Yu Xiao, a terminal stage cancer patient with an incurable condition, had reached a point where she had accepted her fate. Living each day with indifference, she had already made peace with the idea of departing from this world.... more>>

One day, her phone automatically downloaded an app called ‘Four Hospital Patients’ Discussion Forum’.

“Fourth Hospital? Isn’t that the local psychiatric hospital?”

Curious, she tapped into the app. The top post read: 【Guide for the Morgue】

Yu Xiao:???

Second post: 【Cataloguing the Ghosts I’ve Encountered Over the Years】

Yu Xiao: No wonder it’s a forum from a psychiatric hospital.

【Step-by-Step Guide to Becoming a Talisman Master!】 This one seems quite intriguing!

That night, terror descended, and the hospital was engulfed in a crimson hue. Unnameable horrors lurked outside the wards, murmuring by the rooms, “Let’s see who’s been naughty now?”

————

During rounds that night, the inspection ghost lifted Yu Xiao’s blanket and stumbled upon the talismans by her pillow. The ghost was amazed to find high-level talisman.

The inspection ghost cried, “Why would advanced talisman appear at a beginner’s level?!” <<less

How do you survive when your dorm room becomes a playground?... more>>

In the dormitory building at 8 o’clock at night, the nightlife belonging to the university had just begun.

Suddenly, the lights went out. All universities in the world were plunged into darkness.

“Ding ding ding, dang dang dang”

“Dear classmates, welcome to [Dormitory Survival Game], happy dormitory life begins!” Blood flowed from the sink, the bed tent turned into a different dimension space, and the zombies crashed into the dormitory.

There are countless pairs of peeping eyes outside the door and balcony. Water shortage, food shortage, extreme environment, survival crisis.

“Instructions for students: The highest rule for dormitory survival—”

“First, the living cannot leave the dormitory.”

“Second, please protect your dormitory.”

“Third, please protect your roommates.”

“Fourth, every weekend there will be an update in the global dormitory survival rankings, please work hard to rush into the double first-class, 985, 211*, and strive to be the world’s top!”

——-

When she heard the strange singing, Tang Xinjue was opening the bags of daily necessities with a toothbrush in her mouth.

[Congratulations, classmates, what you are holding now will become your innate ability!]

“…”

Tang Xinjue fell silent as she saw the toilet plunger in her hand.

*) 985 and 211 universities means some better universities in China. <<less

[Good news]: She transmigrated into the well-known Phantom of the Opera... more>>

[Bad news]: It was the horror movie version!

After waking up, Bo Li discovered that she had transmigrated to the 19th century. In the 19th century, smog was severe, tuberculosis was prevalent, and sanitary conditions were bleak. It was possible to step into a pile of manure at any moment.

To make matters worse, she had transmigrated into a crossdressing circus worker.

This was an era where short-haired, pants-wearing women would be harshly judged, so no one doubted her gender. They just thought she was an overly pretty boy.

However, as time went on, she would grow taller, and her feminine features would become more obvious. The circus was a mixed crowd. If she didn’t leave before adulthood, her crossdressing would be exposed sooner or later.

Before leaving, she convinced an ab*sed teenager in the circus to leave with her. She planned on opening a haunted house with him.

***

Author’s Note: Bo Li is mentally older than Erik, but they’re physically the same age. Bo Li will be a little afraid of Erik at the beginning, but she will soon enjoy his behavior. If the male lead’s every move doesn’t thrill the heroine, then what’s the point?

On an ordinary afternoon, a higher-dimensional supernatural system named [Ghost] invaded human society.... more>>

After that day, ghost sightings became frequent across the world, and the rate of accidental deaths soared.

Just as humanity was at a loss, the [Ghost] system launched a global livestream:

— Ding! Congratulations, you’ve been chosen to participate in “Horror Variety Show”~

— Because you’re a beloved celebrity with enough attention, you were selected. Use your popularity to survive in the instance~ You’re the brightest star!

— The celebrity with the lowest popularity after clearing the instance will be eliminated and become the ghosts’ dinner, so do your best.

— Either get famous or die, tee-hee~

Li Zhi, a small-time actress who had been doing background roles in countless TV dramas with no fame at all, looked to the left at the top idol and then to the right at the nation’s first love.

With a resolute smile, she said:

— From an unknown small actress to the top star player in the instance.

— From nothing to something.

— From something to destruction.

