It's Not Easy Being a Celestial Master

*This isn't a horror story. It's a snarky, goofy comedy, so ladies, don't worry.* A candid note from the author: If you like little ghost-hunting stories but not long, complicated plots, you can skip straight to the extra chapters after Chapter 51. If you're interested in the larger plot that follows, keep reading and purchase the later chapters. Shi Yi'an graduated from a prestigious university, only to be tricked by his awful family into returning to his hometown and forced to study Taoist arts, learning how to become a qualified Celestial Master. "Our Shi family has been catching ghosts, exorcising demons, communicating with spirits, and telling fortunes for over twelve hundred years. Under special circumstances, we also take care of killing zombies," his uncle explained. "Wow, that's amazing. Can we fight zombies too and brave the end of the world?" "Zombies aren't our responsibility. They're caused by viruses, and we can't do anything about viruses. That's the kind of problem modern science and technology have to solve." "..." So this was the legendary fusion of ancient and modern, superstition mixed with science. Why did everyone else get a mighty wolf or tiger, or a cute little girl, as their guardian, while his was a huge, grim-faced man? And why couldn't he get any other guardians once he had this grim-faced man...? "Can't you be like the other guardians and only show up when you're summoned?" "Hmph! I am not some lowly little demon who answers the summons of mere mortals like you." "..." New story coming soon, expected to launch in October:
