A century ago, a cultural rupture nearly severed the Dragon Kingdom’s folk traditions.
When the Nation’s Fortune Spectral Gates opened, countries around the world used their own folklore to create terrifying dungeons and plunder the fortunes of other nations. With its traditions in tatters, the Dragon Kingdom could create only B-rank dungeons at best, earning worldwide ridicule as a “dungeon ATM.”
Until Su Yan transmigrated into this world.
He came from a world where the traditions remained intact. In his previous life, he had been an heir to the Yin-Yang troupe’s shadow opera tradition, and was a master of the full range of Chinese taboos, including Nuo opera, paper effigies, ghost marriages, and City God worship. When he created the S-rank dungeon The Opera Stage during a global livestream, the moment he put on the Nuo mask, the chat went from mockery to terror. In The Paper Effigy Shop, he declared, “When the lights go out, you die,” and those who cleared the dungeon were gradually replaced by paper effigies. When he unleashed the SSS-rank Fengdu Ghost Market, the City God’s night patrol wiped out the Nordic elites…
At last, the other countries realized that the person from the Dragon Kingdom wasn’t just a dungeon keeper. He had come with an entire system of rules to teach them what “taboo” meant.
But Su Yan’s true purpose in entering the Spectral Gates was to find the seven members of his old opera troupe, who had voluntarily entered the Gates in his previous life to “complete the pact.”
“Master, Senior Sister, Martial Uncle, Ninth Uncle… Wait a little longer. Yan’er is coming.”
