by LSHI

Portal Fantasy / IsekaiAnti-Hero LeadCultivationGrimdarkMale Lead

Xie Bian cleans up after the gods. What falls from the cracks in the sky isn’t rain—it’s things that cannot be burned, buried, or killed. And his job is to recycle them. In return, he can turn these horrors into priceless Glazed Glass. But every time he does,his own body becomes a little less human. Flesh turns to cold gold.Blood turns to glass. He is not a hero.He has no system, no destiny, no salvation. Only a persistent hallucination of a yellow garbage truckplaying "Für Elise" in the back of his mind. And a job he cannot quit. --- In the Great Wei Dynasty, the heavens are broken. Monsters fall like trash.Gods rot.Buddhas are made of meat. And someone has to clean it up. What to expect:Dark Eastern Fantasy / Silkpunk: A gritty, bureaucratic take on cultivation and folklore.Eldritch Horror: Monsters are not just beasts; they are "wrong."Unique Crafting / Magic: Turning monsters into art, at a physical cost.Update Schedule: 3 Chapters a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday). High density, atmospheric storytelling. Translation Note: This story is originally written in Traditional Chinese by the author. AI tools are used to assist with localization to ensure the dark, gritty atmosphere conveys correctly for English readers.
