the Underworld isn’t all that different from working in the world of the living.
The difference is that this time, the rivals he has to outcompete are all manner of ghosts and gods.
P.S. A new work by a seasoned corporate drone. It’s about ghosts and gods, but satirizes the human world. Art imitates life: you’ll laugh, and then you’ll cry.
