Selling Your Haunted House

Haunting Rose

He inches closer, a single finger roaming her heated skin. Breath mingling with breath. A loud bang vibrates through the room, so thunderous as if god himself was furious. Slowly he looks up staring out the large glass windows to the backyard, "You have a visitor." His rasps calmly. "Who?" Rose quickly fires, feigning ignorance. She knew well enough who it was. Her nightly visitor has arrived. Surprising, He only visits when she is alone. "One who comes out at night. Lurking in the shadows, in the darkness... just like its intensions." He looks down still leaning on top her, once more pinning her with his intense gaze. "Are you afraid?" His voice dead serious, eyes going back to look outside. And Rose lied, "No." But is it a lie when her fear was never really rooting enough to make her run the other way but instead often getting mixed with exhilaration. "You should be." He leaves her staring wide eyed on the sofa and goes to stand before the glass panes. "It's not happy to see me here. I can see the raging pits of fire in it's gaze. Ready to burn me right where I stand." he chuckled, sounding most sinister, "It definitely wants to rip my innards out." "You should take off your shirt." He suggests casually. "Excuse me?" "Let's see if it riles him up even more to shatter instead of just slamming the windows like a wuss." He rouses under his breath, his excited provocative tone not escaping Rose's attention. What the hell is he up to? "This isn't funny." Rose sputters out, standing up from the couch. "I'm not trying to be." He faces her again, sporting a deadpan face. "Whatever. You think I'm one of your stupid fan girls to take my shirt off just because you want to rile someone up? Besides, there's probably no one outside and you're only making it up to see my boobs like a pervert." His eyes roams her from top to bottom, there was distaste evident in his gaze. "When he comes at night and leaves a little something for you, maybe then you take off your clothes for him... like a slut." Rome stared into her eyes with nothing behind those icy orbs to show for a lack of meaning behind his words. Because he means every single thing he says to her. "Get. Out. Now!" Rose boomed furiously. "Whatever, I was leaving anyway. This has become boring." He walks towards her front door. "Wait. How do you know he comes at night and leaves something?" her eyes narrow. "Because I've seen it before." "You saw him? It is a real guy?" Rose wanted to confirm, for some reason she thought otherwise. "I never said I saw him. I've only seen it happening to someone else." "Whom?" "You don't need to know." He closes off. "Then at least tell me what happened to her? Can I meet this person?" "You can't." Refusing calmly he was almost out the door when Rose pleads against hope. "Please." "You can't because she disappeared." Those were the words that finally did it. Brought her racing heart and buzzing head to a sudden halt. "Never to be seen again." "When he stops visiting, that's when you should be most afraid." His words rang like a siren in the silence of her mind as he left. Now she felt true fear for the first time. == In the embrace of her ancestral town, Rose seeks refuge from the echoes of her past. Little does she know, her return to her roots will awaken dormant shadows, shattering ordinary her existence. For when the darkness falls over the town, from the pitch black rises a shadowy figure that haunt her nights. In the darkness he sweeps her off the ground in terrible fear and the allure of sinister intrigue. And once the sun comes, a man with a god awful attitude, haunts her in the broad day light. Causing her to swell with pure disdain. With each passing night, it draws closer to Rose, casting a chilling spell that both terrifies and exhilarates her. Thrust into a labyrinth of mysteries can she navigate the treacherous path laid before her, or will her nightly visitor consume her whole?

I Sell Instant Noodles in the Wasteland

Chu Ling was obsessed with a novel titled 'My Wife is Mute in the Apocalypse' and deeply captivated by the female lead’s wife, Gu Xiyan. Despite being mute, Gu Xiyan relied on her ability to see through people’s hearts to ascend step by step and become the ruler of the post-apocalyptic world. However, Chu Ling was enraged when she realized the female lead used Gu Xiyan as a stepping stone for her own gain. Just as she was about to leave a comment to complain to the author, a truck accident transported her into the novel, where she became a minor cannon fodder character who only had a few lines. To make matters worse, the system that bound itself to her malfunctioned, swapping out the survival system intended for the apocalypse with the 'Shut-in System' "Would you like this braised beef-flavored instant noodle or the pickled cabbage-flavored one?" While trying to survive the apocalypse by selling instant noodles, Chu Ling unexpectedly encountered Gu Xiyan. Knowing what the female lead would do to harm her later, Chu Ling resolved to help Gu Xiyan escape the female lead's clutches! "Gu Xiyan fell for the female lead because the female lead saved her life! So if I save Gu Xiyan instead, she won't fall for her, right? I’m a genius!" From afar, Chu Ling stared at Gu Xiyan, thinking to herself, Wow, Gu Xiyan is so gorgeous. No wonder I like her. Wait, why is Gu Xiyan blushing? Gu Xiyan, mute since childhood, had thought she would spend her entire life that way. She never expected to awaken the ability to read minds. Listening to the vulgar thoughts hidden behind the polite facades of others, she realized that the apocalypse had not only destroyed the world but also corrupted human hearts. But then, a noisy voice repeatedly broke through the mental cacophony. Gu Xiyan pinpointed the source of the voice—a mercenary who had been staring at her. On the surface, the mercenary seemed emotionless, and Gu Xiyan assumed she was just another money-driven individual. Yet the voice in her mind was deafening: [She’s so beautiful! I love her so much! I wonder if she eats instant noodles?] The repeated confessions left Gu Xiyan’s heart numb.
