All Chapters of Horror Game With My Cheating Ex: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The manor’s main doors creaked open.It was even creepier inside.A rusted chandelier swayed overhead. Cobwebs clung to the banisters like shredded veils. The air was thick with the smell of rot and decay.At least, that’s what everyone else said.I couldn't smell a thing."Alright, listen up," Chloe announced, taking charge. "As an experienced player, I'll give you the rundown."Marcus frowned. "When did you become experienced? Weren't you just saying you were a novice?""I did my homework," Chloe said with a wink. "This manor has four floors. The first floor is relatively safe, home to some of the gentler spirits. The second is a bit more dangerous, and the third is pretty terrifying.""What about the fourth floor?" the guy in glasses asked.Chloe's expression turned serious. "The attic suite. It's home to the most terrifying entity in this manor. No player has ever survived a single night in that room."A collective gasp went through the crowd."So," Chloe continued, "I suggest ever

"Interesting."The voice was a deep, emotionless rumble. It sliced through the silence like a scythe. Death had arrived."The first time in decades a human has managed to quiet the little water wraith."Lily shot up, standing in front of me.A moment ago, she was a little girl in need of protection. Now, she was like a small animal defending its young."Don't you hurt my sister!" She spread her arms, black liquid pouring from her eyes. "Kael, this is my sister!""Yours?" The voice was filled with scorn. "A mortal about to die is worthy of being your sister?"Tendrils of shadow shot out from the darkness, easily sweeping Lily aside.She slammed into the wall with a pained groan."Stop it!"I immediately rushed forward to confront him, but my foot slipped and I lost my balance.As I fell, my hands shot out instinctively, landing on something.His chest.It was cold and hard, but a warm crack glowed with a faint light.I looked up.To my eyes, he was a tall man, maybe six-foot-three.He w

The kitchen was in the deepest part of the first floor.Moonlight streamed through the grimy windows, casting mottled shadows on the floor.The air was thick with the faint smell of blood and rust. But to me, it just smelled like any other old kitchen. Which is to say, it smelled like nothing at all.I opened the fridge. It was empty."Looks like we'll have to go shopping in town tomorrow," I said, closing the door. "What do you usually eat?"Kael was silent for a moment. "I don't require food.""Then what do you run on?""Negative emotions," his voice was quiet. "Fear. Despair. Anger."I nodded. "Oh. So you're an emotion recycler. Basically, a supernatural social worker."【Comment 1: A social worker??? Sweetie, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about what 'devouring soul echoes' means?】【Comment 2: Can't she see it? As Kael talks, the lingering resentment from players who died in fear is getting sucked into his body like black smoke!】【Comment 3: That's not recycling! That's

A mountain of a man filled the doorway. He had to be seven feet tall.His flesh had melted into his firefighter's uniform, the two fused together. You couldn't tell where man ended and fabric began.He was charred black, his skin like cracked charcoal. A hellish, molten-red light pulsed from a thousand cracks in his skin.His helmet was fused to his skull.Every breath he took was a puff of black smoke and sparks. The air grew scorching hot. Hot enough to set paper aflame.He left scorching, smoking footprints on the floor with every step.Lily and Kael both took a step back.【WARNING: S-Rank Boss, ‘The Ashen Revenant,’ has appeared. He was burned alive in a fire. He hates all living things. His ‘Flames of Retribution’ can burn even the soul to ash.】But I smelled nothing. Felt no heat.To me, he just looked like some poor chimney sweep after a very, very bad day."Oh my God!" I rushed over. "Your boss is a monster! Don't they even give you decent safety gear?"The revenant froze. For

On the third night, there were only four players left.【GAME ALERT: Player Sarah has been eliminated.】I was brushing Lily's hair when I heard the news and just gave a small nod."Another one gone.""Aren't you scared?" Lily asked curiously. "Everyone else is dead.""Scared of what?" I continued to brush her hair. "We're doing great, aren't we?"Kael, standing by the window, suddenly spoke. "Someone is watching us."I followed his gaze.Down in the garden, a figure was hiding behind a tree, secretly looking up at our window.It was Ethan.He'd been standing there for three hours."He shows up every day," Pops snorted. "Stands out there like a stray dog begging for scraps.""Don't say that," I said, putting the brush down. "Dogs are way more loyal than him."Kael's shadows flared for a moment, clearly annoyed at the mention of Ethan."Want me to make him leave?""No need," I shook my head. "If he wants to watch, let him. It's not like he can see anything important."But Ethan's behavior
