What happens when a nineties kid from the twenty-first century wakes up as a stiff, hopping zombie in a bootleg martial arts universe? For Damien Thorne, it means dealing with a cloying scent of incense, a video-game "System" in his head, and a deeply humiliating first night stuck in a local cesspool. To survive a dangerous world of high-tier undead and terrifying Taoist masters, Damien strikes an unlikely alliance with Elara, a powerful ghost with a massive crush on a priest's apprentice. Armed with a bizarre new ability to pilot his own corpse like a literal flesh-and-blood mech via magical puppet strings, Damien must rapidly level up his stats before a wildly off-script final boss finishes his unlife for good.
