Liang Qi'an is a horror novelist.
Her horror novels are so vivid that people who read them feel as if they're being followed by fear even in broad daylight.
Then, by accident, she got dragged into the horror game [Assassinate the Novelist].
Liang Qi'an huddled in a corner, on the verge of tears.
No one knew that she was actually a coward who was absolutely terrified of ghosts.
The game's instances were designed for groups to tackle together.
So the System matched Liang Qi'an with three novelist teammates.
The novelist who wrote palace-intrigue and power-struggle stories: They seem friendly to me, but behind my back, they all want me dead. I can only trust myself. I have to become the strongest person in this world!
The novelist who wrote fluffy, brainless romances: Aah! That NPC is definitely looking at me because he's fallen in love with me. Our meeting was fate! I'm going to have a sweet romance with him!
The novelist who wrote mystery and detective stories: Spent the whole time solving puzzles, analyzing the ghosts' motives for killing, and looking for clues to survive...
Liang Qi'an's vision went dark, and her heart sank halfway.
Wouldn't they be wiped out from the start?
But then...
The novelist who wrote palace-intrigue and power-struggle stories became a top player, manipulating people's hearts as if they were in the palm of his hand.
The novelist who wrote fluffy, brainless romances made all the ghosts give her a wide berth. Whenever they ran into her, they fled for their lives, afraid she'd force them into a passionate, heart-wrenching romance.
As for the novelist who wrote mystery and detective stories... Liang Qi'an was very glad she'd latched onto this powerhouse early on.
He was practically godlike, as if he could see the future. Every time, he perfectly predicted when the ghosts would appear and what they would do next.
The powerhouse's verdict on the game: "Cliched, boring, and utterly tacky!"
Three months after [Assassinate the Novelist] arrived.
A horror novelist code-named "Little White Flower" set the instance's progress to fast-forward at an insane speed.
Here's what really happened:
[Encountering the three-eyed ghost baby]
Liang Qi'an flailed in terror and accidentally damaged one of the three-eyed ghost baby's eyes.
[The one-legged butcher who kills by sound]
Liang Qi'an screamed so loudly that she accidentally deafened the one-legged butcher.
Liang Qi'an, who wanted to be a Little White Flower: "If I said I hurt the ghosts by accident, would you believe me?"
The ghosts stared at the four-person team and cried: "It's not easy being a ghost these days, either!"
"Waaah, we really need to buy ghost insurance!"
Theme: Every novelist is a brilliant, dazzling, one-of-a-kind star.
