The Era of the Strange: The 37th-Generation Administrator

In the third year after the supernatural descended, I discovered the truth: this wasn't the first time. Ancient books buried for ages called it "the Hundred Ghosts' Night Parade" in the Zhou dynasty, "demons and monsters everywhere" in the Han dynasty, and "strange creatures appearing everywhere" in the Tang dynasty. Each outbreak lasted for decades before vanishing. The next update would come hundreds of years later. Then I found a pattern in the ancient texts: the Boss changed with every supernatural outbreak, but one thing never did: the System backend that issued missions to the supernatural entities. Even more astonishing, the login portal to that backend was inside the Warring States-era bronze well in my basement.
