Decisive and RuthlessThere’s no such thing as a good monster!All monsters deserve to die!Cold-blooded and merciless!During his freshman summer break, Lu Ding had planned to take on an internship to gain some experience and earn a bit of pocket money.

But because he had never encountered a single monster in all that time, his patience had long worn thin.Now that he finally came across one, there was only one thought in his mind—either he killed the monster, or the monster killed him.Joining the 749 Bureau, he used their resources to hunt and contain monsters.From then on, the 749 Bureau gained a new investigator—one who never left a single survivor.One by one, legendary demons and monsters emerged into the world, only to be crushed under Lu Ding’s hands.[Contained the Stubborn Stone of Nanshan, gained the Path of Jinche—nothing is unbreakable.][Contained the Black Old Lady, gained Strength of a Thousand Pounds—one palm can move mountains.][Contained the Flying Centipede, gained Centipede’s Wind-Fixing Art—soaring through the skies and burrowing into the earth.]749 Bureau: “Unless absolutely necessary, do NOT let Lu Ding take a mission! Our bureau’s purpose is containment, but every time he acts, nothing is left alive!!”749 Bureau Motto: “We Contain, We Confine.”Lu Ding: “I may be an investigator of 749, but I don’t care about containment—only extermination.”

The person who was locked away inside the thorn-covered tower was not a princess, but a witch who employed the powers of darkness.

A brave young hero came searching for the tower in order to kill the witch.

– Light would force the darkness to recede, and grant it eternal rest

The witch wished.

That things would end with, ‘and the hero lived happily ever after killing the witch,’ like in the fairy tales.

And so, she had devised everything to happen in accordance to her wishes.

But the boy, who had grown up in but no time at all, would make the unfamiliar face of man’s from time to time.

“You want me to kill you? ……Do you really think I’ll let you go?”

Reality was very different from the fairy tales.

“The people don’t know of the precious treasure locked away in the tower.

I won’t let anyone else have this god given treasure, this crown of god surrounded by thorns that no one else could recognize.”

The hero gave the witch a slow and deep kiss.

“I am the true victor, and no one else.”
