The Wish Fulfillment Pawnshop

[Urban legends + mild rule-based horror + no heroine + slow-burn unfolding]

This is the story of an ordinary person growing up, returning, and solving a mystery. You ask who that person is? That’s right, it’s me, the owner of this pawnshop, Shicheng.

Come on in! Grand opening sale! The Wish-Fulfillment Pawnshop welcomes you!

You ask what we have here?

Look, as long as you can pay the price, I can help you solve any problem!

Whether you want a longer life, good health, love, or friendship, anything can be pawned and anything can be redeemed. Name your price, and there’s no deal I won’t make.

Don’t go! This really isn’t a crooked shop. Don’t go, customer! I’m telling the truth!

Look, I even have a talking typewriter here. What, you can’t hear it talking? I have other things too. I’m really not crazy, and I don’t need medication!
