Enter the students of Semangat Junior College. Amidst their supposedly monotonous lives, a conspiracy is unfolding within their very circles. A conspiracy that could change everything that has been known to them. Forever.

"What are you talking about?" Simon responded.
"This whole thing was a lie," I said, "Sebastian set it all up."
"Did I really?" responded Sebastian.
"It's the only thing that makes sense." I said.
"Does it?" responded Sebastian.
"Could you please stop interrupting with questions?" I requested.
"I don't know, can I?" reacted Sebastian.
"…Thanks for not doing what I asked." I responded sarcastically.
"What do you mean it was all set up?" asked Stuart.
"Thinking about it," I said, "when we first arrived here, Sebastian said something to each of us and we lost consciousness soon after that. When I woke up I was in some strange room with Catherine and Jean."
"I think I remember waking up somewhere random." said Stuart.
"Where were you?" asked Catherine.
"I think I was somewhere on the top floor when I woke up." answered Stuart.
"Sebastian wanted to mess with us." I said, "So, he threw a few of us into random areas and selected some of us to commit murder! …Am I leaving anything out?"
"No," Sebastian laughed, "that's pretty much what actually happened!"
"Geez, what the hell is wrong with you!?" exclaimed James.
"I'm FROM hell." Sebastian left.
"You, sick twisted piece of-!" started Stuart.
"Anyways," I said, "in the end, YOU'RE responsible!"
"But who did I use to kill Isaac?" responded Sebastian, getting excited.
"I… don't know." I responded.
"If you can't figure THAT out," he said, "then you lose!"
"Isn't it obvious?" said Simon, "It was Matthias!"
"I did not!" responded Matthias.
"The words of a killer should not be trusted!" Simon blurted out.
"Shut up, 'person-that-has-actually-been-confirmed-to-have-killed-someone!" exclaimed Stuart.
"He's got a point." Catherine commented.
"But I-" Simon started.
"Stop it." I said, "Anyways, we now need to figure out who Isaac's killer is."
"Well," said Catherine, "all we've got are the scissors."
"So far, it seems Matthias is our only suspect." Jeff commented.
"See?" responded Simon, "I was totally right!"
"It's true that we don't have another suspect," I said, "But I still don't think it was him."
"As a relative of the suspect," said Sebastian, "you're probably biased!"
I tried to ignore what the demon butler had said.
"Well, we don't seem to have anything else that we can go off of." said Catherine, continuing the discussion.
"Wait," I said, "this entire time there's been a piece of evidence that has not yet been discussed!"
"Th-there is?" responded Simon.
"Yes," I said, "if you think back to what we found at the crime scene."
"You're referring to the tape on Isaac's left thumb…" commented Jeff.
"Gnrk." he responded.
"How is a piece of tape supposed to help us here?" asked Catherine.
"A DNA Test," I suggested.
"What kind?" asked Zack.
"Everything we can think of," I said, "and I want Matthias to take care of it."
"Okay," said Matthias, "there were no traces of blood or drool or anything like that, but we found a few prints. They belong to Zack!"
"You're covering up the real evidence!" exclaimed Zack, nervously.
"You seem uncomfortable." Jean commented, "But it's okay. We now know who is responsible."
"W-we do?" responded Simon.
"Yes," said Jean, "it had to have been Zack!"
"My prints weren't on the scissors!" he exclaimed, "Matthias is lying in a pathetic attempt to save his own ass!"
"I had a feeling you weren't what you seemed," I responded, "and I'm sure that you have lied to us about the evidence."
"No, that was James." he said.
"Don't throw this all on me!" reacted James.
"YOU'RE the one that said it." Jean responded.
"So… who else's prints are on the scissors!?" I asked.
"I'm confused," said Stuart, "hasn't it been established that Matthias' prints are on the scissors because they're his?"
"Zack purposely left something out of the report," responded Jeff, "The fact that he had gotten his own prints on the scissors!"
"But what is the purpose of the tape?" asked Catherine, "Doesn't it seem… random?"
"Is such a trivial detail so important?" asked Zack.
"Why would that tape exist anyways?" I asked.
"Well," said Jean, "we know that Zack's prints were on the tape, so perhaps the tape came from him?"
"That's possible, I guess." Stuart commented.
"Why even use tape of all things?" asked Matthias.
"Why use CLEAR tape specifically?" asked Simon.
"Not that any other kind would actually make sense." responded Jean.
"It doesn't make sense to go use italics in the rough drafts and then all caps either in the final." said Sebastian.
"What the hell are you talking about!?" exclaimed James.
"You people are crazy," replied Zack, "you're getting worked up over a stupid piece of tape."
"Are you suggested it was random?" I asked.
"I'm not suggested damn thing." he reacted.
"We're not getting anywhere," responded Stuart, "why don't we end this since we know who the killers are?"
"It's true that we have enough to end here," I said, "but I think we need to push the issue a bit further."
"Push the issue?" responded Zack, "No, I think we're done here. It's just a stupid piece of tape that shouldn't matter at all. You're wasting a ton of valuable time on something that doesn't even matter. So what if that two dollar crap tape exists?"
"I'm gonna have to stop you there." I said.
"What? Why?" responded Zack.
"How is it that you knew the price of the tape?" I asked.
"Tape normally costs about this much, right?" responded Zack.
"I don't know anyone that pays attention to the price of tape of all things." commented Stuart.
"This tape… is from Mihr'hai." responded Matthias.
"I-is it?" said Zack.
"Normally," said Matthias, "you could buy an item like this anywhere. This is a certain kind sold only at a few stores in Mihr'hai."
"What makes you think a bought it in Mihr'hai!?" responded Zack.
"If not," said Matthias, "we know these have been smuggled into other worlds, and taking certain materials out of my world is against the law."
"There's a smuggling ring," I said, "and their base is in Dovacath. Members have been found and caught in other worlds. It wouldn't take much time to figure out if you bought it there!"
"Have we really been arguing about tape for this long?" asked Simon.
"I guess this is it." said Zack.
"Why?" I said, "Why did you do it?"
"Have you guys forgotten?" he responded, "The demon butler made me do it!"
"Wrong." said Sebastian.
"H-huh!?" responded Zack.
"You lied to us!?" responded Simon.
"Technically, no." answered Sebastian.
"What do you mean?" asked Catherine.
"I was responsible for Simon murdering Mikaela," Sebastian, "but Zack murdered Isaac all on his own!"
"Time to kill!" exclaimed Sebastian.
"N-no, wait!" responded Zack.
"K-kill…?" reacted Simon.
The demon butler snapped his fingers and the two killers fell over.
"I feel uncomfortable." commented Stuart.
"Now," said Sebastian, tossing me the star key, "you'd better get the hell out of here before I kill the rest of you too!"
"Wh-what!?" I exclaimed.
"I-is this some kind of joke!?" asked Catherine.
"Nope." answered Sebastian, snapping his fingers.
Then, she fell over.
"What the hell!?" I exclaimed.
"You took too long." responded Sebastian, "Now, I have to take care of the rest of you."
"I'm gonna kick your ass!" I claimed.
"Iris, what the hell are you doing!?" exclaimed Matthias, "You're gonna get yourself killed!"
"There's a way to not die from his 'instant-kill' attacks." I said.
"And you waited until now?" he responded.
"Not all of us can do it." I replied.
"You're insane." reacted Matthias.
"You can't spend all your life trying to avoid danger." I responded.
After that, I ran off with a sword that suddenly appeared in my hand.
"What about the rest of you?" asked Matthias.
In the next minute, Jean ran toward Sebastian with her golden sword. Then, Jeff pulled out a laser gun and started shooting at our enemy.
"You were on MY side once." said Sebastian, "Oh, how you wound me now!"
The next thing I knew, papers of all shapes and sizes were all over the room and Stuart was on the back of a purple dragon small enough to fit in the room. We were surrounded by flames as we made our attacks and eventually, I was able to finish the job by cutting Sebastian into pieces with my sword.
"What were you talking about earlier?" asked Matthias.
"We have a power to shield ourselves," I said, "I actually took some time to look into this a while back."
"Before I knew about these powers," I answered, "I had book that told me about them- it works for the kind of powers our family has, but that's about it."
"Um… I hate to interrupt," said Jeff, "but have you seen Stuart?"
We turned around and saw Stuart on the ground. Checking his body, we were able to confirm that he was dead.
"Well, that's unfortunate." said James.
"The rest of you need to unlock the hidden dimension," said Jeff, "Jean and I have some work to do so we'll be leaving."