【Even when this world has become a playground for ghosts, I won’t forget that I am human.】 <<less

After being killed, Xu Turan was given a system and got pulled into a certain thriller romance novel. There, she became the crucial female supporting role who seeks death. However, on the first day of transmigrating, her system was urgently recalled for repair as it was aging.... more>>

As their farewell was imminent, the system was worried about its new host so it repeatedly reminded Xu Turan: [Your role is to be a supporting character who is always seeking death. You do know what that means, right?]

Xu Turan recalled her rich experience of doing just that in her previous life and she replied affirmatively with absolute confidence.

So the system withdrew with its mind at ease.

After a few days, the system that had been away for repair finally returned. When it looked at the situation, it almost malfunctioned: [What are you doing?!!]

Xu Turan, who was busy arguing with the Evil God, answered without thinking, “I’m doing what you asked me to do – trying to find ways to die.]

System: […?!]

*

What the system thought about seeking death: provoking the heroine, vying for the male lead, ignoring the advice of her boss, being the potential villainess of the story and stepping on others, seducing handsome men and humiliating herself, and finally being punished for trying to seek death.

Xu Turan’s understanding of seeking death: provoking elite monsters, robbing supernatural weapons, ignoring the auras that terrifying entities were desperately honing, belittling the dormant pseudo-Gods and raising them in captivity, and somehow dragging a male companion for outings.

It was impossible for her to die. Even if she danced frantically on the edge of danger, it simply was not possible. At most, she was just a little crazy and a little intimidating.

And then as time passed, both traits got increasingly stronger.

Till the end, it was both terrifying and legendary for one to change oneself into a Horror itself. <<less

Tong Yang, on a whim, joined a “melon-eating” group chat that was created two years in the future.... more>>

Every day, the group members shared the latest gossip, such as a certain actress dying under mysterious circumstances, the strange disappearance of a wealthy businessman’s son, or a bizarre plane crash that resulted in the deaths of all crew and passengers…

However, as far as Tong Yang knew, the actress was at the peak of her career, receiving rave reviews within the industry. The wealthy businessman’s son was attending an elite private school, under 24-hour bodyguard protection. And the plane that allegedly crashed was still in the testing phase and had never carried any passengers.

At first, she didn’t take it seriously and treated it as a way to pass the time.

Until one day, a sudden thought occurred to her, and she asked if there was any information about her in the future.

The group fell silent for a minute before someone dropped a news link:

“A genius from a humble background, Tong Yang, died ten days before the college entrance exams during a home robbery. Her teacher said she could have been the top science student in the province!”

Tong Yang froze and looked up at the calendar. It was May 28th—exactly ten days before the college entrance exams!

At that very moment, in the quiet of midnight, she heard clear footsteps echoing through the hallway…

The next day, the group chat exploded:

【WTF?! The news link from yesterday is gone!】

【I remember this incident being a huge deal! Even my parents knew about it, but when I asked them, they said they didn’t remember!】

【Is this for real?? Don’t scare me!!】

Tong Yang: “I won’t lie to you, I’m from 2024, and my name is Tong Yang.”

【???】

【WTF, no way??? Two years ago???】

【Guys, our chance to get rich is here! The next lottery numbers are…】

【Wait, hold on, what about the home robbery suspect?】

Tong Yang: “You guess.” <<less

Knowing that she’ll die tomorrow from a female ghost’s attack, Zhu Yang goes binge-drinking the night before she dies.... more>>

The next day, she wakes up, mind still disoriented from the previous night’s drunkenness. Looking around, her house is a mess, and there is a female ghost hanging out of the TV, having drilled halfway out.

More importantly, the female ghost is dead!

Her pig friends then all accuse her of how cruelly and inhumanely she destroyed the female ghost to death.

Zhu Yang: I’m not! I’m not! Don’t talk nonsense! I am a weak woman like a delicate flower who only screams when she encounters something horrible.

In regards to this, the female ghost who thought she could kill this weak woman handily but was killed instead: I have something to say! <<less

—— A bus that loops forever.... more>>

—— A haunted house that accepts screams as payment to skip scenes.

—— A dark and shadowy university that demands the best behaviour

—— A lift that leads to hell and back.

—— A stairwell that doesn’t let you leave until you reveal its history.

—— A library that was filled with death and secrets.

In the 23rd century, the struggle between life and death was being played out worldwide.

