Rule Horror: Master Huo? Me?

[Rule-Bound Horror + mystery + satisfying wish fulfillment + comedy + angst + growth + original scenarios + a few personal touches to Huohuo and Tail]

The paranormal returned, and vengeful ghosts roamed the world.

They killed humans indiscriminately, yet humans had no way to kill them.

Before the paranormal, humanity was utterly helpless.

Then one day, the ghosts that had roamed the world vanished.

Just as humanity thought the apocalypse was over, a new one took its place: Rule-Bound Horror.

This was a game in which one person determined the fate of many.

Ghosts now killed according to rules, and no longer appeared wherever they pleased.

There were exceptions, though. When players failed to clear a scenario, a haunting would descend upon the real world.

If these scenarios were not cleared from reality regularly, they would spread through real-world territory and steadily squeeze humanity’s living space.

Everything seemed to be improving bit by bit, but some scenarios remained impossible for ordinary people to clear. It was nothing more than a slow death.

Even after people discovered they could use ghosts to kill other ghosts, some scenarios still proved impossible to deal with.

Just as humanity began its interstellar migration plan, the paranormal sealed off the sky, trapping everyone who wanted to leave.

But as humanity faced a slow death, two people appeared, bringing a turning point and new hope.

They possessed the demon-slaying powers of Taoist priests from the movies, a power one of them called the Ten Kings’ Edicts.

The people of Blue Star called them the “Mighty Celestial Master Huos.”
