Rule Horror: A New Forbidden Identity Every Day

Rule-based horror has descended into the real world, and anyone could be dragged into a deadly instance. When Shen Yan entered one for the first time, he discovered that before each instance began, he could refresh one “taboo identity.” The old director of a funeral home, missing for thirty years: Every horror in the building assumes you’re still its boss. The thirteenth conductor on a midnight train: You have the right to inspect any passenger’s ticket. The nonexistent landlord of the Bliss Apartments: No tenant is allowed to refuse your knock. While others trembled over slips of rules, Shen Yan gradually discovered that the identities he received seemed to have belonged to these horrors all along. Then one day, he refreshed an identity that had never appeared before: The Rule Maker The next second, the System flashed a blood-red warning: Warning: This identity was not generated by the System.
