Corpse Collector: I Grow Stronger with Every Death

Xiao Chen never asked to be thrown into a brutal fantasy world—but when he awakens a forbidden system that lets him steal power from the dead, survival becomes an art form. Every corpse he touches grants him their skills, techniques, and cultivation. With five siblings to feed and two concubines depending on him, he works as a prison guard by day and scavenges battlefields by night. While heroes chase glory, Xiao Chen plays the long game: stay low, grow strong, and one day rule all realms from the shadows.
