After failing the martial arts exam, Pei Jin is assigned to the lowest rung of the Zhen’e Bureau, in the department that handles monster corpses.
While others join the bureau to slay demons and monsters, his daily work is hauling, dissecting, and burning bodies, cleaning up after the elite field teams.
Then, on his very first day as an intern, an S-rank Tyrant that had been dead for twelve hours opens its eyes in the cold storage room.
Every officially registered martial artist retreats. But Pei Jin discovers that whenever his palm touches a monster’s corpse, he can permanently extract its most powerful abilities.
The Tyrant’s dragon spine, the night owl’s eyes, an undying heart, a spatial hunting ground…
Years later, restricted zones around the globe open at once, and city-destroying monsters pour out in force.
While the world’s strongest fighters debate how to hold the line, Pei Jin has already walked alone into the depths of a restricted zone.
“Defend?”
“Who said I came here to defend?”
That day, humanity saw a restricted zone run away for the first time.
