A Cannon-Fodder's Survival Guide to Horror Comics

Li Yue found a comic book.

According to the comic, she was a cannon-fodder passerby who was about to die.

The peaceful life she'd always believed in was just a facade. In reality...

Every night, a headless figure patrolled the campus; on every full moon, hundreds of ghosts walked the city's streets; a ghost bus appeared at the street corner at the same time every day; corpses mysteriously disappeared from the crematorium; a gigantic shadow floated above the city...

On a special forum, Li Yue learned that all unnatural and unscientific incidents were collectively known as [Urban Legends], and were handled jointly by special government departments and people with special abilities.

The incidents most discussed on the forum included: Tsukuyomi Station, zombie attacks, fox spirits killing people, witchcraft dolls, the tomb of the dead, the tunnel beneath the bridge, a cursed village...

The comic book said that humanity was facing a cataclysm, and it all began with the destruction of the special department.

Just as Li Yue was on the brink of death, she awakened an ability.

It was called...

Summoning the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

At that moment, the comic book was completely rewritten.

On the [Urban Legends] forum:

1L: Holy crap, a big shot showed up at Tsukuyomi Station!! This little guy only survived thanks to them. Thanks, big shot!

2L: I know a big shot too. They came riding down from the sky on a huge cat and landed right in the middle of a corpse-driving procession. That's awesome!

3L: Huh? Who? A big shot from the Daoist sect, the Buddhist sect, or the ability users?

4L: Probably none of those. This big shot's ability is even more unfathomable. You just can't guess what kind of monster will appear beside them next.

5L: Holy crap, people from the Special Incident Response Department just posted. They said a mysterious person saved their entire team in the Death Forest, and now they're searching the whole city for them.

6L:!!!666

When Li Yue read the second post, she made a furious face and glared at the orange cat beside her. This was the worst ability ever, hands down!

Because every single time,

this orange cat dragged her into some incident.

[Synopsis subject to revision; the premise and core concept will stay the same]

*I want to write a more absurd story, with horror elements.

*A friend gave me a complete set of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and I still haven't even unwrapped it!!! I absolutely have to write a novel related to the Classic of Mountains and Seas!!!
