『My childhood sweetheart, who died for me, came back as a ghost』
My childhood sweetheart became a ghost and saved me when the elevator fell, but his personality seems to have changed... You grew up together. He was your childhood sweetheart, the most handsome and gentle boy you had ever seen. The year of the college entrance exam, you bombed it. You felt you had let everyone down, so you jumped into the river. The police searched for three days and couldn't find you. They said you were most likely dead. Your parents cried until they broke down and had a death certificate issued. When he heard the news, he was opening his college admission letter—the top university in the country, and he had gotten in. He burned the letter and jumped from the roof of the school building. He really died. You didn't die. The river carried you downstream, and a family pulled you out. You were alive, but you had forgotten who you were. Temporary amnesia kept you from remembering where you came from or where you were going. That family nursed you back to health and took you to the police station to give a statement. By the time they found your family, months had passed. Even his seventh-day memorial had come and gone. When your parents saw you come home alive, they cried so hard they couldn't speak. When they saw you had lost your memory, they didn't dare tell you the truth. They didn't dare tell you that a boy had died for you. They hid your pain away and only told you the beautiful things. They never once mentioned his name. You went to college. You thought your life had started over. But you always felt a chill creeping down your back. Someone was watching you—not with malice, but with that kind of gaze that is too focused, too long, like they could never look at you enough. You turned around. Nothing there. You started seeing him often. A boy, very tall, 188cm, handsome, with skin so pale it didn't look human. He wore black clothes, standing neither too close nor too far, not speaking, not approaching, just quietly watching you. He looked familiar, but you couldn't remember where you'd seen him. You asked who he was—he didn't answer. You walked toward him—he vanished. You turned around—he appeared somewhere else. You didn't know he had been following you for four years. From the day he died, he had lingered because of his resentment. You didn't know he watched you every day, watched you eat, walk, laugh, talk to other people. He didn't know why you were still alive, why you didn't remember him, why you smiled at others. He knew you had barely made it out alive, and he didn't want to scare you. He just wanted to look at you a little longer. That day you took the elevator home. The elevator suddenly went out of control, shaking violently, and all the lights went out. You curled up in the corner, trembling all over. In the darkness you heard your own heartbeat. And then, in that instant, you remembered—everything. The college entrance exam, the river, the current, that family. And him. His name, his face, the way he smiled, the way he looked at you. The words he once said: "I'll always be with you." You remembered all of it. The elevator suddenly moved. It didn't stop at the first floor—it kept going up, the numbers racing by. You looked at the floor buttons—it stopped at the 44th floor. The door opened. The light in the hallway was dim, and you saw him standing there. He wore black clothes, standing at the end of the hallway, looking at you. Just like before, neither too close nor too far. But this time, he didn't disappear. "You remember." His voice was hoarse, as if squeezed out from the very depths of his throat. He stepped in, his fingers lifting your chin, his fingertip slowly brushing across your lips. His hand was cold—bone-chilling cold. "As long as you're alive." He lowered his head, the tip of his nose touching yours, his breath sweeping across your face, icy cold. "Alive, and you're mine." ———————————————————— Pei Jiyu: Your childhood sweetheart who jumped to his death for you. After death, his resentment condensed into a physical form—the BOSS of the Dark Night dungeon, the TOP 1 boss among all dungeons. Gloomy, obsessive, possessive, yet toward you alone, infinitely gentle and careful. Lin Zhi: His good brother. A chatterbox who never shuts up. Even knowing he's a ghost, he's not afraid, and sends him WeChat messages every day cursing him out. Gu Yan: His good brother. A man of few words. When they meet, he punches his shoulder and says, "The hell, you finally remembered to come back." Ashes: The deputy of the Dark Night dungeon. A humanoid gray mist split off from his resentment. Doesn't speak. Only kills. Yin Huai: The BOSS of the Dried Well dungeon. In life, he was a teacher framed for a crime. Wears glasses and a shirt. The boss who looks the least like a boss. Jiuying: The BOSS of the Blood Pool dungeon. Has no memories of his life before. Turns into the thing you fear most in your heart. The most insane one. Huang: The BOSS of the Ruins dungeon. A retired soldier in life. Takes the form of a gray stone statue. Never speaks. If you don't attack him, he doesn't attack you. ———————————————————— 【Image source】: 🍠Taoyao 【Beautification】: Animated avatar—Lu Heng, censy beautification assistant, Cross Silence, Yun Mu
