Chapter 1: Introduction 1

"Ghost Head" is a young boy in his teens, with a bright smile and clear eyes. He is merely an ordinary student who has just entered junior high school. However, do not be deceived by his facade. When he dons the mask of "Ghost Head," which instills fear in countless corrupt officials and bullies, a glint of coldness flashes in his eyes, and he is filled with a murderous aura. In the midst of casual conversation, he can kill without a trace. Even the most formidable assassins and supernatural beings in the world cannot contend with him. The energy unleashed by the "Light of Annihilation" renders the sun and moon powerless, returning all things to dust.

Each of us has our own perspective on reality. Regarding certain unjust and unequal phenomena, as ordinary individuals, we can only feel powerless and dare to be angry but not to speak out. At such times, we hope that someone will stand up for justice, punish the strong, and support the weak; even if their methods are extreme, it does not diminish their reputation for "chivalry." However, in real life, possessing such courage and virtue alone is not sufficient to achieve one's goals. Everything is built upon a vast hand shaped like a map, and this hand is called—strength. Even if you are unwilling to admit it, this is an undeniable fact: strength determines everything. Based on this ideology, combined with youthful arrogance, rebelliousness, rich imagination, and boundless creativity, we have thus created this work set against the backdrop of organized crime, where various forces intertwine and interact, blending the underworld and the upper world, a passionate piece that is anti-realist yet grounded in realism—"The Legend of the Ghost Head."

When he is in glory, he is the optimistic and sunny youth in real life, a boy who is both a neighbor and a bookish artist, full of laughter and liveliness. When he is the "Ghost King," he becomes a superhuman with the power to destroy the world, an absolute underground emperor leading his gang brothers to unify the underground forces in China, a Chinese person safeguarding national interests, rendering international gang organizations helpless and eager to eliminate him, a trendsetter stirring up bloodshed on Chinese soil. You may call him a villain, or you may call him a hero. The reality and anti-reality within this character exhibit great antagonism and integration; it can be said that Rong He * Tu * Shu Yao himself is a contradiction, a combination, a unity of reality and anti-reality. However, such a contrast, when placed on this character, does not evoke any sense of discord; instead, it elicits both love and envy, both admiration and jealousy.

This is a legend about an individual, a person who is inherently different from others, having experienced extraordinary events since childhood. Destined to possess powerful void energy, he reverses the world, harbors a deep-seated hatred for evil, and walks the fine line between a hero and a villain, referring to himself as "Ghost Leader." This is also a legend about a group of people, who are passionate and courageous, skilled and bold, valuing loyalty and righteousness, with distinct personalities, following their leader to create myths. Their organization is called "Ghost Leader Alliance." Anyone who can be part of this is fortunate, for this is a tale built on a foundation of reality yet transcending it, about fearless youth, about burning passion, about rebellion, and a saga of blood and emotion.

If there are many things that we are destined to be powerless to change, then let us have you wield the boundless power of the void to change the world and reverse the Earth. We are also willing to beat the drums and shout for you, to uplift morale, to stand by you through life and death, never to part.
