Wang Erga's Journey West

Wang Erga, seventeen, an orphan from a fishing village on the East Sea.

His father died at sea, and his mother remarried and left. He thought fishing was all his life had in store.

Until one day, he stole the boat boss's skiff and went out to sea to find his father.

A storm capsized the boat, and he drifted to a deserted island clinging to a broken plank.

Then he found a little yellow dog.

The dog could play dead, get seasick, and chase rabbits, bringing back a blade of grass.

But it was also a divine beast that had run down from Kunlun Mountain.

It said, "Master, in your previous life, you were the Great Emperor of the North Pole. You played chess with the God of Wealth and lost three trillion merit points. You were banished to the mortal realm. You must return to the ancient wilderness and complete all three volumes of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, repaying your ten debts one by one, before you can reclaim your throne as Great Emperor."

Wang Erga: "...What?"

Big Yellow: "Come on. Head west. Beyond Qingqiu Mountain lies Mount Buzhou. Beyond Mount Buzhou lies Kunlun Hill. Fight monsters and level up along the way, repay your debts, and you can reclaim your throne."

Wang Erga: "...Do I have to go?"

Big Yellow: "You do. If you don't, you'll die."

Wang Erga: "...Fine, let's go."
