Chapter 14 (2/2)
As the competition was conducted anonymously and the entries submitted were all pseudonyms, it would be difficult to identify them.
Thus, Sherry specially added this mentor mechanism.
This allowed the novels produced in each competition to be traced back to the original author. Of course, this was only one aspect. More importantly, Sherry had hidden her motives in this competition.
She wanted to find out what was going on with this Chinese boy named Fang Yuan.
Would he be able to live up to his famous reputation?
“Alright, that’s all for the rules! We’ve arrived at the hotel, so please go to the front desk to get your room number. After confirming with your mentor, you can start writing. Best of luck, everyone!”
..
Fang Yuan got his room number at the front desk. This writing competition was very new to him.
To him, since it was a writing competition, they could very well just write from home and hand in their manuscripts.
It was a little strange to gather everyone so that all writers would eat and stay in the same place, then get someone to keep an eye on them.
Many authors had already found their own mentors.
Fang Yuan also saw Hades and Sakazaka Rion in the crowd.
However, he was not worried about landing a mentor.
Instead, he was more focused on the concept of the novel.
Since the competition venue was right next to the cemetery, with the latter location as the theme of the location, one would assume that their works would be centered on horror or the supernatural.
Most of the authors would have written similar content.
They would have made it more thrilling and visually impactful by describing gory or eerie details.
Fang Yuan was not the type to read horror novels in his previous life.
Even if he were to recall his memory, he would not be able to find anything.
This path definitely would not work. Thinking about it carefully, Fang Yuan wondered if it was necessary for the cemetery theme to be a horror novel that was as scary as possible.
Since everyone would probably be writing horror novels, was there any other way to break the situation?
While Fang Yuan was pondering, he saw a beautiful woman in a white chiffon shirt walking towards him.
When they passed by the corridor, everyone who saw her nodded and greeted. “Hello, President Sherry.”
“Sherry…Sherry…Sherry Young?”
‘Sherry…’ Upon hearing her name, Fang Yuan soon made a series of connections.
He suddenly thought of the most suitable title.
Fang Yuan thought that he would be the contemporary successor of traditional tomb culture and the strange novels of the founder of Chinese tomb-robbing novels from his previous life.
‘I got it! “Candle in the Tomb” is most suitable!’
