I’m Not a Ghost God: Night Watchman Jiang Ye

The year is 2046, the third year of the paranormal resurgence.

“Haunted zones” have appeared around the world: regions shrouded in supernatural rules where death awaits. Nine out of ten people who enter never make it out.

Jiang Ye, 22, is a delivery rider in Jianghai City. His parents died in the first haunted-zone outbreak three years ago. He delivers food by day and sells information on the black market at night, barely scraping by.

Then one day, he wanders into the A-rank haunted zone known as “Blood Hospital” and awakens the [Ghost-Slaying System] on the brink of death.

Kill ghosts to gain ghost power. Trade it for skills, weapons, and even supernatural abilities.

But there’s a price: every time he uses ghost power, he loses a little of his humanity.

“The Stitching Doctor,” “The Death Train,” “The Mirror Assassin,” “The Time Corridor”…

He fights for his life in countless haunted zones, slaying ghosts and rising through the ranks from “Gray Crow” to “Black Crow” to “Blood Crow.”

He also meets the icy team leader Lin Xue, retired Golden Crow Lao Zhou, and the genius hacker Xiao Qi.

Together, they fight to protect the human world.

Until he discovers that the paranormal resurgence isn’t a natural disaster. It’s a man-made one. The Night Watchers’ upper ranks, the “Elders’ Council,” are secretly raising ghosts in hopes of opening the “Gate to the Ghost Realm.”

And his parents died because they uncovered the secret.

Worse still, the Ghost-Slaying System inside him is itself a “gate.”

“I’m no Ghost God. I’m just…a walking gate.”
