Convenience Store Guide to Spirit Relics

"Name."

"... Xia Shuode."

"Class."

"Senior Year, Class One."

The student on duty put down her pen and stared at him expressionlessly.

"I don't remember anyone named Xia Shuode in our class."

The newcomer corrected himself with righteous indignation.

"You heard me wrong. I said Junior Year, Class Two."

You'd better be telling the truth.

"...Fine. Then, late student from Junior Year, Class Two, please write down your real name."

"All right, actually, my name is... Oh! Hello, Director!"

The student on duty instinctively turned to look behind her. Good, nobody there. When she turned back, the person had already run half a mile away. All she could see in the distance was a figure sprinting off.

So why did this repeat offender think the student on duty wouldn't remember her name?

The student on duty snorted. As she watched the girl sprint away, she neatly wrote the fugitive's real name in the register: [You Jingyun]

Yes, my name really is You Jingyun. I'm a rare high school student blessed with both a strong body and mind, and the sole heir to the little shop by the gates of Jiangcheng No. 1 High School.

To make a long story short, one drizzly evening during the plum rain season, a few of my buddies and I encountered something rather unsettling.

Urban legends? Rules-based horror? It didn't seem to be either.

All I knew was that we seemed to have been swept into the vortex of an even more hidden otherworld...

Warning!! (Highlighted): This story has mild horror elements. The friendship storyline is the main focus, with an ensemble cast and a plot-driven narrative. It's probably a mix of everyday life and urban oddities. The protagonist has an official pairing, but the romance develops slowly and is relatively subtle.
