The Undead Who Holds a Thousand Mysteries

Zhao Huang was an eighteen-year-old teenager forced to drop out of school due to financial difficulties. One day, while Zhao Huang and his parents were traveling to their new home, another vehicle collided with their car at high speed. A bystander called for an ambulance, but only Zhao Huang survived. Both of his parents died at the scene due to excessive blood loss. Left with no family and no direction, Zhao Huang chose to live on the streets. He fought to survive but always adhered to honest principles, never attacking without reason. Years passed, and by the age of twenty-five, Zhao Huang had begun to gain recognition in street circles as a formidable fighter who always fought fairly, though he was not yet widely known. However, during a confrontation with an armed criminal gang rivaling his own group, Zhao Huang resorted to underhanded tactics for the first time—throwing sand into his opponent's eyes before thrusting a wooden plank into the eye of an armed adversary holding a gun. That battle marked his first victory against an armed opponent. Over time, Zhao Huang continued to rise through the ranks of the underworld. He formed a large organization that eventually dominated all of China and half of South Korea. Yet, at forty-five, Zhao Huang discovered he was suffering from a severe form of cancer. Despite this, he never sought medical treatment. He continued living as he always had—fighting, leading, and defying the world as if death meant nothing to him. At forty-eight, Zhao Huang’s body could no longer endure the pain. He passed away without medical care, without fear, and without regret—a hard-edged street ruler who lived fiercely until his last breath.
