When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

Horror-Spieleentwickler: Meine Spiele sind nicht so gruselig!

[Horror-Spieleentwickler: Meine Spiele sind wirklich nicht so gruselig!] Ich hasse Horror. Von den huschenden Geräuschen von Schritten, die hinter mir herjagen, bis zu den leisen, aber beunruhigend kalten Flüstern, die sich um meine Ohren winden... All das. Ich hasse es. So sehr, dass ich anfange zu kotzen, wenn ich eine bestimmte Schwelle erreiche. Und trotzdem bin ich ein Horror-Spieleentwickler. Ein miserabler noch dazu. Also habe ich beschlossen, aufzuhören, angesichts meiner mangelnden Fähigkeiten. Und doch... [Glückwunsch, Sie wurden für das Horror-Spielentwicklungssystem ausgewählt!] Nein, ich will es nicht. Lass mich aufhören. ※ Hinweis: Ihre Welt könnte einige Veränderungen erfahren. Aber keine Sorge! Es ist Teil des Spiels! *** Dies ist eine Geschichte über einen Spieleentwickler, der Horror hasst, aber keine andere Wahl hat, als Spiele zu entwickeln, die gruselig genug sind, um Menschen zu traumatisieren. Sie wollen mich verfluchen, weil ich Sie dazu gebracht habe, sich in die Hose zu machen? Wenn das der Fall ist, wen verfluche ich dann? *** Eine von SCP inspirierte Geschichte mit ihrer eigenen Wendung!

Barrage: "What's wrong! 3000 points, what idiot would go there! She's a fraud!" Contestant: "Me me me! I want a reading, I want a reading!" "I was here first!" "Don't cut in line!" Barrage: "......"

The many races on Planet Kaga were in constant conflict, and evil gazes were watching the entire planet through the spirit world. Any intelligent creature had the hope of awakening their psionic powers through the omnipresent spirit world and becoming a powerful psionic. There were Psionics who grasped elemental powers, Psionics who tempered their bodies, and Psionics who sublimated their souls. Among them, there were even a few psionics who had the hope of obtaining special knowledge from the spirit world and transforming it into their own talents. He had transmigrated to this world through land and air. Due to the transmigration, his soul was different from the rest. At the age of fifteen, he had awakened his psionic powers and became a spirit contract master who used the power of the soul to contract spiritual beasts and other living beings. He could even see the various knowledge contained in the spirit world when he awakened and broke through, and choose the talent he needed! [Perfect Body (Immortal): There is no limit to the strength of the body. As long as you train, you can continuously increase the strength of the body.] [God of War's Heart (Main God): Born for battle. The more you fight, the stronger you become. What can't defeat you will only make you stronger.] [Lord of Storm (Main God): You are the Lord of the Sky, the Air, and the Storm.] [Psionic Affinity (Legendary): Innate affinity with psionic energy, absorbing psionic energy at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people.] ………… Looking at each and every one of their incomparably powerful talents, Lu Kong felt that something was amiss. Speaking of which, I'm a spirit contract master, why don't I have the talent of a spirit contract master? Several years later, Lu Kong punched an evil god that had descended. He said indignantly,"I told you I'm a Spirit Contract Master. Why didn't you believe me?"
