The uncanny has returned, and the world has become a mad amusement park. Everyone is a puppet on a string, struggling beneath blood-soaked rules.
My name is Lu Chen, an utterly ordinary fan of urban legends.
Then I discovered I could edit the world's “source code”: a website called [Reality Wiki].
From then on, everything changed.
When the rule for the [Knocking Ghost] said, “You must open the door when you hear knocking, or you will die,” I simply added a line to its entry: “Rule added: The knocker must state their name and present valid identification first.”
When the rule for the [Elevator Haunting] said, “Any odd-numbered passenger who enters the elevator will be erased,” I made an edit in return: “Rule revised: This elevator is reserved for people with disabilities. Overloading will trigger an automatic alarm.”
But every keystroke means staring into the abyss. Mad whispers echo in my ears, and my sanity is the only stake I have for wielding this power.
I thought I was the only player, but then I discovered countless other “editors” had long been lurking in the shadows. To seize the power to write the world's truths, they had set off a silent war.
They struggle against the rules, submit to the rules, and fear the rules.
And I...
Will become the rules themselves.