Ron is living a completely normal life with his friends until they're all summoned to another world as its heroes. It's good that death isn't permanent for them, but these high school students were given a really big responsibility! But that's not all, it seems that this is something bigger than simply being summoned to another world...

(This is a series that I started writing in high school. This web version makes some improvements here and there but because of when it started, it may be a bit rough.)

A few sections were written by my friend LOTWarrior117 and the original four stories were edited by him. Some parts of the story were written based on suggestions by ChromeDeer, another friend of mine. Also, the glossary (https://www.scribblehub.com/series/195239/called-to-another-world/glossary/) contains spoilers.

Everybody fell silent. The reporter who was bribed by Xifeng felt cold sweats on his back. Proof? He doesn't have any.... 

He was just here to make things difficult for her. How can he have any proof? 

The crowd who were shouting that they wanted justice for Xifeng also fell silent. It was only a post, nobody had any proof regarding the matter. 

Gathering all his courage the reporter replied, " No Miss Li. I don't have any proof. " 

Li Xiaolu smiled looking at everyone, " When something is posted online, as a reported your work is to inspect whether it is the truth or not. You work is to bring the truth to people and not mislead them. " 

What Li Xiaolu said was correct. Every reported present felt like they have been just slapped. 

They were making a big fuss merely on a post which was without any proof. Wasn't it utterly ridiculous on their part? 

"Miss Li, you say you have got the role because of your talent? Then do you have any proof for that? " he fired back. 

"Then should I act infront of everybody, to prove my point? " Li Xiaolu asked. 

The reported shook his head, "No Miss Li. I am sure you are talented and can act really well. But can a newbie's acting be better than an experienced actor? " he questioned. 

"If you don't want me to act infornt of anybody then what do you want me to do? " she asked.

"Miss Li we want to see the audition tape. The truth will eventually come to light once the audition tape gets played... " The reporter said whatever Xifeng had told him to say. 

"Yes Miss Li, play the audition tape. Everyone wants to see want was it that made the judges select you for this role? " 

"Li Xiaolu show us the audition tape. After seeing it, everyone will get to know whether that post was true or not..."

Everyone was demanding for the audition tape to be played. They were curious to see her audition video. Is her acting really good than Miss Xifeng? 

"The audition tape? " Li Xiaolu asked in a hesitating voice. 

Seeing her hesitating a little, the reporter felt glad. Xifeng had informed him about the destroyed audition tape and hence he mentioned it. 

Xifeng smirked looking at the crownd. Now what are you going to do Li Xiaolu? The audition tape is destroyed, what are you going to show them?

You should have never messed with me, Li Xiaolu. Now be ready to face all the humiliation that is going to come your way. 

You are just a rookie but I have been in this industry longer that you. You are nothing compared to me... 

So what if you have  Yang Mi and the Marvellous Universe as your support. Can they bring back the destroyed audition tape? 

"Miss Li are you not going to show us the audition tape? " the reporter asked seeing that Li Xiaolu was just calmly sitting without doing anything. Why is she so calm? 

