Chapter 1: A Cornered Beast Still Fights
In the ninth year of Hongwu in the Great Ming, the backstage air of the capital's Liyuan Theatres hung thick with the rot of cheap tobacco and moldering timber. Lin Che leaned against a blotchy wooden pillar, his fingertips absentmindedly rubbing at a still-damp tea stain on his lapel while his mind remained preternaturally clear.
On this seventh day since his transdimensional crossing, he had finally sorted out the identity of the body’s original owner—a down-and-out storyteller ruined by a drinking habit and crushed under high-interest debts. Right in front of him, Manager Wang’s greased-up face was pushed in alarmingly close, the hot breath puffing from his nostrils practically bathing Lin Che’s face with a heavy stench of sulfur.
"Three days, Lin Si," Manager Wang’s voice grated like sandpaper over a tabletop, piercing and heavy with menace. "If you can't hand over the silver, strip that wretched hide off your back to pay off the debt. Don't play dead with me—those casual walk-ins out front aren't going to buy your little sob story."
Lin Che lowered his eyelids, masking the cold flash of light at the back of his gaze. He didn't rush to talk back, quietly tuning into the chaotic emotional fluctuations radiating all around him. Anger, agitation, contempt... those emotions whispered like a rising tide right against his ears. At that very moment, deep within the recesses of his mind, the activation criteria for the Resonance Storytelling System quietly clicked into place.
