Demon God of Souls

Chen Ren was picked up and raised by the dean of the Eastern Kingdom's academy. Cast aside for having no abilities, he became a library attendant.

After living an ordinary life for four years, a thief broke into the library and killed him. Though he should have been dead, he mysteriously came back to life.

After a series of schemes against him, he is drawn into the kingdom's power struggle and a conflict with a neighboring nation.

Along the way, he loses the person dearest to him and is swept into an even greater maelstrom.
