When an indescribable terror descends and the laws of physics cease to apply, Lu Xi'an adjusts his glasses. “From now on, this place is under my control. Anyone who breaks the rules will be... eliminated.”
[Official Synopsis]
In 2035, the “Great Sundering” erupts. The physical laws of the old world collapse, and humanity plunges into an abyss of chaos.
Knocking at midnight, shadows that must never be looked at directly, streets where turning around means certain death... horror stories become the rulers of the new world.
Suffering from a terminal illness and extreme obsessive-compulsive disorder, Lu Xi'an inherits an abandoned “Blackwood Inn” on the edge of the gray fog and awakens the [Order Codex System].
In the System's eyes, there are no vengeful ghosts, only “residents in violation of the rules”; no ancient gods, only “high-risk assets.”
“As long as you're within my domain, I am the sole truth.”
Starting with a dilapidated inn, he builds an absolutely safe sanctuary.
He takes in horror-story entities as employees, squeezes energy from ancient gods, and sells “safety” to all of humanity.
While everyone else trembles in the cracks between the rules, Lu Xi'an is already seated on a throne built atop a mountain of corpses, sipping tea as he reshapes the chaotic world into something more to his liking.
This isn't redemption. It's a government takeover.
Welcome to Blackwood Inn. Please follow the rules, or... accept the consequences.
Although the main character is a bit pretentious, the writing is still okay.
Not bad, it can be considered an excellent work
A rare good book, the first hundred chapters are pretty good anyway
It feels pretty good-looking
In a world of chaos, despair, and death, there is still hope of living.
Good looking, not brainless and logical
