The stories I will upload isn't mine.
This will consist of the stories I found on Youtube or in Reddit. I'm making this so that I will be able to archive the stories and at the same time read it in WN's UI (Which is so goddamn good). You can find the authors of said stories in the 'Author's Thoughts' section at the end of each chapter. And one last note, please support the authors of the stories if you find it good. 

Like I said, I'm not the author of the stories I will upload. I'm only compiling them to read them for my own use, so do not report this pls.

The world is full of mysteries, murders, and deeply disturbing true stories. Most of us have at least one good horror story to share at a party or on a dark night around the campfire. The good people of the internet are no different. Thousands of people around the world have been sharing their most terrifying real-life horror stories on Reddit, Facebook, Instagram  . From strange tales of ghostly encounters to abductions, serial killers, and stalkers that can’t let go. The horror is real. And if it happened to them, it could happen to you, right?



WARNING - story published in this book are based on real life incident

1. Three Knocks in the Dead of Night

Something strange happened to xombabe and their grandma. One night, they stayed up late watching The Walking Dead. Their grandma had never seen the show before, so they'd spent the past few nights binging late into the night. It was about 4 am when the two turned off the television and the lights and called it a night. Their grandma went into her room, and our Reddit user went to the bathroom to brush their teeth. That was when they heard three light knocks right behind them.

Since the bathroom was connected to their grandmother's room, they assumed it was her checking to see if they were in the bathroom. They answered but didn't get a response. When they left the bathroom and met their grandma in the hallway, she asked what the user wanted. Confused, the writer said that they thought she was the one knocking on the bathroom door. But grandma had also heard three knocks on her door and thought it was the Reddit user. 
As it turns out, they both heard the quiet, distinct knocks. They searched the house to make sure no one had broken in, double-checked the locks, and finally went to bed. Their grandma has one deceased son and one son that has been missing for almost a year now. The user believes that the knocks had something to do with the missing men—perhaps they were trying to reach out to their beloved family.

A few years ago, tauntauntom had just been through a rough divorce from their high school sweetheart. Their best friend had taken to distracting them by taking long road trips. One morning, they were on their way to Carlsbad, New Mexico when they paused alongside a river dam. They were drinking cider and snacking when the pair decided to explore the dried river bed. It was obvious that they weren't the first ones to go trekking through the riverbed. The pair could see human, canine, and feline footprints in the mud. 

They then recall starting to feel an odd sensation, like they were being watched. Their friend caught the writer's attention and called them over. There was a bone in the ground - what they now believe was a spinal cord. At first they thought it was a beef or pork bone on some kind. They continued looking around the river bed when they found a strange rust colored rock sticking out from the sand. When they got closer, they realized it was a half-buried little girl's shoe. The Reddit user stepped back and ran forward, preparing to kick the shoe. Suddenly, they heard a little girl's voice shout "No! Don't, please!" They looked around but didn't see anyone besides themselves, and their friend. The friend asked why they stopped and they replied "Didn't you hear that little girl?". Both confused, they decided to shrug it off and continued on their way. Meanwhile, the feeling that someone was watching them grew stronger. A few minutes later, they spotted another bone. 

Now, they began to get scared. The bone was clearly human. The  friend called the non-emergency police number for Carlsbad, and they reported what they saw.

One week later, they received a call from their friend that the Carlsbad Police had called to report the bones they found were indeed human. During the investigation, the two were questioned and eventually informed that the rust-colored rock actually wasn't a rock at all, but the shell of a pickup truck that had disappeared along with the family of three it had been carrying: a man, a woman, and their daughter. It made the Reddit user think back to the girl's shoe sticking out of the mud, and the voice they heard. Could the little girl have spoken directly to them?

3. Ouija Board Warning

Last year, smol-bean-dean went to a friend's house for a party. Around one in the morning, the group decided to use a Ouija board. The Reddit user was the only one who believed in accounts of the paranormal so she was hesitant when her friends brought out the board. But instead of giving her friends more reasons to tease her when it came to the paranormal, she acted as if she didn't believe in such activity. 

