In Tokyo, the dungeon master

Shirakawa Manka, 34 years old, is a widow.

A year ago, her husband was hit and killed by a truck, and the driver is still at large.

She had a falling out with her father because he insisted on arranging for her to continue marrying into the Shirakawa family and inherit their business.

He had planned to leave his daughter, Shirakawa Chiyana, with the Shirakawa family, but to his surprise, she was also willing to come with him.

This certainly made her feel gratified, but balancing work and taking care of her daughter also made Wan Hua even more exhausted.

Not long ago, after learning that her daughter had held a Hundred Tales ceremony with her classmates, Manka, who had always been wary of the unfortunate legends and dark doomsday prophecies circulating in the Shirakawa family, seriously educated her daughter and warned her not to do such a suicidal thing. The mother and daughter are currently in a state of cold war.

that's all.

"So, your family has an apocalyptic prophecy."

Gu Meng remained silent for a while. It was the same last time; there was a doomsday prophecy in the family.

Alright, he gave up on his fantasy. There's a high chance that there are evil gods in this world too.

"right."

Shirakawa Manka has already told everything she knows. There's no way around it; Gu Meng is clearly a ghost, semi-transparent. Although she has never seen a ghost before, she is terrified of such things, and lying to a ghost is something she simply cannot do.

"What year is the prophetic end of the world?"

Gu Meng pretended to touch his forehead, and he felt the phantom pain starting again.

"I don't know, but it should be the 21st century."

"So, time is running out..."

Before Shirakawa Banka could reply, Gu Meng asked again:

"You possess the ability to see spirits, the kind of person who is born with the ability to 'see.' Your family must also be extraordinary. Have you ever come into contact with other extraordinary individuals, or rather, do you often see other spirits?"

No, no.

Shirakawa Manka quickly shook her head: "I have never seen any other spirits. When I was a child, my grandfather told me that the Great Source of the world had been gradually falling into silence since six hundred years ago. Around three or four hundred years ago, there should have been no more superhumans in this world."

As she answered, she was also wondering what kind of monster Gu Meng was... hoping he wasn't some kind of man-eating monster.

"The Shirakawa family, a native extraordinary family, but they say they no longer have any extraordinary individuals... Wait a minute, if they really don't, then this time the evil god will leave me to figure things out all by myself? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Gu Meng was unwilling to accept this fact.

"Let me tell you something else. Is the owner of this bedroom your daughter?"

Shirakawa Manka fell silent, regretting that she had said too much.

If it involves Chiyana... No, I don't want that kind of thing!

"You said they held a Hundred Tales ritual, hoping to see ghosts, and ended up bringing back a book with a black cover?"

"No, no, I was just making things up." Shirakawa Manka panicked even more.

"Don't worry, I'm not a devil."

Gu Meng waved his hand and took out the Book of Ancestors.

"Is this the book you were talking about?"

Upon seeing that ominous book again, Shirakawa Manka felt even more desperate. It must be because of that ritual. Could it be that the Shirakawa family really has this kind of constitution, which is why they are so unfortunate?

Gu Meng, however, felt that it might not necessarily be related to the ritual; at most, it was just an opportune moment, since he would eventually arrive anyway.

It turns out that the bedroom wasn't the first point of arrival after the transmigration. It was probably because of the incompleteness of the soul that the person only regained consciousness not long ago.

However, why is it the Shirakawa family mother and daughter, and not the Tokai family? Shouldn't my identity when I transmigrated be Tokai Isshin? It can't be that the Ancestral Book gave me false information.

Gu Meng narrowed his eyes: "Have you ever heard of someone named Donghai Yixin?"

"One Heart in the East China Sea?"

Judging from Shirakawa Manka's reaction, she had obviously heard of it.

She didn't seem to have any intention of hiding anything from this person.

"Lord Tokai Isshin was a daimyo of Tokai Province during the Sengoku period. He was also known as the Sword Saint. Although there are relatively few Taiga dramas and games about him, and the historical descriptions are rather ambiguous, he was indeed a historical figure with a certain degree of fame..."

Many things can be found online, or you can find anyone who has some knowledge of the history of Japan's Sengoku period. Shirakawa Manka only mentioned some basic historical facts.

Through her description, Gu Meng learned some information about his identity in this life. Some parts were contradictory and unclear, which should be points of contention in history itself.

According to the hints from the ancestral book, this is the part that has not been confirmed. This identity was automatically generated with Gu Meng's time travel and is temporarily in an uncertain state. Once Gu Meng confirms it, that vague experience will be integrated into the real history.

In Gu Meng's concept, after ascending to the rank, the true gods who control time and destiny can distort history to a certain extent. The true history is confirmed by the true gods, and they can even construct multiple timelines.

Moreover, the secrets behind his time travel are probably even higher than the level of a true god, and rewriting history is something Gu Meng understands.

Nodding, Gu Meng then looked at Mrs. Shirakawa:

"Do you know anything more about Tokai Isshin? I feel like you're hiding something."

Shirakawa Manka hesitated for a moment:

"In fact, Donghai Yixin is the ancestor of our Donghai family."

"Oh, is that really how it is?"

Gu Meng smiled. He had been wondering why this time was different, but it turned out he was still a descendant. That made sense.

He then asked, "Then why is your surname Shirakawa? Did you hide your identity?"

Could the Donghai family be a cursed bloodline? Is this surname burdened with a curse?

But if, as Shirakawa Manka says, all supernatural powers in this world have vanished, then the curse should not exist either.

"no."

Shirakawa Manka explained, "Our Shirakawa family and Nagakawa family in Tokyo, including the Toyokawa family in Toyokawa City, are all branches of the Tokai family. When a family branches out, they change their surname."

"A family split? Oh, I see," Gu Mengneng understood the system; his surname, Gu, also originated from the surname Si. "And what about your main family?"

"Our family has been guarding the shrine's seal in Donghai City. However, my grandfather said that the seal is something that no longer exists. Someone has already gone to the shrine's underground and found that the legendary dungeon monsters don't actually exist."

"There's such a thing..." Gu Meng confirmed that the dungeon monster must have existed before, because that's how he lived in his previous life.

Beneath the hilltop castle in Hamlet, the ancestral home of the family from a previous life, lies a dark dungeon that leads directly to the great being.

Gu Meng even suspected that the underground of Donghai City might also be related to the apocalypse.

"Have you been down into that dungeon?"

"No, no, I'm scared of Desuwa."

Shirakawa Manka is an elegant and poised woman at work, but becomes timid and submissive when faced with supernatural events.

They are like two completely different people, a stark contrast.

If people familiar with Shirakawa Manka were to see her in her current state, they would probably doubt whether it is the same person.
