The Huang Family's Night Drums

In the alkaline gullies of the Black Earth Wasteland lies an ancient night-drum art on the verge of extinction.

Huang Tianci was born with spiritual perception unlike that of ordinary people. Shunned by others from childhood, he lost his parents early. His only elder relative passed away on a stormy night, placing the ancestral King Wen Drum in his hands.

Deserted graves, abandoned villages, old towns: when the sacred drum sounds, the road into the night opens.

Carrying his drum through the countryside, he uses its power to quell chaos. Its melodies summon spirits of the wilds as he unravels one strange rural mystery after another and uncovers old grudges buried for a thousand years.

The youth must break free from the chains of fate passed down through generations. With the heart of an ordinary man, he will protect the peace of his homeland and become the keeper of the Night Drum tradition.