They began asking the board questions. They started with a few normal questions, and nothing really exciting happened. Then someone asked if the spirit wanted to hurt them, and it responded with "only one." The group started to get creeped out at this point—and rightfully so. When one friend asked the natural follow-up question, who, the board spelled out Natasha: the Reddit user's full name. It should be noted that she doesn't care for their full name and has everyone call her Tasha instead. Tasha then left the room while her friends continued playing but found out later that night that the group forgot to say goodbye to the board. Anyone familiar with a Ouija board knows that closing the interaction with the spirit is crucial before stopping use of the board. Needless to say, she was nervous.

After this, Tasha has no memory of the night. She only remembers getting a migraine and nosebleeds. Her friends took videos of her acting strangely, speaking with a changed voice, and a few instances of her talking in other languages. However, that night wasn't the only time this happened. In the days following, Tasha's parents reported the same things happening. Once again, she remembered nothing but migraines and nosebleeds. 

About two weeks later, she was back to normal. Or so she thought. Tasha was suddenly hospitalized for an excruciating pain in her kidney—so bad that it almost shut down. The doctors tried everything but couldn't figure out what was wrong. Then, on the day she were scheduled for surgery, the pain suddenly stopped. One day later, Tasha was released. 

Since that incident, she has never felt like she was truly alone. Sometimes, she feels someone grabbing her hands or neck, making it difficult to breathe. Tasha has always believed in the paranormal, but this experience made it far more real for her.

4. Scares at the Nursing Home

Swagman is a dietary aide at a nursing home for people with Alzheimer's, and they have had some seriously scary encounters while working there. Their job mainly consists of  washing dishes, and they're normally standing right next to the dishwasher which makes it difficult to hear what people are saying. 

On numerous occasions, they have been by the dishwasher and heard someone talking to them even though they knew no one was nearby. 

One night, the writer went to collect food carts in one of their units, alone. The whole time they were in the unit, they felt like they were being followed. Fearing what they might see, they never turned around. Eventually, they pulled off, pretending to use the bathroom. They waited there for about five minutes before peering into the hallway where they'd just been. There, they saw a patient they recognized. At first, this made them feel better, but soon, they realized that it was a patient who had died three days prior in a unit near the kitchen. 

The user also relayed a second experience they had while washing the dishes on a different day. They asked the person they were washing with if he could go into Unit A and get the food carts. The third person who normally washed with them had already left for the day, leaving the writer alone. 

Suddenly, they heard a voice in their ear. They turned around, but no one was there. They even went into the hallway, but still saw nothing. As they returned to washing the dishes, it happened again. The second time, they realized it was the voice of their great-grandma who passed away seven years ago. Very spooky.

5. Threatening Footsteps in the Country
In 2013, Xombabe and her friends decided to make a Ouija board. Her best friend lives about a 45 minute drive from the closest store and nearest town, so there wasn't much to do. They'd spent the day watching movies but eventually got bored, so the user, her friend, the friend's boyfriend and his friend decided to make the board. 

About a week before they made the board, the two friends had been staying alone at the house when the Reddit writer woke at 6 am to the sound of heavy footsteps in the hallway nearing the bedroom. She tried to wake her friend, but it was no use - she was a heavy sleeper. The footsteps stopped right outside the door. The writer waited, holding her breath, for the door to open, but it never did. The next few hours she spent awake, waiting for something to happen. When both girls were finally awake by 11 that morning, before either left the room, she told her friend what had happened the night before. 

And what her friend said in response chilled her to the bone. She said that for years she'd been hearing the same footsteps and that they had always stopped right outside her bedroom. No one else had heard the footsteps until the writer. 

That night, they made their Ouija board. The group were messing around with it, not getting any real responses when they suddenly heard a loud bang in the back on the house. They decided to stop for the night. The friend left to drive the other two home, leaving the Reddit user alone at the house. 

Being alone after hearing the loud noise and the footsteps made her nervous so she turned on the television for a distraction while she waited for her friend to return. In the middle of the opening credits, the television froze and started making loud buzzing noises. She tried to turn off the TV, but the remote wouldn't work. Then she tried unplugging it, but it kept going. 

Thoroughly freaked out, she went outside to wait for her friend to get back. At this point, she had started shaking and crying and texted her friend explaining what had happened. Then the dogs started barking at the living room door, viciously growling and snarling like they saw something no human could. 

