Eerie tales have descended upon the world, and every civilization must send one “Chosen One” into a world governed by rules to fight for survival. If they fail, the eerie tales will descend upon their homeland.
While the elite soldiers, geniuses, and shrine maidens chosen by other countries struggle against the supernatural, our civilization picked me: Shen Li, a temporary administrator who was asleep in a corner of the library.
The global livestream chat exploded: “Has this civilization given up on itself?”
But when the first eerie tale, “The Midnight Library,” began, I sat in the administrator’s chair and watched the “Chosen Ones” from other countries rush in. I pushed up my glasses. “Students, please keep quiet and show me your... library cards?”
From then on, global experts watched me use the Library Rules to issue citations to the supernatural, the Delivery Regulations to refuse deadly packages, and the Convenience Store Handbook to make shift schedules for vengeful spirits... Their minds were completely blown.
“Is this damn thing supposed to be survival horror? It looks more like new employee orientation!”
“Please stop reciting workplace regulations! You’re about to train the supernatural into model employees!”
I simply adjusted my glasses and opened the hefty Rulebook in my hands. “According to Chapter 7, Article 3, anyone who speaks loudly or causes a panic in an eerie scenario and disturbs the other Chosen Ones has to be escorted out.”
