Phantom Exorcist: The Spiritbound Cultivator
Lionel always believed his life was ordinary—until he started seeing ghosts. What was once an ordinary existence turns into a nightmare as spirits haunt his every waking moment, some begging for help, others seeking to drag him into the abyss.
Determined to keep a low profile, he hones his strange ability to exorcise spirits, quietly making a living as an underground ghost hunter. But fate has other plans.
During the town festival, a rampaging spirit wreaks havoc, and Lionel, in a moment of desperation, exorcises it before a massive crowd. Overnight, he becomes a hero and a freak.
Just as things couldn’t get worse, Lionel receives a mysterious letter, inviting him to the Etiril Academy, a hidden institution for those who wield power beyond the mortal plane.
Here, everyone is a ‘normal’ cultivator, except Lionel.
Worse, the spirits he exorcises don’t simply vanish; they whisper to him, leave traces behind, and change him in ways even he doesn’t understand.
Now, hunted by cultists, distrusted by his peers, and drawn into a centuries-old conspiracy, Lionel must uncover the truth behind his power before it consumes him.
Because the ghosts aren’t just haunting him anymore.
They’re waiting for him.