"Actually - " Li Xiaolu was saying something when the reporter harshly interrupted her. 

"And Miss Li please don't give us any excuse for not showing the auditine tape. Today, everyone wants to see the audition tape. " 

"Show us the audition tape... " 

"We want to see the audition tape... " 

Li Xiaolu smiled raising her eyebrow at the reporter, " Who told you that I am not going to show you the audition tape? Everyone wants to see my audition tape then I'll play it for you" 
She motioned Yang Mi and the latter called two guards to set up the projection screen. Before the video was about to play Yang Mi took the mike from Li Xiaolu's hands.

Glarring at everyone, specially the bribed reported she said, "Before playing the video, I would like to say something. Li Xiaolu is my artist. And any artist working under Marvellous Universe doesn't need to show their power or sleep with someone to get the role. " 

"Every artist we have is talented and hardworking. Before saying something about others, you should first verify if it is the truth or not... " 

Then she glanced at Xifeng and smirked, "Also nobody from Marvellous Universe is that easy to bully. I hope thst the one who posted that nasty thing online, will keep this in mind "

"Now you can play the video... " Yang Mi said and stood next to Li Xiaolu. 

Dumbfounded, Xifeng looked at the blank screen. Wasn't the audition tape destroyed? Then what are they going to show us? 

Just now when Yang Mi looked at her, Xifeng felt goosebumps over all her body. Do they know that I was behind all of this? 

Thinking about everything she couldn't help but shiver. Do they really have the audition tape? 

Narrowing her eyes, she looked at the screen and humphed. So what? Even if they show us the audition tape, I don't think a newbie can do better than me? 

As the video started playing, everybody looked at the screen with great excitement.

On the day of her marriage, Li Xiaolu was forced to watch her beloved younger sister marry her fiancé. 

Betrayed by her love, her family, she was killed. However, she is reborn to three years before where it all began. She aims to take her revenge while also fulfilling her dreams at the same time. 

Still one day, she falls for her sister's underhanded schemes where she meets the domineering CEO. 

Zhe Han: "You dare to run away after sleeping with me?"

Li Xiaolu: "Umm... can you consider it a one night stand?"

Zhe Han: "Take responsibility."

Li Xiaolu: "What???"

Zhe Han: "Marry me.."

Li Xiaolu: "....."

