I took a wary step back, then froze when I heard familiar voices.

"I'm here to help, tiny human! Where's the monster?"

"Ghost squad is here to fight!"

"Baby, where are you? I'm here, so don't be scared! I'll protect you!"

"Protecting humans is the duty of ghosts! Kill him!"

"Slither in darkness! Scream in madness! Rip them apart! Devour! Eat them all!"

The mass of black mist barreled around the office before it spotted the pool of rotting filth on the floor.

I barely had time to stop them before the ghosts gulped it down in one bite.

"...That'll probably lead to indigestion," I hesitantly murmured.

All the ghosts retched.

As the mass of black mist dispersed, the ghosts collapsed in a heap, and each vomited their own share.

I walked over to Erin and patted her back.

Her face had gone paper-white as she weakly looked up at me. She probably wanted to say something, but her hands were shaking so much that she couldn't even hold a pen.

"Actually… I can hear your thoughts, so ju

    The ghosts looked fully recharged, lounging around in small groups and staring at me with bright, expectant eyes.A cold, mechanical voice rang in my head. "Game completion reaches 100%. Congratulations on clearing the game, Player. You will be logged out in ten minutes."I froze and was utterly stunned that everything had gone by in just a brief blur. Though it was a horror game, it felt like I was just here working part-time.With a sigh, I put on my brightest smile. "Free hugs limited to one per ghost. Anyone?"After a round of hugging, head-pats, and shoulder squeezes, my arms were sore. I felt oddly embarrassed, like I'd just been sold off to a cat cafe for customer service. "Humans are really warm and squishy! I want one as a pillow!""So this is what a hug feels like… I'm gonna cry.""I knew humans were fluffy, but Jack and his shiny bald head insisted humans were smooth like him! Liar!""I'm offering big money to hire a human hugger! One hug a day keeps the doctor away

    As a result of Erin's death, Wyatt abandoned his initial plan and left me discarded in the car.When I woke up, I found myself lying in a hospital bed. Trauma and psychological factors had erased my memories.I went through the school transfer procedures, changed my name, and moved to another city with my parents. Like any other kid, I grew up, took the SAT, went to college, and lived a steady life all the way to the age of 23.It was only today that I was dragged back to the terrifying past.Since fate had brought me back here, I would end it all for good. This time, I'd never escape again.Tightening the grip on the fruit knife, I pushed open the office door and noticed the vase I once smashed standing perfect and untouched on the desk.Sure enough… Everything in the game world was looping, so the only way out was to end things where they began.Behind me, the lock clicked shut before Wyatt's footsteps drew closer."Peggy, I called you in today to discuss the details of your

    Every strange flicker of familiarity was finally explained.The dried blood on the female student's wrist seemed to travel across the years and pulsed with pain through the old scar on my own.Memories surged into my mind in waves, though they never asked if I wanted them back.I'd grown up living with my grandma while my parents worked overseas. Even when I was bullied, I was alone without protection or help.That was how Wyatt set his sights on me.He called me into his office alone and locked the door. But before he could lay his hands on me, I sensed that something was wrong.I grabbed a vase from his desk and smashed it over his head, bolting while he reeled in pain.Back then, I naively thought I'd won a battle and had no clue that it was just the beginning of my torture.…At Wyatt's signal, all sorts of trash began showing up on my desk, including used tissues, bottles, and food wrappers…My seat was turned into a garbage pit.My completed homework was torn up and du

    A chill crawled straight up my spine.After that day, the attendance log contained only Erin's increasingly panicked, distorted handwriting."Mr. Prescott, I saw Peggy hurting herself. What should I do? She could die."I did everything you asked. You promised my dad wouldn't lose his job."Mr. Prescott, Peggy's falling apart. Can we please stop now? I'm begging you."Later, large sections of the log were left blank. Only the last page recorded one final attendance note. Peggy dropped out, while Erin died in a car crash. Wyatt had used his authority to crush two helpless female students.Like fresh, bright, and barely blooming flowers, they were ground into the dirt by malice before they ever witnessed dawn or dusk.Hatred churned in my chest, so intense that it felt unbearable.…As I set the attendance log down, the sudden emotional drain left me feeling weak.Erin was still seated behind me, revived by the swarm of ghosts frantically shaking her awake, though I had my dou

    I examined the rope and ran it through my hands inch by inch. However, I found nothing unusual. Since the problem wasn't with the rope, it must be with the ghosts.I looked up and scanned the circle of ghosts sitting around me, including three hanging and 17 jumper ghosts, and one especially unusual ghost.Grimmie's injuries were catastrophic. She looked like she'd been hit by a car and repeatedly run over. Who would commit such insanity in a school? What exactly happened here that left students dying in every horrific way imaginable?Before I could connect the dots, Grimmie sat beside me. She finally seemed calmer now, and though her face was still flushed, at least she'd stopped rapping in her head.She brought me a new clue. It was a class attendance log, recording details of daily class matters.But the ghosts had searched every nook and cranny of the classroom looking for clues earlier… So why had the log only appeared now?Before I could probe, Grimmie grabbed a pen and b
