Just when Liu Xiaodan thought that his strange, mundane life was at its peak after meeting the ghost child he named Guangru, the child ended up being a gateway to the past that he had never wished to unlock... and a future he could only brace for.

Through his blood came a mystery that had soon given birth to an existence that everyone wanted to subdue yet no one would like to meet. Liu Xiaodan was destined to stand at the top of the food chain, but would he use his powers for good? Or would he rather lock himself away from the light forever? After all, his kind... was the strongest in the dark.

This is the monster that he chose to become.

The Birth of a Ghost Overlord

The heavy fully-armored door crashed against the frame of the cell. It was like a bank vault, but there was an air vent at the bottom. Multiple rows of such a thing were in a big underground floor, and no sunlight must have gone into that place.


Liu Xiaodan was sent to solitary even if he had not lifted a finger in the incident. Then again, based on his security tag and records from Wangguan, he could pretty much infer that Captain just knew that he was responsible for that newcomer bleeding… erm, dying.


A loud sigh came from his lips as Liu Xiaodan sat down on the cold floor again. He then leaned on the cold wall of the cell and stared at what should be the door. The place was too dark to even see anything. Even if Liu Xiaodan was gifted with heightened senses, he couldn't see much, only outlines.


The last time he was sent to solitary, Tang Mingming was there to speak with him. The night after that, Guangru was there.
