Soul Hunter King: The True Name of Eternal Winter
In the perpetually snow-covered northern continent, there is a terrifying legend about the "Day Devouring" - when the Soul-Eating King awakens from the ice, the sun will be corroded by His true name, the shadows of living creatures will grow fangs, and the dead will regain their heartbeat in the aurora.
The old hunter Mu Kui, along with his apprentice Anuo whose background remains a mystery, encountered an ancient curse on the snow-covered Mount Huihun. Black blood ice crystals oozing from the rock walls, transparent human hands stretching out from the caves, and faceless beings counting human heartbeats in the snowstorm all indicated the signs of the impending release of the Soul Hunter King. At the same time, strange changes occurred in the visitor town at the foot of the mountain: the bronze door cracked open in the glacier swallowed the living, the moon wheel mark appeared in the pupils of infants, and the town's shaman, at the cost of his life, caught a glimpse of the coffin of the sleeping Night Watchman beneath the ice layer.
When Mu Kui's bloodline awakened the frost wolf totem and Anuo's animal skin map turned into a stream of light to awaken the woman in the ice coffin, they only then discovered that they had long been inscribed in the god-killing contract from a thousand years ago. The twelve divided powers of the Soul Hunter King are being reassembled, and the chosen beings will become the vessels for His return to the world. In this death journey that races against the heartbeat, what is more bone-chilling than the blizzard is the secret of one's companion, and what is more dangerous than the aurora is the price of knowing the divine taboo.
This is an epic tale set against the backdrop of the Cthulhu Mythos, unfolding on an Eastern ice plain. It's about the truth of a god-slaying buried by snow and wind, and about the scorching glow of humanity in the eternal winter.
