[Nonhuman + Lovecraftian Horror + Invasion by a Strange Game + No Female Lead + Global Catastrophe + Dual Storylines]
The day the strange game descended, Su Chen watched his family get dragged away by evil ghosts, and became their blood meal himself.
When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to one year before the disaster.
There were 365 days left until the strange forces descended upon the world.
[Warning: Host is human and does not meet the binding requirements! Unbinding countdown: 00:14:59!]
The System refuses to recognize him?
Su Chen glances at his family, still alive, then turns and walks into the barren mountains.
If being human can't protect them, then I'll stop being human!
[Species determination passed! The Strange Overlord System has been permanently locked!]
Starting by devouring a Level Zero ghost and earning his first ghost point, Su Chen keeps adding points, advancing, and devouring, seizing ghostly artifacts and domains.
More unexpectedly, the companion ghost mirror can reflect the real world.
Clues from the ghost realm become warnings he can send back to the human world,
while searches and preparations in reality mean he no longer has to feel his way through the dark alone.
As the descent draws closer, he gains more and more trump cards.
A year later, the strange game begins.
Low-level ghosts flood into the human world, and cities in other countries fall one after another. Countless ghost hordes cross the borders, only to crash head-on into black flames and a mirror abyss stretching across the sky.
The ghosts bow their heads.
“Greetings, Ghost Lord!”
Standing amid the black flames, Su Chen raises a hand and knocks on the mirror.
“Within the borders of the Dragon Kingdom, no ghosts may pass. Those who defy this order will burn in the mirror.”
