Zhou Fangdong was driving on the highway when he collided with a truck traveling in the wrong direction and died instantly.

Fortunately, he was resurrected by a real estate management game system in a parallel world, inheriting two buildings from a deceased distant relative.

Unfortunately, this parallel world was a supernatural one overrun by ghosts, and his inheritance consisted of two haunted buildings filled with spirits.

Worse still, due to insufficient system energy, his resurrection was incomplete. Whenever he left the two buildings, his body would revert to the state it was in at the moment of the car accident, and he would die again.

To fully come back to life, Zhou Fangdong needed to rent out every room in the two haunted buildings according to the system’s instructions.

However, even more unfortunately, the system he was bound to seemed to be an artificially mentally challenged entity, completely incapable of proper communication.

Only half an hour after his resurrection, Zhou Fangdong was already on the verge of insanity.

“System, open the door. I need to go out.”

[Beep—A vengeful ghost has been detected lingering outside the door. If the host exits, the mortality rate is 90%. Forced activation of newbie protection measures. Door locked. Exit prohibited.]

“Okay, then I won’t go out.”

[Beep—Please perform Newbie Guide Task ①: Leave the birthplace [Landlord’s Room], patrol the first floor, and find a room available for rent.]

“Then open the door for me.”

[Beep—A vengeful ghost has been detected lingering outside the door. If the host exits, the mortality rate is 90%. Forced activation of newbie protection measures. Door locked. Exit prohibited.]

This repetitive exchange occurred dozens of times, pushing Zhou Fangdong to the brink of collapse.

In truth, he did not absolutely need to go out. However, if he remained motionless for more than three minutes, the cursed system would begin frantically beeping inside his mind, urging him to complete the newbie guidance task.

It refused to open the door and refused to stop issuing the task.

If this system had a physical body, Zhou Fangdong would have punched it several times to clear out its bug-filled program.
