Global Awakening: Stealing Corpses Is Fun, Raising Shadows Is Hell

Lin Ye holds the dubious honor of being the weakest mage in the history of Star City No. 1 High School. Graded with a class potential of only E-rank, he is the sole student in his entire class to rank at the very bottom. While his classmates chase glory with their talents, Lin Ye walks a very different road — one paved with stolen corpses. Stealing a corpse is satisfying in the moment, but raising what it leaves behind is a punishing ordeal that burns through everything, like a crematorium of its own making. Such is the price of walking the path of the Shadow Monarch. Cunning, patient, and ruthlessly pragmatic, Lin Ye fights like a true rat — lurking, ambushing, and striking only when the odds are firmly in his favor. He is no saint, and he has never pretended to be one. Along the way, more than one extraordinary woman finds her fate entwined with his.
