My House of Horrors Chapter 346

Chapter 346
“I’ve already introduced the scenario . Three-star scenario, there’s no path to follow, and it’s completely open . All you need to do is find a blood red wedding dress and bring it out . ” Chen Ge came up with the rules on the spot . After all, this was his Haunted House; his words were the rules .
“That simple?” The young hair turned back to ask Chen Ge, “Are there any hidden conditions? Some Haunted Houses will design multiple side missions to make the experience more enjoyable . They allow the visitors to explore the place on their own, to increase playability . “
“There are many hidden plots inside my Haunted House . You can explore it to your heart’s content . ” Chen Ge’s smile was like the sun, it made people feel warmed .
“Then how about time requirement for clearing the scenario?” The large man chimed in . It was quite obvious that they were experienced players . They knew the ins and outs of Haunted Houses .
“Since this is the first time the place has been open to the public, I’ll give you more time . As long as you can find the wedding dress in forty minutes, I’ll consider it a success . ” Chen Ge was kind . He wanted the visitors to experience Coffin Village fully, so he purposely extended the time limit .
“We won’t need forty minutes . ” The young hair flicked his bangs back . He too was a prideful man . “We’ve reviewed many Haunted Houses, and the longest we’ve taken was thirty minutes . “
“Forty minutes is indeed too long, but this way we can look around . ” The leading woman still held her phone, having no intention of putting it away . When Ye Xiaoxin entered the Haunted House, she had used her paper and pen for her notes . Based on this alone, one could see they were not on the same level . Actually, Chen Ge knew what the woman was up to . The Haunted House review was just a gimmick . She wanted to use the scary atmosphere to create a contrast to her cute demeanor . She was a lesser reviewer compared to Ye Xiaoxin, who knew and respected the rules of Haunted Houses .

“Yes, go look around, you might find more hidden joys . ” Chen Ge was so kind that even the three ‘visitors’ following him could not stand it . After he had the three new visitors sign the disclaimers, he led the eight of them to the end of the corridor and lifted up the wooden boards . A blast of cold air came from underground, causing them to shiver .
“Only a wooden board is used to separate the scenarios . It’s too rough, minus one point for set design . ” The woman added another note to her phone .
Chen Ge was not angry . He was so nice that even his reminder was given with a kind smile . “Our Haunted House doesn’t allow the usage of phones and other recording devices . Please do mind that . “
“I’m a certified reviewer . The phone is just to record data . Don’t just assume stuff . “
“Understood, when you start your review, please be kind . ” Chen Ge politely sent the eight into the scenario . “The one on the left is the two-star scenario Mu Yang High School; the one behind the steel door on the right is the Third Sick Hall . Coffin Village, which you’re challenging today, is just ahead . “
When Chen Ge entered the underground earlier, he had seen a meandering path appearing between the Third Sick Hall and Mu Yang High School . At the end of the path was a pale light .
“Coffin Village is at the end of the path . This is where I’ll leave you, have fun . ” Chen Ge stood at the mouth of the path and sent the visitors away . It’s nice that the three scenarios are separated, but after the expansion turns the Haunted House into a maze, all the underground scenarios might join together to create a large scary scenario .
After three expansions, the Haunted House would morph into a Maze of Terror . It had been expanded twice already, and the third time was not that far away . Chen Ge looked down the other two scenarios . Inside the Mu Yang High School, the sealed classroom’s door was pushed open . A mannequin head peeked out as if to see whether Chen Ge had already left or not . When it saw Chen Ge, it rolled back into the classroom and closed the door .

Those students sure are naughty . I’ll need to have them memorize the worker’s rules later . Chen Ge returned to the surface and headed to the props room . He ransacked the place and finally found the reward at the corner—Seamstress’ Wedding Dress . The tattered wedding dress was red as blood . It was possessed by a hatred-filled spirit . If one leaned close enough, one might even hear the weeping of a woman . If the visitors saw this, they would be so angry . Chen Ge had not even placed the thing that they were supposed to look for into the scenario . The happiness in finding it after looking for a long time is the real fun of the game .
He wrapped the wedding dress inside a black cloth . Chen Ge entered the changing room . This was the unique construct that he had obtained after the Haunted House’s second expansion . None of the visitors had tried it before . Chen Ge selected one of the less conspicuous outfits and put on some make-up . “This is not bad . I look normal from afar, but upon closer inspection, it’s quite scary . “
Chen Ge entered Coffin Village again . He used the black phone to inspect the hidden tunnels and pathways inside the village and took out the comic . When the ghost stories society was battling the Zhu woman, Chen Ge had made use of the opportunity to collect a few ghosts into the comic . After a whole night of ‘education’, the lingering spirits had been reformed .
“I’ve told you it’s a good decision to follow me . This is the new home I’ve arranged for all of you . The whole village is yours . You can feed on the visitors’ fear and screams, but remember one thing, you cannot harm the visitors and no physical contact, understood?”
Chen Ge walked through Coffin Village and tossed out the ghosts as he went . “The completion rate for the mission is only seven percent, which means the scariest thing at this scenario hasn’t arrived . Thankfully, I remembered to carry some ghosts from the village itself . “
Looking at the village that came back to ‘life’, Chen Ge flashed a satisfied smile . “Even though it is quite harsh and demanding, all the sacrifice is worth it to give the visitors the best experience . “
Chen Ge felt like he was the kind that worked in the background . If he revealed all the effort he had done, the visitors would be so touched .
…
Amid creepy music and a heavy atmosphere, when the eight visitors reached the end of the path, what they saw stunned them—rows of old houses, intertwining streets, fluttering paper money, and the white paper lanterns giving off pale light hanging at the door .
“This is Coffin Village?” The leading woman shrunk back and silently hid behind her companions .

