When I was in a world of unconventional rules and taboos

"I'm leaving."

Meeting the gazes of his family, Su Ming's eyes darkened. He knew that his time in this world of supernatural tales was coming to an end, and it was time to say goodbye.

"In such a hurry? Won't you stay for a meal?"

Mom lifted a large pile of ingredients in her hand, clearly indicating that she had been preparing carefully for this trip for a long time.

"elder brother..."

The younger brother standing next to him also had a slight change in expression, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

Not far away, the "father" with a cold face frowned slightly, silently watching Su Ming without saying a word.

The silly dog ​​at his feet started jumping up and down anxiously, as if it had sensed something.

"It's too late."

Su Ming shook his head. As the countdown accelerated, his body gradually became illusory, as if he were being detached from this world.

The silly dog ​​tried to hug his leg, but it passed right through him, as if it were embracing thin air.

The three of them—Mom, Dad, and the mischievous child—looked at the strange situation on Su Ming's body and seemed to understand something, as if they realized that he was not from this world.

As beings of supernatural origin, they are more likely to accept bizarre and strange things than ordinary people.

However, it seems unlikely that they will ever see each other again.

For a moment, they looked at each other in silence, filled only with reluctance to part.

The younger brother, mustering his courage, asked Su Ming:

"Brother, will you come back?"

"If I have the chance, I will."

Su Ming's gaze swept over the "family" in front of him, whose expressions varied. He seemed somewhat moved, as if he could feel a touch of kinship as an orphan.

Just as he was about to disappear completely, "Dad," who had been keeping a cold face, suddenly called out his name.

"Su Ming!"

Su Ming was stunned. In the last second before he disappeared, he looked at the "middle-aged man" who had been silent and domineering, with the personality of a traditional old father from China.

Be careful.

At the last moment, this man, who had always been a chauvinist and domineering, finally shed his disguise, as if he were an old father giving instructions to his departing son.

From beginning to end, he had no intention of killing Su Ming.

Otherwise, if he were to actually use his full strength to kill, Su Ming would likely die.

The gap between the two sides is beyond description.

If the other side hadn't been so lenient, Su Ming might not have been able to hold on until now.

You should know that even at this moment, after paying such a high price, it only made "Dad's" aura slightly weaker and more feeble.

"I understand, Dad."

Su Ming smiled, looking at his "family" and the silly dog ​​with a hint of reluctance in his eyes. Although they hadn't spent much time together, the experiences had left a deep impression on him.

Creatures from supernatural tales are not necessarily vicious and ruthless.

Be careful of the thing inside you; it's not human.

In the very last moment before Su Ming completely disappeared from this world of supernatural tales,

The voice of "Dad" suddenly appeared deep in his mind.

Ah!

Telepathy?

Wow, they hid it so well!

.....

The world of ghost stories.

Watching Su Ming disappear from sight, the family of three remained silent for a long time, quietly watching the spot where he left, lost in thought.

Soon, the "father," the head of the family, came to his senses, looked up at the house that had long since turned into ruins, and it was clear that he could no longer live there.

"Let's go, let's find a new place to stay."

For this family of three, finding a place to stay wasn't difficult.

Putting everything else aside, in the entire fallen city, there are very few strange creatures that can rival the strength of this family of three.

Those powerful individuals are also unwilling to provoke them easily.

The entire area surrounding the residential complex is considered to be their family of three's territory.

The other strange creatures in this area are just "ingredients" for making soup in their eyes, no different from their neighbors.

The mother, having retrieved the kitchen knife, casually took her youngest son's hand, preparing to follow in her husband's footsteps to find a new place to live.

The somewhat dejected child hung his head, being led away.

Suddenly, the family of three, who were about to leave, stopped in their tracks, as if they had sensed something was wrong.

Where's that silly dog?

[Level completion rewards are being distributed...]

[Completion Rewards: Family Blessings, Hellhound]

[Family Blessing: You have received the blessing of a family of three from the world of ghost stories, wishing the wanderer far from home safety. You will gain the ability of "Protection" once, granting immunity to one fatal attack. This ability refreshes every twenty-four hours.]

[Hellhound: A canine-shaped, mythical creature resurrected by a blood-red waning moon. It possesses unique abilities such as flame-breathing, danger warning, keen observation, feigning ignorance, and superb disguise. Although it mostly acts foolish, it is absolutely loyal to you.]

When Su Ming returned to the real world, he found himself staring right into the eyes of a round dog's head.

It's the silly dog ​​from the world of ghost stories!

Su Ming never expected that the silly dog ​​would come to the real world with him as a reward.

However, looking at the silly-looking big yellow dog in front of him, he found it really hard to associate it with the [Hellhound].

Su Ming grabbed the silly dog's two front paws, lifted it up, lowered his head, and observed it closely, trying to see what was different about the silly dog.

It seems that in the first ghost story world, he never saw what the dog looked like after it transformed.

The silly dog, suddenly brought to the real world, remained as goofy as ever, tongue lolling out, showing no signs of discomfort, and excitedly barking "woof woof woof." For him, as long as he was by his owner's side, everything would be fine.

Home is wherever Su Ming is.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Su Ming, whose face was covered in drool from the dog, laughed and cursed as he gave the dog a big slap.

"What a stupid dog!"

[Congratulations to the Chosen One of the Dragon Kingdom for achieving a perfect five-star rating in clearing this Ghost Story quest. Rewards for this Ghost Story dungeon will now be calculated.]

[Ding! The physical condition of the Dragon Kingdom's citizens has achieved "immunity to all diseases."]

[A Dragon Kingdom Chosen One has been detected to have received a five-star rating and will receive a hidden reward.]

[Hidden Reward: Randomly restore one of the fallen cities that has been mysteriously invaded.]

The chilling notification sound of the rule-breaking story instantly resounded throughout the world, reaching everyone's ears and causing an uproar!

The hidden reward is actually restoring a city that has been mysteriously invaded?!

The countries led by the Bald Eagle Empire instantly turned pale, as if their own father had died.

Seeing that the Dragon Kingdom not only cleared the game perfectly but also obtained a hidden reward, this was even more painful than killing them!

Their worst fears have come true!

The rise of the Dragon Kingdom is now unstoppable!
