【Welcome to the “Happy Home” scenario.】

【Survive for seven days to clear the game.】

【Initial players: 30 | Current survivors: 30】

【We wish all players an enjoyable experience~】

After dying in a car crash, a flash of white light brought me to a tall building. A strange mechanical voice echoed in my ears.

Because I’m extremely nearsighted, everything beyond three meters is a blur. I couldn’t make out the building’s details or the faces of the people around me, just vague human shapes.

Somewhere nearby, a timid girl started crying. “W-Where are we? I want to go home.”

A guy with yellow-dyed hair shouted impatiently, “What the hell is this? Let me out!”

Then a man and a woman stepped forward, looking calmer than the rest. They introduced themselves as veteran players—Elaine and Jethro—and kindly explained what was going on.

We were inside an infinite horror game. Everyone here was already dead.

If we could survive every scenario and collect the legendary 9,999 points, we’d be revived.

The moment I heard “revive,” I jumped in. “So how many points do we get for finishing one round?”

Elaine sighed softly. “It depends on your Fear Value. If your score hits ninety-nine, you only earn one point. If it reaches one hundred… you die.”

As the name suggests, the Fear Value measures how scared you get.

Experienced players usually manage to keep it under sixty.

Newbies like us, though, usually don’t get that lucky.

I rubbed my chin and asked, “Then what if someone clears it with zero Fear Value? Would that mean a hundred points?”

The moment those words left my mouth, my entire feed was broadcast to a live audience. The chat instantly lit up with mocking comments:

【This rookie’s full of herself! “Happy Home” might only be an S-rank scenario, but it’s so twisted no one’s ever beaten it!】

【Didn’t the top player from the Number One Guild die here? He made it to Day Six before getting wiped out.】

【They’re screwed. Only two veterans this time—Elaine and Jethro—and even together they’re not half as good as that guy. Total party wipe incoming.】

Before long, it was time to choose rooms.

Elaine explained that while no one had ever cleared this scenario, past players had figured out a few things.

The building had thirty floors, one apartment per floor, and only one player could stay in each.

“Happy Home,” she continued, was actually a role-playing horror scenario.

Each apartment housed strange entities that would act as your family or loved ones.

So, seven days of living together with them? There was no way your Fear Value wouldn’t spike.

Before she could finish, Jethro grabbed her hand and quickly chose the first and second floors.

Seeing that, the rest of the players caught on fast. Everyone scrambled to claim the lowest floors.
