Help! My Boyfriend's the Endgame Boss!

On Valentine's Day, I told my boyfriend, Cyrus Medford, that I wanted to break up with him because he's often not at home. He even told me that he was a monster in a survival game and needed to return to the game occasionally just to punish the players.What a joke! As if anyone would believe such far-fetched lies!Let's not talk about the fact that survival games didn't exist in this world. There was absolutely no way monsters would develop an eight-pack, nor would they demand hugs and kisses from me every day and torment me in bed all the time.I sent Cyrus the break-up text, fully not expecting him to barge into my room in the middle of the night while completely drenched. He wasted no time in pinning me on my bed."Honey, please don't break up with me!" Cyrus might sound pitiful, yet his hands began roaming up and down my body. He was quick to grab me by my waist, his shallow pants softly fanning across my neck. "I told you that I was on a mission. Next time, I'll get rid of

The village chief kept staring at us as he spoke. I could only avert my gaze before hurrying toward the rooms.His gaze seemed a little frightening. We could feel goosebumps crawling across our scalps. "Rest well. I'll see you all tomorrow."After that, he turned on his heel and headed toward a room. That should be his room."I think we should stick together," the muscular man suggested.Even though the village chief said they could stay in their own rooms, no one was brave enough to do so in such a spooky environment.Everyone immediately agreed to the suggestion. The woman and I would stay in one room while the remaining three men shared the other.Once we entered our room, the woman curled up on the bed while typing up a storm on her phone. I dug out my phone as well and tried to call Cyrus, hoping that he'd pick up.Of course, no one picked up the call.I tried to text him, only to realize there weren't any signals here."Who's the newbie calling? Don't tell me she doesn't

Those cold-looking features, that tall nose, as well as the visible mole… Yep, the man standing behind me was Cyrus alright!Elation washed over my senses instantly, chasing away the fear that had been plaguing me moments ago.Before I could ask Cyrus what he was doing here, the village chief had already entered the chapel. When he stepped into the chapel, he instantly reverted to his human form. His twisted expression was quickly replaced by one of utmost reverence when he laid eyes on Cyrus' face.The village chief approached Cyrus hurriedly before greeting him with a fawning smile. "Sire, you're here."Sire?I looked at Cyrus in surprise. He had already skirted past me at that time."Have you prepared the offerings?" he asked icily."We're in the middle of the preparations, " the village chief said immediately, looking at Martin and me. They're the offerings I've prepared for the Sea God."Cyrus' gaze fell on us at that moment. That was when I felt that something was wrong

Cyrus even told me that the best way to win against fear was to face fear itself."Then, let's put on a lovey-dovey performance in front of the village chief later," Martin suggested.I hesitated when I thought about Cyrus. "We'll cross that bridge when the time comes."I saw the village chief walking over to us then, so I quickly returned to my room. That night, Yvette never came back. I sat on the bed while reading the comments that streaked across my eyes."Why did Yvette visit the chapel as well?""She must've seen Arabella trying to befriend the NPC. Is she trying to copy Arabella's tactic?""Didn't Yvette seduce Henry last time? She's planning to play both sides, huh?""A player can never compete against an NPC, after all. Look, she even took off her jacket!"My mind went blank at that moment. How dared Yvette strip in front of Cyrus!At that moment, white-hot rage was quick to overwhelm my fear. I stood up instantly, ready to burst out of my room.The moment I reac

Then, Martin turned to flee from the beach.Meanwhile, I crashed into the sea. Water surrounded me almost immediately.All I had was one thought—I'd be dying here.But I felt that something was off the next moment. The water didn't gush into my nose and mouth. Instead, it felt like a pair of large, soft hands that kept caressing my body gently.The familiar feeling made me shudder instantly."Cyrus?"I could see Cyrus' face starting to take shape in the water. Tentacles appeared around him. They landed on my face and waist before coiling around me tightly.This was supposed to be a horrifying visage, but I didn't feel any fear when I saw Cyrus' face.Suddenly, a blood-curdling shriek drifted from above my head. I looked up to see Martin free-falling into the sea. It appeared that a tentacle had coiled around his waist and was in the midst of dragging him down.The bright red tuxedo flashed across my eyes. Only then did I realize why it looked so familiar in the first place.
