Yuan Tao is the reincarnated protagonist who retains memories of his past life from a modern world. Upon awakening in a perilous realm of demons and ghosts, he gains the exclusive Shadow Mage ability, which allows him to command shadows to devour spirits and convert their power. He also possesses a unique cheat that collects idle energy from subordinates to enhance items and people. Initially weak, he quickly adapts by summoning shadow wolves for hunting and cautious exploration. He values his family, especially his elder brother's household, and provides them with wild game. Through cultivation, he elevates his soul power to the realm of Day Wanderer (Seventh Rank), gaining considerable strength. He summons Alphonse Elric for alchemy and creates advanced weapons. His calm and meticulous nature, forged by past suffering, makes him a resilient survivor in this dangerous world.
