Die for Me, Ascend for Me

In the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, before cultivators face their tribulations and take the blade, they can pay to buy a scapegoat. Being a scapegoat is the lowest trade in the world—die once, get paid once, and the vast majority truly die on the first job. Chen San is the sole exception. Three years in the trade, ninety-six jobs taken, and every time he has crawled back alive from the mass grave. No one knows why he cannot die. He himself only knows half of it: there is a coffin inside his chest. Every time he nears death, the coffin opens a crack and takes in the lethal lightning, poison, blades—and then casually steals one thing from whoever killed him: cultivation, techniques, or memories. The price is that every time he dies, he loses a piece of his own memory. His parents' faces are gone. Why he cultivates at all is gone. All he has left is a little notebook full of accounts. Until the ninety-ninth time, when a woman stands before his grave and says she wants to buy his hundredth death. And in the ledger of the Bureau of Fate it is written: Geng Seven, sold ninety-nine times. Buyer: the Bureau of Fate. His life, it turns out, was sold off twenty years ago. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Die for Me, Ascend for Me — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
