The Game That I Came From Manhwa Novels & Stories

The shadow of Kang Jin Chen loomed over me, a constant reminder of the power and danger that surrounded me. I was in over my head. I was playing a game I didn't understand, with rules I didn't know. And I was about to get burned.

I walked past her calmly. I didn't stop or even glance at her. The sound of my shoes echoed across the polished marble floor, steady and clear as I walked farther away. Her figure, along with the magazine in her hand, remained behind in the shadow of the bright city lights. The floating comments kept scrolling. [Now this is a real male power-fantasy story!] [All that distance he walked, and he never once looked back.] [The real story of his life is only just beginning!]

"There are lots of rooms in there, each with its own... 'occupant.' You need to pick a place to stay, then figure out how to survive their welcome for ten days." Everyone started heading for the manor. I followed behind, without noticing glowing comments floating in the air above us. 【Livestream Viewers: 233,847】 【Comment 1: lol more newbies here to die】 【Comment 2: a face-blind girl in a horror game? she won't even see it coming lmao】 【Comment 3: Sensory deficiencies in an S-class game is suicide】 【Comment 4: wait, i've heard of this game. even the legendary guild leader of Nightfall got his whole team wiped out here】

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 revived.

ZAIRE’S POV Two years ago… I was fuming, my hands balled into fists as I busted through the doors of the arcade, with Jasper and Reggie hot on my tail. This was the place I knew I was most likely going to find that piece of shit. My heart was beating so fast in my chest, and the rage surging through me was like nothing I had ever felt before. But then again, this was my usual reaction whenever anything had to do with that prick, Burkhart.

“He wants to mark me at the upcoming Mate Ceremony.” “What?!” Neema screeched. “You ran from MoonClaw and now you wanna join Moonhart? Syra, have you lost your damn mind?” “Wait—you agreed?” Agness gasped, bouncing like a kid. “Spill! Give me the spice!” I exhaled heavily. “I’m desperate, not stupid. I suggested a game.” “A game?” Neema echoed, suspicious. Agness started dancing on the bed, squealing, “This keeps getting better!”

Xiu Yuan raised his brows in astonishment like he just heard the most beautiful words, he was so happy that they would be playing a new game. "What is that?" Xiu Junjie asked, curious about the game that he was unable to hide his interest as he crossed his legs and crossed his arms across his chest. "Ddak-bam is a game if I ask you a question and you miss then you flick my forehead just like this." Si Ning explained as he gently flicked Xiu Yuan’s forehead to show as an example. Xiu Yuan's small hands flew to his forehead and he giggled. "Let... play."

“Care to enlighten me?” “You don’t need a pretend girlfriend to go to your sister's wedding. You could actually go alone. And if you’re desperate enough for a date, you could always get anyone. You are Dominique Gray. A lot of women would kill to go on this trip with you. And if you ever run out of choices, you could get an escort. All of this is part of your little game to get inside my pants again.” “The last time I checked you picked out the game and you failed. Did you do that on purpose? Because a part of you is enjoying this little game of ours and you wouldn’t like for it to come to an end.”

It made her lonely. “You want to play video games?” “Video games?” “Yeah, I got the new game called Demonyo* where you can choose a mage, a fighter, a deadeye, a rebel, and a wizard as your main character.” “You did? I heard about the game coming out, but I totally forgot about it.” “I just got it this morning, and I haven’t even opened the package yet. You want to play it together?” She asked like a kid wanting to open her Christmas present. Owen could not decline.

“I like it. It makes me feel… desired.” The confession sent a spike of obsessive ecstasy through him. She had noticed. She liked it. Kyomi stood up suddenly and moved to a nearby shelf, pulling out a different game box. “Hanafuda is boring now. Let’s play something more interesting. My idea.” She opened the box and spread out beautifully illustrated cards depicting traditional Japanese folklore characters, couples in intimate poses, and scenario prompts. The title read Yokai Seduction: Roleplay Tales. “It’s a couples game my friend brought from a trendy shop in Shibuya,” she explained, kneeling directly in front of him now, her hands resting on his knees. “We draw a scenario card and act it
