My House of Horrors Chapter 466

Chapter 466: 466
The sudden announcement from Chen Ge spooked Uncle Xu . From Chen Ge’s tone, he could hear the excitement in this Haunted House boss who did not know the meaning of the phrase ‘bottom line’ .
“The new scenario is very scary and is only open to visitors who have challenged a two-star scenario . Are there any courageous visitors who are willing to give it a try? We’re having a half-price promotion, and we already have six participants!”
Using the loudspeaker, Chen Ge repeated the promotion . With his Yin Yang Vision, he could see the interest on some of the visitors’ faces .
“I’ll go!” When most were hesitating, a young man in jeans walked out . His face was rather pale, and when he left the crowd, he turned back to share a look with a middle-aged man in the crowd .
“How shall I refer to you?” Chen Ge looked at the young man and nodded . With someone leading the way, the rest of the visitors were swayed .
“My surname is Lee . ” The young man had just come out from the one-star and two-star scenarios . He really could not connect the experience that he had just been through with this smiling boss before him .
“Okay, Mr . Lee, please hold on for a moment . ” Chen Ge picked up the loudspeaker and shouted again, “We already have seven participants! We need three more, and the underground morgue will be officially open! This is an extremely meaningful day! All of the participants’ stories will be written into the app’s introductory page!”
Finally, another group of visitors came forward . “Boss, count the three of us in . “
Two girls and one guy walked forward . These three were quite unique . The man was pale and very thin . He looked very polite and shy . There was a large bag on his arm, filled with food and drinks . The girl on his left wore sports sneakers, and she looked very outgoing . Her hair was tied in a ponytail, and there was a certain air about her . The girl on his right was the complete opposite of the other girl . She was only 1 . 6 meters tall, and she had a cute face . She looked so young like the friendly girl next door .

The three did not look like siblings or partners . They walked to Chen Ge and started their self-introduction . “We are editors from a supernatural magazine and your Haunted House’s loyal fans . We’ve already visited all of your scenarios . “
Chen Ge had no recollection of these people, but he pretended like he just remembered them . “Now that you mention it, I think I can remember . “
“Your Haunted House’s design is very good . How did you come up with these ideas? If you have time, we have to sit down and talk . ” The man wanted to exchange numbers with Chen Ge, and although Chen Ge initially rejected it, after seeing that the introduction of their company that was situated at Eastern Jiujiang, Chen Ge changed his mind . Perhaps he might run into them again in the future .
“Alright, ten people, this is perfect . What are your names?” Chen Ge was very polite to his customers, with a sincere smile on his face always .
“My name is Ah Nan, and this big sister is our main editor, Hu Ya . The girl on the other side is called Tails . Don’t be fooled by her appearance; all the innocence is just a front . ” The man held two large bags, and ignoring the eye-rolling from his colleagues, he continued the introduction .
“Hu Wa? Tails? Those sound like pen names . ” Chen Ge glanced at the big sister . The woman was wearing sportswear, and her presence was something that radiated from within . Perhaps from her job scope of managing writers, she gave the impression that she was not to be messed with, but she looked pretty when she smiled .
“Hu Ya does have canine teeth, but why is Tails called Tails?” Chen Ge glanced at the girl and thought the girl was quite cute . “The four of you, please come with me . “

Just as they were turning to go, someone in the crowd screamed, “Wait a minute! Boss, you allowed more than ten people to enter Mu Yang High School, and this is a three-star scenario; can’t you allow more people to go as a group?”
The one who spoke was a man who was about 1 . 9 meters tall . His sleeves were rolled up, and even though the day was not that hot, he was sweating profusely .
“You also want to visit the new scenario? Sure!” Chen Ge preferred this type of visitor—straight forward and open with his demands .
“We’re partners . ” The tall man walked toward the Haunted house and dragged a fatty with a drawn face behind him . “Do you mind adding two more people?”
“Even adding three more is fine! Let me tell you, there’s no need to worry so much . The most important thing from visiting a Haunted House is to have fun!”
“Boss Chen is awesome!” The man gave Chen Ge a thumbs up, thinking that Chen Ge was a forthright man .
“Other visitors have said that, but I just try my best . ” Chen Ge waved at them . “Follow me!”
Other visitors had just completed their tour and were running out . Chen Ge had the six visitors wait outside while he went in to sign the disclaimers . Entering the Haunted House, he ran to the ghost’s changing room to grabbed a few outfits . At the corner of the corridor, he summoned Ol’ Zhou, Duan Yue, and Bai Qiulin .
“Wear these clothes . Make sure not to expose your heart that is dyed . ” Chen Ge thought about it closely . After the employees put the outfits on, he ran to Yang Chen’s place to grab several disclaimers . Chen Ge had Bai Qiulin’s group sign the disclaimers and then went to the door to give the disclaimers to the rest . After they signed them, Chen Ge collected the disclaimers and put them away .
“Alright, let’s go meet up with the other visitors . ” Chen Ge led the six visitors deeper into the Haunted House, where the temperature was much lower than it was outside .
“Give me your disclaimers as well . ” Chen Ge collected the paper from Yang Chen’s group . After making sure that everything was in place, he led the twelve visitors to the scenario entrance . “This is the first time that the underground morgue has been open to the public; there are many things that might not be completed yet . If you see anything weird or aren’t sure if they are props, you’d better turn and run . “
“But wait… Boss, what do you mean by that? Is there stuff here that is not part of your Haunted House’s props?” Yang Chen knew how scary Chen Ge’s Haunted House was and paid attention to every single word that Chen Ge said .
“Of course . Other than props in the new scenario, there are many surprises waiting for you . ” Chen Ge sped up . “The underground morgue’s clearing requirement is different from the others . I have pasted five pictures of the victims on the wall in the central hub . You don’t need to go look for them—I’ve already told you their location—but remember, there are only five pictures, and only those with a picture will clear the scenario . “Hu Wa means Canine Teeth .

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.

Wet world wonderland.
A young girl of 16 years dies by drowning, and is reincarnated as a living Puddle of Water.Through many fantastical fun filled and wacky adventures our Protagonist will lead a better life than her last.Thank you for your time. Something I want to add, is that this story is written in first person, and I plan to carry on with it for a LONG time.-(Maybe thousands of chapters in size, until the story literally runs out of any potential to keep going.) So yes, there's still a lot of mystery and build up I have planned for future adventures. Wet World Wonderland is a story primarily concerned with the depth and complexity of its world and characters. So forgive me if something seems off, or isn't made immediately clear. I would love to talk, but try and consider that I might have something planned.(Not that you can't still criticize, of course. If you've got an opinion on something, I'd love to hear it.) If you plan on rating WWW, please read until chapter 20. WWW isn't the kind of story you can start judging from the first five chapters. Although, I admit I'm not so sure if 20 chapters in is good enough to judge it either, but I would still advise reading to at least that point. Also, if you have a problem with something in the story, please PM me, and I would love to talk about it. As of 1/19/2021 I have just added WWW's (Wet World Wonderland's) New Cover-Art. I know it's a bit weird, and probably sudden. And with all things considered, it may never make sense. But canonically with lore and info that has, or will be revealed in coming chapters, you might be able to put something together. Anyways, I hope you like it. Also, new symbol, at the top left of the image, hope you all like that too.As of 5/16/2022 the revised cover art for WWW has been uploaded, same as before with the first cover art. I hope you like it. Cover Art Credit goes to Itreallyisyaboi. They're on Instragram.
