Locked into a relentless duel, cultivation experts Cang Di and Song Yu fight each other until both reach their final breaths. However, just before perishing, Song Yu finds a wandering soul and decides to use the last of his powers to revive it. Now placing his trust in this unsuspecting individual, Song Yu instills his own sword skills and medicinal knowledge onto the soul. Transmigrating into a cultivation world as Xu Wuzhou, the son-in-law of the Qin family, the wandering soul now finds himself in a slew of embarrassing troubles, thanks to the preposterous acts of his body's previous owner. Nevertheless, Xu Wuzhou is determined to prove himself a worthy member of the Qin family, and his newfound skills could be the secret to unlocking his full potential.

Fear, survival, instinct. Thrown into a foreign land with nothing but hazy memories and the knowledge of their name, they can feel only these three emotions resonating deep within their souls. A group of strangers is given no other choice than to accept the only paying job in this game-like world—the role of a soldier in the Reserve Army—and eliminate anything that threatens the peace in their new world, Grimgar. When all of the stronger candidates join together, those left behind must create a party together to survive: Manato, a charismatic leader and priest; Haruhiro, a nervous thief; Yume, a cheerful hunter; Shihoru, a shy mage; Mogzo, a kind warrior; and Ranta, a rowdy dark knight. Despite its resemblance to one, this is no game—there are no redos or respawns; it is kill or be killed. It is now up to this ragtag group of unlikely fighters to survive together in a world where life and death are separated only by a fine line. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
