Play with Your Leather Gear, Why Am I Growing Leaves?

[Dark + ruthless + no female lead + skin-suit elements + Cthulhu]

The moment my adoptive father, the “Ghost Master,” breathed his last, I unexpectedly became bound to the [Ghostly Hehuan Sect] System.

This sect System was derived from a bounty satellite network. It uses sin points to build a virtual sect, with its core abilities centered on “identity parasitism” and “memory alteration.” Its core cultivation art, The Way of Human Skin, can strip a target of their skin and perfectly parasitize their identity and memories, controlling their consciousness without leaving a trace. Outer disciples must be selected from among willing women and bound to the System, forming a hidden network of inheritance.

The System also reveals a radical view of cultivation: the body is merely an editable “primordial substrate,” and the goal is to escape the inefficient human form and attain formless immortality.

Armed with this absurd System and stranded in a wasteland without spiritual energy, I am forced to combine criminal skills with eerie cultivation arts, embarking on the path to becoming the “world's number one sect,” with the skins of all living beings as my stepping stones.

Ask, and you shall receive. I grant eternal life.

Wait, weren't you just playing around with a skin suit? Why am I getting itchy all over? Why am I starting to grow leaves?
