Chapter 1

【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 rev

Chapter 2

Because I couldn’t see clearly, I couldn’t outrun anyone, so I had to wait until everyone else picked their rooms.In the end, only the thirtieth floor was left for me.Since I was practically blind, the live chat went off again:【She’s so dead. Everyone knows the higher the floor, the stronger the boss.】【Especially the thirtieth floor—it’s all top-level bosses. They call it the House of Death.】When I reached the thirtieth floor, I looked around. Honestly, it didn’t seem that different from a normal apartment. The only differences were the stronger smell of blood, the red walls, the cold air, and the dim lights.Besides, it was a huge apartment, and supposedly, the “family” I’d always dreamed of having was waiting inside.You have to understand, in real life I’m not only severely nearsighted, but also an orphan and broke on top of that!I walked straight to the door, raised my hand, banged on it hard, and yelled, “Open up! Baby, I’m home! If you don’t open the door, I’m gonna

Chapter 3

Her voice was soft and sweet as she whispered, “Thank you, Mommy.”Huh? Mommy?I… became a mom just like that?Holy crap, this is insane.You have to understand, in real life, I’ve heard way too many horror stories about women dying during childbirth. I’ve always dreamed of having a family, sure… But giving birth? That’s my biggest fear.After coaxing the little girl to take a nap, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in my ear:【Initial players: 30 | Current survivors: 20】What? Ten people were already dead? Just from choosing rooms?I grabbed my phone, held it right up to my face, and barely managed to make out the text on the screen. It was the player chat group, where everyone was frantically sharing what they’d learned, mainly how people had died.Apparently, the hot-tempered blond guy and three others fought over the third floor. The blond guy barely won and moved in. But the moment he knocked on the door, a creature with a human body and a dog’s head stepped out. Its jaws

“Lily’s my little sweetheart, and you’re my big one. We’re one happy family now.”I gave him my best smile. “Actually, um, honey, you’ve got a great body, but… why do you look kinda short? Don’t worry though. Now that I’m here, I’ll cook for you both every day. Soon, you and our daughter will be tall and strong!”The live chat went absolutely wild.【What the hell is she saying? How does she dare talk like that to the Headless Boss?】【Finally! The infamous Headless Boss. He’s supposed to be the strongest one in the Happy Home scenario. The top player last time died fighting him.】【Wait… why does the Boss look like he’s blushing? No way, did she just fluster him?】【You’re down bad, man.】Everyone in the stream was waiting for him to snap my neck like he’d done to every other player before.But instead, he calmly lifted the severed head he’d been holding and placed it back onto his neck. Then he leaned in, his cold, dangerous aura fading a little, his voice suddenly carrying a hin

Chapter 5

In the end, we split up to do our own thing.I was in the kitchen washing his hair, humming a tune as I washed.The live chat was horrified by the scene.【Seriously, they’re made for each other. Only a complete lunatic would act this calm while washing a ghost’s head.】They didn’t understand that, for someone as nearsighted as me, it just felt like washing a large, fuzzy, black watermelon.Then the “watermelon” spoke. “You seem to be in a good mood.”“Of course,” I said honestly. “I think I’m getting along really well with you and your daughter. I’m sure I’ll clear this scenario with no problem.”The watermelon grinned, his sharp, handsome features twisting in a strange smile. “You will, Nina.”I gazed back at him gently, though to be fair, I couldn’t actually see him clearly. “By the way, I never asked your name.”The “watermelon,” or rather the headless boss, suddenly lifted off my hands. His head flew across the room and attached seamlessly to the body that had just stepped

Chapter 6

No one knew what those two had gone through, but their Fear Values shot straight to 100 and that was the end of them.Just then, I got a private message from Elaine.【Nina, are you okay? I was dealing with the entity on the second floor all night and didn’t have time to warn you. You need to focus on bonding with your “family” during the first three days. I watched the top player’s previous livestream, and this is everything I know. Consider it compensation for not telling you the room rules earlier, that’s how you ended up on the 30th floor.】Elaine also shared tips in the group chat, patiently answering questions from the other new players. Jethro popped in once in a while just to complain.【Why are you helping them? You’re too soft. Helping these newbies won’t do us any good.】Elaine replied calmly: 【We’re all stuck here together. There’s no need to be selfish.】Because of that, every surviving player felt deeply grateful toward her.These two veteran players were… interestin

