The Corpse Collector: Rise of an Era

A millennium ago, a crimson rain heralded the birth of malevolent spirits, the collapse of imperial rule, and the onset of chaos. Chen Mu, a low-ranking investigator from the underworld unit, accidentally acquires a mystical system that grants him power through examining corpses and resurrecting the dead into an obedient army. Rising from the lowest ranks, he navigates treacherous political intrigues, hunts down criminals, purges corrupt officials, secures the borders, and battles foreign invaders to ultimately unify the realm. Caught between the demands of the imperial court for blind obedience and the martial underworld's code of honor, Chen Mu carves his own path with a blade in hand. Starting with nothing more than the dead, he transforms into the ultimate pillar of a fractured world. Carved upon a final monument stands the truth for future generations: whoever reaches this soil shall know it was redeemed in blood. This is the epic tale of one man who climbed from the very bottom to carry the weight of an entire era.