Just as Song Shuhang returned to his room, one of the huge cocoons started to change shape.
It was Senior Cave Lord Snow Wolf's cocoon. He was the last person to get one-fourth of one vial of demodragon medicine from Song Shuhang, and also the last person that started spinning the cocoon.
And yet, he was the first one to break out of his cocoon.
Senior Snow Wolf used his sharp claws to slice the cocoon and slash it open. Next, his large body drilled out of the cocoon, smoothly landing on the ground.
"Eh? I'm the first one to come out?" Cave Lord Snow Wolf himself couldn't believe that he was the first one to get out of his cocoon.
Yu Jiaojiao glanced at Cave Lord Snow Wolf, and, somewhat disappointed, said, "Senior Snow Wolf's build didn't change at all!"
She was looking forward to seeing Cave Lord Snow Wolf with some explosive muscles. Had that happened, it would have been truly a sight to behold to see Song Shuhang and Snow Wolf standing side by side.
Had the four seniors turned into Musclewhite, Muscleslayer, Musclecrane, and Musclewolf after coming out their respective cocoons, she would have taken a photo of the group of them and Musclehang, uploading it to the Nine Provinces Number One Group... At that time, there would be several people asking for the name of the group to be changed to 'Nine Provinces Muscle Group'.
Yu Jiaojiao sighed. It was truly a shame.
"His build changed a bit, but the changes weren't as exaggerated as little friend Shuhang's." The nearby Fairy Dongfang Six glanced at Senior Snow Wolf with her beautiful eyes. Thanks to her 'Bewitching Eyes', she could see that Cave Lord Snow Wolf's build had strengthened a bit. However, it was hardly noticeable, and one basically couldn't tell by looking.
"Ahahaha, Fellow Daoist Dongfang Six has good eyesight," Cave Lord Snow Wolf said with a smile.
Fairy Dongfang Six asked, "How was it? Was it fun to spin a cocoon?"
"It was fun. Moreover, my constitution strengthened way beyond my expectations. This cocoon spinning session was completely worth its value," Cave Lord Snow Wolf said with a nod.
Just as they were discussing, a second cocoon was ripped apart, and True Monarch White Crane drilled out of it.
True Monarch White Crane's build didn't change much, either. It still had that petite build belonging to its feminine form.
After breaking out of the cocoon, it immediately shifted its head and glanced at Venerable White's cocoon.
"Senior White hasn't come out of his cocoon yet!" True Monarch White Crane said regretfully.
But in the next moment, a shy expression suddenly appeared on its small face, turning it red. The cocoon it had spun was now closely attached to Venerable White's.
Hundreds of different scenes suddenly flashed through True Monarch White Crane's mind.
In a while, once Venerable White had come out of his cocoon, it would immediately store away these two closely attached cocoons.
After all, it was the proof that Venerable White and it were 'linked' together.
❄️❄️❄️
"Senior White Crane's build didn't have any change, either... that's quite unlucky." Yu Jiaojiao had a disappointed expression on her face. Then, she turned her head around, and said, "Shuhang, only your build changed. It seemed you were the special one."
Song Shuhang forced a smile.
Now, only Venerable White and Young Master Phoenix Slayer's cocoons were left.
Venerable White had drunk one whole vial of demodragon medicine... perhaps this was the reason he was taking so long to come out?
And what was the deal with Young Master Phoenix Slayer? Why hadn't he come out of his cocoon already?
❄️❄️❄️
Just as Song Shuhang and the others were bored, waiting for Venerable White and Young Master Phoenix Slayer to come out of their cocoons, Song Shuhang's phone rang again.
He took out his mobile phone, and looked at the number of the caller.
Yu Jiaojiao asked, "Is it that salesman again?"
"No idea, but it's again an unfamiliar number." Song Shuhang picked up the phone. He had nothing to do at this time. Even if it was a salesman, he would accompany him for a chat since it would cost him nothing. If the salesman was a girl, he wouldn't mind chatting all night.
"Woof, woof~ Shuhang, Shuhang, woof~ are you still in your room? Woof, woof~" Doudou's familiar voice was transmitted from the other end.
It was the pekingese Doudou.
"Yes. Doudou, are you done sweeping that dungeon clean with your wife?" Song Shuhang felt somewhat guilty when this topic was brought up. Due to that deal between him and Doudou, he was once cast as 'Doudou', and participated in a video call with his in-game 'wife'. Now then, was that poor girl still thinking that he was 'Doudou'? Reminiscing about this matter made him feel somewhat guilty.
"Woof, woof~ I finished cleaning that dungeon with my main wife long ago. Now, I'm helping my second wife in a guild war. Woof~ so fun. The power level of these trashes probably doesn't go past 5. None of them is a match for this dog god!" Doudou said complacently.
"..." Song Shuhang suddenly had the urge to hang up the call!
"Right. Shuhang, is Phoenix Slayer still in your room, spinning that cocoon?" Doudou asked.
Song Shuhang glanced toward Young Master Phoenix Slayer, who had yet to come out of the cocoon, and said with a nod, "It's been a while since Senior Phoenix Slayer finished spinning his cocoon, but he has yet to come out."
"Ahaha, perfect! Wait a minute, I will head over there," Doudou said happily.
Song Shuhang had a confused expression on his face. What was Doudou planning to do?
❄️❄️❄️
After a short moment, Doudou pushed the door of Song Shuhang's room open. At this time, he had the appearance of a huge, five meters long dog.
After entering the room, he stood erect. Song Shuhang noticed that there was a large backpack hanging from his front paws.
"Young Master Phoenix Slayer... which is his cocoon?" Doudou raised his head, and glanced at those two big cocoons on the ceiling that were still intact.
Yu Jiaojiao pointed at Young Master Phoenix Slayer's cocoon, and said, "That's Senior Phoenix Slayer's cocoon."
"Doudou, what are you planning to do?" Song Shuhang asked out of curiosity.
"Ahahaha, just wait and see!" After he had said this much, Doudou stretched out his paw, and took a huge roll of adhesive tape out of the backpack.
Afterward, he jumped upward and flew until arriving next to Young Master Phoenix Slayer's cocoon.
Then, under the eyes of Song Shuhang and the others, Doudou stretched out his claws, and delicately cut the part of the cocoon attached to the ceiling.
Next, he opened his mouth and released a magical wind that acted as a support for Young Master Phoenix Slayer's cocoon, allowing it to quietly float midair.
"Very well. This position is good," Doudou muttered to himself.
Afterward, he used his claws to unstick the roll of adhesive tape, and glued the sticky side of the tape to Young Master Phoenix Slayer's cocoon.
"Wahahaha~ Phoenix Slayer, today, you finally gave me the opportunity. Woof, woof, woof~" Doudou laughed complacently. He held the roll of adhesive tape in his mouth, and started to circle around Young Master Phoenix Slayer's cocoon. As such, layer upon layer of adhesive tape was wrapped around the cocoon.
Very soon, Young Master Phoenix Slayer's whole cocoon was wrapped up in a thick layer of tape; there wasn't even a single place that the tape didn't cover.
However, Doudou didn't stop, and continued to circle around the cocoon until the roll of adhesive tape was completely finished—only then was he satisfied.
"Yuk!" After spitting the empty roll of adhesive tape in his mouth, Doudou glued the huge cocoon, which had now gotten even huger, back to the ceiling.
"That will do." Doudou clapped his front paws with a smug expression on his face.
"..." Song Shuhang.
"..." Yu Jiaojiao.
Cave Lord Snow Wolf, Fairy Dongfang Six, and True Monarch White Crane were also speechless.
After finishing what he was doing, Doudou returned to the ground, and shrunk back to the size of an ordinary pekingese, arriving next to Song Shuhang.
Then, he stood erect and used one of his paws to lean against Song Shuhang's leg.
Afterward, he pointed at the huge cocoon and said smugly, "What do you think? It's perfect, isn't it? It's simply a piece of art."
"Doudou, what's the use of doing something of the sort? Even if you add ten more layers of adhesive tape, won't Senior Phoenix Slayer instantly slash it open together with the cocoon whenever he comes out?" Song Shuhang ridiculed him.
The nearby Fairy Dongfang Six blinked her eyes. Little friend Shuhang, shouldn't you ridicule Doudou for wrapping Fellow Daoist Phoenix Slayer's cocoon in layer upon layer of tape? How come the topic of conversation shifted to the quality of the adhesive tape...?
"Ahaha, you think this dog god hasn't thought about this point?" Doudou said smugly. "The tape I used this time was very special. That isn't ordinary adhesive tape, but a special tape that was reinforced through the magical techniques of cultivators. This formidable tape was advertised even in the Daily Cultivator. According to the description of the product, even flying boats belonging to cultivators can be temporarily fixed with this tape in case of emergency. In addition, even a cultivator of the Fifth Stage Realm will have to use some strength to rip open this adhesive tape. Needless to say, after I wrapped him in all those layers of tape, Phoenix Slayer will cry bitter tears," Doudou said complacently.
"..." Song Shuhang.
Was this kind of advertisement really trustworthy?
If that advertisement was trustworthy, people would grow wings after drinking Red Bull; they would feel as though they were worth it after buying L'Oreal products, while those eating at McDonalds would be lovin' it, and so on.
Of course, all of it was just nonsense.
Doudou looked at Song Shuhang's face, and seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. Therefore, he laughed, and said, "Shuhang, don't worry. I've tested the strength of the tape personally, and it's absolutely excellent."
Then, he also added, "That petty Phoenix Slayer thought that I wouldn't be able to give him a lesson, since he has advanced to the Fifth Stage... but he was too naive! One day, I'll make him remember the terror of lying on the ground with me above him!"
"..." Song Shuhang. By the time you advance to the Fifth Stage Realm, Young Master Phoenix Slayer will have gotten even stronger, and you still won't be able to beat him.
In addition, the tape that Doudou had used required cultivators of the Fifth Stage Realm to use 'some strength' to rip it open; it was by no means indestructible!
If Young Master Phoenix Slayer managed to get rid of that layer of adhesive tape while coming out of the cocoon, it would be time for Doudou to die!
Would Young Master Phoenix Slayer like some dog meat hotpot?
Song Shuhang glanced at Doudou. Should he point this out and have Doudou escape as soon as possible?
Just as Song Shuhang was in deep thoughts, his mobile phone rang again.
He was receiving a lot of calls tonight!
Song Shuhang took out his phone and unlocked it.
Then, he discovered that the caller was a certain… Senior White.
"..." Song Shuhang raised his head, and glanced at Senior White's big cocoon.
However, he still picked up the phone.
"Hello, Shuhang." Senior White's voice seemed rather feeble.
"Senior White? How are you? Did something happen? Are you about to come out of the cocoon?" Song Shuhang quickly asked.
"No, no. Nothing happened, "Venerable White said. "I just feel that the interior of this cocoon is rather good and soft. Then, without me noticing, I started to get sleepy~ Therefore, I'll sleep inside the cocoon now. Remember to wake me up tomorrow morning."
Venerable White continued in a feeble voice, "That's all I wanted to say. Good night~"
After saying this much, Venerable White yawned, and hung up the call.
"..." Song Shuhang.
Well... as expected of Senior White?


