Chen Gou transmigrates to the Blue Wave World, where evil spirits have invaded. All kinds of monsters that humans have previously imagined—Strigoi, aliens, spirits, the undead, zombies, demons, monsters—have appeared in this world. Humans awaken their magic and become Awakeners, who fight with their magic skills. After awakening, Chen Gou gets an innate skill called True Summoning.
