Creative Number Twenty-Six

There is a hidden industry called "story hunting." All unfinished stories - eunuch novels, discontinued serials, stillborn scripts - will drift in the "narrative dark space" like lonely ghosts. They long for completion, for an end. The "story hunter" is responsible for finding them, writing the ending with his own hands, and sending them to rest. Every time a story is hunted, the hunter can obtain its "copyrighted remnant soul" - which can be exchanged for real-life wealth, memory, and even lifespan. Chen Yan is a top story hunter with twelve years of experience. He has hunted more than 3,000 docking stories and never failed. His weapon is a pen. As long as he reads the previous text of an unfinished story, he can deduce the only, inevitable and irreversible ending in his mind. He writes it down and the story dies. One day, Chen Yan received a new commission pushed by the system - anonymous publishing. The commission contained only one word: "I".
