Even Ghosts Are Afraid I'll Die

[My new novel, Nightmare Guide, is now available. Feel free to check it out in my author profile!] From the moment Pei Wuya was born, he was said to have the fate of a natural-born evil spirit, destined to become a ghost king after death. That terrified all the ghosts in City C. To avoid having another boss over them after they died, every ghost did their best to stop Pei Wuya from taking risks. Pei Wuya: "I heard there's a century-old haunted house. I'm going to check it out. Stream viewers, tune in!" Ghost A: "Emergency!!! That Pei guy is exploring again!!! Stop him!!" Ghost B: "...Uh, but we can't afford to mess with the people in that house either..." Mysterious nonhuman gong x adventurous shou born with the fate of a ghost king [This blurb is for reference only.

People said the comic was terrifying, the plot bizarre, and everyone who read it was doomed to have terrible luck! Sang Yan, who didn't believe in that stuff, said, "Heh." But after reading just ten chapters, he discovered that he'd ended up in the world of the horror comic! Sang Yan: "Oh, crap!" The character Sang Yan transmigrated into was neither the protagonist shou nor the protagonist gong. He was the newly married husband who'd been brought in to bring good fortune to the protagonist shou's uncle, a character who had already died offscreen in the first chapter :) The protagonist shou's uncle had been frail since birth, pale and thin, coughing up blood every day and not expected to live past thirty. Newly transmigrated into the book, Sang Yan took one look at the pale man. Sang Yan: "Yeah, he really doesn't look like he'll last long." Sure enough! On their wedding night, just as they were about to consummate the marriage, his husband died! Living in fear at the old family home, Sang Yan gradually began to notice something. The servants and even the butler were looking at him more and more strangely. He could even feel a cold presence beside him every night. Oh no. It seemed like his husband had come back. Much later, Sang Yan learned that this comic was so terrifying and horrifying that it had a recommended reading age of twenty-one. He'd been twenty when he read it :) So he'd read the censored, sanitized edition (...) [Coming Soon 2: After Being Targeted by Nonhumans (Infinite Flow)] Duan Xiyuan didn't know if there was something wrong with his constitution, but he kept running into all kinds of crazy men. At school, an upperclassman told him he loved him and wanted to be with him forever. His boss at work said, "Xiaoyuan, don't look at anyone else. Look only at me, forever. I'm the only one who truly loves you." Thinking freelance work would let him escape those crazies, Duan Xiyuan woke up one day to find a note by his bed: "Baby, I'm watching you..." Terrified, he rushed out of the house. But as he was about to call his childhood friend for help, he saw a car speeding toward him. In his final moments, he saw the handsome yet twisted face of his former boss... After being hit and sent into an infinite world, Duan Xiyuan finally thought he could catch his breath. Then he discovered that all the monsters and nonhumans liked getting close to him. There were other players in each instance! But the monsters always chased only him! And the first identity card he drew was: [You are their little rose] Whenever he used the card, he became the instance boss's beloved. The monsters hunted the players, but kept him close to their hearts. He was their princess, their little rose. Duan Xiyuan had been breezing through the instances by clinging to the bosses. One day, in a multiplayer boss battle instance, he saw a monster he'd encountered in a previous instance and couldn't resist using his special ability again. But now his special ability had stopped working! The bosses immediately ignored the players and found Duan Xiyuan hiding in a corner. Duan Xiyuan looked up at the bosses with pleading eyes. "P-please don't kill me..." Of course they wouldn't kill him. He'd finally made it to their world. ※An extreme everyone-loves-him story, very indulgent, written with total abandon. All the gongs are split-off versions of the same person, with both boss and player identities. Theme: To be added
