Chapter 912: 912
Chapter 912: Headlines!
Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97
“Director Luo needs a highly difficult mission, and this mission that I designed will be able to satisfy him . ” Chen Ge stayed at the School of the Afterlife until dawn . To perfect this four-star scenario, he had not slept a wink . “One has to wear the band designed by Director Luo to enter this scenario so that the doctors can rush to save them at first notice . ”
After the underground morgue was unlocked, Chen Ge had grown more courageous . As long as Doctor Wei said it was okay, he dared to do it . Hugging the white cat out of the scenario, Chen Ge left tired, but his brain was active . “Am I sick?”
Since the School of the Afterlife was unlocked, the reward that correspond to that scenario should have unlocked as well . Putting the white cat down, Chen Ge entered the dressing room and found Lin Sisi’s phone and Zhang Ya’s bedtime story in an unassuming wooden box in the corner of the room . He had used Lin Sisi’s phone before, so there was nothing to be said . He opened the phone to look at it, and it contained a lot of information related to Lin Sisi and the video of him being bullied .
“This thing belongs to Lin Sisi . I’d better keep it . ” Chen Ge did not delete anything on the phone but used the comic to summon Tong Tong . “Can you possess this phone?”
After trying, Tong Tong nodded .
“Okay then, I’ll leave Lin Sisi’s phone in your care . Tomorrow, when visitors enter the school, just follow my instructions . ” Chen Ge handed Lin Sisi’s phone to Tong Tong, who looked like he had just gained a new toy . However, Chen Ge was reminded of something else . Once he entered the School of the Afterlife, Chen Ge had been knocked unconscious, and Chang Wenyu had stolen his phone, causing him to be inactive .
“I can’t let that happen again . ” Chen Ge went online to order several custom-made phones that matched the appearance of the black phone . He did not need them to have many functions, as long as they could call, send messages, and hide Specters . He had just opened the browser and had not even started his search when he saw the day’s headlines . He glanced at them out of habit, but when he did, he was stunned .

Of the ten headlines, two of them were related to Chen Ge’s Haunted House!
The top five highlights were celebrity gossip, but from the sixth headline, things took a strange turn, like a clear rivulet turning into a swampy ravine .
“The world after death really exists‽ The real testimonies from several comatose patients who woke up on the same day!”
Then, the seventh highlight that followed it was: “The fainted world is a theme park in the real world!”
Clicking on it, Chen Ge realized that the name New Century Park had entered the top twenty most searched terms of the day, and the number was still climbing .
“Did Director Luo buy these clicks?” Normally, he would read the news, but to have his workplace appear on the news, that was quite uncomfortable for Chen Ge . “Hopefully, Director Luo will be able to handle this . ”
Chen Ge refreshed the page and was about to go and find a web store that could custom make a phone when he saw the fiftieth headline and the two familiar words that appeared on the end of it .
“Chen Ge?” The highlight had just two simple words, and it appeared conspicuous among other highlights that had long titles . “Why is my name there?”
Chen Ge was sure that he did not see wrongly . He really did see his name among the daily news headlines .
“What is going on?” Quickly clicking on the link, Chen Ge realized that his ‘glorious’ history of helping the police had all been dug up—the livestream where he encountered the murderer in the haunted house; the livestream where he was chased by mad people in the mental asylum; how he had helped the Jiujiang police capture criminals, solve cases, and unearth the truth behind the case that had been silent for five years during the period when his livestream was banned; and even the news of him receiving the good citizen award had been found by the internet .
Some internet users even created a Chen Ge Wikipedia page, but the more they dug, the more shocked they were . Just what kind of a man was this?
All the information that they had found already existed online, including the award announcement on Jiujiang Law Enforcement’s website, Chen Ge’s livestreams, and many ‘tearful complaints’ from the numerous Haunted House visitors . There were rumors flying everywhere, and many people thought that Chen Ge was not a simple Haunted House operator, that it was just a cover .

