The Calamity Lord

As recorded in the Chronicles of Shushuhong: Over a century ago, a black sun tore through the firmament, cleaving the heavens before finally crashing into the deep earth. This occurred in the year of Guimao. The realm was in turmoil; the ravages of war ran rampant, and malevolent spirits rose up on all sides. Corpses of the starved littered the wilderness, the wails of the destitute filled the river valleys, and for ten thousand leagues, not a single rooster’s crow was heard. A solitary soul from a distant realm—bewildered and bereft of memory—was cast into this world. And thereafter, Calamity befell the land.
