Chapter 1424: 1424
Chapter 1424 In Modern Day 22
Without the window being opened, the notebook flipped open by itself?Did someone enter my room?
Or rather, is it a paranormal incident?
Erm, there’s a ghost following me . It’s normal to have paranormal incidents…
In that second, countless thoughts flash through my mind .
At the same time, I see a monster drawn on the page of the open notebook .
The monster is humanoid, but it’s made of tiny squirming worms .
This sounds very bizarre and terrifying, but in reality, it feels nothing of the sort . This is because this drawing is very simple and crude . It resembles the random scribbling of a kindergarten child .
No way? Some brat entered my room? A relative of one of my flatmates? As I think about it, I pick up my notebook and flip through it quickly, searching for other traces .
After flipping through two pages, I see lines of text:
“My drawing expertise is really bad .
“The main problem isn’t me . I was once called a master artist .
“War is art! War is aesthetics!
“It’s like I’ve had a dream that I often had . The dream is filled with such strange languages .
“I’m such a decadent fellow!
“We really are women!”
…
These lines of text weren’t that difficult to read, but the things written down look very chaotic . It gives me a headache as I instinctively stop reading and close the notebook .
There’s a problem with this!
This is like an incantation for dark magic!
I’ve experienced quite a few things in the past two days . I barely managed to calm myself down as I cast my gaze towards the window .
On the glass window, the blonde female ghost that looks like she’s cosplaying appears .
“Do you know who did it?” I ask in a suppressed voice .

“It was done by an evil spirit,” the female ghost replies with an ethereal voice .
Evil spirit sounds more advanced than some spirit or poltergeist… As a modern youth who has played many foreign games and watched some foreign television series, I think the name sounds pretty cool .
“Er… Is an evil spirit more powerful?” I ask after some deliberation .
The female ghost nods her head in agreement .
“Will this be more troublesome?” I think of asking Madam Daly to exorcise the ghosts again, but I’m also worried that she won’t be able to deal with ghosts at the level of evil spirits .
“I’m also an evil spirit,” the female ghost says simply .
“…Okay . ” I don’t know how to respond .
“W-what’s that evil spirit’s intention behind scrawling in my notebook?” It takes me a few seconds to recall the main purpose of my question .
The female ghost shakes her head .
“I don’t know . ”
“…” I open my mouth and change the topic . “How should I address you?”
I can’t just keep calling her female ghost, right? That’s not polite .
“Sharron . ” After the female ghost says that, her figure gradually fades and disappears from the glass window .
Seeing that she’s very calm and composed, I’m relieved . I tease myself, It’s a huge incident . There’s no use panicking . Just focus on sleeping!
Then I wash up and go to bed . It ends up being an uneventful night .
The next morning, I wake up on time as usual . I laze in bed for ten minutes and take my time to leave the house . On the way to the bus stop, I buy a burrito that can virtually wrap everything .
With the burrito in hand, I take the bus and arrive at the company . I sit in my seat, then I get some water from the water dispenser and get down to eating breakfast .

Sigh, if I hadn’t treated myself last night, then I should be having a cup of sweet soy milk .
Thinking of sweet soy milk, I associate it with the new product that has just been released at the store I frequently buy from .
Salted soy milk!
This seems to be the unique way to eat in a few places . Soy milk with soy sauce added to it!
I don’t know what it tastes like… I eat my breakfast seriously and start preparing for work .
At this moment, Rozanne, who is almost late, rushes in with a huge bag in her hand .
“Here, have some beverages . My treat,” she says to everyone in the office .
She’s a lady with good personal relations . Including me, most of the people stand up and surround her .
“What beverages are there?” I ask casually .
Rozanne puts down her bag and hands the bag to everyone .
“Aiya, I bought a lot of bottles to get what I wanted .
“They all have different flavors .
“Sigh, if you’re alive, then you should have a gambler inside you!
“Come, let’s see what I picked . ”
What in the world is she talking about?… I’m beginning to doubt Rozanne’s ability to express herself .
However, I still understood the last sentence . I quickly reach into the bag and take out a beverage .
I wonder what flavor it will be? Just as I have this thought, I see a familiar bottle design .
It’s a bottle formed by twisted snake-like patterns!
This is very similar to the Assassin beverage I drank before, but the color is a little different!
It was black before, but now it’s blue!
“…” I quickly turn the bottle around and see the name on the front:
Instigator
“Aren’t you going to drink it? You don’t like this? Why don’t you drink this last bottle instead?” Rozanne points at the last bottle in the bag, puzzled .
The beverage bottle is like a ball of extended flames . It’s very cool .
“No, I’m just thinking, I’m thinking…” I subconsciously refuse, searching for an excuse .
As these thoughts flash through my mind, I blurt out, “I’m wondering if I should match it with some snacks!”
As I speak, I take out the snack that was given to me by CEO Huang’s non-blood-related granddaughter, Cattie Huang .
That small bag of dried mushrooms .

Reincarnated As A Benevolent Tyrant
NOTICE: This story is under rewrite. New novel has been published. Search **RE: Tyranny** in Royalroad for the new novel.Link- Re: Tyranny Thank You! ------------------------ "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." What a brilliant line, isn't it? James was a boy who had nothing to worry about. A happy family, a nice childhood. What's more to ask? But one day, everything changed. He lost everything in the blink of an eye. The only thing left for him were the memories and dreams of the past. Trying to cope up with the loss, he cut all ties with the outside world and became a shut-in, having no one left to call his own or to rely upon. There was nothing left for him in this world, but still he lived and soon found a purpose in his life, which lead him to create something that could change the world.And on the very day when his dream project was about to come to the light, he lost his life, trying to save a little girl from an unfortunate accident. "Will I ever be remembered...? I wish... someone would." These were the last word James mumbled before his conscious faded into darkness. But his life didn't end there, as he is transmigrated into the body of an arrogant, worthless Duke's son in some unknown land with no memories about who is or any idea about where he is. In an era of political turmoil and civil strife, the Duke's son is forced to prove his worth for inheriting the title. Will he be able to accept the new reality and prove himself by leading this country into a prosperous future? Or will he cease to the pressure of his past and lose everything once more? Disclaimer: This is not a power-fantasy or a 'feel-good' story. If you feel a protagonist should never lack agency (especially in early story) or make compromises because of difficult circumstances, then this fiction is probably not for you. It is a story that delves deep into real world sociological/psychological subjects and explores many topics of gray morality. I wrote it because I like stories that make me think more about the world around us, not to detach myself from reality. Some aspects you can expect based on the tags include:- [Kingdom Building]: political drama, geopolitical/geoeconomic strategy- [Army Building]: massive battles featuring in-depth planning, combined arms, and operational logistics- [Identity Crisis]: someone translated into a whole different world having to rebuild their identity and life aims The story starts off slowly, more like a slice of life than action-adventure, but I guarantee you it will get there. For those who want to skip the slow part, start from Chapter - 35 (Beginning of The End) (The whole Disclaimer section is copied from Aorii as I am too busy writing the complete story.) And yes, just for General Knowledge, James will become OP throughout the story. He is not some legendary guy who will pull out Excalibur & conquer the entire world. Update Schedule - One chapter a day. This novel is also available on Scribble Hub. And again, I humbly thank you for reading it. I hope you stick throughout the journey.