Chapter 7

I quickly grabbed the charcoal woman’s burnt hand and tugged it gently, concern in my voice. “Ma’am, your skin’s so dry. I made a cucumber mask earlier, want to try it?”She froze mid-rant, then stammered, “Ah… o-okay.”Of course, what woman doesn’t want to look better? When I actually brought out a bowl of sliced cucumber and started applying the mask, the old man wasn’t pleased.“You wicked hag,” he snarled. “Weren’t you supposed to scare off the new daughter-in-law?”I stared at the Headless Boss and shrugged. “So you had a previous wife, huh?”His face fell. Black smoke curled from him as he nonchalantly unscrewed the charcoal woman’s skull and tossed it aside.He gave me a crooked, half-guilty smile. “No, she never came in. Lily killed them.”The charcoal woman awkwardly screwed her head back on, patted the cucumber on her face, and fixed the old man with a deathly glare. “You blabby old fool. Go cook.”He shut up right away, dragging the burlap sack and the spill of int

“Downstairs?” I repeated, frowning. “What else could be down there besides dead players?”I immediately dropped my utensils, covered my stomach dramatically, and gagged. Then I leaned weakly against the Headless Boss.“Ugh, I can’t eat meat. Must’ve been too much passion last night… I think I’m pregnant.”Lily looked absolutely thrilled, like she was watching the best show of her life.The old man with the intestines and the charcoal-skinned old lady both gasped in delight, shouting for their son to take me to the room to rest.The Headless Boss’s face turned crimson. He scooped me up awkwardly and hissed in my ear, “Y-you’re talking nonsense! We didn’t even…”Too pure. He couldn’t even say ‘have sex.’I slumped against his chest, my hand brushing across his abs as I murmured, “It’s fine. If you want, we can fix that right now.”The chat erupted.【Nina, you shameless woman!】【Do I really get to watch this for free?】【Honestly though, they’re perfect together! He’s dark and b

Chapter 9

I jumped out of bed in a panic and shouted,“Stop it! Don’t fight! Please, don’t fight!Fine, I’ll just sleep with both of you, okay?”And just like that, the first three days passed in one piece.According to the system’s live report, only twelve players were still alive.That night, I got a private message from Elaine:【Nina, starting tomorrow, you’ll need to visit your neighbors. Rumor has it that only by visiting every entity on all thirty floors can you unlock the full building and maybe trigger the final clue to clear the game.You’re on the hardest floor—the thirtieth—so you have to help everyone by visiting the entities there. Don’t worry, the surviving players will help too, visiting their own “families” to support you.It’s a shame. The last top player died on Day Six, killed by the Headless Boss during his visit. No one knows what happens on Day Seven.】Her message was full of concern and hints of information. I stretched lazily and replied with total calm:【Thanks. Of

Chapter 10

Maybe because she was scared, Lily’s own white dress and the one in her hands both turned blood red in an instant.She tossed the red dress at me, and it flew straight onto my body, resizing itself perfectly to fit me like it was tailor-made.Lily wrapped her arms around my waist, rubbing her cheek against me, her face full of affection.“Mommy, this is the dress I was wearing when I died. If you wear it, it’ll protect you.”The mechanical voice chimed again:【Congratulations, player. You have obtained an SSSS-rank item: “Angel’s Dress.”】Before I could even get emotional, the intestine grandpa grabbed at the “sweater” I’d just finished sewing for him, tore it open at the belly, and dug around inside. He pulled out a tangled ball of… yarn and handed it to me solemnly as a self-defense tool.The mechanical voice spoke again:【Congratulations, player. You have obtained an SSS-rank item: “Magnanimous Guts.”】Right after that, the charcoal grandma yanked off one of her charred arms
