I Became a Strange Girl and Claimed Half the World

[Spiritual qi revival + eerie protagonist + ensemble cast] The tide of spiritual qi revival swept across the world, and ghosts and monsters descended on the mortal realm unchecked. In an instant, the ordinary world became a dangerous place crawling with the uncanny! A beautiful young woman in the prime of her youth was deliberately bullied by the school’s mean girls because of her striking looks. They cornered and tormented her until she was on the brink of death, moments away from being killed on the spot. At this critical moment, a century-old ghost drifted over, acting flippant and wearing a mocking grin as it offered her a deal: agree to its terms, and it would immediately grant her the power to take revenge on her bullies. With death at her doorstep, the girl had no choice. But the instant the deal was complete, everything turned upside down! The century-old ghost didn’t get the better of her. Instead, it was forcibly trapped inside the girl’s original body, while her soul underwent a complete transformation. She skipped right past the ranks of low-level monsters and became a true ghost. All her emotions and humanity remained in her body, which the century-old ghost had taken over. Freed from emotional attachments and left with nothing but pure ruthlessness, she brutally slaughtered all her bullies on the spot and even devoured their corpses. Her ruthless efficiency terrified the century-old ghost trapped inside her body so much that it nearly scattered into nothing. When it came to its senses, the century-old ghost could only stammer out a warning, pretending to be concerned and claiming that eating people would erode her ghostly power, urging her to stop at once. It seemed kind, but was really full of bad intentions. It was afraid she would grow too powerful too quickly and become impossible to control. It simply didn’t dare admit that someone who became a ghost from the start with the girl’s potential was a once-in-a-million Ghost Emperor in the making. Even if it wanted to devour her power, it could never have transformed her directly into a ghost! The girl fell silent for a moment, then calmly agreed to stop eating people. But that innate... By the time spiritual qi revival turned into an SSS-level forbidden zone
