In 1918, a severe drought struck Qilu. The land was strewn with starving corpses, while warlords and tyrants ran rampant.
The soul of a modern special forces soldier unexpectedly possessed Zhu Chuanwu, the most unruly second son of the Zhu family.
From the start, his father had vanished while heading to Manchuria, a local tyrant came knocking to kill them, and the Zhu family was driven to the brink.
At the critical moment, Chuanwu awakened the Killing and Skill-Stealing System.
No endless chatter, just a brass pocket watch ticking away in the depths of his consciousness.
Kill a tyrant and steal [Basic Firearms Proficiency].
Slay bandits and obtain [Old-Growth Forest Tracking].
Slaughter Japanese invaders and draw [Special Forces Tactical Command].
In this land of White Mountains and Black Waters, where human lives are worth less than grass, others flee famine to survive. Zhu Chuanwu, however, leads the Zhu family to carve out a path to power with sheer force of arms.
Faced with the Kwantung Army's ironclad ships and cannons, Zhu Chuanwu wipes the blood from his Nambu Type 14 pistol. His thumb slowly rubs the callus on his index finger as he grins coldly:
"This black earth belongs to the Zhu family, not the Japanese!"
