Twelve
Global supernatural horrors descended upon the world, and everyone had to clear horror-game instances to earn a slim chance at survival.
In my previous life, my fiancée refused to use her item to open the exit because she wanted to wait for her first love to clear the instance.
But this was the final escape point in the instance, and our only chance to survive.
With only three minutes left, I had no choice but to knock her unconscious and use her item to force the exit open.
Her first love was ultimately left behind in the horror realm, where the horrors devoured him.
However, I cleared the instance successfully and used the generous score rewards to build a happy life with my girlfriend at the survivor base.
During the final instance, just as I was about to lead humanity in defeating the supernatural boss, my girlfriend injected me with an anesthetic, deliberately destroyed my item, and threw me into the horror realm.
The horrors swallowed me whole, tearing my soul apart while I was still alive.
Meanwhile, she watched from the safe house, sneering at me.
“If you hadn’t been so afraid to die and abandoned Finn back then, he could have made it out alive.”
“You must pay for everything Finn suffered!”
When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day my girlfriend stubbornly refused to use her item.
Since she wanted so badly to live and die alongside her first love, the two of them could become nourishment for the horrors together.
