I Keep Getting Summoned from Beyond the Grave by Supernatural Rules

[A touch of horror] + [survival by the rules] + [logic puzzles] + [ensemble cast] + [Infinite Flow]

Reality rots, the abyss engulfs the world. Rules are cages, and all living things are prisoners.

When the King of Hell says you'll die at the third watch, who would dare keep you alive until the fifth?

Chen Yan died.

But he would rather have truly died.

When he opened his eyes again, he had become a clay statue.

When common sense fails and rules become blades that kill, the world is left with nothing but endless forbidden zones.

There are no ghosts or gods in this world, only the indescribable seeping through the cracks.

It cannot be killed, resisted, or understood.

The only way to survive is to learn its cold, unforgiving rules before death arrives.

Chen Yan is nothing but the remnant soul of a man molded into clay, powerless and with no clear path ahead.

Again and again, he is forcibly awakened and sent into the forbidden zones of the Gray Domain to scout them with his own body.

Worst of all, death is never an escape. It is only the beginning of his next resurrection through spirit summoning.

Every fall and struggle of his serves only to pave the way for others to survive.

In this world, some walk in the shadows, hunting taboos and treating the Gray Domain as their domain. They call themselves the Keepers of Order.

Others are unlucky souls like Chen Yan, reduced to expendable materials, their remnants sealed inside clay statues as they glimpse the truth of the forbidden zones between repeated deaths and resurrections.

Death is not the end. The eternally dormant have not perished; across the ages, even death itself can die.

Perhaps rules are not restraints, but the key to survival?

As the world falls apart,

those who survive the darkness

are never saved by redemption,

but are survivors more composed, more patient, and better at wielding fear than the abyss itself.
