MTL - Under the Tutelage of the Golden Lion: The Beginning of the Overlord - Chapter 248

The Reticent Blade is, first and foremost, a wuxia novel, meaning that the world and its character’s powers and abilities are more grounded.

It is a time of chaos and strife, where war and death are rampant. We follow the intertwining story of several protagonists and antagonists as they navigate the chaotic times, unraveling the threads that connect the past, the present, and the future of the world.The Reticent Blade is a story of heroism, love, revenge, and cruelty.The Reticent Blade is a story of both the righteousness and vileness of the jianghu.

“Block him.”“He's technically still my boss.”“Then block him with dignity.”The call ended again.And then started again.I let out a sound somewhere between a growl and a sob, then finally answered with the enthusiasm of a snail crawling through salt.“Yes, Mr. Walton?”“Have you changed your mind yet?”I collapsed onto the towel and gazed at the sky as though it might consume me entirely if I pleaded sweetly enough.“Do you ever take a break?” I asked, shielding my eyes with one hand.“You're avoiding the question.”“Because it's a dumb question.”He exhaled, the sound sharp and irritated even over phone. “It's not a dumb question. It's a business offer.”“It's a weird offer-one that I already said no to.”There was a brief pause, and I could practically hear him clenching his jaw through the speaker.“You are acting unreasonably.”“ Unreasonable?” I sat up. “I'm not the one drafting fake girlfriend contracts like it's a normal Tuesday.”“Isabella-”“Certainly not, Mr. Walton.” I mimicked his tone perfectly. “I told you I'm not doing it.

Meng Shu travels to a very backward world of suspense and horror,

Got a game development system that monkeys can use.

In this parallel world where VR has been popularized,

You can buy step-by-step tutorials for all games in the previous life by collecting the player’s scare value.

What game can scare players?

Scary horror game!

Therefore, in this unpopular field that no one cares about,

He used the system to develop one after another VR version of horror games that scared the shit out of players.

“Escape” made the players love and hate, complaining endlessly, saying that their hearts couldn’t bear it.

“Face” puts players on high alert, frightened every step of the way, and then yells “Fuck” when they are frightened by the noise of the radio.

“Amnesia” caused the players’ San value to plummet, and they were always in pain and torture surrounded by fear.

“The Evil Within” allows players to experience the sensory impact of blood and flesh, as well as the scream of fear of being chased by monsters.

“Alien Isolation” allows players to see the horror of aliens for the first time in history, so that they dare not shoot with a gun.

“Living Brain Cells”, “Silent Hill”, “Resident Evil”, “Layers of Fear”, “Apsoff”, “Midnight Harem of Teddy Bear”, “Dead Soul”, “Paper People”, “Dead Space”, “Haunted House” and so on .

Every one of his horror and horror games can make players all over the world scream!
