Horror Revival

"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.

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 aren't that scary!

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

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.

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?

With a synopsis whose brevity of three lines says: "A book full of short horror stories." Some think that life today is one of horror in these pandemic times. Now ask: Is it possible to summarize horror in short stories? The book impacts us from the first chapter, it makes our skin crawl and it seems that we are there ... Is it forbidden to read at night and in the car!? ... Enjoy it!

This story is really short compared to your other one. That does not mean it was not good though. I really enjoy reading little horror stories like this one. Great ending.

"Terrifyingly creative, this anthology delivers bite-sized nightmares that pack a punch. From gritty survival horror to chilling emotional trauma, each short dives into a different corner of the undead apocalypse. Sir Faraz proves horror doesn’t need to be long to be legendary. These are the kind of stories that leave the lights on at night."

A long whip is a good sword

Before she took off her mask, her male god would spar with her every day, and she would be tortured to death under his clothes every day. Of course, she was ranked fourth on the leaderboard. How could she beat the first? After taking off the mask, they sparred again. "Weren't we having a good time fighting before? Why can't you do it?" "You weren't mine before, but you are now." …… In the fantasy holographic online game world, there was a huge nightmare conspiracy. Should he live in the cruel reality, or should he not wake up from the beautiful dream he had woven? In this online game world, there were a total of five worlds: the human world, the demon world, the demon world, the immortal world, and the undeveloped world. The fifth realm was an open game that players had to find themselves. There was actually a man-made bug at the entrance to the Fifth Realm. The person trapped in this bug would never wake up in reality. A mysterious white deer and a clear spring water. As long as he looked into the white deer's eyes, it was as if he would fall into it. …… She held two whips in her hands and claimed that she would never play the role of a tank in the party (pulling the enemy's aggro onto herself and blocking damage for her teammates). For him, she made an exception. …… He looked into her eyes. Little Yuan, you want to be the hero of this world, but I only want to protect you." Why was this man so damn flirtatious? Why didn't she notice it before she took off her mask?

I live by devouring evil

Hei Gu told me long ago that there are no demons or ghosts in this world. It was all because of those incidents where the truth could not be known, the unknown left behind by stowaways, and terrifying taboos that were infinitely magnified. "I didn't expect to survive!" "Feiran, don't think too much. You have to find those special items as soon as possible to extend your life. You only have 20 days left."

Open the knight's chronicle in the beautiful manga

Traversing the Marvel World and obtaining the Knight Chronicles System. When Hila was about to break the seal and the dark elves were about to make a move, the old Odin slowly took out his Odin Belt and inserted it into Time Descent. The Dark Elven leader wasn't willing to be outdone and also took out Dark Kiva's belt. On that day, the universe once again witnessed the terror of the peak priests and the terror of the dark elves. In the mirror space, Strange, who was wearing Wizard armor, looked at Gu Yi who suddenly appeared and slowly typed a question mark. In the depths of the universe, Star Devourer was holding the EVol drive and laughing. Ultron followed Jacker's orders and wanted to destroy mankind. On the moon, the nonhumans discovered the final evolution form of the nonhumans, which was called Yagita! The captain, who had been sealed in ice for many years, held the Adamu spirit stone tightly under the glacier. Stunner Johnny looked at Mephistos, who had tricked him, and took out his Eye Spirit with a dark face. Stryker discovered that Deadpool's genes were not the X gene. Someone told him that it was called Amazon cells. Loki transformed into Diend as he laughed maniacally and faced Saul, who had regained his divine power. General Ross transformed into Force One and battled with the Hulk and Loathsome on the streets of New York. At this moment! The world was in chaos, and strange people were wreaking havoc. Even ordinary people could transform into mass-produced knights and join this grand chronicle. It was as if an invisible hand was silently pushing everything forward. Who was it? Behind the truth, there was only a touch of stunning fuchsia!
