This Stranger Story Is a Bit Chilly
Transmigrating into Hawkins, the peculiar town from Stranger Things, I became Jonathan Byers, Will’s older brother. This land of America is far too perilous—everywhere, horror stories unfold, and even the sweet air is thick with evil forces. The neighboring town is called Silent Hill, where a certain street named Oak Street houses the infamous Overlook Hotel, and it's said that deep in the woods nearby lies a cabin, the Cabin in the Woods. Legends speak of a fairy tale town hidden in the heart of the forest, inhabited by vampires and werewolves, while Jason and Voldemort lurk beyond its borders. Demons from hell occasionally invade the world, and aliens never rest, always choosing Independence Day to stir up trouble. Then there’s the Director of the Universe, Comrade Thanos, who is never content until he snaps his fingers and reduces half the world to dust—if luck isn’t on your side, you might just vanish into ash. Fortunately, I carry with me a DNF game system, becoming a professional exorcist and assembling an alliance of demon slayers. Together we gather Constantine the Hellblazer, Johnny the Ghost Rider, Van Helsing the monster hunter, Nick the Grimm, and the Ancient One, Supreme Sorcerer.

Lin Xiao, a minor streamer on a certain fish platform, mainly broadcasted DNF—Dungeon & Fighter. Unlike the extravagant Baby Xu Xu, who spent lavishly to draw crowds of fans, Lin Xiao, who was perpetually broke, could only grind hard as a ‘liver emperor’ in hopes of gaining attention.
Recently, after Baby Xu Xu succeeded in enhancing a +16 Galactic Annihilator, causing quite a stir, Lin Xiao decided to push for a +17 version, thinking it might help him attract more followers.
After grinding for seven days and nights, he finally gathered three +16 Galactic Annihilators. Luck was on his side; after two failures, the third attempt produced a +17 Galactic Annihilator. The chat exploded with gifts and rows of “666,” with viewers calling their friends to join the spectacle.
He was on the verge of a breakout when someone egged him on to try for +18. If he succeeded, he’d have the only one in the entire server—a guaranteed fame magnet.
