The Death Exam

Many people who survive a life-or-death crisis emerge with radically changed personalities and seemingly charmed lives. This is no coincidence—it happens because, at the brink of death, every person is drawn into a special assessment space. Pass the trial, and you return to the living, bringing back any extraordinary abilities you gained within that realm. The old saying "great disaster brings great fortune" is rooted in this very phenomenon—it truly is a form of real-world "cheat." Only a tiny fraction of the population has ever walked out of the death exam space. Yet some, once they have tasted it, become obsessed with going back again... Ling Wu is one of them.
