Chapter 852
To find the old headmaster, Chen Ge had visited Mu Yang High School several times . This would be the first time that he had come so close to the old headmaster, so whoever stood in his way would be his enemy .
From Chen Ge’s perspective, bumping into each other would only happen in dramas; he had already decided to do everything in his power to find the old headmaster . It was not only because the old headmaster knew how to leave the School of the Afterlife; it was also because he knew plenty about his parents, and that would help in Chen Ge’s understanding of the Haunted House, the black phone, and even himself .
Abandoning everyone and risking his life at a four-star scenario, does he even place the students in his class in his heart?
Chen Ge wished to know the answer, so he needed to meet the old headmaster in person .
The situation at the school turned creepier . Slapping sounds echoed on the windows, red fog stuck to the glass, and he could see cracks starting to form .
Most of three-star scenarios are an enclosed scenario like Third Sick Hall . Due to the uniqueness of Li Wan City, the black phone determined it as a 3 . 5-star scenario…
Chen Ge looked at the window, and a question bubbled up .
I saw a broken window in the Third Sick Hall before, and Men Nan has been trying to fix it . According to him, if the broken window is not fixed and is seen by other dirty things, it might attract things that are very dangerous . The Third Sick Hall is closed upon itself . Due to his weakness, Men Nan never thought of leaving the scenario, so he did not dare imagine what the outside of Third Sick Hall looks like .

Looking at the rolling red fog outside the window, Chen Ge was reminded of the Coffin Village .
The world behind the door in that village was also red, but the ghost in the well was far more powerful than Men Nan . She was as powerful as Zhang Ya before consuming the shadow’s heart, so she had the power to protect that little village . But she has been trying to research the methods to reincarnate, to shake off the identity of a ghost . She should have seen something very scary behind the door, and that’s the reason behind her desperation . To be able to make a Red Specter so scared, that has to be the real terror behind the door .
His duel with Doctor Gao in the underground morgue flashed across his mind . Doctor Gao had chosen to suffer all the sin behind the door on his own . He had buried the door and personally ruined the door that he had opened . After the door collapsed, the ceiling made from blood vessels and organs had crumbled, and the glow of the blood red moon had filtered down from above . Chen Ge remembered clearly what he had seen . From the opening in the underground morgue, he had looked out and seen a red city .
It was an endless, red city, that is what is beyond these scary scenarios? Or rather, no matter how many stars the scenarios have, are they all part of this red city?
Chen Ge felt like he was getting closer to the truth, but at the same time, he grew more worried . Doctor Gao was the scariest enemy that he had ever faced; he was cautious, powerful, and had many helpers . Chen Ge even suspected that the suicide was part of his plan . However, an existence like that had become a madman entangled in chains after leaving his original scenario for a few days .

Moreover, Doctor Gao loved his wife; that was the single conviction keeping him alive . Chen Ge knew that even if Doctor Gao’s soul got destroyed, he would not allow anyone to hurt his wife, not even her dead body . But in reality, when they met again, Doctor Gao only had his wife’s skull left . Chen Ge could not imagine what had happened to Doctor Gao behind the door and what kind of terror he had encountered . He had decided to cooperate with Doctor Gao in Li Wan City because he wanted to know everything he could about the world behind the door . This was because he suspected that his parents had entered that red city .
I’ve been to many three-star scenarios . They are all closed off, so four-star scenarios…
Chen Ge was thinking when he heard something next to him .
Pa!
The window next to him suddenly shattered . Numerous glass shard sprayed at him, but thankfully, Xu Yin helped to block them all .
“The glass cracked?” The school window was broken . This scenario was connected to the outside world . There were outlines of buildings in the fog, and bizarrely, the distance between the school and those buildings was decreasing like they were moving .
“This way!” Screams and footsteps came from the end of the corridor . Chen Ge hurried and had everyone hide inside one of the classrooms . Blood fog slithered in through the broken window like a red python seeking its pray .
Moments later, seven men in staff uniforms and the teachers hurried over . The leader was Mr . Lei, whom Chen Ge had met earlier . They were carrying tools and fixed the windows in several seconds . But to Chen Ge’s surprise, although seven people came to fix the window, six left .
One had disappeared .
Does each window represents a soul or lingering spirit? thought Chen Ge . The door pusher opened the door at their most desperate moment, so their despair can be counted as a kind of lingering spirit . It is because they are unable to resolve it that they sink ever deeper . This despair isolated their heart from the world, and it is the despair that prevented their scenario from interacting with the red city, which is how a fully enclosed scenario is born .
For three-star scenarios, a broken window is something dangerous . They have never interacted with the red city before, but it is different for four-star scenario . Based on Mr . Lei’s reaction, they appear to encounter this often . They have already gotten used to the red city outside the school .
The more Chen Ge thought about it, the more sense it made . The original door pusher at the school had already been consumed . The door had weakened greatly, but it had not been destroyed . After surviving the hardest period, the door had become something else .
The strange phenomenon happening now probably has something to do with the painter or Chang Wenyu . I cannot predict what those two mad people will do .
After Mr . Lei’s group left, Chen Ge led his people out of the classroom and rushed toward the western side of the school . The alarm had stopped, and there was no one in the corridor, only a death-like stillness .