The Sorcerer
This is a fanfiction based on Harry Potter, written by JK Rowling. BEFORE YOU LEAVE, as fan fiction isn't what royal road is known for unless your book is called Borne of Caution, hear me out. This is based 200 years into the future. Hogwarts will be very different, and besides some references, we will follow no characters from the book. In my opinion, this is more of a new, mature, and more realistic version of that universe. If we want to put an analogy to it, I'm borrowing the house, but it's my furniture and things on the inside. Synopsis - 200 years since the battle of Hogwarts. The muggles know - magic is no longer a secret. Wizards and witches show their magical traits much later in life now, their powers weaker than previous generations... and to make matters worse, there is a steady decline in the wizarding population. Follow along as Lux, a muggle-born, shows the world what one determined young wizard can do.

Another world? Some weird magic? Sure.
Writing my last novel, I realized that before you start, an ending should be there in your mind. So I wrote this as an atonement to my first novel. This is a typical story about someone who gets stranded in another world with OP powers. But this is not about just the MC, but also some people around him who directly/indirectly had their lives changed. I've written this as a collection of short stories where some may be bigger and more intense than the others. Note: I've finished writing all the chapters, but will upload on my own discretion.

Saga of the Jewels VOLUME ONE COMPLETE
Prefer to listen to rather than read Saga of the Jewels? I'm also releasing it as a free audibook serial podcast on iTunes here! Epic YA JRPG-influenced GameLit progression ensemble-cast steampunk romance fantasy! When Ryn’s hometown is destroyed, will he be able to gather together the twelve Primeval Jewels in order to defeat the evil Emperor and save the world of Mid? A fan novelization of an amazing Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist, that currently releases at least one chapter a month. Epic in that this will be very long. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint!” (-Kandaj) YA in that this should be enjoyable to~13-year-olds and upwards. Some gore, some swearing, some sex, but nothing more than PG-13. JRPG-influenced / GameLit in that it uses lots of JRPG tropes, particularly from Final Fantasy. I’ve read a lot of fan Final Fantasy novelisations and you can basically think of this as a fan novelisation of its own Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist as a game... Progression in that the characters level up over time (though not with visible litrpg stat boxes). They grow in ability through training and experience, gain new skills, individually and as a party (think Chrono Trigger) and spend time discussing and stratgeising about how to defeat their opponents. Main protagonist from book three would definitely be able to defeat himself from book one! Ensemble-cast because we've got quite the roster of misfits here. The first volume is all from the main protagonist's POV, but it starts dancing between his and different POVs thereafter. Steampunk in that we’ve also got airships, steam trains, pistols and ambiguous ‘amber bars’ that function a bit like artificial lights… Romance in that there is lots of shipping here, a few love triangles, and you may be kept guessing as to who will actually end up together... Fantasy in that we’re in a vaguely pre-modern setting. We’ve got swords, magic, dragons, dungeons, monsters, all that good stuff. * "This story captures that Final Fantasy quality perfectly. Kiddy but also grim. The characters are great... Severely underrated and needs more favorites/follows. I look forward to seeing how this story will unfold." -Gilgamesh9999 "Starting at the end and jumping backwards is not a writing style seen every day. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but you've executed a fairly crazy idea very skillfully so far. Overall, a strong start to what could be a very strong story." -RandomFF.netUser "You definitely have my interest piqued. It'll be interesting to see where the story goes... It definitely has an 'old school Final Fantasy' type feel to it, which I appreciate...Good job! I am glad you are going into more details about the story you laid out in the prologue...of course the big burning question is 'You know they lose in the the first chapter, so how will they end up winning?' That of course, is the story you're writing...so we'll see how it goes! #Following." -KyleQuicksilver (quotes are from reviews on other sites) * If you enjoy it, don’t forget to boost Saga of the Jewels on topwebfiction.com!

Mutation Era
That one fateful day, he showed up. The man in black. He who acted like this life was just another game. He appeared everywhere. Floating up in the sky. So naturally, but yet strangely eerie. He raised his hand and snapped then… Mutation. ... This is my first story that i've written, and with no education in story-writing, please don't expect anything of quality. I encourage you to give me feedback on my work. On that note, have fun reading! You can expect maybe 1 or 2 chapters per month because I'm really slow at writing. Chapter art courtesy of gej302
