The Zoldycks' All-in-One Funeral Service

Their family ran a funeral goods shop in a town at the foot of Mount Kukulu, home of the Zoldycks. Since they lived so close to that family with its unusual surname, rumors began circulating among the upper classes: anyone who died an unnatural death had to be given a proper send-off by a funeral business near Mount Kukulu in order to reach the afterlife.

So their customers gradually changed from local residents to the owners of famous companies, nobles with histories stretching back hundreds of years, and even a crown prince from a certain country...

And thus came the following delightful scene.

His father blew a suona horn toward the sky.

He turned to the son of the great noble and reminded him, "Let's get started!"

The noble's son understood, smashed the basin in his hands, and wailed up at the sky, "Father!"

Accompanied by the suona's mournful music, the procession made its way to the local city's crematorium.

Thanks to this unique funeral ritual, more and more people believed the rumors. The Zoldycks on the mountaintop made the family a fortune. Then one day, a man with long, straight black hair came to their door.

He stared at me with his pitch-black eyes for a long time, then said, "You can repay your debt with your body."

"???"

Who are you supposed to be?!
