On the night his life hit rock bottom, bankrupt programmer Chen Yuan accidentally activated the Underworld Management System and became its mysterious administrator. He discovered that the supernatural was quietly returning to the world. Using the System, he could issue missions and recruit players to handle paranormal incidents, collecting "incense offerings" to repair the crumbling Underworld.
In the name of a game, Chen Yuan guided players around the world onto the path of rebuilding the Underworld. During the closed beta, he relied on players to quell supernatural calamities in the cities, negotiate with the authorities, and contend with the Taoist sects. When the game went public, a million players swept across the globe. He commanded the Yin soldiers, projected the Underworld into the world, and established new laws for the living and the dead. When corporate interests turned against him, he crushed them with an iron fist. When ancient gods wreaked havoc, he led all living beings into battle.
From an administrator hidden behind the scenes to the Lord of Fengdu who commands reincarnation, Chen Yuan rebuilt order in the Underworld while forging a new age in which humans, ghosts, and gods coexist.
