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-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.

Wenn das der Fall ist, wen verfluche ich dann? *** Eine von SCP inspirierte Geschichte mit ihrer eigenen Wendung!

Think about historical events or places. Abandoned mental asylums, old cemeteries, and haunted castles are great starting points. For instance, if you choose an abandoned mental asylum, research the history of how these places were run in the past. You might find out about cruel treatments and experiments. Then, you can create a story where a character goes to explore the asylum and discovers the ghosts of the patients who suffered there. You can also use local legends and folklore. If there's a story in your town about a witch who was burned at the stake, you could base your gothic horror story on that, with the witch's spirit coming back to seek revenge.

Well, short gothic horror stories typically feature an atmosphere of dread. The lighting is often described as dim, with shadows lurking everywhere. The use of elements such as thunderstorms, howling winds, and creaking doors adds to the horror. The characters are usually in a state of isolation, either physically or psychologically. This isolation heightens the sense of fear as they have no one to turn to when the horror strikes. Also, there's often a moral or psychological decay at the center of the story, like in 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' where the good doctor's moral fiber disintegrates.

One idea could be a story set in an old, dilapidated mansion on the edge of a cliff. There are strange noises at night, and the protagonist discovers a hidden room with a diary that reveals a dark family secret from generations ago. The atmosphere is filled with mystery and a sense of impending doom.
