Horror Game Developer: My games aren't that scary!

[Horror Game Developer : My games really aren't that scary!] I hate horror. From the skittering sounds of footsteps racing behind me, to the soft yet unnervingly cold whispers curling around my ears... All of it. I hate it. So much so that I start puking whenever I reach a certain threshold. And yet, I am a Horror Game Developer. A crappy one at that. So, given my lack of ability, I decided to quit. And yet... [Congratulations, you've been selected for the Horror Game Developer System!] Nope, I don't want it. Let me quit. ※ Note : Your world might experience some changes. But don't worry! It's part of the game! *** This is a story about a game developer who hates horror, but has no choice but to develop games scary enough to traumatize people. You want to curse me for making you piss your pants? If that's the case, who do I curse? *** An SCP inspired story with its own twist! Discord : https://discord.gg/FK7ZQU3b9p

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!

Have You Written Your Will Today?

Shen Hua, the daughter of the Shen family that ran an embroidery business in Fengzhou, was pampered since she was a child. She had a pretty face and smooth, fair skin. Unfortunately, her body was weak, and she'd run out of breath after walking merely a few steps. She didn't have very long to live. The Shen family gradually faced its downfall, and her wedding was delayed again and again. Cui Yun, the eldest son of the Cui family, was a noble and stern man. He was entrusted to look after Shen Hua. Why not just marry her? He thought. Since Shen Hua reincarnated, she had focused all her attention on the embroidery business. She hoped to change her life and regain her former glory. When she heard about Cui Yun's decision to marry her, she fainted on the spot. After waking up, she turned him down with tears in her eyes. "I don't have very long to live. I don't want to waste your time." Cui Yun was very considerate. "It's not a big deal. I know you feel touched, but there's no need to cry. Since you already depend on the Cui family, you might as well just become part of us. After you die from your sickness, I'll even hold a grand funeral for you." Shen Hua felt hopeless. But I'm only pretending to be sick! *** Cui Yun had many younger female cousins. Many of them had confessed their feelings for him, but he turned all of them down nonchalantly. "It's getting late. Please look after yourself." Shen Hua had never met such a clueless man when it came to romance. One night, while she was on her way home, she took a shortcut and passed by the Cui family's courtyard. Cui Yun stopped her. He was standing near the entrance, and his sleeves danced to the wind. "It's cold outside. Would you like to come in and stay for a while?"

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?

As an evil god, how did I become a savior?

The apocalypse had arrived, and the world had collapsed. Other than zombies, there were also strange monsters filling the ruins. Gu Cheng, who was originally in despair, suddenly had an Evil God Acting Game on his phone. What surprised Gu Cheng even more was that after satisfying the believer's wish, the sacrifice he received actually appeared in front of him. From then on, the barrier between the two worlds was broken. The flesh of ferocious beasts that increased strength, the heavenly and earthly treasures that increased strength, and the cursed items with different abilities appeared in front of Gu Cheng through the sacrifice. The apocalypse was no longer scary. Through the blessing, the believers were given fresh water, thick quilts, and special medicine. The residents of the game who were originally shrouded in darkness were rekindled with a desire for light. A few years later, Gu Cheng's faith had spread throughout the entire game continent. All the believers were grateful to God. Because of him, they could live a peaceful life today… Only then did Gu Cheng realize it. He could not help but mutter, " As an evil god, how did I become a savior?"

[Desolate: I really don't want to be a Heavenly Emperor.]

Wang Xuanfu was reborn in the Untainted Land and became the Duke of the East. However, the Three Lectures of the Purple Cloud Palace had already ended, which meant that he was not far from death. However, when he walked out of the Purple Mansion, he realized that this Wilderness was a little different. It was filled with a barbaric aura. There was killing and chaos everywhere. There was no aura of advanced civilization at all. Order was useless. After experiencing the prosperity of the later generations, he wanted to do something, but he realized that he really couldn't do it. He was also afraid of death, so he could only do something secretly. Many years later, Dong Hua's cultivation had already reached the peak of the Untainted Land. Standing in the Heaven Realm, he looked at the Soaring Heaven King Palace in front of him with mixed feelings. Fuxi: " Your Majesty, the Witchcraft Tribe has fallen and the great cause has been accomplished. Please enter the Heavenly Court and ascend the throne." "I really didn't want to be the Heavenly Emperor," Dong Hua sighed as he looked at the Heavenly Book Investiture of the Gods in his hand.
