Shen La, a special forces operative born with the Heavenly Eye, has been able to see ghosts since childhood. During a mission involving a supernatural incident, his abilities were exposed—leading to his recruitment by a hidden Chinese government agency: the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation. This mysterious organization is tasked with investigating and handling all manner of supernatural phenomena. Within the Bureau, Shen La encounters a group of uniquely gifted and eccentric colleagues, including a mysterious white-haired man known only as Invincible, and Sun Fatty, a genius with an exceptionally high IQ. Through a series of increasingly perilous encounters—including the resurrection of the Ancestor Shaman, the haunting Ghost Opera of Qinghe, and a ghost ship that has wandered for centuries—Shen La begins to grow both in power and insight. Yet as the cases deepen, a shadowy force behind the scenes begins to reveal itself. Its ultimate goal appears to be a secret manual said to grant immortality...

It took me time... to figure out that this mobile is an RPG System! I can't believe I can level up in real life like it is a real-life VR Game. But, why does this System brings the Undead in front of us and wants us to finish them? We can't kill them.... right? Only if we complete all the Quests assigned by this Paranormal System, it says it will help us find our parents. I wanna find them but right now I just wanna Level Up! I kept getting Quests to kill the Undead or to save someone from the undead, etc. I was leveling up quite well too. Until this one day... when my elder sister left aboard for her studies and my friend dropped the System from her hands- like seriously?! The mobile fell, its screen shattered and..... the system rebooted. Yeah, now we gotta do everything from the start. We started our first year at the high school... everything was fine since I was not getting any quests to complete till this day: [Find fellow System users in your school.] We all System users gathered. Everyone from different classes, and different... Races. We started getting the same Quests, we started working together but with different goals. . . .
