As long as you have the courage, fierce ghosts go on maternity leave.

In this world, many things often do not go according to plan.

For example, you might have made a perfect plan of abstinence, determined to persevere, but there are always various things that interrupt you. Once interrupted, you can never regain that momentum.

Take Alexander, for example, he was determined to conserve his energy and get a good night's sleep. But he couldn't resist Isabella's temptation and ended up getting involved with her!

The key thing is... the experience was quite enjoyable!

The result of this was that even though Alexander's physical strength was far beyond an ordinary person's, he still managed to get dark circles under his eyes, and even had a bit of a stagger in his walk.

"Bro! What's going on? Did you overdo it last night?"

Behind him, a short-haired girl, Lucy, with a few freckles on her face, still rather attractive, dressed like a tomboy, and sitting at the same desk, wrapped an arm around Alexander's neck.

It's strange, perhaps because they're not of the same age, or just lazy to think too much, Alexander doesn't have a particularly good relationship with his classmates. It's not bad, but it's basically just acquaintances, a greeting would be nice.

The only person he's on very good terms with is this desk mate, Lucy. She's a tomboy, fairly good-looking, but her clothing style is boyish, which doesn't leave much to the imagination.

As her arm rested on his neck, Alexander had no extraneous thoughts. He just looked up and casually said, "I've been running a few horror instances, so I'm a bit tired."

"You? Running horror instances? Give me a break!" Lucy rolled her eyes, slapped Alexander on the shoulder, causing him to stumble, then burst into laughter.

"You look so weak, and you're saying you're not physically exhausted? Horror instances, more like brothel instances!"

Before Alexander had a chance to retort, Lucy, as if thinking of something, wrapped her arm around Alexander's neck again and said mysteriously, "I heard that someone in our class has become a Chosen One and entered the horror instance!"

"Who?" Alexander's heart skipped a beat, it wouldn't be about him, would it?

Fortunately, Lucy quickly continued, "James, remember him? The one who sits in the last row behind you!"

"I have some impression, seems like he's good at studying," Alexander responded.

"Others might say that, but when he ranked twenty-sixth, you ranked twenty-fifth, when he ranked sixteenth, you ranked fifteenth! Last time he barely got eighth place, you directly got seventh! Many people are saying that you are jealous of the rich, deliberately humiliating the second generation of the rich! You dare to say this, aren't you afraid he'll fight you?" Lucy said speechlessly.

"Why, you still don't know?" Alexander laughed.

The reason why his grades also improved so quickly was simple. After sitting at the same table with Lucy, Lucy couldn't stand his casual nature and forced him to take remedial classes.

Despite Lucy being a tomboy, she's a real top student, her grades have never fallen out of the top three in the entire grade, most of the time she's crushingly taking first place.

It is said that the school is considering recommending her for further study, but since the appearance of the Chosen Ones, it's become a lot harder for ordinary students to get recommendations.

"Don't be too complacent. He's the Chosen One now, and I heard he went through the 'The tube' instance! He got a B grade, and if nothing goes wrong he'll definitely get straight into college!" Lucy said with some annoyance.

"The tube ..."

Alexander's expression instantly turned strange. The instance of horror had a special protection mechanism. You can't recognise real people in it unless you've lived together for years and know each other like the back of your hand. Otherwise, voices and faces become blurred and distorted.

Therefore, Alexander was completely unaware that one of the participants in this instance was one of his own classmates.

A B grade? He vaguely remembered a guy with glasses who was extraordinarily persistent, was scared to tears and peed his trousers several times, but insisted on calling out to the end of the last item and then fainted from the fear induced by the four corners game.

At the time, he was in awe of the guy's tenacity. Never giving up even in the midst of fear and tears... what a talent!!!

He did not expect that this would be his own classmate!

"Let me tell you, the people in there are scary!" As soon as he entered the classroom, a guy with glasses was surrounded by everyone with a contented look on his face as he quipped:

"You guys don't know, this instance wasn't very dangerous, but it was extremely scary and one of the Chosen was practically scared to death!"

"But I, on the other hand, was fearless!"

"Do you know what was flowing from that tap? Blood!"

"And that ghost! It was horrible! It filled the cup with blood and then handed it to me!"

"But who am I? I was so brave! I just poured it down on the spot! I threw the glass at him and said, "What did you say? Get me another glass!"

"Another glass, huh! Look how brave I am, that ghost is stunned ..."

As James, the guy with the glasses, bragged away from his seat, Alexander was really a bit confused.

This guy really was a talent and his ability to make up stories was unmatched!

As a Ghost Master who existed in the real world, Alexander was different from other Ghost Masters in that he could use the Instanced Ghost Sphere to pull people directly from reality into the instance.

Should he pull this person in? Keep his soul as the writer of the instance?

Once the instance is developed, it needs to follow a storyline.

Just as Alexander pondered this question, James turned around, eyes blazing, shrugged off the crowd and approached eagerly, "Lucy, you're here? I missed you so much, I thought I wouldn't see you again!"

With that, he was about to rush forward for a hug.

Being a good student and being attractive are both very powerful qualities at school.

Alexander may not have been interested in Lucy's tomboy character, but as a brother he felt the need to stand up for himself at the moment. He walked up to James and said, "Class, I don't think a hug is necessary!" ! This friend of mine Lucy doesn't like close contact with other boys!"

Lucy gave Alexander a thumbs up behind his back, implying a meal in the cafeteria as a thank you, this was their usual understanding.

"Alexander, what do you have to be proud of!" James rolled up his sleeves revealing a blood-red scythe tattoo: "I am now a Chosen One, understand? With your grades, you certainly can't get into a good university, but as a Chosen One, I can choose any I want! It will be me who will go to the same university with Lucy in the future, not you. You're just an ordinary person!"

"Oh, a tattoo! Congratulations, I wonder how many times you wet your pants to get it?" Alexander expressed 'surprise'.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" James yelled.

Alexander, of course, wouldn't expose his own tattoo. He shrugged and said: "Coincidentally, I have a friend who also went into the instance. He said there was a nerd who got scared and wet his pants more than thirty times to get a B grade."

"Nonsense! It was just a few times!" James instinctively retorted, then realizing his mistake, his face turned pale.

Seeing the others trying not to laugh, he glared at Alexander fiercely: "You little bastard, you wait! When the time comes, I will make you, this inferior person, understand what it means to be a Chosen One!"

"What nonsense!" Lucy spat at James, turned around, and comforted Alexander: "Don't worry, I'll come to your house on Saturday and Sunday to tutor you, I'm sure you'll get into a good university!"

Five days passed in a blink of an eye. Alexander thought Lucy was just joking, but on Friday after school, she really came to ask for his address.

Being good friends, Alexander didn't think much about it and gave her his address.

However, before Alexander could enter the residential area, Lucy called him. As soon as he answered, she cursed him from the other side: "Alexander! You damn bastard, if you didn't want to give it to me, just say it. How dare you trick me, from now on, we're through!"

When he tried to call back, her phone was already turned off.

It was completely baffling! Alexander shook his head, greeted the security guard, and entered the community.

He was about to enter the Ghost Restaurant soon, he couldn't afford to bother about Lucy's tantrums.

…

In the city center, in a high-rise residential building, Lucy was gritting her teeth sitting in front of her computer.

On the desktop, a map software was input with the address Alexander had given her: 605 Nanshan Road, Meilin Living Area, Building 40, Unit 3, 302.

On the map, the only location that matched...

Was a cemetery!
