Alle Kapitel von Horror Game, More Like a Family Reunion: Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 10

I was always sick as a kid. My parents were desperate. They’d try anything. So they got me a bunch of "guardian angels."Next thing I know, I'm set up and tossed into a horror game.Turns out, Medusa is my godmother. The ghost girl? My childhood playmate. And the final boss, a vampire? He's my fiancé.The first time we met, I was in a blind panic. I tripped and fell right onto his chiseled chest."Oh—I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking—" I gasped, looking up at him. The words tumbled out in a rush. "And you're really handsome—but I didn't mean to fall on you! I have a heart condition!"The boss let out a laugh. He wiped the blood from his hands and swept me up into his arms."Don't you worry," he purred, his voice dangerously smooth. "As your fiancé, I promise... I'll fix you right up."...[Nightmare Scenario: Midnight Manor... Activated][Survival Time: Seven Days][Current Players: 40/40][Death is Eternal Oblivion. Have Fun.]A robotic female voice echoed in the void. It sounded cheerfu

She finally recognized me. Her voice was barely a whisper, choked with a sob. "Sister Aurora... it's really you..."My heart swelled with a sweet ache. I was about to melt from the cuteness.The Lily I remembered from childhood used to follow me around like a shy little shadow, so sweet and adorable. I never thought that after all these years, she’d turn into a ghost and her cuteness level would actually double!This was, without a doubt, the best reunion ever!I settled Lily by the fireplace to get warm. Just then, the robotic voice sounded again:[Initial Players: 40; Survivors: 25.]Fifteen players. Dead already. And all they did was pick a room.I opened the system panel and squinted at the screen to read the small text.Players were swapping intel in the main channel, talking about how the others died.[Muscly_Tommy]: Holy shit! The werewolf on the third floor tore that football player to pieces! Blood all over the walls![Sister_Sarah]: Dear God... that poor boy, his insides wer

I woke up warm and safe, tucked between Lily and Damien. Sunlight was already streaming through the heavy curtains.I'd slept soundly, without a single dream.[System Broadcast: Initial Players: 40. Current Survivors: 18.]Another seven people were dead.My communicator lit up. It was a private message from Jessica.[Jessica]: Aurora, I'm so sorry... I was almost killed by that disgusting nurse last night. Thank goodness your... friend saved us.[Jessica]: I heard players have to start a "Pilgrimage" on day four to visit the residents on each floor for clues. I paid a lot of money to a top guild for this intel. Sharing it with you for free.[Jessica]: Remember, you need to build up enough trust with your "Guardian" in the first three days. It's really important!I politely replied with a thank you.I turned to look at the still-"sleeping" Lily. She was curled up in my arms, cute as a kitten.Damien was leaning against the window, his red eyes gazing into the distance.The morning light

The repair work took the entire afternoon.When night fell, Cassia and Gideon prepared a "feast" for me.The long, ancient table was set with exquisite silverware, glowing with candlelight.But when I saw the "food," a sharp pain shot through my chest.Crystal goblets were filled with deep red liquid, reeking of blood.Plates held raw, dripping meat, looking as if it had just been torn from some creature."What... is this?" I clutched my chest, my heart racing.At the same time, Damien, sitting across from me, also pressed a hand to his chest in pain.The scar beneath his white shirt glowed an ominous red, as if in resonance with my pain.Cassia proudly announced, "This is the freshest—"Before she could finish, Damien waved his hand.The blood on the table instantly transformed into golden fruit juice, and the raw meat became delicate pastries."So picky," he murmured, but his eyes were soft as they watched me.The live comments were still in shock.[That moment... they both felt pain

On the morning of the fourth day, I began the "Pilgrimage."Before I left, I went to the manor's abandoned library.It was filled with moldy books and broken furniture, and the air smelled of decaying paper.But on a shelf in the deepest corner, I found a special diary.The cover was dark brown leather, with "Book of Laments" embroidered in gold thread.I opened the first page and saw elegant handwriting."Here are recorded the stories of every soul in this manor, their pain, their despair, and their final wishes..."I carefully read each story.The twins on the 29th floor: murdered in their sleep by a jealous stepmother.The cosplayer girl on the 28th floor was viciously attacked online for her love of anime culture and eventually took her own life.The spirit on the 27th floor was a mother whose son had committed a school shooting. She was mocked by the media for her disheveled appearance while handling the aftermath...Each story was a fresh knife in my heart."I see..." I murmured,
