[A bit of a slow burn, so enter at your own risk] [Modern high martial arts] [Supernatural mystery] [One female lead] [Alternate folk culture]
High school student Cen Tianyu thought his life would go like this:
Graduate, get a job, get married and buy a house, have a kid, die, be reborn, graduate, get a job...
Then a bizarre creature wearing a Nuo mask dragged him into a space to play a strange game. At least if he won, he could still hang out with his deskmate.
What?! He lost!
Then he could only play a dating sim with the Nuo spirit.
He thought that after the game ended, he'd finally get to see his deskmate's fierce side...
But it seemed she, along with his parents, was hiding a huge secret.
Swordsmiths, corpse retrievers, knife-selling fortune tellers, Nuo shamans... They all began appearing one after another.
That despicable corpse retriever has gotten a System too:
“No wise old man in a ring, no nine-tailed fox possessing me, no System. Surely I can at least fish some stuff out of the river?”
But the very next moment, he was hauling ancient treasures out of the River of Time like mad!
And the river could evolve too?
Like [Ordinary Stinking Ditch LV1, Yangtze River LV2, and so on]
Meanwhile, Cen Tianyu silently pulled out a little notebook and wrote:
Today, I incurred a debt to a god. Someday... how am I supposed to settle this debt...
Settle my ass!
If you've got a debt, act like it!
“I'm Cen Tianyu. From now on, I'll explain the rules.”
