[ Ding! The Limited Life system has begun connecting... ]

[ System linked successfully! ] 

[ The system's passive attribute 'Facing Life or Death' is being activated... ]

[ Introduction of 'Facing Life or Death': Forces the Host's life force to be compressed to the last day. ]

[ Ding! Attribute activated! Host has one last day of life left. ]

[ The host's date of death is: March 11th, 2011! ]

Sitting in the classroom, Blake looked around in a daze when a series of system notifications appeared in his view, catching his attention.

Sy... system? 

He was stunned. 

'Not only did I reincarnate, but I'm also bound to the system?' Blake thought to himself.

Precisely.

Five minutes later, Blake realized that he had traveled back to 2011, to his high school days when he was 18-years-old.

Returning to his youth, although being bound to a system, was something to be elated about.

However...

This system...? Which forcefully compressed his life to the last day? What the hell was that about?

"System, are you sure this is real?" asked Blake, with a stupefied look on his face.

"Ding! Reporting to host, the system's report is correct! The [ Limited Life ] system's passive attribute is to forcefully cram your life to one last day. Only then can it be considered a 'limited life', and life will be more riveting."

Blake was utterly confused.

'God damn the limit! 

'Is that the limit?

'There's only one day left before death, what use do I have for your system?!'

Blake was dejected.

The excitement he had of being reborn back in his final high school year had also dwindled by half at this point.

He could only live for one day. What was the use of being 18 again?

[ Ding! In order to make the host's final day enthralling, a special ability has been sent: the God of Luck's blessing! ]

[ Linking blessing. The host will not perish before the date of death! ]

Huh?

Upon hearing this new system notification, Blake first quivered, and then his face fell again.

Wouldn't die within a day?

What's the use of this 'blessing'?

'Couldn't you have let me live for two more days at least?!' Blake thought despondently.

All of a sudden, a shriek of astonishment startled the classroom.

"Everyone, look at this! Something happened to the famous adventure blogger on Tik Tok!"

A classmate shouted excitedly, tapping away on his cell phone. It seemed that he had encountered some hot news.

It was also recess, and many students in the classroom were idly chatting. After hearing this sudden announcement, they crowded around him.

"What's going on? Which outgoing blogger?"

"What happened? Is he still alive?"

The crowd couldn't help but to encircle and bombard him with questions

The student who caught the attention of the classroom struggled to stand up from the overwhelming crowd of students. He stared at the phone screen before declaring,

"It's that blogger called Jack London!"

He began to read out the news headline of the day.

"It's written in Tik Tok's Trending List that Jack London went to explore an ancient tomb that had been abandoned for more than 50 years. He went alone last night and had planned to broadcast the whole thing live.

"But at one o'clock in the morning, an unknown shriek of a woman crying suddenly echoed from the tomb! He mustered up his courage and went to check it out, encountering a girl clad in red, crying in the tomb behind him.

"Despite this horrifying scene, Jack thought that someone might be playing tricks on him, so he mustered up his courage and went to initiate a conversation with her.

"But... who would have imagined what happened next? Just as he approached the girl, she whipped back her head all of a sudden, and exposed her fangs. They were a dozen centimeters long, and she pounced on Jack London, biting him.

"According to the people who attended the livestream, the recording was very blurry and they couldn't really see anything, but Jack London's screams lasted for several minutes before it stopped.

"They realized later on that the live broadcast equipment seemed to have malfunctioned due to a power failure.

"The netizens keeping up with the livestream were terrified and they contacted the police. When they arrived at the scene that night, they found Jack London on the verge of death.

"As reported by the news that had just been released by the police, a bite mark was discovered on his neck, and it was about a few centimeters deep. He was suffering from blood loss and his vitals were very weak; he could have died at any time." However, the police also said that they did not locate any traces of activity by anyone other than Jack London at the scene, nor did they see a girl in red.

"A relevant blogger who specializes in paranormal activity mentioned that Jack may have unsettled the ghost in charge of the cemetery unknowingly, and therefore received the brunt of the ghost's revenge...

"The authorities have denied this claim and rejected the existence of ghosts in the world. We can be rest assured that they have hired a professional expedition team to investigate the situation at the cemetery tonight. Not only that, they have also announced that they will be broadcasting the entire event live to allow the public to witness the truth!"

...

The students pricked up their ears as they listened intently to the entire story, afraid of missing out on any important parts.

The expressions on their faces gradually transitioned from the initial curiosity to fear, worry, and disbelief.

