You Can Strike It Rich Burning Furnaces Too

juanjuan_fang
Lu Fen’s life is a joke. He did three years in prison for sticking up for a “brother.” When he got out, his father was dead, his wife had remarried, and his mother no longer recognized him. He works as a furnace stoker at a crematorium. Monthly salary: 1,800 yuan. The man who framed him — his former brother-in-law — spits in his face in public. Lu Fen wipes his cheek. Says nothing. Then one day he collapses in front of the cremation chamber. A strange character — the Chinese funeral symbol “奠” — burns into his forehead. A voice speaks in his mind: Burn your lifespan. Make the wicked die a social death. A loan shark humiliates himself at a poker table. A corrupt official confesses his crimes in his village. The developer who ruined Lu Fen weeps and admits everything at his own company’s annual gala. The price? Every time he burns, he forgets something. Eventually, he forgets who he is. The only thing left is a name written on his palm. She’s a woman who kills pigs for a living. She says she’s his wife. She says: You keep burning. I’ll collect your body.

A TOWN FULL OF EVIL

Ajeji Village, once a quiet, humble town, hides shadows darker than anyone dares imagine. When Adegboyega returns to his childhood home after years away, he immediately senses that something is wrong—the air feels heavy, the silence is unnatural, and the familiar streets seem alien. What was once home now feels like a trap. As he moves through the village, he discovers that Ajeji is no ordinary place. Beneath its thatched roofs and dusty lanes lurk evil forces, manipulating the villagers and feeding on fear. Strange deaths, inexplicable events, and whispers of curses paint a picture of a town that thrives on darkness. Adegboyega, drawn by memories of his father and his own past, must navigate treacherous alliances, uncover hidden secrets, and confront forces far beyond human understanding. Throughout the first 21 chapters, the story unfolds as a tense battle between the ordinary and the supernatural. Adegboyega encounters allies and enemies alike—some villagers are unwilling pawns, others harbor dark intentions, and some, like his own family’s legacy, tie him inexorably to the town’s fate. Every step closer to the truth reveals deeper layers of corruption and ancient malevolence. By chapter 21, the stakes escalate: Adegboyega must face not just the town’s evil, but the shadows within himself. The village’s mysteries begin to intertwine with his own destiny, forcing him to question what is real, who can be trusted, and whether he can survive the darkness he has returned to confront. Ajeji Village is a story of suspense, horror, and the human struggle against unseen forces—where every shadow hides a secret, and every secret comes with a price.
