The Wizard Log of a Kobold 狗头人的巫师日志
Rugg was feeling down. He’d noticed that he’d been shedding a little lately. But that wasn’t important. The door to the supernatural world was opening before him. He would become a powerful wizard, then grow scales all over, just like that annoying, terrifying, twenty-eight-clawed burrowing dragon. In his spare time, he often dreamed that he would no longer have a dog’s face, but would become the clean-cut human he used to be. He also often thought about growing the slender, twisted, curved horn

Welcome to the Sinister Game 欢迎来到诡诞游戏
(Mild horror, infinite-flow, folk customs, Chinese-style Lovecraftian horror) Zhou You always thought his life would be perfectly ordinary.

From then on, the “ordinary” stepped into the “extraordinary.” The inescapable Building Four, the haunted old district, the fleshy Tai Sui singing an ascension opera, the indescribable
