Synopsis

The person whom the world revolves around. The person who defeats all of his opponents, and ultimately gets the beautiful girl. The sole existence all villains fear. That is the protagonist. What about me? As a failed author who had only one success throughout his whole career, I had reincarnated into my late novel. "This is it" I thought, as I tightly clenched my fist. Did I just get reincarnated in my own novel? Is this where I reincarnate in a novel and become the protagonist? No. Sadly it's not that kind of novel, as I reincarnated as a mob. The world doesn't revolve around me. The girls don't come flocking towards me. The cheat items don't come to me. "Phew" I let out a sigh of relief. "Thank god I'm not the protagonist" I joyfully shouted as tears streamed down my cheeks. Wait, are you curious as to why I don't want to be the protagonist? I did forget to mention the most important thing when I was describing a protagonist. That is... They are calamity magnets. I just died. If I learned something from that, it's that it really isn't a pleasant experience. If possible let me live a long stable life. Thank you, whoever reincarnated me. I would later come to regret these words... ======== Reader Disclaimer : Please read the *Read before reading novel* in synopsis. ======== Credit to _oinkchan for helping me find the previous novel cover Credit to Rengoku for his amazing edit of the new cover. ======== Discord : https://discord.gg/FK7ZQU3b9p Patreon : https://www.patreon.com/TheAuthorPOV

In this life, she is endowed with supernatural powers and can foresee anyone's fate and future with great accuracy. She vows to trample on all those who caused her family's ruin in her past life. But before she can exact her revenge… One day, she touches a business magnate, and sees herself wearing some kind of cat ears sexy outfit coming out of the bathroom before kneeling at the man's suit pants, calling him Daddy! Chi Shuyan is shocked: How bad is my life going to be in the future? How can it be so indecent!

However, this life is fated to be a little different after meeting her. Making money in summer vacation. "There are too many crooks these days."  “Exactly, they perfectly able, but they don't look for a good job.” A group of people points at Chi Shuyan, who has set up a fortune telling stall. On the one hand, she is discouraged from pretending to be a swindler, but also encouraged to resemble one slightly. Chi Shuyan stays firm, drawing talismans while sucking on a lollipop.  One month later… "Master Chi, fortunately you told my fortune. You allowed me to escape the misfortune." "Master Chi, how much is this Ghost Ward Talisman? I want 10 of them!" "Master Chi, can you help me calculate my family's luck in passing? Money is not a problem." People’s eyes glow as they look at Chi Shuyan collecting excessive amounts of money. To look so sage-like even when doing a tacky task of collecting money, she's indeed an erudite expert.

Many of these stories draw on British history and folklore. They might incorporate elements such as ancient curses, long - forgotten legends, or the ghosts of historical figures. This gives the stories a sense of depth and connection to the land. Also, the characters in these stories are often complex, dealing with their own inner demons as well as the external supernatural threats.

The 'Ghost Stories' collection by Mark Gatiss is quite good. It takes traditional British ghost story elements and gives them a modern twist. There's also 'The Essex Serpent' which has elements of the supernatural and a very eerie atmosphere set in the Essex countryside. It's not a pure ghost story but has that sense of the unknown and the spooky.

British literature ghost stories have influenced modern horror in multiple ways. They established the importance of setting in creating horror. Take 'The Turn of the Screw' for instance. The isolated and somewhat creepy manor house adds to the overall sense of unease. The psychological horror aspect, which is so prevalent in modern horror, was also pioneered in these stories. In many British ghost stories, the horror often lies in the mind of the protagonist, as they question their own sanity while dealing with the supernatural. Also, the use of ghosts as a symbol of the past coming back to haunt the present is a theme that has been passed down and adapted in modern horror.

M. R. James is another well - known British author of ghost stories. His works often have an academic setting. For instance, in his stories, you might find a professor or a scholar stumbling upon some ancient and cursed object that unleashes a terrifying apparition. His use of detail and slow - building suspense makes his stories very engaging.

One characteristic is the use of old, atmospheric settings like ancient castles, fog - covered moors, or old manor houses. For example, in 'The Woman in Black', the isolated Eel Marsh House adds to the sense of dread. Another is the often slow - building suspense. British ghost stories don't usually rely on sudden jumpscares but rather build a feeling of unease over time. Also, they often have a moral or psychological undertone, like in 'The Turn of the Screw' where the sanity of the governess is in question.

Summon Kira Yoshikage, Assassinate Iron Man at the beginning

Thank you for your invitation. I'm in Marvel and I'm living in New York. Today, New York was still suitable for living and working in peace and contentment. It was peaceful and filled with talented people. The deranged Kira Yoshikage called himself the Clown, the Two-faced Tony Stark officially announced his candidacy for president, Fanmaafu became a terrifying battle maniac in New York's underground, the House of Evolution began its new human project, and Fliesa, who descended from the sky, was honored as Doomsday… And all of this is related to me. Even though I have summoned countless villains, I am still the hero who saved the world. By the way, my name is Connor, the director of Arkham Mental Hospital in New York City. Please take care of me in the coming days.
