1 System Loading Complete

Midnight.

The cold moonlight shone into the room through the window and onto the floor like a layer of white frost, making one feel a little cold.

The four sneaky teenagers entered a classroom in the abandoned building of Bluefields College.

What a strong ghost aura!

Brian was amazed.

"Ding! Ghost aura+5, Ghost aura+5…"

"The system loading process is about to be complete. The host will be in a dead state for ten minutes. Please find a safe place to update."

After the notification sounds, a control panel suddenly appeared in his mind.

He only needed to press the start button to activate the system.

Brian was very excited. His system had been absorbing the thin ghost aura in the air for the past month. This moment had finally come.

The most important thing now was to find a place to update the system…

The red start button suddenly lit up!

Hey, hey, hey. System, what's the meaning of this?

"Ding! Dense ghost aura detected here. System undergoing mandatory loading. Host, please hope for the best."

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Don't be like this!

"Ding! Activation and loading complete. No interruptions allowed!"

"Damn…"

Brian was about to greet the young man beside him, but before he could react, he blacked out and fell to the ground.

[System prompt: Loading 1%… 2%…]

Brian lapsed into darkness.

It was almost midnight. The three teenagers who were guarding the unconscious Brian looked anxious.

One of them reached out to check his breathing. Luckily, he was still alive.

"Brian, wake up. We're just waiting for you now. Don't drop the ball at the critical moment, kid."

"Oh! My dear Jesse, is this your friend? He's so timid."

His breathing was normal and his heartbeat was normal. There was no difference from when he slept.

Jesse looked uncomfortable.

"Stop it. He just fainted from low blood sugar. Fatty, hand over the candy in your pocket."

"If you want candy, fine. Please don't call me Fatty. I hate it when people call me that."

Hey! My temper!

Jesse grabbed the fat teenager with her muscular body and quickly took out two lollipops from his pocket.

After that, he even waved his huge fist at him.

"Alright, stupid Fatty…"

The fat teenager retracted his neck resentfully and cursed.

…

Brian, who had fainted on the ground, was in agony. His face was pale, and he was completely unaware of the situation outside.

This scene caused the few teenagers who were used to unexpected situations to have a gloomy look on their faces.

The three of them were students from the nearby Bluefields College and they were also old members of the Red Fire Paranormal Club. Brian was a junior who had just entered the school today who joined the club after Jesse introduced him.

This club was not a place that one could enter by paying. There was an unwritten rule that one had to pass the test to enter the club.

The first step to joining the paranormal club was to prove that one had extraordinary courage. They were here tonight to bring Brian to complete the first test.

No one expected Brian to faint the moment he arrived. This caught everyone off guard.

At this moment, no one wanted to laugh at him because they were all in the same boat.

Tonight was not only Brian's newbie test, but also an opportunity for the wily old foxes in these clubs to earn extra money.

According to the rules of the paranormal club, every time there was a mission, there would be a mission gambling event. According to the difficulty of the test, the reward would be priced accordingly.

This exciting and interesting game naturally attracted a lot of attention. It had become a popular gambling game.

There were many types of bets in this operation.

If Brian could last ten minutes, 1 to 1.5.

If Brian could pass the first stage, 1 to 5.

If Brian could pass the second stage, 1 to 10.

Each level increased by five points, and so on.

Jesse was Brian's neighbor and schoolmate. It was also his idea to encourage Brian to join the paranormal club.

The other two teenagers listened to Jesse's words. They had bet all their money on this year's rookie, Brian, to pass the first round.

But now?

Before it even started, the protagonist of this operation suddenly fainted.

Was this what it meant to die before achieving victory?

"Oh, that damn hypoglycemia. My first bucket of gold is gone just like that. How unacceptable."

"Looks like I'm going to get my relief this month. I wonder if my old father, who is far away in Tata State, would whip my ass if he saw it."

"God, please guide us lost lambs out of the demons' predicament."

Everyone was dejected.

Just when they thought they had no hope of completing today's mission, a cough interrupted their thoughts.

"Cough cough, when did I become a god!"

Whoosh!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone shot their gazes towards the young man who slowly stood up.

"I'm so glad you're awake. I don't have to collect my relief money anymore. My father would be proud of you, Brian."

"Thank God! Thank you, Brother Brian, for your perseverance."

Brian smirked.

…

That was not hypoglycemia? Holy shit.

Jesse stared at him in disbelief as he awkwardly put the lollipop into his mouth.

"Are you alright? Can you continue participating in the mission?"

Brian nodded excitedly. Although there were some unexpected events, since he was here, he had to complete the test.

This was why he agreed to join the paranormal club.

He wanted to see what special abilities the system had.

Speaking of this system, it was also very unbelievable.

In his previous life, he was a programmer. In his spare time, he often made some small games for people to play. Suddenly, he received a link from an old fan called Q.

It was a comment.

"My dear Brian, I've been paying attention to you for a long time. I've played all the games you've designed. Now it's your turn."

Faced with a challenge, Brian, who thought highly of himself, was naturally fearless. He was also interested in this mysterious fan called Q. He downloaded a software game called Man Playing Ghost as instructed.

Brian was attracted by the new gameplay immediately.

Just as he was enjoying himself, there was a blackout in the apartment. Then, he… transmigrated.

After living here for a month, Brian gradually integrated.

This world was a parallel world similar to the Blue Planet. Its technology and civilization had some similarities with the original world he had come from.

The only difference was that this world was similar to the gaming world of humans and ghosts. Soon, it would usher in an era of spiritual energy recovery.

At that time, the changes in the world would cause some terrifying creatures to descend once again, and those supernatural creatures would be called demons and ghosts.

A month ago.

Brian transmigrated to this parallel universe. There was another system that followed him to this world.

It was the strongest skill in the game that he had played previously. It was called Man Playing Ghost System.

The system had been in a loading state until he woke up and heard the familiar prompt.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for officially activating the Man Playing Ghost system."
