Black Tiger Yang Lie, a native of Nest City No. 3, turned 30 this year just after the New Year.
It's said that he was originally born into a happy and prosperous middle-class family, but a financial crisis in the '60s left his family impoverished, not only losing everything but also accruing massive debts.
Normally, such families in Nest City were dime a dozen, and their ultimate fate was to fall to the slums, becoming the very lower-class drifters they once looked down upon.
But Yang Lie, who by a stroke of luck became an Apprentice Death God, changed the fate of his family.
His talent wasn't particularly strong, only managing to become an Apprentice Death God at 24 by the skin of his teeth, and by all logic, his future achievements should not have been significant.
Yet, no matter how down-and-out, he was still an Apprentice Death God, part of the ruling class of Nest City.
