It was my third day working as an NPC cashier in a horror game when the supermarket got completely wrecked by players. They stormed in, smashing shelves, looting everything, setting fires, feeling real proud of themselves. "Told you the shopkeeper here was useless. Absolutely trash in all combat stats," one said. "Grab whatever you want. Once we're done, we'll just kill the owner," another chimed in. My mouth was gagged. I shook my head in terror. One of the players sneered. "Begging? That won't save you." No! That was not what I was trying to say! I was trying to tell them that today was the NPC internal shopping day. Three minutes from now, every single dungeon boss in the entire game would be rushing here to shop.

It’s end of October 1985 and the crumbling river town of Dubois, Iowa is shocked by the gruesome murder of one of the pillars of the community. Detective David Carlson has no motive, no evidence, and only one lead: the macabre local legend of “Boris Orlof,” a late night horror movie host who burned to death during a stage performance at the drive-in on Halloween night twenty years ago and the teenage loner obsessed with keeping his memory alive. The body count is rising and the darkness that hangs over the town grows by the hour. Time is running out as Carlson desperately chases shadows into a nightmare world of living horrors. On Halloween the drive-in re-opens at midnight for a show no one will ever forget. ©️ Crystal Lake Publishing

Setelah mengalami keguguran lima kali berturut-turut, akhirnya aku konsultasi ke dokter untuk menanyakan alasan mengapa tubuhku tidak mampu mempertahankan janin. Namun, sebelum masuk ke ruangan pemeriksaan, aku mendengar percakapan suamiku dengan dokter di depan pintu. "Obat aborsi yang kamu berikan cukup manjur. Dia sudah keguguran lima kali. Kapan bisa dilakukan operasi pengangkatan rahim? Aku nggak bisa membiarkan Kirana mengandung anakku," ucap Raka. Dia melanjutkan, "Oh ya, tolong resepkan juga obat penguat kandungan untukku. Maya sedang mengandung anakku, aku harus memastikan bayi itu lahir dengan sehat." Dokter berkata, "Tapi kondisi tubuh Kirana sudah sangat lemah selama beberapa tahun terakhir. Kemungkinan besar dia nggak akan pernah bisa hamil lagi." Raka malah menanggapinya dengan santai, "Memangnya kenapa? Justru aku memang mau dia nggak pernah bisa punya anak, makanya aku selalu membuatnya keguguran." "Sudahlah, nggak usah bahas ini lagi. Aku masih harus menemani Maya membeli perlengkapan ibu dan bayi," lanjut Raka. Aku mendengar semua percakapan itu di balik pintu, tubuhku terasa dingin. Aku baru sadar ternyata cinta yang selama ini kupertahankan hanyalah sebuah lelucon.

I had a perception disorder that messed with how I saw and felt stuff. So when I got dropped into a horror game, everyone else freaked out trying to survive— Me? I thought I was in a dating sim. I raised a young fae like she was my kid, fell for the vampire count, and treated the undead like my in-laws. The first time I saw the vampire—face torn up, soaked in blood—I straight-up blushed. "You're really handsome." He froze. Then, low and uncertain: "Am I... really handsome?"

I sell burritos in a horror game. All the ghosts would come to my place and buy a tasty burrito after they got off work. That was until one day, my ex-husband, who was obsessed with abusing me, joined the game as a player. He brought a group of people to my store and trashed the place. They ruined all the ingredients I had. When the Bosses finished their overtime and saw their pre-ordered burritos on the ground in pieces, their eyes became dark, and they were immediately infuriated. The Patchwork Monster was so angry that the stitches on its body were beginning to break. It started ripping the players apart. The Eight-Armed Maiden’s hair fanned out and pierced many players. The Wedding Dress Maiden suddenly became a giant and started eating the players one by one. The Bosses were willing to work overtime and maintain the operations of the dungeons overnight just so that they could have a burrito. That night, all the players were sleeping when they were forced to join a horror game.
