When a Big Shot Becomes a Pitiful Little Sacrifice

Gu Huatang, the Lord of Ten Thousand Ghosts from a thousand years ago, transmigrates to the modern era.

The moment he opens his eyes, he discovers that people are draining his blood to use him as a sacrifice.

Whispers surround him, the people sacrificing him drop dead one after another, and mysterious, uncanny beings grin at him.

The killing intent draws closer.

Gu Huatang gets to his feet and slaps one of them. "Get lost."

"???"

The uncanny being drops dead on the spot.

Because of his unusual constitution, Gu Huatang had hoped to spend his life lazing around a thousand years later. Instead, he's dragged into one strange incident after another.

A centuries-old haunted village: "This person would make a perfect bride for our ghost god! Grab him and put him in a wedding dress!"

A secluded family: "This person would be perfect as a sacrifice to our sacred relic! Grab him and offer him up!"

An overseas organization: "This person would make a perfect body double for our boss! Grab him and switch his soul!"

"Are you all insane? Is everyone rushing to meet their year-end quota?"

Bound hand and foot, Gu Huatang smiles. "The weather's turning cold. You can come at me one at a time. None of you are getting away."

And so, the former Lord of Ten Thousand Ghosts finally makes his move.

Afterward:

An old village deep in the mountains is wiped out overnight.

An entire century-old family is arrested.

An overseas organization is dealt a devastating blow.

The various organizations wail in unison: "Waaah, Dad, we were wrong! We admit our mistakes and will reflect on them! Please, put your powers away!"

Warnings:

The gong and shou pretend to be in love early on, with little real affection. Physical intimacy comes before love.

1. Past and present lives, melodrama.

2. Everything is imagined, in an alternate world.

3. My take on fantasy. As long as it's satisfying, that's all that matters.

4. A mishmash of supernatural elements, with a touch of tomb raiding, spiritual qi revival, and Lovecraftian horror. At its heart, it's a gathering of heroes and a monster convention.
