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.

Chu Youlan stared at him with a pout threatening to twist her lips. She then rubbed her arm. "Treatment Hall. It's far dangerous to pass by the Administrative Hall right now. It's the most secure and probably a place where the most powerful shamans are. Also, there's something that you might want to see in the Treatment Hall."
