Bai Wan blinked at the new notification.
Huh…
Most people would give anything to earn even a single title, yet this one dungeon had handed him two at once. Counting the one he already had, that made three titles in total.
Curious, he continued reading.
[Kun Sect Intern]
Quality: Rare
Description: Performed the Kun’s Dance before more than fifty paranormal entities in one go, spreading the majestic glory of Kun Sect across the land. This title is hereby awarded.
Effect: The more ghosts present, the higher the chance of triggering Kun Flash. Wearing suspender overalls and a center-part hairstyle increases this probability.
This title may be actively activated once per dungeon—while active, Kun Flash trigger rate approaches 100%, lasting 5 minutes.
Note: Title Level 1. Can be upgraded to unlock additional Kun-style skills.
[Grave-Wrecker of Lan City]
Quality: Epic
Effect: While inside a graveyard, you have a chance to summon a meteor shower. The more tombstones destroyed, the higher the chance, area of effect, and destructive power.
Current Level: 2 (Two graveyards destroyed)
Meteor Shower Probability ×2
Range ×2
Power ×2
Bai Wan stared at the screen for a long moment.
Well then…
Kun Sect Intern and Grave-Wrecker of Lan City.
His list of weird titles just kept getting longer.
Still—the Kun Sect Intern title was surprisingly useful. Not only did it raise the odds of Kun Flash, it even had an active mode for guaranteed dodging. He imagined himself standing in a crowd of ghosts, smacking a basketball around, shoulder checking left and right like a possessed fish…
The image was too absurd to even think about.
But he couldn’t deny it—Kun Flash had worked. Even that terrifying Lin Yuan hadn’t been able to land a hit.
He’d originally danced just to be funny, planning to use his Bloody Bandage or Blood Husk Idol to stall for two seconds before exiting. But he’d actually triggered Kun Flash for real.
As for Grave-Wrecker of Lan City… Bai Wan could feel the system’s malice.
Seriously?
You’re playing me again, aren’t you?!
What was this supposed to do—encourage him to hunt down graveyards and make meteor wishes?
How romantic…
His face darkened. He opened his mouth and asked, “Hey, system…are these titles going to be displayed on the forums? Can I hide them?”
Even though Zhou Lu and Liu Tong had all treated him like family, he couldn’t help but imagine what would happen when they saw his bright, shiny title:
Grave-Wrecker of Lan City.
Would they still call him family…or give him a headstone of his own?
The system answered plainly: “You may hide the effects. Title names and descriptions are always visible.”
Bai Wan’s face twitched. “Hey! You didn’t tell me that with the last title!”
System: “Did you ask?”
Bai Wan: “So if I don’t ask, you don’t say?”
System: “You didn’t ask. Why should I say?”
Bai Wan: “If I have to ask everything, what’s the point of having a system?”
System: “If I have to tell you everything, what’s the point of having a player?”
System: “Dumbass.”
Bai Wan: “!@#$%^”
The two of them cursed each other in perfect sync.
Staring at the system’s smug, stingy behavior, Bai Wan was starting to fume.
Unbelievable. I went easy on your dungeon this time! I didn’t even blow it up! And this is how you thank me?
Fine. One day, I’ll glitch you AND your dungeons straight into oblivion.
Meanwhile, the system began quietly rearranging the dungeon list—pulling several highly dangerous ones out of cold storage.
Dumbass player… let’s see you dance your way out of these.
Bai Wan stopped wasting time on the petty system and turned his attention to his rewards. With an SSS rank, he’d earned two skill upgrade points—enough to enhance two of his bug abilities.
On top of that, he received one new skill slot. Which bug would be “blessed” next…?
He hadn’t allocated the points just yet. Instead, his attention shifted to the two items sitting on the desk:
A letter and a painting.
Both had come from The Letter dungeon—they had to be extraordinary.
He picked up the envelope first.
A system description appeared in his mind:
[Time Letter]
Category: Paranormal Artifact
Quality: Special Curse-grade
Effect: Allows the user to write a letter to themselves at any point during the past three days.
Does not consume Paranormal Coins.
Usable three times. Number of uses can be replenished (condition unknown).
Bai Wan stared at the item in amazement.
Writing to the past…and influencing the present. This was an insanely powerful survival tool. If he were ever trapped in a guaranteed death scenario, all he had to do was send a warning three days back. His past self could prepare in advance and break the cycle.
In short: three extra lives.
He didn’t yet know how to regain charges, but no matter what—this was a top-tier artifact.
No regrets clearing an unsolvable dungeon for this.
Next, he turned to the painting Lin Yuan had dropped—the one he’d earned through his “performance fee.”
It depicted a forest.
Let’s see what it could do…
[Painter’s Ordinary Artwork]
Category: Paranormal Artifact
Rarity: Special Blood-Grade
Abilities:
[World Inside the Painting] — Can materialize the painted forest into the real world, creating a temporary scene with a duration of 10 minutes.
In this area, all non-player entities have their movement speed halved. Over time, they will grow progressively slower.
(You may specify entities unaffected.)
Paranormal Coin Cost: 300
Limit: Once per dungeon.
Bai Wan read it twice carefully.
So he could summon the forest into reality—slowing down enemies inside. Most likely, it was meant for escaping. If he was ever being chased, he could drop the forest and leave the enemies stuck in slow motion.
Very useful.
He looked over all his loot with deep satisfaction.
Two powerful paranormal artifacts, one Awakening Crystal Shard, the Desolate Village dungeon ticket, a rare recipe scroll… and 2,800 Paranormal Coins.
For an unsolvable dungeon clear, this was absolutely worth it.
He glanced at his sister in the painting. Bai Xi was wearing a dopey smile—clearly she’d earned something nice too.
After enjoying the view of his spoils, Bai Wan finally opened his skill menu. With two upgrade points and one skill slot, he could boost two existing abilities and learn a new one.
He was more than a little excited.
And while Bai Wan was happily upgrading his skills…
The forums exploded.
That afternoon, the long-quiet Paranormal Game forum suddenly posted a short, plain announcement:
[Dungeon: The Letter — CLEARED.]
