Chapter 1028: Similarities Between the Ghost Fetus and the Black Phone
Helping the police detain the criminal twice brushed up Chen Ge’s reputation within the local law enforcement greatly . The arrest of a Grade A fugitive was going to create big news, but due to Jia Ming’s own uniqueness and the fact that the cases that he was involved in were not revealed to the public, Chen Ge’s name only made the rounds among certain law enforcement circles .
“Officers, the boy’s father has just been killed, and his mother is in ICU . Now is his most vulnerable moment . If possible, I wish to accompany him . ” Chen Ge carried the backpack and hugged the boy’s shoulders as he pulled him to his side .
“Don’t worry, we will call in the professional to look after him and give him proper counselling . ”
“Then, can I visit him sometimes? I know his parents, and we have some catching up to do . May I?” Chen Ge looked at the boy with warmth .
“When you wish to see him, just call Inspector Lee Zheng and ask for a request . ” The officers did not have the heart to reject Chen Ge .
“Thank you . ” Chen Ge squatted behind the boy . “My name is Chen Ge . Come find me if you need anything . ”
“I remember you… On the bus, you sat behind father…” The boy had once entered Li Wan City with Chen Ge on the hearse . He could still remember Chen Ge’s face .
“That day, I should have brought you all away with me . If I’d done that, you wouldn’t have suffered so much . ” After giving the boy a light hug, Chen Ge picked up the backpack and left the small alley .
Seeing him walk away, the two plainclothes sighed softly . “Such a kind man . ”
Chen Ge did not hear that, of course . After leaving the alley, he did not return to New Century Park but walked into a nearby building . Standing inside the stairwell where the sun could not reach, Chen Ge flipped through the comic, and the scent of blood tickled his nose . Soon, the stench and Xu Yin appeared, holding Jiang Long between him .

“Chen Ge, give me one more chance . I don’t know what came over me earlier . I was just acting on instinct . I couldn’t control myself!” Jiang Long was so damaged that his shadow was gotten much lighter . He kept begging for mercy . “I’ll give you important information . Zhen Zhen and I have already found a candidate chosen by the ghost fetus . The boy has a failed sense of smell . His smell was taken by the ghost fetus!”
Chen Ge was expressionless as he looked at Jiang Long . “Bring me to him . ”
“He’s already dead . It was Bei Ye who killed him . ” Jiang Long revealed more . “Every candidate chosen by the ghost fetus has a corresponding door, and behind the door hides one of the ghost fetus’ powers . If you can find the item that contains the ghost fetus’ lingering spirit behind the door, you can gain that power . ”
“There is such a thing?”
“I got that knowledge from the shadow, but it’s hard to put it into action . Seven days ago, we found that child, and we entered the door when he was sleeping . The item in question was a toy dog . ” Jiang Long sneaked a look at Chen Ge at this point . “I can take you to see that toy dog and the mud statuette with the boy’s name . ”
“Wait a minute . At most, you are just a Half Red Specter . How could you manage to kill the Specter left behind by the ghost fetus behind the door on your own?” Chen Ge himself had entered the doors of these children . Any of these doors were almost as powerful as a two-star scenario .
“The more doors you open, the closer the ghost fetus comes to waking up, and thus, his presence will get stronger . The door I opened was the first one, so it was also the easiest one . ” Chen Ge calculated the timeline . Jiang Long was not lying about that . He had entered Jiang Ming and Wu Sheng’s doors . The world behind Wu Sheng’s door was obviously bigger and scarier than Jiang Ming’s door .

“Take me to that toy dog . ”
“Okay, they’re back inside that small yard . ”
With Jiang Long leading the way, Chen Ge returned to the small yard . He entered from the backdoor and found a black leather case under the bed . Opening it, Chen Ge saw a toy dog that had lost most of its fake fur . Chen Ge remembered this toy dog too . When he first moved, he had found this toy on the stairs . At the time, the dog had still been quite new, and it had looked fluffy and cute with its fur . He had no idea who had left it there, but after waiting there for an hour, he had taken the toy home with him .
“Was this one of the shadow’s toys?” Chen Ge reached out to pick up the toy dog . At the same time, the black phone in his pocket vibrated . Chen Ge pulled the Specters all back into the comic and took out the black phone .
“Completed 3/9 of the four-star Trial Mission, Ghost Fetus . The ghost fetus’ sense of smell is heavily injured . Red Specters’ Favored, you do not have much time left!”
When he saw the message, Chen Ge sighed in relief . Jiang Long did not lie to him . The toy dog did come out from one of the doors . Unfortunately, it was not Chen Ge who had found the boy but Jiang Long and Bei Ye . With a sigh, Chen Ge placed the mud statuette on his shadow . The bloodied mud statuette had the name Liu Wen on it . When the statuette touched Chen Ge’s shadow, the blood stains disappeared rapidly . This time, Chen Ge stood to the side and observed this quietly . He noticed that his shadow was like a deep pool, and through the surface of the pool, he could catch a blurry glimpse of a woman’s sleeping face .
“The wounds on Zhang Ya appear to be recovering . Looks like the black blood on the statuette is of great help to her . ” With his hand on the shadow, Chen Ge’s eyes narrowed . The woman who appeared to be floating in an endless ocean flickered her lashes like she was awakening . When the last drop of blood was sucked away, the mud statuette with Liu Wen’s name shattered .
“Liu Wen, Wu Sheng, Fang Yu, and the statuette with my name… After Zhang Ya absorbs all the black blood from these statuettes, perhaps she will wake up . ”
Standing in the stairwell, Chen Ge looked at the shattered statuette .
“To get reborn as a man, the ghost fetus has stolen different powers from nine children, including the sense of smell, hearing, sight, and so on . But… they correspond perfectly with the rewards that the black phone has been giving me! When I first got the black phone, the first power I was given was Yin Yang Vision . That is the power of sight . Then I got the talent of Living Doll, a power related to creation of human body . Then I got Ghost Ear and Spirit Sniff, which correspond to the five senses . They are similar to the various powers that the ghost fetus has taken away from these children!
“Is the ghost fetus also doing the same mission given by the black phone, or are they actually two sides of the same coin?”
Chen Ge was overwhelmed by a sudden chill . Perhaps this moment was predestined as soon as he picked up the black phone .

