Li Chan had been running knife raids in the Delta when he got ambushed by a rat. He demanded to settle things in person, but got so worked up that he keeled over.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an unfamiliar place. Starving and exhausted, he made his way to a dilapidated Taoist temple.
Hoping to find something to eat, he discovered only a tattered Taoist robe. To survive, he put it on, pretended to be a Taoist priest, and went down the mountain to beg. Just as he finally managed to get by, he realized this world seemed different.
There really are demons and monsters here, including the legendary undead corpse.
This world is so dangerous...
Luckily...
Li Chan looked at himself. "I don't seem to be a normal person either."
