The venue was packed with people, and huge banners were hung around it that read "World's Number One Ghost Storyteller." However, it wasn't Jiang Ran standing on the banner; he was also among the crowd.
"The world's number one ghost story writer, whose dream is this now?"
They're already dreaming! Can't they have some ambition? Look at Max Planck, he pursued immortality, what a noble dream!
Since Jiang Ran himself is the world's number one ghost storyteller, he felt that this identity was not as remarkable as he had imagined.
On the red stage, a figure slowly walked up the stairs, smiling and greeting everyone.
The female fans below immediately erupted in thunderous cheers!
"Aransta!"
"Aransta!"
"Aransta!"
Aransta stood on the stage in shiny leather shoes and a sharp suit, a signature smile on his face, but he was practically swaggering, looking down on everyone!
Thank you all for your support, I love you all!
As he spoke, he blew kisses to the female fans below, and many of them immediately fainted!
This guy's vanity in his dreams is absolutely off the charts! Jiang Ran was even speechless.
"Let us give a warm welcome to the world's greatest ghost storyteller, Mr. Aransta! His past honors..."
My God! Jiang Ran didn't expect the host to spend a full five minutes just reading out Alansta's honors. He almost couldn't help but rush up and hit someone in the middle!
"Although the outcome is already a foregone conclusion, I will still do my best to clear the game!"
Aransta turned and stepped into the portal to the world of ghost stories.
Jiang Ran thought some important ceremony was taking place here, but it turned out to be just this bastard's grand entrance before entering the world of ghost stories?!
Brother, do you have to go to the Ghost Story World event every month? Do you have to make such a big fuss every month?
Please, this is so bizarre!
But then something even more bizarre happened: Jiang Ran, surrounded by everyone, was also transported into a world of strange tales...
[Jiang Ran, a ghost storyteller from the Dragon Kingdom, has connected to the SSSS-level ghost story world, Moonlit Cemetery. Two ghost storytellers have already challenged it, but neither has cleared it yet.]
To show off his awesomeness, this guy actually created an SSSS-level ghost story world in his dream. Jiang Ran was truly impressed.
This is a 30-player raid instance. As soon as Jiang Ran entered, he saw Arceus grabbing Aransta's shoulder and acting coquettishly.
"Hey boss! Take me with you!"
"Hahaha! Don't worry, brother, passing this level is a piece of cake, a piece of cake!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his palm and flipped it back and forth a couple of times!
Rule 1: Don't look at the moon! Don't stay in moonlight for extended periods!
[Rule Two: If someone returns after being out of your sight for a period of time, you'd better be wary of them]
Rule Three: Darkness is the best protection. The goddess of night will protect her children, but only if you are completely immersed in darkness.
Rule 4: Always pay attention to the epitaphs on tombstones. Be wary of any epitaphs that look strange. If you see a blank tombstone, don't hesitate, leave immediately.
[Rule 5: If you want to add a unique touch to this cemetery, you can make your own tombstone and plant it in the ground.]
[Rule Six: Always maintain a devout faith in the Goddess of the Night and refrain from any blasphemous acts.]
[Rule Seven: The goddess is the goddess of the night, and the bright moon is her symbol. Moonlight will wash away all your pain, so please look up at the moon.]
Rule Eight: "Find two intersecting pieces of wood, make a simple cross with them, smear it with the blood of the deceased, and then insert it into your own heart"—from The Confessions of the Goddess.
Jiang Ran also realized something: other people's dreams are not necessarily safe. What would happen if he died in one of them?
"If it's just your own dream, then it's fine. Even if you die in your dream, you'll just wake up at most. But if you're in someone else's dream, it will cause your consciousness to collapse."
The mountain god gave an answer.
Consciousness collapse? What's the difference between that and being a living dead?
Jiang Ran couldn't help but curse Alansta inwardly. Just how dedicated was he to fighting monsters and talking about the world even in his dreams?
Moreover, in order to show off, he created an SSSS-level supernatural world. Jiang Ran hoped that this supernatural world was just a name without substance. If it really was that difficult, well...
However, this is still a good match for his major, but Jiang Ran is a little uncomfortable with Gwen not being around.
Jiang Ran quickly gleaned several keywords from the rules: moon, goddess, tombstone. Clearly, the rules were conflicting. Rule 1 indicated that the moon was dangerous, but Rule 7 overturned this conclusion.
More than one rule mentions the so-called Goddess of the Night, which corresponds to the two powers of darkness and the moon. If both of these are safe, then it loses its meaning; if both are dangerous, then there's no point in playing.
Both darkness and the moon represent night, but only one of them can be safe!
The moon may seem like a beacon in the darkness, but in many religious systems, it is not a very positive symbol.
The brighter the moon, the deeper the night; the moon itself represents darkness, not its corresponding light.
For example, in Tarot, the "Moon" represents confusion, distress, and unease, signifying uncertainty about the future and mental turmoil. This is not a good card, forming a stark contrast with the "Star" and "Sun" cards before and after it.
However, we cannot so arbitrarily conclude that the moon is dangerous, after all, another word for it is "darkness," which is also not a good thing.
Fortunately, this is just Aransta's dream, not a supernatural world created by any god, so it will not be affected by the interference of the "true god" level.
Jiang Ran was ready to see how Aransta, the "protagonist," was chosen.
Aransta looked left and right, then scratched his head and led Arceus forward.
The moonlight shone on everyone, and at least for now, those who were bathed in moonlight were not affected. The rules only stated that one should not stay under the moonlight for too long.
Jiang Ran stepped into the darkness, but did not completely enter it. After about two seconds, he returned to the moonlight.
Since we can't stay under the moonlight for long, we can create a "break" condition.
Under the high-hanging bright moon, a bird's cry rang out in the air.