"Phew!"

The students could not help but heave a sigh of relief after listening to the whole ordeal.

"Fortunately, the management has made a move. It seems that the truth of this incident will be revealed tonight."

Some students were seen patting their chests in assurance. It was evident that they had a lot of trust in the professional exploration team brought up in the news.

On the other hand, there were a handful of students whose fears did not seem to be quelled.

"I don't think it will end this easily."

Bob, a male student, held his chin between his fingers as he slowly analyzed the situation.

"I know Jack London, the adventure blogger. He is a renowned expert in outdoor exploration. In the past five years, he has traversed the Antarctic Ice Peak, Amazon Rainforest, East African cannibal tribe, Patagonia Rock City, Sahara Desert, Hawaiian Desert, and even...Mount Everest!

"Certainly, he is a very professional and experienced explorer.

"Even in the entire world, there are only very few explorers who rank higher than Jack in this profession.

"Logically speaking, encountering trouble in such a small, abandoned cemetery wouldn't have been a possibility for someone like him...

"Unless... This cemetery is abnormal," said another student named Jack, in a low, cautious voice.

Upon uttering this sentence, a gust of cold wind breezed outside the classroom door.

Everyone in the classroom was instantly petrified!

It was obviously summer, but they could not help but shiver.

"Jack, don't scare me! Isn't this cemetery in question just outside of this H City? There's even a village near that place. I've never heard of any accidents there before!" exclaimed a female student, resisting the urge to retort further.

But soon after, a voice interrupted her.

"Hehe, who says there aren't any?"

It was a male student.

When everyone heard it, they turned their heads towards the voice. It was David.

David was known as the know-it-all in the class. There was nothing in the world that this kid didn't know about!

Under everyone's watchful gaze, David slowly opened his mouth.

"My grandmother lives in a village near the cemetery. According to her, the cemetery has been around for decades. It was originally peaceful, but five years ago, after the burial of an 18-year-old girl at the site, the cemetery began to show signs of abnormality.

"The first realization was when a few villagers had gone to pay their respects to the dead. They then discovered bloody fingerprints on the originally clean tombstones. Soon after, some villagers claimed that they could often hear the miserable cries of women in that place at night. They were able to hear it clearly, even from more than one kilometer away.

"Subsequently, a few villagers who strolled at night entered the cemetery by mistake and never came back out. The next day, when someone was sent to check, it was found that they had all stopped breathing.

"In short, all these years, there have been all kinds of strange occurrences taking place in that cemetery.

"This adventure blogger named Jack London had also heard about these rumors and went to explore.

"However, these rumors aren't known to many. Firstly, it's because that place is a large fruit-growing area. The local people deliberately hid these incidents to ensure that the fruits in their village sold well.

"Secondly, it's because many of the people who succumbed to these incidents were unimportant vagrants. They didn't have any family members who alerted the police...

"Therefore, no officials have been involved in this matter.

"It wasn't until Jack's live broadcast in London that this graveyard was revealed to the public's eyes.

"Everyone, this matter isn't that simple. I think... The official expedition team will probably run into problems this time too..."

The students in the class were prone to being scared out of their wits, but when they heard of such insider news, their faces turned pale and they were scared silly.

Many timid students even trembled as they walked out of the classroom to get some fresh air, and they did not dare to stay in the classroom any longer.

As he compiled all that he had been hearing from the conversation while sitting in a corner, Blake seemed to have thought of something. He frowned and fell silent, his head clouded with thoughts.

The live broadcast of the cemetery exploration...

Explorer Jack London died...

He remembered this news.

In his previous life, indeed, there was an explorer who died.

Moreover, it wasn't just that.

He also clearly remembered that Jack London wasn't the only one who died in the end.

It was also...

"The entire expedition team that was supposed to be sent to the cemetery later tonight... had an accident...!"

Blake frowned as he recalled, and news fragments flashed through his mind simultaneously.

"That cemetery... is really strange. David was... right!"

Blake looked out of the window toward the location of the cemetery, his gaze deep.

"It's just such a pity that no one discovered the secret of the cemetery in the end..."

If only he could have decoded it in this lifetime...

He couldn't help but wonder about how he only had one day left to live. Isn't there anything else better to do than mulling over this?

"This is so f*cking worrisome. That Jack London probably won't even be dead yet, and I'll be dead already!"

He couldn't help but swear.

At this moment...

A system notification beeped in his mind.
