Zhou Heng drank too much wine, and woke up to find that he had time-traveled, and there was a beautiful woman lying beside him. Just when Zhou Heng, a bachelor of ten thousand years, wanted to take charge, he suddenly discovered that this woman who had a relationship with him was called Sadako, and she was the Sadako in Midnight Ring.

Sadako is just Sadako, pretty and human, but the memories that come out one after another make Zhou Heng discover that his name is Takeo Saeki, and he is the husband of Kayako in the Grudge of the Great Evil Spirit.

Later, at work, Zhou Heng discovered that his female colleague had a strange identity. The daughter of his client, Mimiko Mizunuma, had always been very interested in him when she came into contact with him.

This sets his path: scavenging the aftermath of others’ battles. He enhances gear and, after achieving his first kill on an injured beast, waits patiently to assimilate two more fallen recruits, acquiring [Quick Step] and the invaluable passive [Aura Sense].Starting as average, Daniel rapidly gains power in secret, enhanced gear, multiple skills, and boosted stats , far exceeding his peers while remaining outwardly unremarkable. He navigates the lethal Verge alone, using its inherent dangers to fuel his growth, wrestling with the moral cost of his unique, overwhelming power.
