"I am Yang Jian. By the time you read this, I've already been dead..." A strange parchment, an eye that peeks into the darkness. This is the memoir of a person who survived.

Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

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 Game Developer : My games really aren't that scary!] I hate horror.

[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.

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!

Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!

She is the true daughter of a prestigious family in the Federation, who was lost outside and grew up in a garbage heap, and is also a waste with only F-level spiritual power. 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?

I love a good anthology collection, especially with horror. It is never easy writing horror as a reader is less inclined to react like that of someone watching a horror film. Just by reading the first short story, I was entranced. It starts out like any horror scene, someone driving and then stopping and spotting some oddity. I did not expect what happened next but it thrilled me.

Each short story delivers a fresh, terrifying perspective on survival and the undead, blending fear, suspense, and psychological horror. Sir Faraz’s sharp, evocative writing makes this a must-have for any horror fan."

The real daughter has made the cultivation world crazy

In order to turn the tide in the other world, Lan Zhi was proficient in alchemy, talismans, and arrays. He was familiar with technology and intelligence. He could write in the north and shock ghosts and gods with his sword. Once she returned home, she was still a pitiful little girl with a star vein that had been whipped. The fake daughter who had taken over the magpie's nest could easily decide her life and death. Lan Zhi sneered and jumped off the cliff in front of everyone. If a cripple's body can't handle it, find a Star Academy to hide in. However, the Star Academy was too down and out. She had to spend some effort to help the Star Academy regain its glory after advancing three levels in a row. For example, she had to set a small goal that she could achieve first: He would earn 10 billion first. For this reason, she created an instant messaging tool that was universal in the cultivation world, created an online trading platform that spread throughout the cultivation world, broke the monopoly of aristocratic families 'resources, realized the automatic production of pills, tools, and array talismans, and killed all the filthy beasts that attacked at night with a sword... He also became the richest man in the cultivation world. Everyone scrambled to learn from Lan Zhi. "I'm just familiar with it." Lan Zhi smiled humbly. His words caused the entire cultivation world to go crazy. The fake daughter who thought that she had gotten rid of Lan Zhi turned around and realized that she had lost everything unknowingly. She was both panicked and helpless." Where is the thing that belongs to me?" "I'm sorry, they were all eliminated," Lan Zhiyun said casually. - Lan Zhi was not lacking in wisdom, strategy, and tactics, but he lacked a little warmth. At some point, the Star Spirit God of All Things had quietly arrived by her side and pulled her into his embrace.
