Synopsis

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'‽"

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!

Her parents' abandonment and favoritism, the exclusion and framing by her green tea fake daughter sister, the cultivation sect in crisis. She can only regain her cultivation and turn the tide by participating in the Federation Planet's 'God Creation Game'! "No way? Someone with only F-level spiritual power can also enter the 'God Creation Game'?" "Maybe just to make up the numbers." "With only 3 attack points, even a gust of wind can kill her, right?" Josh, the sickly waste not favored by everyone, casually summoned a Divine-level Monster in the dimension. Just when everyone thought she was going to kill all sides, she smiled slightly: "Open for fortune-telling, divining the location, weaknesses, and treasures of monsters, looking at dimension feng shui, monster physiognomy, one divination for 3000 points, scan the code to pay, thank you!" 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: "......" Are these the star contestants they've fostered with points?

Then, he decisively opened his avatar and plunged into the darkness. [Makoto Koyama: As long as the target is a bad person, then I am a good person!] Cough, survival was not shabby! Therefore, many years later, a bottle of fake wine appeared in the winery, which was used to gain the favor of the members of the winery but secretly backstabbed them. A bottle of fake wine named Nikolaschka. ~~~ "Vodka, this game is over." But now we need to enjoy another game, a game of cat and mouse." After saying that, Gin grinned. His cold and sharp gaze swept across the group of backbone of the winery and finally fixed on the rye whiskey. Akai Shuichi: "Big Brother, you mean…" Under Vodka's shocked expression, Makoto Koyama, who had betrayed Akai Shuichi after experiencing a crisis of trust in the Gin, chuckled in his heart. P.S.

After hugging someone's thigh, I went crazy in the survival variety show

[Shuang Jie, 1v1, Redemption, Giant Pet] Yun Xianghuan, the pitiful little girl who had been disfigured by the fate of being taken away by the book and the daughter. In order to defy the heavens and change his fate, he had staked everything on participating in a wilderness live broadcast variety show with the lowest survival rate in the world. She had thin arms and legs, and her chin was thin. One look and one could tell that she was malnourished and weak. Everyone unanimously thought that Yun Xianghuan was a cannon fodder who had eaten a box lunch on the first day. Even Yun Xianghuan felt the same way. However…banana leaves, bamboos, hatchets, fat fish…When these urgently needed supplies suddenly appeared in front of Yun Xianghuan, the atmosphere gradually became strange. Yun Xianghuan was speechless. Could it be that she had magic that could grant her wishes? Until one day, Yun Xianghuan suddenly bumped into a big black panther with wings, carefully placing a bunch of grapes in front of her house… Yun Xianghuan was speechless. Ah…Help! She…she seemed to be pampered by the Beast Deity! As time passed, Yun Xianghuan developed a strong affection for the big black panther. Yun Xianghuan pinched the little meat on her stomach and looked at her fair and chubby self. Not only was she not happy, but she was also crying her heart out. This was because the Leopard Lord's gaze on her had become more and more strange recently… As expected, she knew that the big black panther would not treat her well for no reason. It must have treated her as storage food. Now that she was well, she would definitely be eaten. Yun Xianghuan gritted her teeth and reached out her hand." You…you can eat me now!" Wuwuwu…" When a certain leopard heard this, he immediately transformed into a living person. He pulled his tie and approached. His eyes were filled with smiles. "QAQ!" Note: This article is also known as "Shocking!" After Rebirth, I Was Spoiled by the Beast Deity,"" After Rebirth, I Changed to Take Beauty and Force My Miserable Redemption Script,"" Man vs. Wild: Leopard Lord, Don't Bite Me "

Mad Immortal

I've transmigrated and picked up a 'small bottle' that can accumulate spiritual liquid to hasten the growth of spiritual herbs. Humph. It was a standard mortal opening… Wasn't it going to take off? The corners of my mouth curled up slightly as I began to cultivate. - I sat cross-legged, circulating my cultivation technique. I took a deep breath, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. I don't look like a human. That's a phenomenon that occurs after becoming an immortal. I was mumbling, and there were whispers in my ears. They were communicating with all things in the world. The villagers said I was crazy. Let them be! Anyway, I'm probably going to become an immortal…
