Chapter 1

A mechanical voice sounded, "Welcome to the Family of Four game instance. Please play your role as "Mom.""Clear condition: Survive 10 days and safely board the plane back to the real world. Players: 100. Survivors: 100."Your real-world body is currently in a vegetative state. Only clearing the game will wake you. Death in-game means real death. Enjoy your stay."I was a housewife on my way back from grocery shopping when the car accident happened. When I opened my eyes, I found myself inside a game world.The title "Family of Four" screamed wholesome parenting sim to me.I quietly looked around at the other players who had entered with me. A lot of them were terrified of this new environment, and several men were cursing loudly.Among the crowd, a veteran player named Mike Bates started explaining the situation. "This is an infinite horror game. The only way to clear it and revive is by getting an SSS rating. Otherwise, you will be killed by the boss.""How do you even get tha

Chapter 2

The door swung open, revealing a disaster zone: flickering lights, a living room splattered with unidentified red liquid, walls peeling with mold, and a couch buried under a thick layer of dust.My eyebrows twitched. My gaze immediately locked onto a teenage boy lounging on the couch with his feet propped up on the coffee table.He had a head of messy curls, five or six earrings dangling from his ears, and wore a pair of ripped jeans with chains hanging off them. He looked every bit a juvenile delinquent.At the sound, he looked up at me, his eyes flickering with madness and bloodlust. "You're back. I'm starving. Hurry up and make dinner! I want braised eyeballs and fried hands."The stream chat was immediately filled with schadenfreude.[Holy shit! She ran into the secondary boss right off the bat. This newbie's luck is something else.][Whether she cooks or not, she's screwed. Unless she gouges out her own eyes and chops off her hands, hahaha!]When I wasn't moving, the boy re

The system's voice rang out again. "Son's favorability has increased to 60."His textbooks and homework were untouched. He clearly hadn't studied at all.Just as I thought! The stereotype that problem kids were also academic failures was spot on.I rolled my eyes in disgust, smacked the back of his head a few more times, and forced him to write down his name.Looking at his crooked handwriting, I learned that his name was Liam.He was 14 years old and in the eighth grade.I picked up the duster and stood over him to supervise his homework. Every mistake earned him a hard whack.Handling rebellious teenagers was my specialty. In the real world, my daughter loved skipping classes and getting into fights during middle school, but under my strict supervision, her grades shot straight up.A gem couldn't be polished without friction, and I refused to let my child be a slacker, not even in a game. Thanks to my relentless parenting, his favorability toward me climbed to 80.The clock

Chapter 4

Even more blood poured from my husband's body, and he radiated an even more dangerous aura. Clearly, the methods I used on Liam weren't going to work on him at all.Comments of mockery flashed across the screen.[Oh boy, is she finally going to die? I think she completely infuriated the big boss.][The last newbie got slowly sliced to death. Let's see what this one will get.]...I had no idea that my husband was intending to kill me; I was just furious about how unqualified he was as a father.His daughter was soaking wet, and he didn't even know enough to change her clothes. Once I finished bathing the girl, I would deal with him properly."Make whatever you want yourself," I said casually before grabbing my daughter by the back of her collar and marching into the bathroom.Once inside, I ignored the sharp claws she thrust at my chest, swiftly stripped off her clothes, and stuffed her into the bathtub."Sweetie, I'm going to give you a nice bath!" I gave her a loud kiss on t

Chapter 5

I immediately pinned my husband down on the bed. Without a word, I stripped every piece of clothing off his body."What are you doing?" he protested. "Let go of me! How can you just strip off my clothes?"The incisions all over his body began oozing blood, rapidly turning him into a bloody mess. I wasn't scared in the slightest; I just felt this parenting game was a bit gory.The clean bedsheets I had just changed were ruined. It was a total nightmare for my OCD.Gritting my teeth, I ripped out all his stitches. "This is crazy! You got my clean sheets filthy! How am I supposed to sleep tonight?"Once the threads were removed, he rapidly disassembled. Talk about a flat-pack husband!Ignoring his protests, I threw his disassembled body parts into the bathtub one by one to scrub them clean. Once they were spotless, I pieced them back together and stitched him back up using new yarn.Another comment floated across the screen: [Does she really not know this is a horror game? How can

