Help! All My Children Are Cthulhu!!

[Swamps, fog, dark forests, the sky, the ocean: indescribable creatures lurk within, waiting for their prey to come to them]

[Uncanny beings, evil spirits, monsters, stitched-together abominations, and countless other terrifying, hideous creatures roam the streets of towns]

Before you become strong enough, never let on that you recognize their true forms. And don't forget to tend to the Ginseng Fruit Tree in your backyard. Your children need its fruit to suppress the Cthulhu power within them. The fruit may look like various kinds of bodily tissue, but it tastes pretty good.

[The Branching Out System has two parts: taking a wife and having children]

“System, have you got this wrong? In a world this terrifying, you want me to branch out and multiply?”

[Don't worry, Host. Just take a dose of the special 4399 potion, and you can have children with ghosts and snakes alike. Think of it as experiencing life as Ning Caichen and Xu Xian.]

Yu Suzhen: “Darling, I think I...”

Lei Xiaoqian: “A... ba... by...”

Blood-Curse Doll: “I just love the way big brother hubby smells. So fragrant!”

Zombie Bride: “Our child is just as delicious-looking as you.”

Red Wedding Dress Ghost: “Husband, I want one too.”

Sail Akalu: “Wow, hubby, you're amazing!”

Fang Yishan: “System, didn't you say they'd calm down for a while?”

[The mother gains status through her children, you know. Keep it up, Host. Have a hundred more and you'll finish the mission.]

Taking wives only increases Fang Yishan's speed with a blade. Having more descendants only makes him stronger.

Branching out and multiplying has become the Fang family's second principle. The first is never to force anyone into anything.
