The Ember Abyss Continent is a different world where "number of deaths" is the currency.
• Death = wealth: Every time you die, your soul will condense an "ember coin", which is the only hard currency in this world.
• Living = Poverty: People who have never died are "zero dead" and are at the bottom of society. Even breathing has to be taxed
• More deaths = stronger: High-level dead possess wealth and power accumulated from hundreds of thousands of deaths
• Resurrection mechanism: There is a "resurrection pool" in this world. The dead can be resurrected in the rebirth pool, but they will lose part of their "emotion" each time they are resurrected.
• The ultimate paradox: the richest people are also the most "hollow" people - they have died so many times that their emotions are almost exhausted
