I Think I’m a Horror Game Villain - Chapter 118
Chapter 118
We ran for what felt like an eternity. The faint figure we had been pursuing vanished completely.
Where did she go?!
As I scanned the corridor, searching for the missing woman…
Flash!
A bright light engulfed me.
“Ugh!”
Instinctively, I raised my hand to shield my eyes from the sudden glare. Squinting, I looked around, unable to believe what I was seeing.
“…What?”
The endless corridor was gone. Before me lay a vast ballroom.
Is this… the second floor?
The polished red carpet, the ornate jeweled chandeliers, the dazzling lights—the overall structure resembled the second-floor hall. But there was a difference.
The marble statues are missing.
The statues I’d seen around the enormous golden fountain were nowhere to be found.
And…
“Dekir, can you see those people too?”
People in elegant dresses and suits were dancing merrily in the ballroom. Their chattering voices and cheerful laughter were too vivid to be a hallucination.
“Yes, I see them.”
So Dekir could see them as well. That meant I wasn’t hallucinating.
Turning to Dekir, I was startled yet again.
“D-Dekir, your clothes…”
His tattered clothes had been replaced by a pristine tailcoat. His disheveled hair was neatly styled, just as it had been when I first saw him.
“Hayna, your clothes have changed too.”
“Oh, they have.”
My own attire had transformed into a dazzling dress.
“How did this happen…?”
My question was quickly answered.
[Rose Liverton’s Sweet and Dangerous Dream】
[Mission] Find Rose Liverton, the owner of the dream, and wake her up.
(Reward) Rose Liverton
The owner of the dream? So, this is Rose’s dream?
Wait, why isn’t there a chapter number?
There should be a number preceding the chapter name, but this chapter had none.
And that wasn’t all.
[Chapter 1. Finding the Lost Memory] – Clear!
[Chapter 2. Time Waits for No One] – Clear!
[Chapter 3. A Strange and Pleasant Rest] – Clear!
All the previous chapters, visible in the log, were marked as clear. Even Chapter 3, which I hadn’t completed yet.
The mission for Chapter 3 was ‘Take the elevator to the 4th floor.’ But I hadn’t reached the 4th floor.
So why was it marked as clear?
Furthermore…
[Inventory]
[Bloodstained Knife]
[Suspicious Poison]
[Severed Wrist]
[Gathering]
[Distortion]
Checking my inventory, just in case, I found a new item: [Distortion].
There was no reward for this mission. Why is this in my inventory?!
The automatically cleared chapters, the reward in my inventory, and this new storyline that I had no memory of—everything was shrouded in mystery.
But I didn’t have time to ponder these questions. The appearance of a time limit demanded my immediate attention.
[If you fail to wake Rose within the time limit, she will be lost forever in her dream.]
[01:00]
Another time limit. I was getting sick of them.
Thankfully, it wasn’t as tight as the one in the escape room.
Even though the ballroom was quite large, an hour seemed sufficient to search it thoroughly.
Besides, people with red hair like Rose aren’t common.
“Dekir, we need to find Rose quickly. I’ll search this side; you go that way.”
“Alright.”
I quickly made my way around the vast ballroom. It wasn’t long before I spotted Rose in the distance, chatting with a group of young ladies.
Vibrant red hair, as bright as a rose. An elaborate red dress that matched her hair perfectly. Sitting with her legs crossed on a gilded chair, it was undoubtedly Rose.
“Rose, that dress… it’s from the Marianne Atelier, isn’t it?”
Rose responded to the young lady’s question in a haughty tone.
“Yes, it is.”
“Oh my! To see the famous Marianne dress in person! It’s truly an honor!”
“Goodness, the Marianne dress, the one that’s impossible to get even if you queue for days?”
“No wonder it looks more like a work of art than a dress… It’s from the Marianne Atelier.”
Rose shrugged at the string of compliments.
“A dress like this is nothing. I can buy as many as I want. And not just dresses—jewelry, buildings… there’s nothing in this world that Rose Liverton can’t have. If you want, I can order dresses for you too.”
“Really?”
“Eek! Rose, thank you so much!”
“It’s such a pleasure to be friends with someone as wonderful as you.”
“Truly, meeting Lady Rose is the greatest fortune of my life!”
The conversation felt strangely insincere for a chat between friends.
As I listened to their childish, fawning exchange, I cautiously approached Rose. A window appeared above her head.
[Rose Liverton]
-
- Talk to her.
-
- Leave.
It was the interaction window that appeared when approaching an NPC in the game.
They’re practically spoon-feeding me the information, even displaying her name.
Without hesitation, I selected option 1. Rose, who had been laughing and chatting with the young ladies, turned to me.
“Who are you?”