One day, Song Shuhang was suddenly added to a chat group with many seniors that suffered from chuuni disease. The people inside the group would call each other ‘Fellow Daoist’ and had all different kinds of titles: Palace Master, Cave Lord, True Monarch, Immortal Master, etc. Even the pet of the founder of the group that had run away from home was called ‘monster dog’. They would talk all day about pill refining, exploring ancient ruins, or share their experience on techniques.
However, after lurking inside the group for a while, he discovered that not all was what it seemed... 

           Betty checks into a room at the 5 Seasons. As she takes her key, the receptionist hands her a cassette tape. Betty reluctantly takes it.
          "Thanks" Betty says hesitantly.
          As Betty walks into her room, she throws her stuff on her bed. Betty walks over to the TV and puts the cassette tape in. it shows her mother, Alice Cooper, tied to a chair.
           "Betty, you need to help me! I'm being held captive. You need to save me within 3 days or else they are going to kill me! Betty please don't hesitate to involve Tom Keller. I love you Betty!" Alice says on the tape.
          The tape ends. Betty falls to the ground crying. Betty grabs a gun. 
          "Who the hell gave you the tape?" Betty asks, pointing the gun at the receptionist.
           " Some guy in a mask, I don't know who he is, please don't shoot me!" The receptionist shouts.
          Betty grabs her hair. The receptionist yelps in pain. "Did you know what was on the tape?" Betty asks.
         "No!" The receptionist screams.
         Betty walks out of the building. 
          "Someone has my mom, and someone is going to pay." Betty says to herself.

Betty Cooper receives a call from her hometown of Riverdale. In shock, she returns to her hometown to see if the body is actually who she thinks it is. Shortly after her arrival however, Bodies start showing up all over Riverdale.


Smokey's entire body was soaked with blood. 

Most of it was his, but the rest of it was from people he tried to save. Ultimately, he felt more rage than he could possibly comprehend at this moment. However, no matter how mad he got, the women that the Kraken kiled would not come back.

"Stowp It! Stowp it!" May Tape screamed and held out her hands. "I know deep down inside you're a misunderstood Kraken! Stowp It now or I'll scream!"

"That's not going to work, May" Smokey pulled a piece of debris out of his rib and started to float in the air. "He's too strong! EVen I don't stand a chance against him! Damn it! Where is Harvard! He told me two weeks ago I could go to the candy store when he was with Lilac and he just forgot about me! Ugh, I'm going to rob him of all he's worth when I find him!"

###

Two hours later,

May Tape was dangling in the air from the mouth of the Dragontail Kraken with its tongue wrapped around her. Smokey was imbedded in the chimney of a house head first, and he was unable to move. He had literally 10 vitality left and most people had thought he was undefeatable. 

"Hamlord! Please! SAVE ME!" May Tape cried out! "PWEASE! I fudding don't want to die again! Not this way!"

Duh! Duh! Duh!

Harvard came riding on a donkey into Village 99 with sweat dripping down his head. He jumped up and looked at the time!

[Current time is 12:00 AM]
[Magnificent Daylight Daggers have activated!]
[Damage + 1000] 600%
[Agility + 3000] 600%
[Vitality +1000] 100%
[You have equipped the Magnificent Daylight Daggers, and the Magnificent Daylight Mask! (This part will have to be explained to you at a later time!] 

"AHHHHH! I'm down here! Let her go you stupid Kraken!" Harvard stepped off his back foot and jumped on a chimney before he completely underestimated his speed and landed on the Krakens back.

It was also confused, they both looked at each other, the Kraken and Hamlord, and realized that something was familiar about the other person.

"Daddy?" The Dragontail Kraken gently placed May Tape down and tensed its eyes. It had really big eyes, so it seemed much more terrifying when it tensed them. "You have daddy's daggers. You're going to die a million deaths!"

###

Harvard and the Kraken started fighting while millions watched.

