Burning My Life for America: From the Start, I Slay the Great Prajna

Jiang Shuai wakes up to find himself the Chinese American sheriff of a parallel-world America. In a casino lit by shattered neon, blood seeps from his wounds. Before him are a desperate father and son, and a bloodthirsty monster from an island nation: a giant Hannya. His predecessor was corrupt and depraved, sacrificing the living in exchange for wealth. Now Jiang Shuai faces the same desperate fate, on the verge of becoming the sacrifice himself. Luckily, a panel quietly appears before him: [Remaining lifespan: 18 years] [Note: Lifespan can be consumed to directly pour points into skills or cultivation techniques] The more years he burns, the stronger he gets. The stronger he gets, the more ghosts he kills. Then he absorbs the ghosts' lifespans and starts the cycle all over again. As the Hannya's claws tear into his chest, Jiang Shuai grins through the blood: “So my kill threshold is forged by burning my own life.” From then on, the dark legends of Las Vegas gain a new name: the “Lifespan-Burning Sheriff,” who hunts down anomalies. Urban legends turn into experience bars before his eyes, and ancient evil spirits are nothing more than walking blood bags waiting to be slaughtered. “I hear you feed on humans?” Jiang Shuai burns the last year of his life. Neon and bloodlight gleam along his blade. “Now, who's the one who should be afraid?” Core premise: transmigrate + System + dark urban anomalies + life-burning combat. In an America plagued by anomalies, the protagonist trades his lifespan for power, slays monsters to level up, and uncovers the bizarre truth behind the world.
