Destiny Tomb: Eternal Bond
Ethan Shen never imagined that the rusty iron box he bought for fifty yuan at the Xicang Antique Market would become the key to a deadly trap—or that it would draw him into a lethal game spanning millennia. Owner of the family's "Antiquity Quest Studio," Ethan was an expert in appraising ancient relics but had never once set foot inside a tomb. That changed when the Celestial Box, forged from meteorite iron, exposed the secrets of a Qin Dynasty sorcerer. With two companions, he stepped into a labyrinth of death, meticulously engineered to destroy all who entered. Here, every step was a gamble between life and death: the suffocating poison of Seven-Toxin Crimson, the flesh-eating Black Centipedes of the River of Forgetfulness, animated terracotta warriors, the mind-twisting Grudge Fungus, the sound-warping Celestial Echo Stones… Two thousand years ago, the tomb's master had used the pinnacle of mechanical arts to craft an inescapable death trap. Yet even more unsettling was Ethan's discovery that this might not be his first time here. At every moment of peril, a mysterious force seemed to guide him—knowing every weakness, every hidden path, as though it had been waiting for him for a thousand years. "Debts of love from a past life must be repaid in this one." When the main coffin finally opened, when every secret was laid bare, and when the bloodthirsty Black Scale awakened, Ethan realized this was never a chance expedition, but a death pact forged across centuries. Can he uncover the truth within this maze of death? And is the shadow guarding him in the dark a savior—or the greatest threat of all? "Some debts, no matter how many years have passed, must always be paid." This is a tale of traps, death, and fate entwined. When a modern treasure hunter ventures into an ancient tomb, he discovers that the deadliest snare is not its mechanisms—but the shackles of destiny, forged for him a thousand years ago.