Many that had fled to Village 100 and warned them to pack and head to Central City were in awe of a man flying through the air with two daggers.

He didn't really fly, but he had so much agility that he jumped really fast. It had only been a minute, but it seemed like thousands of moves had been traded between the Kraken and Hamlord.

"That man is impressive, mommy," A small girl held her mother's hand while she wheeled her half dead father in a wheel barrel. "How is he so fast? Did he get slapped in the face by a woman or something?"

"I don't know, but mommy has a much more noraml daddy," She sighed and looked down at her bleeding husband. "I really hope we can find a doctor."

Boom!

Hamlord thought of all the people around him, especially the ones that looked like they were about to die from their wounds and slashed with his full power.

He had a skill called Magnificent flash that could only be used for a minute! However, time felt much different when you had 4000 agility points!

Swoosh! 

Harvard's dagger turned forward and cut into an incomming laser beam from the Kraken and then arrived in its mouth. Inside of it, he finally found a place without like a thousand layers of armor.

"Die! Die you viscious beast!]

Harvard stabbed down with all his might into the beasts mouth! It had to die! It had to die a million deaths!

###

Boom!

Harvard stabbed down into the Dragontail Kraken's mouth and a large explosion ripped out in all directions. Village 99, which had hundreds of thatched huts and a few hotels made out of bricks felt a gigantic shockwave spread through it.

At the same time, Harvard and DRagontail Kraken couldn't be seen because of the large dust cloud that formed.

At Village 100, people gasped! What had just happened!

"I think it ate him."

"No, no way!" The little boy from earlier complained and tried his hardest to wrap his dad's wounds. "Why would that idiot go in the Dragontail Krakens mouth! It ate like a thousand people today!"

"Let's hope he's fine!" The mother kissed her husband on the head. "Please! Please be fine Hamlord! Please be fine!"

###

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lightning clouds formed over Village 99 while the smoke finally cleared. The Dragontail Kraken roared in the air and then looked down at May Tape as she cried on her knees.

"Pwease! Pwease don't kill Hamlord! Pwease! You can eat me instead!" May Tape begged and took out a small pearl she found on a beach. "Pwease! Pwease stowp!��

"Mother? Mother is that you?" The Dragontail Kraken spit out Harvard into a building and smiled. "Mother! You found me! How did you know I was here!"

"Mowther?" May Tape said trembling on her knees. "Please don't make me feel happy and then kill me! Pwease!"

[The Dragontail Kraken has become subservient to May Tape!]
[The Dragontail Kraken is returning to its original form!]

May Tape watched the large Dragon tail Kraken shrink down in size before a beautiful woman rushed towards her with a white dress on. She smiled and wrapped her arms around May Tape before picking her up into the air.

"Haha! So glad you found my mother! She's been trapped in that pearl for ages!"

###

Hamlord and Smokey put ice on their wounds, but felt ashamed. 

Both of them had never guessed in a million years that May Tape would've thought enough ahead to talk to the Menace Lord's daughters about ways to protect Harvard. 

She had went on a Quest to a distant beach, and entered into a dungeon to get the pearl while Harvard was busy underwater.

However, what surprised them the most was that the Dragontail Kraken also had a human form. And she wasn't too hard to look at.

[New Quest Received! Are you ready for your next adventure?]

'Oh god, not again! Please! Not another hard quest!'

Harvard had been a well respected lawyer, but then he got killed by his girlfriend because he forgot to take out the garbage and she also had robbed a bank.

Afterwards, he had a lot of time to think in the underworld before he got to meet King Yama - a beautiful women with the greatest mounds and body he'd ever seen on the ruler of the underworld. 

She invited him to take part in the phantom universe expansion pack, and because of his lot in life, she decided to give him a little bit of much needed help. He gets lucky enough to inherit the Evolving Ghost System, and journey into the new expanded universe! 

Inside, he will meet lots of beautiful women, complete quests from badass NPCS, and have fun joining a guild and terrorizing the new universe. 

There is nothing he cannot do with his new system!

[Evolving Ghost System would like to give you a gift basket!]

[All Host has to do is complete a simple Quest to receive it!]]


'Oh god, I hope it's more simple than killing 100,000 Ghost Slimes. My reputation is still ruined because of that!"

Harvard nervously opened the prompt.

"Oh no! Oh god! Here we go again!"

