Lin Mu was a modern-day corporate drone who transmigrated into this desperate, chaotic world and became a wanted criminal known as a “Black Constable.”
But his start was utterly absurd: betrayed by his accomplices, he was tied up and thrown into a ruined shrine to serve as “bait” for demons.
Just as he was about to be killed, a cruel, cold System descended:
【Burn your lifespan to gain strength. When your lifespan runs out, you die.】
【Current lifespan: 23 years】
From then on, Lin Mu's life changed completely.
In every crisis, he had to burn away his lifespan to gain the power to slay demons and monsters!
But every burst of power came at the cost of his life rapidly slipping away.
He traded demon flesh and blood for lifespan, then traded lifespan for power.
Lin Mu pushed recklessly to the brink of death, growing stronger with every burn and more ruthless with every kill!
Yet as the war against demons and monsters grew ever more intense, Lin Mu gradually discovered that the truth of this world was far more terrifying than he had imagined:
Why did the demons slaughter without restraint, yet never destroy humanity?
Was the very source of martial arts cultivation in this chaotic age closely tied to demons?
Behind every demon-slaying mission lurked some kind of sinister bargain and conspiracy.
And the System's existence seemed more like some kind of “higher-dimensional experiment”... So who was the hunter, and who was the prey?
As the fate of burning his life intertwined with the search for truth, and the violence of clashing blades collided with the struggle of human nature, Lin Mu smiled and tightened his grip on the long saber.
“If my life is short, then I'll kill until the whole world is turned upside down!”
