I'd like to read something like "The Creepy Apocalypse: I'm Hunted by the Instances". I want the protagonist to use items and the System to kill and torment ghosts, to the point that they've lost humanity's most basic fear. Make it more terrifying, with ghosts that can't be harmed.

The first book is an infinite flow novel with a touch of horror and suspense. It doesn't feature overpowered superpowers, but rather focuses on finding a way to survive through logical analysis. The second book is also an infinite flow novel with a touch of horror and no emotional depth. The protagonist has a cheat ability but isn't invincible; the supporting characters aren't mindless; the ghosts are unsolvable and cunning; and the atmosphere is quite terrifying. The third book combines a system, suspense, and mystery. The protagonist lives in an ordinary family and deliberately chooses a university far from home. However, strange things begin to happen: bizarre school rules, a mysterious countdown, and the secrets hidden behind the school slowly emerge… The fourth book is an infinite flow novel with a touch of horror.

At first, I thought it was just a typical dungeon-crawling novel, but as I read on, it seemed the author had laid a lot of foreshadowing, making the story more complex than it appeared. Even the real world after the dungeons had its own main storyline. Furthermore, the dungeons were clean and concise, without any overly powerful or unnecessary plot devices. Every scene was meaningful or foreshadowed. By the fourth dungeon I was reading, I realized that earlier descriptions had already hinted at these points.