And even with all the power I gain... The world ends on a Tuesday. ... This is currently a completed story arc, though it's not the end. New updates are starting March 28, 2022. Actively updating. Mostly on Mondays/Thursdays. WARNING: FLAWED MC and not great early writing. Edits are on the list. ... *LitRPG-Isekai start with a return to Earth to stop the System apocalypse goal. Still a first draft, but with a bunch of edits from you guys thrown in. Thanks for that. Guaranteed updates on Monday and Thursday. This story is only available on RoyalRoad and my Patreon. If you find it anywhere else, please reach out to me. Thank you. Old cover provided by Asviloka. She's also does werds!Current cover provided by Fuyudust. Old synopsis "Hi, my name is Alexis," I say into the camera, as I attempt to calm my nerves."And I'm Sab," I hear my best friend add from beside me. It's good to have her there, it's been far too long."I'm trying to focus," I tell Sab as I look into the camera. Will anyone even watch this?"What, just cause I didn't get sent to another world, where magic and dragons are real, I don't get to be a part of this?" she questions me. I can hear the hurt in her voice. I wish she'd been there. Things might have been... different. I can't believe I thought it was a game. If it had been, she'd have been the better choice."I said I was sorry. It's not like I knew I was going to be kidnapped by the system," I lamely apologize. She deserves more, but this is important."Coming soon, to an earth near you," she might be making light, but I can hear the fear in her voice."It's not funny Sab. It really is coming," I can't help but reply to her words, even though I know she didn't mean it."Come on Lexi, it's a little funny." she tries while chuckling nervously."Sigh. Look, can we just get back to telling them?" I ask, pointing at the laptop."Sure, but first you should show them some magic," Sab declares while waving her arms around."I told you. It's not that simple. I only showed you because you could tell it wasn't fake. They'd just think it was special effects," or come after me to try to lock me in a basement."Yeah, well they're not going to believe you anyway. It sounds pretty crazy, even to me. And I've seen what you can do," she proclaims. I didn't think it was that special, but she was super impressed by my magical abilities."Maybe, but I have to try. We don't have much time," I state as I stop the recording, before starting a new one."Hello, my name is Alexis," I pronounce, projecting as much confidence as I can at the little camera."Remember, the world ends on a Tuesday."

Campaign: A Project Starfarer Sidestory
This novel’s lore, story and characters are entirely fictitious. Certain long-standing countries, institutions, organizations, agencies, and public offices are mentioned, but their histories and the characters involved are wholly imaginary. "What will you do with your freedom?"Growing up in a meritocracy, infamous for being lawless, Jordan Astros had been repeatedly asked this question, since times unmemorable. In a society where one's accomplishments and skills were tallied and ranked in order to determine one's standard of living however, Jordan quickly grew to understand that 'freedom,' was a reward earned by accumulating Merit. And so, after his 17th birthday, Jordan departed his Clan's habitat in orbit of Europa to embark on his century-long journey to rise from E-Ranker to S-Rank. And spread his name throughout the Galilean Powers. *** Campaign is a sidestory within its NanoPunk parent series, Project Starfarer. (Yet to be published. Be on the lookout for it!) In which the first transhuman known to humanity, the Starfarer, invokes a plan to seed terrestrial life throughout the galaxy. Campaign takes place around the middle of that timeline and explores the life of a key figure in that universe, Jordan Astros. And explores one of four great nations thriving in the Solar System during that time. A Meritocracy that spans Jupiter and its 79 moons, The Galilean Powers. What you'll find in Campaign: Brutal melee combat in airless and pressurized low gravity environments. A technology based progression system influenced by merit and accomplishments; using tech that's theoretically possible to exist in the near-future. An exploratory perspective of the dozens of Galilean societies, or 'Powers,' from Jordans; and sometimes others', POV. What you wont find: Romance. Harems. An MC who receives shortcuts, handouts, learns things unnaturally fast or has OP plot armor. Jordan is not a special individual. Jordan is not OP and he likely never will be. He's no different than any other citizen in the Galilean Powers and will certainly face as many defeats as he does wins. He'll suffer losses and grow as an individual, while the Powers evolves around him as well. This is semi-hard sci-fi/NanoPunk and takes place in a fictional version of our future solar system. Centered around technology that's plausible in the near-centuries to come. Everything abides by the laws of physics/thermodynamics (As best that I understand them, at least. I'm no scientist.) No artificial gravity, inertial dampeners, teleportation, FTL, or hand-wavy materials will be found in the Project Starfarer universe. Just advanced automation, nanotechnology, cybernetics and AI. Set in the backdrop of space. *I do not own the photo used for the cover*