Some said that he was a Private Investigator, some believed that he was a psychologist, and some guessed that he was a mysticism researcher . There was so much online that Chen Ge felt a headache coming . The comatose patients who woke up pushed him to the center of attention . He could not keep a low profile even if he wanted to . After looking through the article for a while, Chen Ge sighed in relief . The users were just guessing . None of them had any proof, and more importantly, the children had forgotten about the events behind the door; they only had a brief recollection of them .
When their spirits returned to their bodies, their memories became blurry . The experience behind the door would be like a very long nightmare, and Chen Ge was the person who woke them up . They appreciated Chen Ge a lot, but they had no idea why that was .
“Even I was in the headlines . Should I make use of this chance to promote the haunted house?” Chen Ge had never been someone who hesitated for too long . He logged into his video account, and even without having released any videos, he saw the wild growth of his followers and fan . With every new refresh, the number would continue to climb . One should strike the iron while it was hot, so Chen Ge used his account to release a teaser about the new scenario .
Once he logged on, the forum instantly exploded . The activity was so high that it scared even Chen Ge .
“Do I have such a big following?”
Chen Ge replied to about ten private messages, but there were simply too many, so he had to log out . Putting the phone away, Chen Ge turned to the last reward—Zhang Ya’s bedtime story . The book had a black cover, and it felt special to the touch like it was weaved from hair . Just touching it caused his body to break out in cold sweat .
“I’ll take a look at it when I’m free . ” Chen Ge placed the book in a drawer in the staff breakroom and lay in bed to take a small rest .
At 8 am, the employees had gathered at the door . Chen Ge’s chat the previous night had been quite effective . “Mind your scenarios carefully . Que Changlin, come with me . I have a special mission for you . ”
Chen Ge called Que Changlin over . Since theme park had not opened, he sent him over to the workshop boss, Qian Guigen . “I need to custom-make fifty student mannequins, and I need to use them tomorrow . So, you’ll be here helping me . ”
“Use them tomorrow? Do we have enough time?”
“It’ll be fine . ” Chen Ge took out the design that he had come up with the previous night . “You can start with this, and I’ll come to help you in the afternoon . ”
Then Chen Ge’s phone rang; it was Director Luo telling him to get back to the theme park . After giving the down payment to Boss Qian, Chen Ge hurried back to New Century Park and realized that Director Luo and Uncle Xu were both standing at the resting hall .
“Xiao Chen, the promo for the School of the Afterlife has been completed based on your request . Come and see if there’s anything that needs editing . ” Director Luo summoned Chen Ge .
“It’s perfect, matched the world after death perfectly . ” Chen Ge was satisfied with the promo . “By the way, Director Luo, have you seen the news headlines today? Did you buy those placements? How come even I am among them?”
“If I bought the placements, I would have placed New Century Park at number one . ” Director Luo shook his head . “Yesterday, there were at least ten children who were reported by the news, but the actual number hasn’t been reported . Many media outlets are watching this, and we are right at the center of it all . However, this also means that we must be careful . Be cautious of your words . Say what you need to, but keep the lid on anything that you shouldn’t . ”

The Cosmic Interloper
Synopsis: A cyborg transhuman escapes her corporate indenture and through unfathomably unlikely circumstances, she ends up in a fantasy world of full of unique magic, angry people with sharp implements, and the whole flavor-spectrum of divine entities. Hilarity ensues. Features: - No blue boxes or cultivation, this is not a LitRPG nor about martial arts - Hard-ish Sci-Fi meets hard-ish magic - Generally trying to keep this "rational" Rationale: My primary goal with The Cosmic Interloper is to write something that I myself would enjoy reading. Of course, that’s not the only motivation, but I think it’s the most important one for me to keep in mind, especially as the author. In fact, this whole story came about because after consuming oodles of fiction, I found myself craving a very specific type of story which I couldn’t find many examples of. Then I asked myself, “why not write it myself?” and here we are. Disclaimer: In general, while I’m not writing a comedy, I do intend for this story to be funny and a bit wacky or absurd. That said though, I am using this story as a vehicle to explore some potentially dark topics including (but not limited to) slavery, speciesism/racism, and existential questions of self, consciousness, and identity. Still, I’m going to leave the “traumatizing content” tags off, because I don’t feel that what I’ve written so far (or plan on writing) exceeds the threshold that would be necessary for me to tag it thusly. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way she views the world is not the objective truth (if such a thing even exists).

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.

Tale of the mage hero [Completed]
so I've been into rising of the shield hero for a while now... a lot of things about it ALWAYS bugged me starting with the fact that the world functions like a game and the heroes are supposed to fight together in a party.... BUT WHERE'S THE ARCHMAGE?! THE BLATANT DISRESPECT TO THE MAGE CLASS IS REAL AND ANGERING! so I decided as a gamer who rather enjoys being a mage and healer, I'd rectify that. and other things. for all intents and purposes this is a self insert but I will be using my proxy OC that I use in my nutty fangirl daydreams. DON'T WORRY! I'M NERFING MY PROXY! this will follow the plot of the anime because..... I want to. and I'm..... LAZY~! and using the manga is too much trouble and the light novel is 800+ chapters long. So FUCK THAT! anyways if you read this and think it's lackluster then I want to see you try your hand at writing tate no yuusha fics! no that's not a challenge or insult it's just a desperate plea for more tate fics... we need some more variety! Alright I'm gonna be honest here. This story is laughably bad. So read at your own risk. The only reason I'm not revising it is because 1 I'm Lazy as fuck and 2 to serve as a lesson on what NOT to do for new writers. So like I said, read at your own risk.
