The Heaven Burial Demon
Talentless. Mortal. Forgotten. Ye Wuji was shut out from the path of cultivation before it ever began.
Cursed with a crippled spiritual root, he became a coffin maker, ushering others into the earth while awaiting his own turn. However, when an ancient coffin in his workshop came to life, it granted him a power that the world deemed an abomination: the ability to claim the unlived years of the dead.
Every burial steals time. Every harvest stains his soul.
Cast out from the world of the living and hunted by those who fear what he represents, Ye Wuji walks the Path of Heaven Burial—a path of ghosts and memories where power is measured by graves filled and immortality is woven from stolen endings.
How many must be buried before the heavens themselves take notice?
Author's Note:
This story is not about the comforting notion of heroism.
Rather, it explores death as a process, power as a consequence, and survival as a series of compromises. The protagonist is not driven by righteousness or madness, but by necessity, fear of death and erosion. As the story progresses, moral clarity fades, choices become more difficult, and the cost of survival becomes more apparent.
Readers should expect:
• A slow descent rather than a sudden transformation
• Dark themes, including death, burial, and the exploitation of fate
• Power gained through uncomfortable means rather than justice or luck
• Psychological strain, memory corruption, and moral ambiguity
• A world where kindness does not protect and strength does not absolve.
This is not a story of instant revenge or effortless ascension.
It is a story of accumulation, of years, bodies, and consequences.
If you are looking for lighthearted cultivation, clear heroes, or guaranteed redemption, this may not be the right journey.
But if you are willing to walk beside a man who buries the world one grave at a time, then welcome.
