[Urban Fantasy] [Rule Horror] [System-Based] [Invincible Power Fantasy] [Subverting Expectations]
When the red moon rises, the eerie beings prey on humanity through contracts and rules.
While everyone else struggles to follow the rules in these horrors, bankrupt executive Chu Zheng pulls out a ledger instead.
At midnight, cries for help come from his missing parents outside the door.
Rule warning: Never open the door to anything impersonating a family member!
Chu Zheng narrowed his eyes and tapped the ledger three times with a fingertip.
"Impersonating someone, unlawful entry, psychological fraud. Can you afford the cost of breaking the contract?"
Before the words were out of his mouth, he kicked the door open and stomped the Knocking Ghost underfoot.
[Ding! All Things Debt System bound!]
[Ledger Entry #001: Knocking Ghost, three contract violations, complete chain of evidence]
[Forced Collection: Lifespan -30 years, Ghost Domain -50%, rule trait "Voice Mimicry" confiscated]
[Note: Chu Zheng, creditor, successful recovery.]
Chu Zheng looked at the fresh ink on the ledger and smiled faintly. "First bad debt, settled."
A Red-Clothed Bride forces him into a wedding ceremony? He confiscates the entire wedding banquet's Ghost Domain!
A higher-dimensional evil god charges all of humanity a survival fee? Chu Zheng takes the IOU and pursues him to the end of the rules!
But when he opens the Origin Ledger, he discovers that he himself is the ultimate guarantor of Blue Star's survival contract!
"Every debt must be repaid, but I won't recognize a rotten deal that's unfair!"