Mother of Learning
Zorian is a teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. He is a driven and irritable young man, consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, whom he resents for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, he has no time for pointless distractions or paying attention to other people's problems. As it happens, time is something he is about to get plenty of. On the eve of the Cyoria's annual summer festival, he is killed and brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take a train to Cyoria. Suddenly trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, Zorian will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery before him. And he does have to unravel it, for the time loop hadn't been made for his sake and dangers lurk everywhere... Repetition is the mother of learning, but Zorian will have to first make sure he survives to try again - in a world of magic, even a time traveler isn't safe from those who wish him ill. ********************************** If anyone is interested, I have a story-related worldbuilding site that can be found here. I don't update it as often as I should, but there is a fair amount of content there already. It also contains a page with all the fanart, fan translations, audio books and the like - you can reach it directly by clicking this link. I have a patreon account for those kind people that want to give me money. It also contains info for those who want to donate via paypal. The story was originally posted on fictionpress, back in 2011. When I reached chapter 91, I started uploading the story to RoyalRoad, one chapter per day. The story will continue to be updated on fictionpress as well as here, and can be reached by clicking on this link if somebody is interested, though at this point there is nothing there that isn't also on RoyalRoad. ********************************** The cover you see on the side has been made by a fellow RoyalRoad user Sydorow.

Blightbane
Miscellaneous Notes: - I want to see about making a crude map of Shroud to help readers. - I also want to get back to writing Coalescence updates. Schedule Notes: - None for now, updates when I can. [ Thank you for your patience and support as I improve my writing and storytelling abilities. I'm also using this story to better develop lore that extends far beyond it. ] Thanks to another exceptionally talented artist, Hiroeth, Blightbane now has an official cover! Vera was alone again. “You’re completely unprepared. Never before has sending one of you off made me feel quite so guilty.” Whenever she found herself in doubt, she would weigh her actions against the guiding principles of the one whom she revered. “When you don’t know the rules of the game, start making them up. When you are constrained by unfavorable conditions, inject a little chaos.” It was the supplementary message that concerned Vera the most. It was difficult to follow because it was intentionally vague and mired in subjectivity. “How can I enjoy myself when you look so tormented? Are we in danger?” Vera fell silent. An experiment is taking place on a planetary scale. Across the surface of the planet, a phenomenon referred to as "Blight" is spreading. Festering regions defended by fierce creatures called “blightbeasts” taint the surface, warping the land and proliferating unceasingly. Among the sentient creatures of the planet, it is the Blightbane Guild’s responsibility to stem the tide. They endeavor to cleanse the land in a struggle of attrition, but they are losing ground. A young man named Caim has been uprooted from his former life and transported to The Shrouded Theocracy, an isolationist nation with fanatical policies. He must struggle to survive with only an unfamiliar strain of magic to aid him. There is a secret to this magic. One he knows very little about. He intends to explore just what makes this magic special. On the far border of the theocracy, a mage scientist named Inis discovers a revolutionary new way to infuse strength from defeated blightbeasts. Using herself as a test subject, this process allows her to grasp magical concepts previously thought beyond her reach. Though she tries to document any side effects that arise, something escapes her awareness. She is playing with a dangerous force that will claim her most treasured asset if she isn't careful. Everyone and everything on the planet is a part of the experiment. The experiment is a lie.

Lesser Evil
In a perfect world, an alcoholic, hedonistic, mentally abusive individual like Audry Forge would never coincide with his attempts to stop the extinction of life. But there is no perfect world. There is no other person. Only the lesser of evils. Participant of the Royal Road Writathon challenge - 55k words Author's Note: This is story has been the easiest to write in my time of writing. I thoroughly enjoy it! You may not understand the premise in the first few chapters but need not worry buddy, I've been working ahead. Things will start rolling! I hope you enjoy it. Give me feedback and make sure to share it around! Other Info: Normally I wouldn't put any warnings but this story will be going down a pretty dark path (based on irl experiences) fairly early on. There will not be any overtly sexual content this early but some themes are suggestive. There is profanity. There are references to drugs and alcohol. There are dramatic relationships that I'm trying to base off of real life. There is more of a focus on characters. There will be unpleasant scenes in regards to death, while others will be brushed over. There will also be a fair amount of pop culture references too! Give it a try. You might like my form of storytelling!

Twoen
The struggle for an interesting game has been the story of my life for quite some time. Every game I find is either too easy, not interesting or too short. Luckily, my two brothers who match my level of skill, albeit in different areas, tend to spice things up. When I look at my older brother I have no idea how he gets anything done when he's such an idiot. Still it doesn't detract from my respect for him as a gamer, though maybe a little. When I look at my younger brother I marvel at the monster that my older brother and I created. Deadliness, craftiness and quiet, both in what he does and how he is. When it's just us three we tend to destory everything in our path. So normally we tend to compete rather than team. Although that isn't to say we're just good as individuals. When we work together our effectiveness multiplies rather than lowering. Well enough about us dorks. Anyway a new VR game came out, apparently in development for quite some time. Of course my older brother decided to drive out and buy three copies. What would this one be missing? Difficulty? Depth? Length? In any case I plan to reach the top before my brothers do. It was a competition after all. Twoen had all three things I normally yearn for in spades. Something I did not foresee. A keeper
