A Little Scary, but It’s Fine [Infinite]

[Mild Horror, Plot-Focused Infinite Flow | Updates to Match Rankings Before Joining VIP, Daily Updates After]

Jiang Qiang had her fortune told when she was born.

The old man said she was born under an ill star, and that bad people were destined to plague her all her life.

Countless bizarre incidents happened to her as she grew up.

For instance, her childhood friend was clearly sweet and kind, yet ended up in juvenile detention for deliberately setting a fire, after which all trace of her vanished.

The landlord she had always thought was a decent person turned out to be a serial killer.

The gentle, considerate young man next door would smile and greet her during the day, but in the dead of night, he would calmly set about dismembering a body...

At first, they were all ordinary humans, so Jiang Qiang put up with it.

That was until her friend suddenly went missing, and Jiang Qiang saw a twisted ghostly face in the mirror at her friend's home.

The female ghost's three eyes gleamed with a chilling smile. Her deathly pale hand reached out of the mirror, trying to drag Jiang Qiang inside.

"How about making a deal with me?" the female ghost coaxed.

"I've got something good for you."

To achieve her goal, Jiang Qiang took the initiative and joined a large-scale horror exam called The Sorrowful Echo, becoming one of its many examinees.

The entry requirements were easy and the rewards for passing were generous, so countless people eagerly put their lives on the line to take part.

Jiang Qiang was calm as still water: "I'm not afraid of murderers. Why would I be afraid of a little exam?"

As it turned out, Jiang Qiang was naive.

Other people took exams with kind, upright, responsible teammates.

They worked together, faced every challenge as one, and pulled in the same direction.

As for her, the odds of being paired with selfish, evil, mentally ill teammates were as high as ninety-nine percent.

Even during the thrilling escape stage, when vengeful ghosts were hunting her down, she had to stay on guard in case the murderous teammate ahead of her, who held a grudge against her, turned around and cracked her with a club.

Still, though it was a little scary, it was fine.

After all, she was the ill star here. Could a ghost really outdo her at bringing bad luck?

*This is a web novel for entertainment. Please don't read too much into it.

*This is not a strong female lead story. The heroine gets scared, feels fear, and makes mistakes. She is not perfect.

*As the blurb says, many supporting characters are vile, obnoxious, and a hindrance. This is part of the premise, though there are good supporting characters too. If it makes you uncomfortable, remember to stop reading in time.

*The romance is negligible, accounting for almost none of the story.
