A Multiverse Chain: Starting with the Ghost Lane Convenience Store

The supernatural returns, and the Heavenly Dao crumbles. The last vestiges of order in the world shatter. Countless haunted domains descend upon the human realm, old rules collapse, obsessions turn into ghosts, and everything becomes strange and sinister. Chen Mo, once a regional manager for a chain of convenience stores, transmigrates to a supernatural world and becomes the shrine keeper of a ruined temple in Ghost Alley. At the brink of despair, the Myriad Worlds Chain Store System successfully binds to him. He does not sell brute force or hunt evil spirits. He simply opens shops, sets rules, makes deals, and honors contracts. While others fight ghosts and risk their lives, Chen Mo uses a business license, a system of store policies, and standards for after-sales service to tame countless supernatural beings. Obsessions are customers, incense offerings are foot traffic, karmic merit is revenue, and rules are merchandise. A hanging ghost works the register, a painted-skin woman serves as a sales clerk, a zombie stocks shelves, and a top scholar ghost answers questions in the shop. Complaints from red-clad ghosts, grievances filed by fierce spirits, fines from the underworld, and commercial wars between haunted domains. Starting with the first convenience store in Ghost Alley: He uses bulk discounts to keep the ghost market in check, membership plans to gather supernatural artifacts, consumer rights to fight false gods, and chain branches to anchor shattered rules. Urban legends at university towns, ghost markets in old cities, supply chains in the underworld, haunted domains across the globe, immortal sects signing franchise agreements, supernatural tides among the stars... Wherever his branches reach, order is rebuilt and rules take hold. When his signs are found throughout the Myriad Worlds, and the heavens themselves abide by his store policies, Chen Mo finally understands: The so-called Heavenly Dao is nothing more than a contract everyone agrees to follow. And becoming a god is simply bringing the warmth of human life to every world.
