Return from Ashes

After the fog fell, "grey doors" leading to foreign ruins appeared one after another on the borders of the Old Continent. Behind the door are the treasures of a lost kingdom, the remains of ancient civilizations, contaminated monsters, as well as relics and secret medicines that can change your destiny. Countless adventurers, mercenaries, noble private soldiers and exiles poured into it, just to return alive with loot before death came. Young Lin Jin came out of a small border town, burdened with debts and old cases, and was forced to sign an exploration contract to become the lowest level Gray Gate Walker. When he first entered the restricted area, he only had an old sword, a broken backpack, and a return charm that might expire at any time. Here, greed is more terrifying than monsters, teammates may not be trustworthy, and retreat is sometimes more important than victory. He retrieved the first ancient nameplate from the dilapidated mine, snatched the blood-stained relics from the corrupt temple, and also discovered through narrow escapes from death: the appearance of the Gray Gate was not a natural disaster, and the monsters sleeping deep in the ruins were not just monsters. When the cities competed for resources in the restricted area, when the nobles monopolized the return passage, when the ancient disaster awakened in the abyss, Lin Jin finally understood—— The so-called return journey is never about returning to the starting point. But from the ashes, make your own way.
