(Infinite-instance, no romance; the protagonist spends most of his time in instances.)
After being sent flying by a speeding truck, Chen Xu transmigrated to a world invaded by rule-based horror stories.
Countless instances descended upon reality out of nowhere.
For three years, countless people had been dragged into them and died under one bizarre rule after another.
And as soon as Chen Xu transmigrated, he was pulled into a horror instance.
While his classmates were still arguing over who should go out and test the waters, he suddenly heard a System notification.
[Congratulations, Host! You have bound the Myriad Ghost Hunt and Plunder System!]
[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained S-rank Ghost Analysis! You can analyze ghosts' abilities, rules, and weaknesses!]
Others relied on guesswork; he could see the answers outright.
Others ran for their lives; he started searching for the ghosts' weaknesses.
As long as he killed a ghost, he could plunder its abilities.
And so, a path unlike anyone else's opened before him.
While everyone else was still wondering how to survive their first instance, Chen Xu had already set his sights on the first ghost inside it.
"That's a pretty good ability. I'll take it."
"This one's good too. Can't let it go to waste."
"Wait, the rules of this ghost can be used like that?"
From a school to a hospital, from a city to the entire world.
As Chen Xu plundered more and more ghostly abilities, he finally realized something.
The rule-based horror invasion three years ago might not have been an accident at all...