Thirty minutes later, her friend finally arrived back home. Both girls could hear the television from the porch, but when they went inside, it had completely shut off and was still unplugged. Neither are sure exactly what happened, but they're certain is was some kind of malevolent spirit. 

Adam can't help but be happy! He received a system! Wait... is he really the only one who got it?
He hurries to check the reddit on his computer and press f5 repeatedly.
5 minutes and nothing. If there are no people talking about it on Reddit it is because there are less than 100 people in the world with powers or because there is no one else.
Adam looks at the action buttons he is very tempted to simply choose [cultivate], but it is better to [study] first. The boy chooses to study and he feels several options, choose theme 1, 2, 3, ... Allocate study time 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours ...
He checks the hours, it is 10 pm, he usually goes to sleep 00:00. But fuck it, it puts 4 hours of study with 3 subjects of study Cultivation of the body, origins of heroes and tutorial to be a vigilante. 
The next 4 hours are the most amazing things in Adam's life. It is as if he were an experienced researcher. No Reddit or google. He quickly accesses historical databases and oriental literary analyzes, philosophy and Chinese mythology. Adam reads it with absurd speed, and he manages to memorize the contents that seem interesting and quickly discards the useless contents for the purpose of research, Adam makes colorful, consistent, referenced and organized notes. After that he begins to study the origins of heroes, most of his focus was on more current cinema and comic book stories. In less than 5 minutes he realizes that it will not be useful to study the origins of heroes, these tales are meant to entertain and impress, because they have to be marketed. Adam will study biographies of real heroes in the future, but his focus of study shifts to vigilantism. 
In this matter he dedicates almost two and a half hours. Much of the study consists of neighborhood surveillance forums, training for shopping security guards and tips for de-escalating dangerous situations.
The more he studies, the more quickly he realizes that it is not possible to be a hero overnight. Much of it consists of investigations and passing the job on to more competent people. 
Someone dealing drugs? Who does he buy from? Who's boss? Oh do they use an app to combine exchanges? Pass the investigation on to cybercrime. Are exchanges in another state? So it's a federal investigation, pass the job on to another team. Police and politicians involved? Pass the investigation to homeland security. Multi-country crime? INTERPOL.
You will have thousands of agents investigating financial transactions, identifying suspects, building a psychological portfolio of criminal leaders, discovering locations of warehouses and more.
Crimes escalate quickly with investigations and this needs resources. Or he can stick with watching the neighborhood. 
Adam finishes studying, he is kind of discouraged because much of the vigilante study just made it clear that being one is either boring or stupid. Cultivation is just a series of mysticism, he will have to see more about philosophy and oriental medicine. And about heroic origins, it is also useless. Better learn about other things.
He looks at his watch, 2 am. He needs to enter the supermarket at 7:40 am. But he is still too energetic to sleep.
Wait... I have superpowers and still have to work in that supermarket? 
Never.
Adam chooses [Cultivate]

Adam is an 18-year-old who works as a cashier in a supermarket chain when he discovers that he has a system to become a Cultivator. The first and only cultivator on earth.

How will governments react? How will Adam manage to fight crime? Will Adam get money? More importantly, in which country will he be able to build a harem?

I've always had a fascination with werewolves and lycanthropy. I think the thing that draws me to them is their raw power and lack of control, which is the opposite to me since I strive for total control and usually have little to no power or stamina. 

As of late along with my studies into demon summoning I have also started to look into the lycanthropy curse. Sadly it's not very easy. Like with psionics, it's been shrouded in modern pop culture. A simple search for lycanthropy and you get bombarded with things about dungeons and dragons, and how dungeon masters should implement the curse into the gameplay style. On the other end of the spectrum when I go to my book supplier, the place I usually get all my occult books from, I end up finding myself knee-deep in erotic novels. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against D&D nor erotic novels, they just aren't really relevant to my current journey.

The few parts that are somewhat relevant say that there are three ways to become a werewolf. 

1. You have to be born with the affliction.
2. You have to be bitten by a werewolf.
3. You have to be cursed via a ritual.

