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'‽"

In a small, forgotten cemetery, there was an ancient mausoleum. A group of teenagers dared each other to enter it one night. Sarah was the first to step inside. It was pitch - black, and she could feel a dampness in the air. As she walked further in, she noticed a coffin in the center. The lid slowly started to open, and a pale hand reached out. Sarah's heart pounded in her chest. Then, a figure emerged from the coffin. It had sunken eyes and a gaunt face. It hissed at her, and she could smell death on its breath. The other teens heard her screams but were too terrified to go in and help her.

One key element is the setting. A spooky, isolated place like an old asylum or a haunted house can immediately set the mood. For example, a creaking floorboard in an abandoned mansion can make the reader feel on edge. Another element is the characters. Make them relatable so that the reader can put themselves in their shoes. For instance, a young child lost in a dark forest is a common but effective scenario. Also, the use of vivid descriptions of the unknown or the grotesque is important. Describing a shadowy figure with long, claw - like hands reaching out from the darkness can be truly terrifying.

[Quick Wear: Lord God, don't tease me.]

As one of the four managers of the 3,000 Sectors, Tang Xingmi didn't expect that one day, Ming Qi, the villain Demon Lord in one of the planes in the Immortal Demon Realm, was about to destroy the entire plane. It was all the host's fault for courting death. If the world was destroyed, the order of the 3,000 Sectors would be disrupted, and the other worlds would also be affected or even collapse…Tang Xingmi found three other companions, but they were helpless. The three heartless comrades had asked her to seek help from the Lord, but she had no choice but to go now… The Sovereign didn't say much. He looked at her leisurely and frowned. Then, he entered that plane. Miraculously, the entire world had returned to three months ago. The three thousand worlds had stabilized, but the Sovereign hadn't returned. What was going on? The system's meatball who had caused trouble turned into a three or four-year-old child and slipped in front of Tang Xingmi in fear. He really couldn't get angry at this bun. Fortunately, he still knew how to kill that courting host. Otherwise, he would really be angered to death. "Supervisor Tang, the Divine Lord's soul has dispersed into the three thousand Sectors. For this incident…" "What? Then what should we do?" "That's simple too. The Sovereign said that you want to save him personally, collect his divine soul, and let him be reborn!" Tang Xingmi was in a difficult position. It was indeed her fault. She had to take the blame. "How do we save him?" "Bind to the system. Attack the villain and eliminate the Darkening Points. Your favorability will reach 100. Once you complete it, you will receive a wisp of the Lord God's soul." Dumbfounded.“What ???” Ding ~~~ The system binding to the villain boss has been successful! Damn it…
