“I’m so nervous… Today we awaken our ghost companions.”

“Yeah… if we fail to awaken them it’s all over, we can only be human livestock for the rest of our lives.

“Well that’s still okay… If you lose control, your chance of surviving isn’t even 10%!”

“…..”

In a relatively large classroom a group of 15-16 year old teenagers were sitting, quietly discussing amongst themselves.

Every student’s face looked quite nervous, perturbed even.

Out of all the youths here, only Lin Feng was sat quietly, staring at the blackboard.

“It’s been so long since I crossed over…” Lin Feng thought.

That’s right, he was transmigrated.

Before transmigrating, even though he was an orphan Lin Feng was a fairly outstanding university student. After his final exams in highschool, Lin Feng spent all his summer holidays earning money. When he started university, he began earning even more as a delivery driver. In his second year he produced a successful mobile game, becoming a small celebrity in his school.

However…

On the summer holiday of his second year of university, after being extremely busy for 3 days, Lin Feng began to drive back to school, after driving for a long time he felt drowsy and suddenly fell asleep at the wheel. When he awakened he had already transmigrated.

……….

This place is a kind of parallel world, the main difference is that 100 years ago various strange events unceasingly began to occur.

Ghosts, originally only existing in horror stories, began to appear from who knows where.

At first only a couple appeared, within a controllable range.

But after only a year, the horror was truly everywhere.

The whole world was out of control. In the end it became a ghost land paradise.

In many places, entire cities fell, an uncountable number of people were killed by them.

The world was in a panic.

Humanity was dwindling.

All the remaining humans were struggling for survival.

Until.

The Ghost masters appeared, humanity’s last hope.

……….

After 100 years, humanity once again had a foothold, having established many base cities.

But, circumstances were still hard.

Because after 100 years, humanity had reduced to 1/10th its previous size.

Even after establishing bases and steadily growing the population, this was the result.

And the number of ghosts… according to the ghost masters’ estimations, had fearfully surpassed the human population.

Outside of the base cities, the number of ghosts were uncountable.

The whole world had become a ghost land, humanity could only hide in base cities and fight for survival.

This world has already entered the age of terror.

……….

Lin Feng was currently in a medium-sized base city called Liucheng. The population was a couple hundred thousand.

In base cities, 100 days after birth, all babies were given a choice to select a companion ghost.

These companion ghosts were relatively feeble and good natured ghosts obtained by powerful ghost masters,

There were many types and many forms.

For instance, the girl next to Lin Feng was playing with a plain looking ring.

Inside this simple ring was her companion ghost.

Another example, in front of Lin Feng was a fat boy, in his pocket was a bloodstained finger… this finger was the boy’s companion ghost.

……….

At 100 days an infant was placed between a multitude of items and made to pick one.

Once selected there was no changing.

There were also infants that didn’t pick one, in the future they could only be normal people, forever living inside the walls of the base city. After 18 years old they would pick a marriage partner, and after they turned 30 years old have at least 5 children, the more children, the more favourable their living conditions.

If among their children appeared a powerful ghost master, their lives would be even better. But in the end, they were still only pretty much livestock.

In this world, only ghost masters are above all others.

Infants that chose an object, must accompany their companion ghost at all times, after the age of 10 they would go to a specialised school to study ghosts and how to handle them as a ghost master.

Until 15 years old, when every student gathers together to awaken their ghosts.

With this education system the largest number of ghost masters possible was created.

Because the requirements for being a ghost master was so high, a couple dozen years ago, out of 1000 people only 1 would be able to become a ghost master.

But with this system, the number of ghost masters was multiplied more than tenfold and more.

It was only this way that after 30 years humanity finally began to recover, and finally base cities began to expand.

………..

“I guess I hope I can succeed in waking you up.” he thought silently.

Lin Feng took out a red bow ribbon from his shirt, firmly grasping it in his hand. This bow was actually Lin Feng’s companion ghost. However, Lin Feng still couldn’t feel if this ribbon was particularly beyond ordinary.

But at this time, as the bow was grasped in his hand… it suddenly began to feel cold.

“Oh? There’s a reaction?”

Lin Feng never expected the ribbon would suddenly have a response.

Alert
Companion ghost detected fluctuating,
cultivation system activating…

A mechanical sound suddenly rang out.