Number 3 is sorta what I'm going for although it is useless, to say the least. All the accounts on how this work is contradictory to one another. Some stories tell of mages receiving a magic cream from their teachers, that when rubbed on the body, causes the person to transform into a werewolf. Some tell of amulets or baubles. One of my favorites is one from a guy that supposedly was a very high ranking member in a cult. According to him once you reach a certain level in the cult you are met with a question from your higher-ups. "Do you wanna become a vampire or a werewolf?". If the person were to choose werewolf they were expected to perform horrible acts, abominations in the eyes of God so that they can attract as many demons as possible. These demons will then proceed to possess this person and thus through the power of all these demons inside the person, they will be able to transform into beast willing to kill whomever their master commanded. According to this person, werewolves are the assassins of the cult.

With both books and google being completely useless I turned to my last online source, Reddit. Sadly Reddit was even less help than books and google. If it was apparent to me before it sure as hell is now. Occultists have no real idea of what they are doing. Mages, witches, warlocks, whatever they wanna be called doesn't matter, we are all just children running around in the dark hoping to find something that will help us out. If you ask about shapeshifting on Reddit (Or any online forum) you'll be met by three types of answers: 

1. Magic doesn't have the ability to transform you physically.
2. It is theoretically possible but very improbable. You don't have the knowledge nor the power to do it.
3. I am a shapeshifter.

The answers are conflicting and no help whatsoever. Meaning I'm back at where I started, in the dark with all the other occultists. I have one last place I can turn to and maybe that's what I was destined to do all along. 

Demons. They are known as teachers so maybe they can have the answers I am looking for. First I will have to summon a demon and successfully communicate with... it... her.... him... not sure. Along with the synchronicity I had with the house sitting thing I also had another synchronicity regarding lycanthropy. I had talked to my one friend about how I was looking into lycanthropy and she said that this discord coven/server she belongs to had created a room for shapeshifting the day before. What are the odds?

I went to check the server out but sadly I was quite disappointed with it. It was less about magick and more like a social gathering of people who have an interest in magick and of course, no one truly believed that shapeshifting was possible. The running theory was that it's only possible on the astral plane... So I left the server as soon as I had joined it.

Even in a group of people with the same interests as me I still manage to feel alone...

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. I hope all is well, dear readers. 

I wanted to take the time to sincerely thank every single one of you for supporting the novel up to this point. It has truly been an honor writing on this platform. Throughout my bitter life, never did I imagine I'd start writing and have people supporting me in the process. I cannot help but say I'm in debt for your undivided support. :')

As for the novel status, we are now past the half mark of Volume 1. Some may be curious as to how long I plan on making the series. I'd say 10 volumes minimum, each being at least 50,000 words (about 50 chapters on Webnovel).

Many may find this unexpected, but my goals for this story is beyond the ordinary. I plan to enter this work into Japan, which will lead to an eventual Manga + Anime adaptation. How do I plan on doing that exactly? Have no worry, I've done my research. Lots of research.

To simplify matters, the plan is to grow on English platforms such as Webnovel, Royal Road, Tapas, Moonquill and even Reddit if I'm lucky. If I attain a certain level of popularity and approval, that will be my beacon to hire a translator to get the book(s) into Japanese and enter them into one of their major web novel competitions online. Winners do get promoted in their magazine and at one point, will be elevated to get adaptations. Lots of anime (some poorly written ones as well) are attaining recognition from these competitions and are getting adaptations, especially in the past few years.

I have no doubt that this work can reach that level someday. Sure, I'm bound to fail, that goes without saying. That won't alter my goal in the slightest. I'm willing to do any and everything possible to make this happen. Even if it takes my entire life. Even if I don't earn a dime. Even if I must sacrifice the time with my friends and family. Even if I must continue to lose sleep. Even if my grades have to be discarded. Even if I have to quit my job. Even if I need to spend thousands of dollars more in investment... I will stay firm towards this goal. This has always been but a dream to me. I will no longer allow it to stay that way, rather, I will make it a reality.

Whew, I've said a lot it seems. Putting all of it aside, some kind souls might wonder: how will I be able to support this cause? 

It's a lot easier than you think, believe me. I have absolutely no intentions to ask money on a PayPal, nor to demand on a platform like Patre0n. I refuse to get this book contracted with locked chapters too, believe it or not. 