Tape recorder had its popularity in the eighties and nineties, but with the advent of internet, it had slowly become obsolete. Perhaps to preserve the feel of the bygone era, Tian Teng Medical School had placed many antiques inside this room, and the most conspicuous was the tape recorder and an old-fashioned flashlight.
Chen Ge was reminded of a horror flick he had seen a long time ago. The recorder would play on its own every midnight, and those who heard it would die a horrible death.
Is this just a prop? Chen Ge completely ignored the 'dead body' that was collapsed on the table. He walked past it to head for the bookshelf. When he was one meter away from the recorder, the play button pressed down on its own.
A sensor? No, someone is probably remote-controlling it. Chen Ge turned back to look, and the dead body was lying in such a way that his head was deep buried inside his arms. Compared to the dead body, Chen Ge was more interested in this recorder before him. After the button was pressed, the tape started to play. After the initial white noise, a middle-aged man's voice could be heard.
"Please, forgive me! Please, I beg of you!" The man was begging, and it sounded like death would have been a release. Following his screams, there was sound of cutting and tearing. It was direct and gory. When Chen Ge heard it, the images appeared in his mind. Bones were snapped, and skin was torn open; it was the cruelest torture.
"Tian Teng probably wouldn't use this for normal visitors."
The dead body on the table twitched slightly when he heard Chen Ge say that. The reality was not far from his speculation; the content of the tape had been swapped at the last minute specifically for Chen Ge. Chen Ge had gotten used to fear and terror, but he still flinched at gore and cruelty. In that manner, he was no different from a normal person.
"It's still ongoing? Do they plan to use this as the background music?" Chen Ge listened patiently because he assumed that the recording would contain clues that might help him clear the game. However, he listened for a full minute, and it was still screaming from the torture and begging for mercy.
"The person would have fainted from blood loss earlier than this. How can he still be so spirited after one minute of fatal blood loss? Then again, the actor they hired sure is a good one. He has managed to create a scary feeling just using his voice." The man's voice eventually weakened, and he started to pay for all the horrible things he had done.
Chen Ge then realized that the victim on the tape was the director of Tian Teng Medical School, a man who would do anything for money.
"Who would have thought that this is a story with a moral of good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people?" At the end of the tape, the director admitted to all the bad things he had done. He begged his tormenters to not harm his daughter with his last breath.
Here, the twist arrived. Just as the director begged for his tormentors to not harm his daughter, there was the sound of door opening in the recording. It was quickly followed by a woman's scream, and the director screamed, "Zhenzhen, run!"
The recording ended there, and Chen Ge did not know what to think about this story. The director was obviously guilty, but the daughter was probably innocent. In any case, that was not important. The important thing was, the daughter had walked into the room when the monsters were tormenting her father. Then, her ending would probably be the same as her father's.
All the mannequins inside Tian Teng Medical School have the name Xu Zhenzhen written on them, what is the meaning of that?
Tian Teng Medical School was famous within the Haunted House circle, and all the scenes had been designed by a professional team. Challenging such a large moving Haunted House at its highest difficulty, there had to be something to this name.
All the workers inside the Haunted House are playing a fake ghosts, but that's all to hide an actual ghost?
From the 'female body' that greeted everyone at the entrance and the mannequins that had lost their organs in the autopsy room as well as the repetition of Xu Zhenzhen's name over the Haunted House, Chen Ge had an idea why Tian Teng Medical School did all these things.
No matter how realistic the actor's make-up is, the visitors know internally that they're fake, so they have to create a 'real ghost' that feels like she's trailing behind all the visitors, and Xu Zhenzhen takes on that role.
The creativity was there, and it gave Chen Ge a lot of inspiration. All this for a real ghost? In that case, I'll give you one.
Chen Ge realized that the tape was almost done. He pressed the eject button. He was facing away from the 'dead body', so no one knew what he was doing.
This kind of tape recorder is no longer sold on the market. Perhaps I can find one at the flea market, but that's only if I'm lucky. Now that I have one before me, I might as well use it to try this tape that I have.
He inserted his tape into the recorder and pressed play. The tape started to roll, but there was no sound.
An empty tape?
Chen Ge waited.
He walked around the room, like he was admiring the décor.
After leaving Third Sick Hall, Tian Teng Medical School was like going on a holiday. Chen Ge had not felt so relaxed in a long time already. A Haunted House is indeed a good place to release stress. When I go back, I'll have to change my promotional slogan.
After a stroll around the room, Chen Ge picked up a yellowed newspaper from the floor. He scanned it and realized that it was not fake. It was dated several years ago.
"Xing Hai Morning News?" Chen Ge was intrigued. Four years ago, a woman had run to an abandoned hospital to commit suicide. After investigation, it was made clear that the woman's name was Xu Zhenzhen. The hospital had once belonged to her father, and her father had committed suicide ten years before that in his own office.
Same destination but different victim. This mysterious double suicide caused a wave through Xing Hai. The medical doctor confirmed that the woman had died from suicide, but after her death, obvious red handprints surfaced on her body; it looked very weird.
After that, people's interest moved on, and so did the police. The case was thus ended.
The victim's name is Xu Zhenzhen. Looks like this is the secret hidden at Tian Teng Medical School.
Chen Ge put down the paper. A normal visitor would have run out screaming and would have missed details like this. Only a brave visitor would search slowly, and when they found out that the Haunted House was based on a real event, the defense in their heart would crack. They would start to doubt themselves, increasing the fear inside their heart.
Tian Teng Medical School's design was perfect, but those designers who had been in the business for more than a decade did not expect that they would receive a customer like Chen Ge one day.
This Haunted House sure is interesting. Chen Ge thought back to the map that he had seen inside the security stop. He had visited two thirds of the scenes already, and he was close to the exit.


The hearse with the weird odor slowed to a stop before the entrance. The sound of pebbles could be heard bouncing on the ceiling. There were footsteps coming from the corridor, and there seemed to be someone sawing next door. The door knob to the room rattled slightly, and the faucet in the bathroom kept dripping even though it had been screwed shut. There was a rubber ball that rolled on its own underneath the bed. Wet footsteps started to surface one after another on the floor. 
At 3 am, Chen Ge held a cleaver in his hand as he hid beside the room heater. The call he was trying to make was finally answered. "Landlord, is this what you meant by 'the house can be a little crowded at night'‽"

Other than the tape and newspaper article, Chen Ge found many other hints about Xu Zhenzhen inside the office. For example, in a broken photo frame left in the corner of the bookshelf, there was a picture of a father and daughter, but both of their faces had been blocked out. There was the man's will inside the table's drawer, and it did mention the name Xu Zhenzhen. There was not one picture of Xu Zhenzhen, but the mention of the girl's name could be found all over the Haunted House. 

Tian Teng Medical School is using a real case to design their Haunted House. Aren't they afraid of evoking the real Xu Zhenzhen? Haunted Houses were natural locales where negative energy gathered. It shied away from sunlight and was the perfect hiding location for spirits and ghosts. They say dreams are reflections of real life. Every day, people in the Haunted House are calling Xu Zhenzhen's name, what if she heard them? 

Tian Teng Medical School had no idea what they had done. They had completely replicated a real case inside their Haunted House and used all the real case's information as hints. It might have looked clever to others, but Chen Ge thought that they were playing with fire. 

