Rebirth — In the Realm of Shadows (Part 1)
A Chance for Rebirth
In our culture, living people burn joss paper for the deceased, so they have money to spend in the underworld. Joss paper is inexpensive in the living world, where a few dollars can buy a thick stack. However, in the underworld, joss paper is the only universal currency.
I am still alive, but I burned one hundred billion joss dollars for myself.
In the winter of 2023, without warning, a terrifying apocalypse suddenly arrived, breaking the barrier between the underworld and the living world. Vengeful spirits roamed, and the living had to retreat.
Everyone lived in constant fear of impending death, in a state of anxiety and unease. The only thing that could save lives was joss paper — the underworld money.
Joss paper can buy lives from fierce ghosts, or even purchase fierce ghosts as servants and slaves. In this horrifying apocalypse, joss paper was the key to survival.
In a past life, I was lucky to obtain some joss paper and used it to purchase a ghost shield for protection. However, I was stupid to spend most of my joss paper, buying the lives of my best friend Wendy and boyfriend Malachi from the fierce ghosts.
But what did I get in return?