All I ask for is that on this platform followed by other websites in the future (will let everyone know once I start publishing elsewhere) that the following is done:

- Voting with powerstones daily
- Sharing this book in as many ways possible
- Staying connected with daily chapters
- Commenting, reviewing and suggesting

That's all I kindly request from everyone. The most important part is sharing the book. Whether it be on a group chat, a server, a friend in real life, a private message to someone you know or even a platform online such as Reddit etc. 

While the support has been phenomenal so far, I really could use more views and overall recognition – especially for the major goals I talked about! Every single viewer, share, collection, rating, review, vote and comment counts and brings us a step closer to the endgame. ^-^

Be a part of this great cause. Together, we can create a revolution. We will accomplish the unthinkable and prove the world wrong. It all lies within your support and love. 

That wraps up my message today. I apologize for taking your precious time like this. You don't have a clue how grateful I am for everything... :>

Look forward to the rest of volume 1, as the other main characters finally join the story soon! Do comment on how you feel about the story so far, I'd be delighted to know! Have a wonderful day, dear readers. <3

Hey guys!

Sorry for the long absence, I have been working on a new project that required me to take an extended break from writing. I want to thank all of you for taking the time out of your day to read this series and wanted to let you know I will be posting the newest chapter soon, idk when but soon. I am working hard to get the chapter out for you, but in the mean time, please check out my newest story titled The Skinwalkers.

I did something different with this story and posted it on reddit to see how well it would come across, it got mixed reviews ending up with 98 upvotes. Seems small but consider the most upvotes anyone got on that subreddit was only 128, I think it's safe to say it was decent.

The story is based on true events that involved a small town in Colorado that ended with only 30ish people out of more than 400 surviving. I have spent the past few months tracking these 30ish, I cannot keep track of the number of people, people down and getting their side of the story. 

From what they told me, creatures they call Skinwalkers, originally called as such by the American Indians, chased a family into this small town, murdered and ate the family, then, after being discovered by the town, they began to torture and kill the residents. I dug deep into this story and, I'll be honest here, find it hard to believe, though they claim it to be 100% real and they do have some proof for it. Even if this story isn't true and this group has pulled the wool over my eyes where this story is concerned, I still found it to be one hell of a thriller and wanted to share it.

Grall, an orc with a unique gift to speak to his ancestors, after witness his wife’s soul be devoured by a demon, lost a battle he had been waging in his subconscious since birth. The Ghul, a being that existed in the time of the first cycle, took over his body and wrecked the world of Xeno-Movia, killing the demon lords and tearing a hole in between the material plane and hell, he cast Tyril, king of Whitewater, to the lowest depth and killed most of the population of the world. Everything would have been lost if not for Grodak, Grall’s older brother and the orcs leader, had killed Grall with the help of a mysterious green sword. 

A week in the material plane has passed since Grall’s death. Those that survived The Ghul’s attack on the world thanks to Imp, a Pyroniam with immense magic, quick intervention, creating a pocket dimension for the people to stay until it was safe, came back looking lost in time. Children were now adults, young men who had fought for their kingdom now old men. 

A brutal snowstorm has begun and there is no sign of it stopping. Hell wages war amongst itself to see who is powerful enough to take the empty demon Lord's seat. Food has become scarce and the citizens of Whitewater are starving. 

Grodak works hard to find a way to feed his people and end this snow storm, even if it means diving into the source, the place that all magic originated from, and force the change upon the world. Cassandra, an Altain who fought against The Ghul possessed Grall, is searching for a way to never be at another’s mercy. Sakurako, Cassandra’s lover, watches over Cass but cannot be seen by her. 

Drillohiem, Gralls son, must find a way for those around him to trust in him and prove he is not his father. Scarlett, a half-pyroniam/half-human young woman, finds herself looking for her son who had disappeared.

