All Chapters of Surviving The 13 Forbidden Rules of The Aquarium: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!The alarm clock blared in a small rental room in the heart of Bangkok. Gawin rolled over, fumbling for his smartphone under his pillow. His still-heavy eyes scanned the room, which was littered with books on local folklore, documentaries about the occult, and ancient maps."Morning already?" he mumbled to himself, pushing himself up from the bed. The blanket lay in a tangled heap at the foot of his bed, an unsolved labyrinth.Today wasn't just an ordinary day for Gawin, a third-year archaeology student. On the nightstand, a pitch-black envelope rested. Its front was adorned with a complex, luminous wave pattern, like a light from the deep sea. It was the mysterious invitation he had received two days ago: "A Special Event for the Chosen" with a promise of "a priceless reward." The message didn't intrigue Gawin as much as the venue clearly stated on the card: The Triton Aquarium.That abandoned aquarium was an urban legend that Gawin had been obsessed with since child

Ploy’s scream still echoed in everyone's ears. The strange burn on her palm was clear evidence that the 13 rules were no joke and that violating them led to truly horrifying consequences. The atmosphere within the Triton Aquarium became even colder and tenser."Ploy! Are you okay?!" Gawin quickly helped Ploy, who had collapsed to the ground in pain.Ploy’s face was pale, and her eyes welled up with tears. "It's so hot, Gawin... it feels like something is burning itself into my hand." Her voice was trembling.Praewa rushed to check on Ploy. She examined the burn, which looked like a seal or a brand, in shock. "It's not just a regular burn. It looks like... it's alive," Praewa murmured.James, who had been skeptical and frustrated just moments ago, now stood motionless, paralyzed. His eyes were wide, fixed on Ploy's hand.He was the first to violate this rule without anyone knowing, and what happened to Ploy was a clear reflection of the consequences he had already endured. He recalled t

After successfully escaping the submarine tunnel filled with crazed fish, everyone stopped to rest in a wide hallway. Though they had escaped the immediate danger, the air was still thick with fear. The lights in the corridor were slightly brighter than the previous zone, revealing several diverging paths leading into the darkness ahead.James, exhausted from trying to run, lay motionless on the floor. He seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. The others were in similar states, panting and looking weary, with sweat beading on their bodies. Ploy sat huddled next to James, her face still pale. The burn mark on her palm was still a deep red and seemed slightly more pronounced. Praewa, noticing a thin layer of reddish mucus mixed with blood seeping from the burn, immediately used a small handkerchief to wipe it away."What is this reddish mucus?""I don't know. It's not even blood," Ploy added."Has it been like this for long?""I'm not sure, but it seems to happen whenever something...

An eerie silence returned to the deep-sea zone after Boom's disappearance. Only the sound of flowing water and the breaths of the remaining survivors could be heard. The aquarium's mocking laughter still echoed in everyone's ears, as if reinforcing their endless despair. The group stood frozen for a long moment, without a future in sight. They all stared at the spot where Boom had been, their eyes wide with shock and terror. His complete vanishing made them realize that the rules didn't just harm their bodies or minds—they could truly erase their existence from this world."This is so scary," Ploy said in a trembling voice. Her eyes were red from tears. The hand with the faintly glowing seal-like mark was still shaking. It was now beginning to feel a little bit painful.Praewa put her arm around Ploy, trying to comfort her. She, too, felt numb all over. The fear she had felt before couldn't compare to the emptiness left by Boom's disappearance. "This is beyond our comprehension now."G

The terrifying transformation of Fah, who began talking to another version of herself and not recognizing her own identity, plunged everyone into a deeper fear. The dim light from the fish tanks in the corridor continued to shine on their faces, revealing eyes full of panic and despair. The fear of the Triton Aquarium's rules grew with every moment, every second, every breath, because it wasn't just taking their lives—it was changing them into something that was no longer human.Gawin held Fah's unconscious body. He tried to call her name again, but Fah didn't respond. Her eyes were distant and filled with mystery, as if something had taken over. "Fah... you have to come back," Gawin murmured, his voice full of pain. He couldn't help but worry about Boom, who had vanished. Even though he didn't always like Boom's attitude, as a fellow human, he didn't want Boom to face such a cruel fate. And what about James, who was now empty, and Miki, who had lost her hearing? "I want to get everyon
