Father's Basement

Opening with corpses in a graveyard is not subtle, and the mysterious rescuer supplies more questions than information. It is still an efficient setup. Zhang’s common student life collides with a supernatural martial-arts world in one encounter, giving him a concrete reason to pursue whatever the swordswoman knows.

The protagonist, Zhang Chulan, leads a very common college student's life until he finds himself caught up in a terrible incident that happened in a small village. As he was walking through a graveyard, Zhang Chulan is assaulted by jianshi.