    果不其然，不到一个小时就已经谈妥了B轮融资，接下来便是签约仪式。
　　当地时间傍晚，B轮融资的签约仪式在数家北美主流媒体的见证之下完成了签署，罗晟与一众投资者完成合影，并向媒体公开披露。
　　此次B轮融资，蓝星科技投前估值29.25亿美元，融资后估值32.5亿美元（￥270亿元），出让公司10%的股权融资3.25亿美元（￥27亿元）。
　　罗晟当天就在华尔街出名了，到了第二天《华尔街日报》用头版头条针对此次融资进行了全面报道，包括《彭博社》、《纽约时报》、《卫报》等西方主流媒体报社都纷纷引援报道。
　　消息一出来，惊掉了业内人士无数眼球，这一轮融资说是堪称华国互联网公司的融资神话也不为过，不少的互联网公司连IPO都拿不到这么多钱。
　　这也让蓝星科技成为了资本界的宠儿，引得无数人研究到底是如何捕获VC使其如此青睐。
　　完成B轮融资之后，蓝星科技成为了互联网泡沫破灭之后的第一家独角兽级别的互联网科技公司，
　　所谓的独角兽公司便是新创公司未上市前被估值超过10亿美元的公司，而蓝星科技在B轮融资之后更是被估值达到了32.5亿美元。
　　相较于A轮融资阶段被估值￥50亿，短短的三个月时间，估值暴涨了5倍以上。
　　一家成立还不满一年的初创公司，已经频繁的进行了四轮的融资，而且一次比一次夸张，就连北美本土不少的科技界业内人士都觉得华尔街是不是疯了？
　　凭什么？
　　好吧，蓝星科技的发展势头的确无人能挡，可凭什么现在就被估值32.5亿美元？
　　甚至让不少人有种幻觉，仿佛回到了那个互联网泡沫还未破灭的疯狂时代，蓝星科技的B轮融资神话在那个时代，也许能够出现。
　　但现在可是互联网泡沫破灭后的时代了。
　　华尔街真的疯了？
　　凭什么对一家已经连续三轮融资了，还没有创造一分利润的公司如此疯狂砸钱？
　　但不论如何都无法改变蓝星科技B轮融资3.25亿美元的事实，而一看投资者的名单也是让无数创业者再一次震惊。
　　软银资本、红杉资本、高盛资本、摩跟大通、创投基金、IDG、华金证券，任何一家单一拿出来都是世界顶级VC，却同时为一家公司背书。
　　难怪罗晟和蓝星科技会登上世界头条，看了这些名单一点也不意外。
　　此次B轮融资依旧是高盛领投，华金证券、摩根、红杉作为新进资本，软银、创投、滕讯等跟投数额不等。
　　完成B轮融资后，蓝星科技的股权结构为：
　　期权池预留：11.05%
　　罗晟：57.6%
　　滕讯：9.45%
　　高盛：6.148%
　　软银：5.26%
　　创投：3.51%
　　IDG：3.13%
　　摩根：1%
　　华金证券：1%
　　红杉：1%
　　其它：0.852%
　　此次B轮融资蓝星科技出让10%的股权，由各大VC资本分享并按增资持股比例募集3.25亿美元，能完成的如此迅速，也是得益于罗晟提早跟孟丘打招呼，而高盛资本也对蓝星科技公司的运营情况进行提前第三方审计。
　　完成了B轮融资后，高盛资本要求得到一个公司董事的名额，对此罗晟自然答应了，紧接着华金证券、摩根、红杉也想要一个名额，但罗晟果断拒绝了。
　　如果给了，外部投资股东将在董事会掌握8个席位，意味着罗晟要控制董事会就得把席位扩充到17个董事，VC控制8个席位，自己得拿9个席位的提名权才能控制董事会。
　　尽管罗晟拥有过半数提名权的资格，但董事会的人数是尽可能的越少越好。
　　高盛拿到一个董事席位是应该的，已经连续两次领投，可谓高调捧场，而按照股东协议约定，罗晟享有过半数的提名权，所以蓝星科技公司的董事会从原本的9个席位，扩充到11个席位，其中罗晟拥有六个董事席位的提名权。
　　另外新进的三大投资机构再要不到董事席位，只能退而求其次的要了监事席位，这一要求罗晟倒是同意了。
　　随着B轮融资圆满完成，罗晟的华尔街之行就此告一段落，在曼哈顿继续待了两天，到了第三天便飞往加州湾区，时间安排的还是挺紧凑的。
　　……
