Lin Yaozu, twenty-two, is a tenth-level scholar of rural dance music, raised in the outskirts where city and countryside meet. He makes deliveries for his family’s hardware store. After being hit by a truck, he doesn’t die. Instead, he’s pulled into an infinite-flow world.
Other people’s abilities: telekinesis, elemental control, enhanced physical strength.
Lin Yaozu’s ability: [Feeble Old Guy]. Its forms: rural dance moves, corny catchphrases, and shouting over music.
Effect: Deals mental damage to ghosts and monsters. Put simply, he makes them so unbearably uncool that they crash.
When he meets all kinds of bizarre people, there’s no problem: the dark-fashion streetwear king dressed head to toe in black, the yandere girl in Lolita clothes who keeps saying “Don’t leave me,” and the clueless, adorable oddball in all white. He’ll recruit every last one of them as a teammate!
But why is this world so weird? There’s an air conditioner in a Qing dynasty mansion, paper figures that keep looking for bodies, and young women trapped by feudal customs.
Other people fight monsters with their abilities. Lin Yaozu does it by making a spectacle of himself.
At the ultimate level of tacky, you become trendy. Dance until the ghosts wail.
Theme: A broken world can be made whole, and lost souls can find peace or a new beginning. In the end, an ancient god who knew nothing of the human world was welcomed home by the warmth of everyday life.
