I inherited a gloomy old pawnshop and only then learned it wasn’t an ordinary place: it was a pawnshop for the afterlife’s cycle of reincarnation.
The living can pawn their lifespans to make a wish, while the dead can pawn their obsessions to buy another chance at reincarnation. But every contract I sign burdens me with karmic debts that I must repay within ten days, or my soul will be scattered.
From the start, a highly accomplished law student takes on a case involving a wrongfully killed child’s spirit seeking his life. A soul-blight appears on his palm, and the ten-day countdown to his death begins.
I have no System or cheat abilities. I can only exploit loopholes in contracts and navigate the twisted schemes of human nature to survive between the realms of yin and yang.
A top-tier star pawns her breathtaking beauty to bring about the downfall of a scumbag, an elderly professor pawns his life’s research to make his daughter open her eyes, a young man pawns his brilliant future to save his terminally ill mother… Every deal conceals a heart-wrenching obsession, and every deal comes with a deadly backlash.
It isn’t until the soul-blight awakens memories of my past life that I realize:
I was the first master of the Reincarnation Pawnshop. I sealed away my memories and lived through a thousand years of reincarnation, not to become an immortal, but to suppress the Prison of Ten Thousand Souls, which is about to engulf the human world.
This time, the ten-day endgame will make countless souls my pawns. Whoever dares to block my path to saving the world will sink into eternal torment!