Chapter 6

I easily found the diary in a gap in the cabinet. It answered all my questions.Liam had been sent to live with his grandparents since he was little, growing up amid constant bullying from his classmates.He started acting out and getting into fights just to protect himself. Between bullying and his isolation, his mindset gradually twisted until he became a full-blown psychopathic killer.I selectively ignored the killer part and focused on the fact that Liam was being bullied. That was something I could never tolerate.Even a game character could be bullied. The realism of this parenting sim was terrifyingly high.As a competent mother, I had to get justice for my son. With that thought, I grabbed the knife and stormed back to the school.The bullies had cornered Liam against the wall again. Infuriated, I charged right at them with my knife.The leader was an unfamiliar face. He was probably the mastermind behind all of this.Reminding myself that this was just a game where ha

Chapter 7

The system's voice sounded again, "Daughter's favorability has increased to 70."The very next day after I laid down the law, Liam's grandparents showed up at our house. The old woman sat down on the couch with her nose in the air."Where is my grandson?" she demanded.The old man sat down next to her and barked, "Penny! Hurry up and get me a glass of water!"Penny quickly came out of her room to fetch the water, but I stopped her. "She's such a small child. What if she scalds herself? Sweetie, I'll do it in a bit. Go back to your room."The two elders felt their authority was being challenged. The old man slammed his hand down on the table."She's just a worthless little girl!" he snorted. "Who cares if she gets burned? I'm her grandfather, and she's supposed to pour water for me!"I held his gaze, telling Liam to get the water instead."Since when do boys do housework?" the old woman protested. "My grandson shouldn't have to lift a finger! Make the girl do it!"That was the

Chapter 8

"I'm sorry, Penny!" the old woman cried. "Please forgive me."Penny looked up at me with pure admiration. I asked how else she wanted me with the old woman.She thought for a moment. "Mom, can you kick Grandpa and Grandma out and make sure they never come to our house again? I don't like them.""No problem." I grabbed the old woman by the collar, dragged her into the living room like a sack of garbage, opened the front door, and threw her out.The old man protested, and I slammed the knife straight down right beneath his crotch. "Come back here or mess with my kids again, and next time this goes higher!"He trembled and scampered away.I stuffed the snacks they had just been fighting over into Penny's arms. "Here you go, sweetie. Eat as much as you want. There's plenty more. Share them with your brother."Penny's favorability finally reached 100.Now, only my mysterious husband was left to conquer. I searched the entire house for clues about his identity, but there was nothing.

Chapter 9

If seeing the knife terrified Scott, seeing the killer had to be even worse.I stepped in front of Scott, and with the absolute intention of ending Matthew, I charged straight ahead, raising my knife and hacking wildly.My blade sliced deep into his arm, making him howl in agony. "My hand! Ahhh!"Blood poured down his arm and splattered onto the ground, looking gruesome. Enraged by my attack, he pulled out a certain prop and lunged straight at me, intending to finish me off right then and there.But his weapon couldn't compete with mine. It was shattered into pieces in seconds. Seizing the opening, I slashed at his leg and knocked him down.As he writhed and howled on the ground, I nudged Scott, who stood there in a daze. "Go on. Don't you want revenge?"He snapped out of it. "Blood for blood. You've already done more than enough for me. I'll handle the rest myself."Understanding what he meant, I turned away from the scene.Scott marched over with a blank expression and ripped

Chapter 10

On the night of the ninth day, none of us slept.I nagged Liam to study hard, stay away from those bad kids, stop getting into fights, eat on time, sleep on time, and play fewer video games.I also told him to listen to his dad after I left and not to bully his sister. I braided Penny's hair again, bathed her, and read her a bedtime story.As for lighthearted Scott... I ruffled his hair and gave him a warm hug.On the tenth day of the game, the three of them escorted me to the ticket hall. Tickets had to be purchased by the players themselves; NPCs could only wait outside.I saw the other players again, but compared to the beginning, their numbers had shrunk dramatically. Out of the original one hundred people, only ten were left now.Most of them were badly injured. Dismembered bodies were everywhere. Some had their eyeballs gouged out. Some were missing arms or legs, and others only had their upper bodies left, arriving in wheelchairs.I was one of the few players with all my
