I Think I’m a Horror Game Villain - Chapter 106
Chapter 106
***
After Napolitan left, I checked the guide again. The contents had changed.
12. If you wish, you can stay on this safe and comfortable third floor indefinitely. If you do not leave within four days, your soul will belong to Lr辛zZIErL.
Four days from the time I received this guide… ‘That’s tomorrow!’
“I thought it was strange that entry number 12 was left blank.” I never dreamed such content was hidden there.
Lr辛zZIErL written in entry number 12. If you write these in Korean characters as they appear… ㄴㅏ포ㄹㄹㅣㅌㅏㄴ Napolitan. Pulse’s real name.
If I had remembered entry number 12, I would have tried to leave from the beginning… but…
13. Forget entry number 12. There is no number 12 in the rules here.
‘If my guess is correct, this entry number 13 must have contained the power to make me lose my memory.’
After checking the guide, I understood the meaning of the hint Napolitan gave me that morning.
“All information regarding the third floor is listed in the guide. If you wish to stay here comfortably and safely, I urge you once again to adhere to the rules.”
As he said, all the information about this place was in the guide. It’s just that we couldn’t remember it. And his following words… ‘To continue staying on the third floor, follow the rules.’
Conversely, it meant that if I wanted to leave, I had to break the rules.
I immediately called Tommy and Zion to the VIP room and told them about my conversation with Napolitan. Then I showed them the changed guide.
“Damn it! We almost had our souls stolen without knowing anything!”
“That was a close one.”
“I knew he looked suspicious from the start.”
“Didn’t you trust him quite a bit, Tommy?”
“Huh? So? What kind of answer are you looking for?”
“I wasn’t particularly looking for an answer from you, Tommy. I was just stating a fact.”
“This bastard, really…!”
“Both of you, stop.”
They were at each other’s throats again, just minutes after seeing each other. I stopped the two of them, who looked ready to start throwing punches.
“This isn’t the time to be fighting amongst ourselves.”
Why were they so eager to tear each other apart today?
‘Zion usually plays the role of peacemaker…’
“Did you just tell me to shut up?”
“Yeah, I told you to shut up. What are you going to do about it?”
“Do you know who I am? You look like a commoner. Normally, someone like you wouldn’t even be able to speak to me.”
“So what?”
“Both of you, stop it.”
Comparing his mature demeanor when he mediated their fights shortly after our arrival to his current behavior made me sigh. He seemed to be getting more childish as time went on.
Just as I finished this thought, I felt a sense of unease. ‘I’ve never had a conversation like that with Tommy.’
The memory felt just out of reach. The person who constantly bickered with Tommy was…
Just as the subsided headache began to throb again…
“Excuse me.”
Napolitan entered the room.
“The elevator is now available. You may leave whenever you wish.”
Seeing the butler, Tommy jumped up from his seat and shouted, “I won’t be fooled again! Isn’t it another lie that we can move to the next chapter by using the elevator?”
“I understand why you would think that, but it’s not a lie.”
“Of course it’s a lie. I’ll never believe the words of a ghost who manipulates people’s memories.”
“Very well. Then, I’ll take my leave. Please call me if you need anything.”
After Napolitan left, Zion spoke. “I agree with Tommy this time. Let’s see if there’s another way out of here before we use the elevator.”

Following Zion’s suggestion, we scoured the third floor. However, there were no stairs leading to the fourth floor in the third-floor hallway.
We searched every nook and cranny, wondering if we could go up through a ladder or secret passage in a room, like we had before…
“There’s nothing here.”
“I didn’t find anything unusual either.”
“Damn it. Heyna, was there anything in the women’s restroom?”
“No. Nothing special.”
We had no success.
“It seems the only way to get out of here is to take that elevator.”
A luxurious elevator, the kind you’d find in a hotel, out of place in this old building. After hesitating in front of it for a long time, Zion pressed the elevator button.
Ding!
The doors opened with a cheerful chime.
