[Name: Sister-Slaying Blade]
[Type: Skill (Blade Technique)]
[Effect 1: Quick-Draw Decapitation!] Charge for 1 second and draw the blade! The first hit on a female NPC or female opponent deals true damage equal to 20% of their max HP.
[Effect 2: Passive, Aura of Fear!] After drawing blood with the first strike, activates the passive ability. The injured female opponent will experience persistent fear hallucinations, weakening combat abilities over time (more imaginative or trauma-affected targets suffer even stronger effects).
[Usage: Permanently Unlocked]
[Learning Conditions: Blade Domain Unlocked; Spirit Domain Unlocked]
[Usage Requirements: A solid, sheathed blade in hand]
[Cost: 100% Spirit Energy]
[Note: With no woman in your heart, your blade strikes as nature intended! First lesson—eliminate the love in your heart!]
Luo Shu almost wanted to laugh; the skill seemed blatantly sexist! But knowing how offbeat Horror Game could be, female players likely had their own, possibly similar, skills—like "Castration Curse," "Man-Slaying Blade," or even "Male Pregnancy Spell."
Looking past the oddities, Luo Shu was thrilled by the skill's immense power. It bypassed all armor and defensive abilities with true damage while inflicting terrifying hallucinations, especially potent against female opponents. The two effects combined into a killer combo!
While the skill was specific, that didn't matter; Forbidden Technique: Spirit Fusion was even more niche, and who knew if he'd ever again encounter a cooperative spirit. But the odds of fighting female NPCs or enemies? Quite high. Besides, the skill hints implied future opportunities for PvP encounters.
Regarding the Spirit Energy requirement, Luo Shu reviewed the explanation he'd unlocked in the last mission:
[Spirit Energy: A key resource for using most 'Magic Domain' and some other domain skills. Initial value is low but increases with level-ups and can also grow permanently through skill mastery, biological modification, master-level training, and more. Spirit Energy gradually regenerates over time.]
Spirit Energy seemed akin to martial arts Qi, cultivation True Essence, or the fixed mana or battle aura in fantasy settings.
Thinking through his combat options, Luo Shu saw Spirit Energy as a critical asset, but since he had no other energy-based skills, the one-time cost of this ability seemed manageable. With a realist's resolve, he learned the skill immediately.
With everything settled, Luo Shu opened his profile to check his progress:
[Username: Luo Shu]
[User Level: Lv2]
[Current XP: 15/200]
[Fans: 3,237]
[Game Coins: 279]
[Unlocked Domains: 9/10]
[Equipment (2/10): Brain Surgery Knife; Hoverboard]
[Items (1/50): BT Suppressant-Infused Blood]
[Skills (2/10): Forbidden Technique: Spirit Fusion; Sister-Slaying Blade]
Looking it over, he muttered, "Items aside, both the Equipment and Skills slots cap at ten. I'll max out fast… No storage options yet, so what do I do if they're full? Tossing anything would be a waste."
Per the game rules, items could be used up and equipment could degrade, but nothing could be permanently discarded. Even if he lost something mid-mission, it would return to his inventory afterward.
Recalling the player market that unlocked at level 5, he figured excess items might be tradable later.
With time to spare, he browsed the in-game store. Although there was plenty to buy with his coins, Luo Shu only picked up a Cantonese meal for a single coin, saving the rest for when he hit level 5.
Satisfied, he ate while mentally reviewing game rules to prepare for the next round of Horror Game.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, Luo Shu was already gaining loyal followers. Fans had even begun editing video clips from his recent missions, splicing moments from his beginner mission and haunted house mission together.
Many Horror Game fans on social media saw the viral clip.
It started with a blood-smeared glass door. Suddenly—a monstrous figure smashed against it! A man with a mutilated face, hollow nasal cavities, and feline-like mouth, his head sewn with ram's horns, pressed against the glass. His lower half was a mass of tentacles, suction-cupped to the door and writhing in eerie contortions.
The camera cut to Luo Shu's expression.
At first startled, his face quickly softened into a look of admiration, a faint smile crossing his lips as he murmured, "What a beautifully crafted creature…"
At that moment, a soft pink filter washed over the screen, and a catchy background tune began:
"This feeling... it's love~ I can't avoid your gaze~ My heart's racing uncontrollably~"
