Walking by the Dim Lamp

[Behind-the-Scenes Manipulation + Rule-Based Horror + Urban Imagination + Ensemble Cast + Multiple Storylines + Self-Interest Above All + Underworld + Apocalypse + Higher-Dimensional Civilization + No Saintly Do-Gooders]

Have you ever wondered if the owner of that Chinese restaurant you passed is actually the mastermind behind the rule-based horrors?

Lu Chen was just an ordinary office clerk until a car accident suddenly gave him the ability to see the eerie things hidden in everyday life.

He discovers that:

A transmigrator binds an Underworld System and builds the netherworld from scratch, ruling over all the souls of the dead;

A narcissistic food-delivery rider delivers orders by day and wields a flying sword to slay demons by night;

A certain psychiatric hospital is full of top-tier superpowered individuals;

A zombie king clan with an extreme sibling complex lives in hiding in the city and serves as government consultants;

A being who was originally an evil spirit sets out on the path to becoming a god through faith;

A little white snake accidentally wanders into a secret realm and transforms into a dragon;

An underground foundation captures the eerie beings for experiments, hoping to take control of the world.

Some want to save the world, some want to destroy it and build it anew, and some just want to survive.

And it is nothing more than an experimental subject kept in captivity by a higher-dimensional civilization.
