The day his younger sister was beaten into the hospital, Shen Ye stormed into the Zhao family home with a knife. Six people died, and he was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve.
He thought his life was over. Then the ninth basement level of the detention center opened its doors to him: a place called the Dark Prison. Its crystal activated the Shatterstar Fist System. Collapse, Rend, Shatter, Sink, Spiral, Annihilation, Void: each breakthrough demanded a life in exchange.
And out there, Lin Boheng was still alive. The true mastermind behind the Zhao family massacre was waiting to turn off his sister's ventilator.
From death-row inmate to Owl Emperor, Shen Ye had only one thing to say:
"The day my sister died, she was still clutching half a skewer of candied hawthorn."
Blood debts must be paid in blood.
