Rule Horror: The Hauntings Make Me Break the Rules

[Rule-based horror + not a wish-fulfillment story + not invincible + no female lead, no romance + high-IQ deduction] The first rule-based horror scenario is complete, so you can read without worry! Content warning: The main plot and romantic elements are limited. The story focuses on the rules, so proceed with caution if that’s not your thing. This is a cursed world. From the moment they are born, everyone is cursed by It and bound at all times by Its rules. Anyone who breaks them dies instantly. Only by continually surviving rule-based horror scenarios can people undo the rules It has imposed. These rules are known as the Divine Prohibitions. Every year, another rule is added. To stay alive, people have no choice but to keep taking part in rule-based horror scenarios. Yu Wuyi always thought he was a lucky person. He considered it a stroke of luck that he had made it to eighteen in a psychiatric hospital without triggering any of these rules. He kept thinking that right up until his eighteenth birthday. On that day, a line of gleaming golden text appeared among his Divine Prohibitions. “It has sensed that you believe your future is bright and full of promise. It is extremely displeased with you and has decided to turn Its gaze upon you. During rule-based horror scenarios, you must break at least one rule and bear the consequences. Otherwise, even if you clear the scenario, your Divine Prohibitions will not decrease. Please cherish each remaining day of your life. Enjoy!” Yu “Tough-as-Nails” Wuyi: “Huh? I bare my heart to you, and you play mind games with me?” If that’s how you want to play, then I might as well try killing a god for fun.
