Kaidan (Kaidan refers to eerie tales of strange, mysterious, rare, or bewitching ghosts and monsters from Japanese folklore.) feed on cognition, wield information as weapons, and use information as currency, existing between the peculiarities of neither life nor death.
They exist in human rumors and dwell in the shadows of the world.
"Does this mean I will become a Kaidan?"
In ancient times, they were worshipped as deities, empowered by faith.
"Then I am a deity!"
In more recent ancient times, they were regarded as demons and fed on fear.
"I will become the master of Kaidan!"
However, as the tides of time washed over, they gradually vanished, leaving behind only texts considered to be delusions.
"To restore the glory of Kaidan is an undeniable duty of ours."
But you are not yet a Kaidan, hmm, nor a person.
"Well, becoming a Kaidan counts as success."

Master of Kaidan

Although from Feng Xue's era's perspective, it wasn't strange for girls to enjoy male-targeted harem literature or for men to read female-targeted Nantong Wen, the era Chen Xiyao lived in seemed a bit more ancient.


This could be seen from the style of the book's binding and its contents.


As a former practitioner, he could easily deduce the age of the book through the writing style, the descriptions of certain events, and the common phrases and jokes used.


He had only casually flipped through a few pages when he saw a plethora of terms like Jade Pillar and White Rabbit, almost definitely confirming that this was a piece from the early days of web fiction.


Of course, considering that the development history of web-fiction in Chen Xiyao's world might differ from his own, he hadn't made a definitive judgment. However, given Chen Xiyao's embarrassed demeanor, it seemed that Yan Country also wouldn't ignore the exaggerated plots found in web novels.
