The Strange Funeral Director

By Year Four of the New Era, the world had long since become a hellscape overrun by the uncanny. There were no zombies or viruses, only invisible, intangible “uncanny beings” that fed on the souls of living creatures. They warped reality and stirred up fear, grinding civilization into heaps of rubble. The young Chen Ye struggled to survive in the apocalypse for three years. On the brink of death, he unexpectedly bound himself to the Funeral Director System, becoming a “Funeral Director,” born to slay the uncanny and restore order.

From then on, he wielded a long blade that purified evil, making “burying the uncanny” his mission. From a lone survivor, he was gradually drawn into the whirlpool surrounding the truth of the apocalypse: mysterious “yin-object experiments,” 73 “hardcore bone fragments” containing uncanny power, the “Bone Carver” who controlled and modified humans, the Snake Fang Squad coveting the fragments, the vanished Underworld Bureau, and the reconstructed Netherworld...

Every uncanny being he slays brings him closer to the truth.

Every powerful enemy he faces brings him one step closer to his goal of “restoring order.”

In an apocalypse woven from despair and hope, Chen Ye’s path as a Funeral Director is both a judgment on the uncanny and an interrogation of human nature and conspiracy.
