Background

Lin Mu was an orphaned top student at West Forest City No. 2 Vocational Academy. He inherited an old house from his parents, Lin Lingfei and Mu Yuechan, and retained memories spanning two lives. 7 8 309

At his awakening ceremony, he became a Necromancer—a profession widely dismissed as weak—but secretly possessed the Black-grade talent Description Tamperer. Its ability to alter descriptions allowed him to transform weak skills and cheap equipment into assets far beyond their intended limits. 1 2

During the Apprentice Trial in Goblin Forest, Wang Hao intimidated other students into refusing to party with Lin Mu. Su Xiaoxiao nevertheless joined him, becoming the first person to stand beside him after his awakening. Their party cleared the dungeon with an SSS-rank evaluation. 2 7 8

His first class advancement engulfed Xilin City in black mist and attracted the attention of Mayor Fan Zhiheng and Education Director Ji Xiangwen. Lin Mu attributed the incident to a class mutation, an explanation the authorities accepted despite their suspicions. 33 34

Appearance

Lin Mu is a handsome young man whose restrained presence often causes others to underestimate him. After his sixth advancement, he can perfectly contain his overwhelming aura and appear no different from an ordinary college student. 74 551

• Frequently carries a Bone Staff.
• Has been described as a black-robed youth during story-dungeon operations. 116
• His calm, detached bearing creates a noticeable barrier between him and other students. 281
• His presence becomes increasingly oppressive to high-level professionals despite his outwardly casual demeanor. 546

Personality

Lin Mu is consistently calm under pressure. He responds to ridicule, intimidation, and political pressure with minimal emotion, preferring direct action over argument. He is difficult to entice with money, equipment, institutional prestige, or public recognition because he believes he can obtain such things himself. 39 78 103

He is highly strategic in combat preparation. He plans modifications around mana efficiency, summon durability, area damage, survivability, and experience gain, frequently setting alarms to exploit his talent's refresh timing. 46 70 125 205

Lin Mu is also lazy and openly uninterested in fame. He treats the opening of the Star Domain primarily as an opportunity to raise his level, declines ceremonies when they interfere with advancement, and often views dangerous enemies as “experience packs” or potential loot sources. 103 281 326 539

His detachment can turn ruthless. He manipulates enemies when useful, shows little mercy toward hostile forces, and considers stripping an enemy of authority more painful than killing them outright. 132 304 593
