Ghost of Dark Mountain
My name is Lu Xin. I’m one of the few normal people in this world.
A lot of my colleagues ask me how I could be so calm in the face of a crisis.
I smile without saying anything. When I get home from work, my parents and sister are already waiting for me at the table.
“Brother, why should we be afraid of those monsters? They should be afraid of us.”
“Son, if you’re bullied, you must tell Mom and Dad. We’ll get him together.”
I calmly pick up my bowl of rice. Monsters? What’s there to be afraid of? Can it be as scary as my family?
The sudden rise of the red moon thirty years ago has thrown the world into chaos. The surviving humans not only had to deal with sudden changes in their environment, but also with mutated monsters eyeing them covetously. Fortunately, some of humans had awakened their superpowers and were barely able to keep up the peace.
However, everyone knows that this security is only superficial. The terrorists in the cities, the awakened who can’t maintain their condition, the corrupted monsters constantly threaten ordinary people.
Upon learning of a new recruit at the Agency—
“Mr. Lu Xin! What do you think of yourself as the savior of mankind, the greatest hero in human history?”
“I can only ensure that my family doesn’t step out the house.”

“Roger, the Lord’s Mansion is offering a reward for the corpse demon, do you want to pick it up together?”
“No, I’m not very strong, so I won’t take risks.”
“Roger, we still have one spot for the southern mine, would you like to come?”
“Maybe next time...”
“Roger, Roger... Nevermind, forget that I’ve asked.”
Ten years later.
[You killed 1 Explosive Magic Frog, killing 164250 Explosive Magic Frogs in total]
[Your magic resistance is increased to 100%]
Roger, who was at the pool, rubbed his sore waist and said to himself, “Finally... I seem to have become a little stronger.”
...
This was a fantasy wasteland world that had been radiated by nineteenth circle spells. Roger had been teleported with the profession model of “Hermit Ranger”. He had only one wish: Before the real catastrophe broke out, he aimed to become a stronger every single day.

Su Jin, an ordinary poor young man from the countryside working overtime every day to make ends meet in the city to support his family, finds himself in the possession of a book only known as Hell’s Handbook.

Who is behind Hell’s Handbook and its horror filled challenges? Each challenge reveals a new truth about the world Su Jin lives in, bringing new people into his life even as the world around him becomes harder and harder to trust, and perhaps, even a greater mission in life…

Have you ever wondered what a character in a novel or in a game should be?
Do they eat? Sleep? Do they have their own life when you are not reading or playing?
They do not.
When you are not doing anything, we stay still.
To be fair, think about your own life. Is it different from a game without a system? You can not see behind your back, similar to how a character has to render it in a game.
But at least, you have your own life.
While I have to watch the protagonist of the novel find his way into the pants of the female leads.
This is my destiny.
I'm not jealous. Not at all.

In another world called Blue Star, the famous son of wealth, Dorian D. Tian, is thrown into a whirl of unfortunate circumstances, resulting in his death.
.
His parents had a brutal car accident that left them in a coma, and his uncle had quickly taken over the company, seized the company, making sure that he was financially crippled for good.
With that, the famous young master struggled desperately.
And in the end, he gave in to his despair and depression, leaving the sad, lonely world.
The end?
Heh... Think again!
Because in that brief moment, the lifeless corpse suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a deep calm look.
That's right. Another mysterious soul had entered the body.
But if one thought that this story was just about revenge, then sorry... that wasn't even the half of it!
....
The mysterious entity suddenly triggered an exorcist system.
And from then on, both humans and even those from the underworld shuddered in fear and despair at the mysterious soul's cruelty.
[Humans]: "Demon! Demon! You're definitely a demon!"
[Demons]: "Help! Help! The famous demon wants to eat me!"
[Evil Spirits]: "You!... Are you the one who is an evil spirit or us? Why the hell did it seem like you're the demonic one instead?"
[Ghouls]: "You stay away from me! Stay away from me now, you evil entity!"
[Hellhounds]: "Are you sure that you're not the son of hades?"
The system couldn't help looking at its host in doubt.
Its indicators said that its host was indeed mortal. But why did it feel like something was wrong with its host?
Dorian lightly chuckled in amusement.
He would also like to ask the same question.
What exactly was his identity?
Well, this would be the biggest mystery of all.
But Dorian wasn't in a hurry.
Who were his enemies, and who were his allies?
Soon, he would find the truth.
In the meantime, why not play a little?
"Demon! stay back!"
"Oooo~~~... I... I want to go back to the underworld where it's safe."
"Run for your lives! The demon is here!"

Mu Yiran: Every single one of us is acting out a role in the painting.
Ke Xun’s eyes lit up: How do we get into an erot*c painting?
Mu Yiran gave him a long, drawn-out look: Shut your eyes and lie down.

“I suddenly discovered that this world is dangerous today.” Bai Zhi looked grave as he typed out a line of text on his computer.
“When I went out today, I came across some poor guy getting bitten by another person. Luckily, a few brave guys rushed out to bring the criminal to justice, but when the person who was bitten struggled to stand up, he was immediately beaten to the ground by one of those who had supposedly saved him—and then, they called the police! I’ve watched more than enough modern movies to know what happened. The zombie was taken out before the virus could spread.”
“Last time, you told us about a few guys saving humanity from an alien invasion… This time, it’s a zombie outbreak?”
There was an exasperated response from the chat box.
“So how was that dangerous?”
“There are also several girls who are fighting tooth and nail for a piece of me! It’s totally Hell in here, don’t you think it’s dangerous!?”
“???”
