Grave Keeper of the Northern Frontier: I Began by Burying Death Row Inmates and Became a Dao Ancestor

[Northern Frontier] [Gravedigger] [System] [Defend the Border Against Demons] [Satisfying Combat]

In the northern reaches of the Dayong Empire, a demonic calamity is approaching, and the whole nation is building a barrier against the monsters. Countless death-row prisoners are sent to the frontier to build the walls with their own flesh and blood.

Zhang Huai transmigrates into this world with a terminal illness and only one day to live, becoming the lowliest gravedigger in the death-row camp.

Luckily, he obtains the Gravedigger Panel. By burying the dead and fulfilling their final wishes, he can earn lifespan, martial arts techniques, and divine weapons.

While others fight on the front lines for a chance to survive, he buries the dead and gathers their souls, using their dying wishes to defy Heaven and extend his own life.

On a rainy night in Lin'an County, he delivers silver to the family of Zhou Yun, who fell in battle, and takes down a villain. In the mass grave, the obsessions of all manner of restless spirits turn into blue, purple, and golden light, each a chance to extend his life.

Liu Dahu, a fellow prisoner in the camp, schemes against him in secret, hoping to seize his position as gravedigger. Beyond the barrier, monsters stir, and undercurrents surge along the frontier.

Bury a corpse, gain a little more life. Fulfill a wish, gain a new skill.

When every skeleton has been laid to rest, Zhang Huai will stand before the barrier against the monsters, blade in hand, and face down a thousand demons alone!
