I, the Paper Effigy Maker, Specialize in Funerals for the Supernatural

Chen Mo is the only heir of the third generation of the Chen family's paper-craft shop. Other people fear ghosts; he fears the books not balancing. In the eyes of the world, this is a rules-based horror space where the rules devour people. In his eyes, it's a shoddy System with gaps in its procedures and unsettled accounts. The Chen family's paper-craft mimicry, passed down through three generations, is the only "physical proof" this System recognizes: filling in names on the register, pasting together stand-ins, settling outstanding accounts, and handling the cleanup. Prices are clearly marked, and no credit is given. "Your esteemed institution can't complete the list? Fine, I'll do it. The order quota is 1.2 million. Pay 30 percent upfront."
