Lin Qingyi inherited his family's haunted-themed hotel, which was on the verge of bankruptcy.
His parents had impulsively spent a fortune turning it into a horror-themed internet sensation, but it only stayed popular for less than six months. Once the buzz faded, business was so poor they couldn't even afford the repair bills.
The day before he was about to file for bankruptcy, Lin Qingyi and the hotel transmigrated into a post-apocalyptic world overrun by the supernatural.
He also got himself a bargain System.
[Congratulations, Host. You have been bound to the Management System. Please work hard to increase the hotel's revenue and grow it into a thriving business!]
But the humans in this world struggle to survive every day under the supernatural creatures' claws. Their lives are like horror movies. Who would spend money to seek thrills at a haunted-themed hotel?
Can he still declare bankruptcy now?
A new topic had recently been spreading among the supernatural creatures: a hotel had suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the city center.
It was protected by a powerful barrier, and its interior design had the unmistakable aesthetic of the supernatural.
They all speculated that some big shot had gone into business, only to discover that the hotel dealt with humans and that its owner was a human who looked fair, beautiful, and delicious.
No, that had to be an illusion.
Look at that pillow that gives off a strange fragrance. Just getting close to it makes your mind go fuzzy and robs you of your ability to fight.
And the carpet on the floor gives off heat. Maybe it'll suddenly burst into flames and attack you at night.
Not to mention the dinner, which boosts your energy with just one bite. Who knows how many high-level supernatural creatures the owner must have killed to make it so nourishing!
Truly unfathomable! Never trust him!
Lin Qingyi: If I say these are just a sleep-enhancing pillow, a temperature-controlled carpet, and a nutritious dinner made by the System, will you believe I'm human?
Supernatural creatures: Believe you? Yeah, right!
Lin Qingyi, the hotel manager, had been thoroughly worn out lately.
Not only did he have to work hard to increase revenue and maintain the hard-won peace and love between the supernatural and humans, he also had to deal with a certain special presence.
"Xie Shuyan, I'm warning you. If you suddenly appear by the dining table and scare off all my guests again, you're banned from the hotel for three days!"
Lin Qingyi angrily poked at the shadow moving along the wall, making it clear that he meant what he said.
The shadow slowly spread from the wall into the real world. Xie Shuyan fixed his dark gray eyes on the person puffing with anger and let his shadow coil around his legs.
"Then let's try it outside."
1. This story is set in a wholly fictional world, with plenty of original worldbuilding. It's mainly meant to be satisfying and sweet. If anything doesn't make sense, I apologize in advance.
2. There are no absolute good or evil sides among the supernatural creatures and humans. Both have good and bad individuals. The hotel welcomes all species. "Supernatural creatures" is simply a term for nonhumans.
3. Building up the hotel, running the business, making money, and leveling up! Hope you enjoy reading.