There are 'gods' everywhere. Even if you don't believe in them, you don't need to go and actively taunt them. 

Even though Chen Ge was brave, it was undeniable that he had never been incautious of the unknown. It was why he would prepare extensively before going on any Trial Missions. He had finished half of Tian Teng Medical School, and the light in the corridor was getting brighter. 

It's time to leave. 

Chen Ge was not sure if Xu Zhenzhen was inside the Haunted House, but he knew his target. His focus was to clear the Haunted House, and that was the only thing he was going to do. After another round, Chen Ge returned to the tape recorder. When he got close, he could hear something that sounded like muffled crying. It was soft and seemed to come from inside the recorder. 

The ghost inside the tape is coming out? Chen Ge took one step back and reached one hand into his pocket to hold the ballpoint pen while his other hand shoved the 'dead body' on the table lightly. He was afraid that accidents might happen, and he did not have the time to look after this actor. 


However, to his surprise, he only nudged the person lightly when the man leaned to his side and collapsed onto the floor. 

What happened? Is it Xu Zhenzhen? He had seen real ghosts before, and he knew this could be the sign that a real ghost had appeared. Am I that lucky? Even when I'm visiting other people's Haunted House, I ran into a ghost! 

Chen Ge started to panic when he was reminded of his Specter's Favored title. He immediately rushed forward to help the man on the floor. He wanted to save the man before it was too late. The actor died from playing dead? What kind of story will that make‽ 

As Chen Ge squatted down to grab the man's hand, a human head stuck out from underneath the table. The actor had been using his body to block the space from Chen Ge's sight. It was so close that Chen Ge did not have time to evade. The human head rammed right into his chest. His heart raced and only calmed down after several seconds. 

Chen Ge looked at the mannequin head in his arms and the 'dead body' on the ground, and it dawned on him. "Brother, are you trying to get revenge for humiliating you at the nursery?" 

When the 'dead body' was collapsed on the table earlier, his face had been hidden from view. Now that his face was revealed, Chen Ge realized that the man had not even changed his make-up. His face was smudged with fake blood. He placed his finger under the man's nostrils. After making sure there was a breath, Chen Ge stood up. He did not plan to stay there any longer; it was time to leave. 

He walked to the tape recorder and pressed the stop button. He pressed it multiple times, but the tape kept playing. He tried other buttons, but there was still no response. It can't be stopped? 

Chen Ge could not leave the tape inside Tian Teng Medical School, but taking it with him would be stealing. When Chen Ge was operating the recorder, the light crying slowly became louder, and there were some other sounds mixed into it. It sounded like electrical current but very muffled. 

Chen Ge tried to remember the introduction to the tapes. About one second later, a voice appeared on the recording. It could have been male or female, and it only appeared for mere seconds. 

Someone is talking? What is he trying to say? 

This was the first time Chen Ge had communicated with the tape. He did not dare take this lightly; after all, this was a ghost that had been given to him by the black phone. He listened patiently, and the voice reappeared soon. 

"Pain…" Mixed within white noise, the voice sounded unreal. As the tape continued to play, the voice became clearer. 

It's a man's voice, and it sounds young. 

He focused his hearing on the tapes and suddenly the play button on the recorder pressed downwards. Chen Ge turned to look at the 'dead body' on the floor. The man had also heard the noises inside the recording. He silently reached into his pocket to press on a mini controller. However, it was too late to stop the recorder now. The baleful specter inside the tape had awoken. Even if he pressed all the buttons, it would be pointless. 

"So painful…" 

The voice inside the tape continued to grow as if the baleful specter was slowly losing control. The only thing Chen Ge could think of doing then was to leave with the tape recorder. 

Following his inability to stop the recorder after several tries, the 'dead body' on the floor opened his lips to say, "What's going on?" 

He sat up with the fake blood flowing down his face. 

"Something wrong with your equipment?" Chen Ge could not possibly say that he had inserted a baleful specter into their recorder, and now he could not remove it. 

"I suppose so." The actor was unsure as well. He reached out to grab the recorder, but before his finger touched it, a blood-curdling scream could be heard coming from the recorder. 

" So painful! " 

The actor shivered, and he pulled back his hand like he had been shocked. 

"What are you so scared? Isn't this a set-up by your Haunted House?" Chen Ge stood before the recorder to prevent accidents from happening. 

"I was there when we recorded the tape; we didn't record anything like that!" the 'dead body' said seriously. He took out his phone and asked inside a chatroom, "Who tweaked with the tapes inside the director's office?" 

There was no answer, but in this short period, the voice coming from the recorder turned mad. It was filled with endless hate and resentment. 

" So painful! So f*cking painful! " 

It sounded like there were actual knives poking holes in his body, and he was trying his best to stop the wounds but could only look on helplessly as more wounds appeared on his body. The actor's body was shaking. At that moment, he was truly afraid. 

"Your Haunted House sure is courageous to use an actual incident to design your set. Weren't you afraid that the spirit might return to haunt you?" 

Chen Ge purposely lowered his voice as he stared at the actor. 

"I hear people say you shouldn't repeat a dead person's name willy-nilly, whether verbally or in written form. Otherwise, bad things might happen." 

"Stop!" the actor yelped. He told everything that had happened inside the office in the chatroom. Then with forced confidence, he told Chen Ge, "Just a technical accident. It'll be fine." 

Just as he said that, there were footsteps coming from outside the door. The 'pregnant ghost' that Chen Ge had seen earlier rushed into the room with terror on her face! 

She was holding a piece of paper in her hand, and she was gasping for air. 

"Ah Rui? Why are you here?" the actor asked nervously. He was already panicking, and it only heightened when he saw the female actor. 

"There's something on the note! I saw it accidently." The woman placed the note before the actor. "She is back!"
