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

"Xiaodan!" Chuan Nayi's voice came through, but she quickly reined in her excitement and relief. "Listen, don't say anything. Don't worry about me, this is probably one of the safest places in the facility. Listen, if I can see you from the camera, they can, too. You need to get out of there."

"…I don't know where to go next." Liu Xiaodan still spoke but in a rather gentle voice. As if knowing that tilting his head a little would hide his mouth from the camera, he didn't care if he shouldn't be on the line longer. "Nayi, tell me where you are. I will come and get you."

"Like I said, this is a safe place. They're probably tapping into this line now. Ruan Jin is in the Rooms Hall, but they're undisturbed there. Listen, those people will kill you when they see you. I can only do so much, Xiaodan."