　　罗晟在抵达加州之前，他的临时助理已经为他在旧金山湾区那边安排好了歇脚的地方，位于富人区的一栋豪华别墅，当然并非是买的，而是租的，也不是罗晟个人出资，开销都会算进公司的财务支出。
　　主要是老美这边自由过了火，罗晟要在这边待一段时间，安全问题他也不会不重视。
　　下了飞机，罗晟出了航站楼，已经有一辆豪车再次等候多时。
　　载着他的专车一路驶向了南湾富人区，委托方已经在三天前就把罗晟的暂住别墅布置妥当，随时都可以入住。
　　这栋别墅位名字叫做Bode One，于当地的山腰边缘，拥有极好的景观视野，929平米超大面积，实际售价为2000万美金，建筑师利用不锈钢、玻璃、石材等元素，让建筑外立面极具现代风格，并且利用艺术品的色彩和对比来产生戏剧效果。
　　入口处有着流畅的空间感，整栋豪宅布局专门为了符合大型娱乐功能所设计，室内和室外之间形成不间断的连接。
　　娱乐空间、起居室、休息室、酒吧、餐厅、厨房与室外的凉亭草坪，都在同一个空间中以开放式的设计相互连接。
　　起居室还有一处非常大的玻璃落地窗，窗外就是弯曲的景观。
　　傍晚，罗晟在起居室的超大玻璃落地窗边的椅子上坐着，惬意的翘着二郎腿，大腿上放着一台工作专用的笔记本电脑，他正盯着屏幕时而敲击不断，又时而停下来思考。
　　此次北美之行，除了寻求B轮融资之外，另一个重要的事务就是建立一家全新的网站，新闻社区网站，因为前段时间的贴吧项目让罗晟意识到海外地区还没有类似元素的网站。
　　那就是有着“北美贴吧”之称的Reddit，创建时间是2005年，今天是美国东部时间2004年1月2日。
　　不用多想，罗晟肯定是果断截胡，走自己的路，让别人无路可走。
　　在罗晟上一世，这个全球流量能够达到世界排名第4位的超级网站是绝对不会放过的。
　　Reddit有点像国内的天崖社区，热闹、有趣、乱哄哄，用户通过一个个板块，讨论自己感兴趣的话题，罗晟记得上一世的Reddit，有些从3个人的小版到2000万人的超级大版，这里可谓是应有尽有。
　　不仅有点像天崖社区，还有点像云歌贴吧的模式。
　　但与天崖社区或云歌贴吧不同的地方在于，Reddit采用的是匿名机制，换而言之这家网站基本不可能会出现在国内了，肯定是被隔离到墙外进不去。
　　即便如此，Reddit网站的全球流量在后来也能冲到全球前四，可见这间网站在世界上的受欢迎程度。
　　Reddit的匿名机制也给这家网站定了个调，这里一方面会成为一个[开诚布公的谈话场所]，另一方面也意味着它泥沙俱下，海外网络喷子的最强交战地点之一，这里是[互联网的下水道]，没有一颗强大的内心逛Reddit论坛网站绝对会怀疑人生。
　　罗晟也知道原初世界的Reddit坐拥全球近8亿的用户，月活用户达到2.5亿，却难以实现盈利，Reddit拥有超级丰富的流量，作为一个社区网站，赚钱途径简直别无选择——投放广告。
　　但Reddit挣不到钱的原因恰恰就是让它能够大火的匿名机制，用户可以在社区上亮出自己的身份，但绝大多数的用户都喜欢匿名，这是毫无疑问的。
　　但也就没法像实名的蓝色空间BlueSpace网站那样设计出一套精准的广告定位算法，原因也有很多种，又比如因为违规内容的分享而迎来差评等等，导致广告主也对Reddit兴趣缺缺。
　　但对于罗晟而言，这都不重要，哪怕是Reddit将来一直亏损都无所谓，因为在互联网上有一个理论——羊毛出在狗身上。
　　罗晟不怕Reddit自身挣不到钱，怕的是网站流量不够，互联网行业一定是流量为王的行业，只要Reddit的超强流量摆在那里，就有的是办法进行间接变现，比如向BlueSpace引流或其它的关联机制，从而间接提高BlueSpace的广告收入。
　　这就是羊毛出在狗身上，当然，前提是羊是你的，狗也得是你的，狗要是别人的，那就是帮别人做嫁衣了。
　　罗晟要打造的是“蓝星科技全家桶”，只要流量在“全家桶”内部流转，最终的利润都是被自己收割掉。