People blessed with “good luck” were forced to wander through mysterious dilemmas and pay attention to its rules.

“—— Don’t disturb the driver while driving.”

“—— Don’t push the lift button at random.”

“—— Don’t pile up your rubbish in the stairwell.”

“—— Don’t make a lot of noise in the library.”

But all changed when someone finally noticed that amid all the recent spirit shenanigans, a person in a pink hoodie consistently strung out.

**

Xu Jin Yi, who had a sizable collection of single-player horror-themed RPGs, was pleasantly delighted to discover that several of them had been upgraded to a VR version.

Using VR’s default avatar with a pink hoodie, Xu Jin Yi relied on her bountiful experience to beat bosses, break puzzles, and tease NPCs.

There was only one obstacle she couldn’t beat.

NPC: “… I don’t know your name yet, pink hoodie.”

Xu Jin Yi hesitantly entered her ID: “… YourRealDaddy24K?”

Xu Luling had a boyfriend that everyone envied. He was cool and refined, a graduate from a top international school, an investment banking elite, and most importantly, he treated Xu Luling extremely well.... more>>

Lately, her boyfriend seemed to be stalked by someone.

He kept receiving death threats, and strange accidents kept happening one after another: secret surveillance cameras installed in their home, a car that suddenly couldn’t stop on the road, a plaster dummy falling from above…

Finally, one day, her boyfriend really disappeared.

As she went to report it to the police, the missing man suddenly appeared behind her, drenched, like he’d rushed over without even grabbing an umbrella, looking like a lost puppy she’d forgotten by the roadside: “Lingling, I’m back.”

But twenty days later, this man who said he’d returned mysteriously died.

There was one thing she never told anyone.

She always had a feeling that he had never truly left. He was always there, right by her side.

[No one knew that her boyfriend could stay by her side 24/7.] <<less

My name was Yuan Junyao, a name my grandmother gave me, meaning “beautiful jade”, although I was not beautiful at all. Actually I was ugly.... more>>

I was told that I grew tumours on my face since I wasn’t even 3 months old. My parents had me examined in hospital and the doctor said it was a fibroma and it was benign. It couldn’t kill me but I couldn’t get rid of it because if I did, it may develop to be fatal. My father divorced my mother for this, and not long after, my mother died.

To make a living, I had to do three jobs.

One day I messed with the wrong people and they had my younger brother have a car accident and become a vegetable, and I also lost all my jobs because of it.

I tried to find a new job and happened to know about live streaming. I clicked on it and a man was live streaming in an old ghost-haunted house. The ambience was terrifying.

I followed him online and he didn’t see a real ghost even by the end of the stream. But the ambience was so real it spooked the audience. So he had many viewers who sent him lots of gifts while they watched. I was a little inspired by the idea. Nobody wanted to see the face of the host of a ghost live streaming, which suited me very well… <<less

The protagonist and her family moved to a picturesque resort city to live. Upon the invitation of their friendly female neighbor, they joined a “big family” composed entirely of people from outside the city. Although the members of this big family were not related by blood, their bond was stronger than that of family, and their relationships were harmonious, giving the protagonist’s family a sense of warmth and belonging.... more>>

However, the good times didn’t last. After some time, the protagonist learned that the gathering place where they often held their parties was actually a mu*der house. Two years ago, a bizarre homicide had occurred in that house. The female neighbor had been organizing gatherings at her place out of fear.

This revelation cast a psychological shadow over the protagonist, but she didn’t anticipate that even more terrifying things would follow. After they moved there, one member after another of the big family started getting killed. The police investigation confirmed that the culprit was someone familiar to them.

‘Anyhow … I think I transmigrated into a romance fantasy novel.’... more>>

The problem is—I opened my eyes in a wake room. Within a coffin. At the funeral of this body’s owner. To make matters worse, I had read so many novels that I couldn’t remember which one I was in.

‘Ta-da~ you thought I was dead, right? I was not!’

On the other hand, I think I’m a villainess. My family is cold-hearted, and the servants shrink and shun me, often crying while looking at the air next to me. But it doesn’t matter! I’ll exploit my master in romance fantasy to get rid of my villainess tag!

But then, I found a strange pattern.

“What exactly is this?”

[How to summon •••] ‘Is it summoning formation to summon something like spirits or dragons? That’s good. A villainess needs at least one ability to protect herself.’

“Meow~”
