I Think I’m a Horror Game Villain - Chapter 17
Chapter 17
“…Pardon?”
Zion was surprised.
[Zion’s favorability towards ‘Heyna’ has increased by 1.]
“Huh?”
This time, I was also surprised, like Zion.
What? Why did it increase?
I clearly chose an option that should never increase favorability.
“I’m sorry, Heyna. I was reckless.”
Zion bowed his head and apologized.
“…Alright, just be careful from now on.”
This wasn’t what I wanted. The desired outcome wasn’t achieved, but at least I managed to escape his probing. Currently, Zion’s favorability and suspicion have both increased by 1.
‘Increasing favorability doesn’t decrease suspicion, huh?’
Thanks to that, I obtained valuable information.
Not long after I finished organizing my thoughts, Rose’s voice was heard.
“Hey guys, there’s something strange here!”
Rose was pointing at the wall. Everyone gathered in the direction Rose was pointing.
There was a red button there.
【Caution】
Pressing the button will start the game.
If you win the game, you can obtain the key to the Room of Memories.
Advice: Activate the save point with [Save] before pressing the button!
‘A game?’
Come to think of it, I’ve heard a story about Ha-yeon who made mini-games while exploring the mansion as the players encountered ghosts.
‘If I knew this would happen, I should have paid more attention to the details of the game.’
“What does this mean?”
“Save? Save point?”
“For now, one thing is clear. It seems like we have to press this button to enter the Room of Memories.”
“Do we really have to press the button? I’m a bit concerned about not knowing what kind of game it will be.”
While everyone was expressing their thoughts, I quietly opened the menu.
‘Let’s see. Save…’
[New Game]
[Load]
[Collection]
[Exit]
Huh?
There’s no save…?
Just in case, I selected [Load].
[No save file found.]
Of course, there wouldn’t be a save file! I’ve never saved before.
‘How can I create a save file when there’s no way to save?’
Are they making fun of me?
“Well, let’s all just save. When we opened our inventory earlier, there was an option that said, ‘Do you want to save?’.”
“Okay, I saved.”
“I did too.”
“I saved as well.” Tommy and Dekir also finished saving.
‘What? Why am I left out? Don’t I have a save button?’
Please restore my save function.
This was not the time to be idle. I’m the only one among us who couldn’t save. What does this mean?
‘If I make a mistake, I’ll be the only one in trouble.’
“Did everyone save?” Zion asked, and everyone nodded.
“What about Heyna?”
Perhaps because of what happened earlier, Zion specifically asked me again.
‘If I say I’m the only one who couldn’t save, they’ll suspect me again.’
I lied while pretending to save it.
“Yes, I’ve saved too.”
“Great. Then I’ll press it now.”
Zion pressed the button with a tense expression.
Click.
A clicking sound was heard.
“….”
“….”
Everyone held their breath, waiting to see what would happen. However, no matter how long we waited, there was no significant change.
“What? Nothing happened,” Tommy said while scratching his head and speaking carelessly.
“Yes, I agree. Just in case, should we press it again?”
Zion pressed the button again, but the result was the same.
“Move aside. Let me press it.” Rose pushed Zion aside and pressed the button, but the result was unchanged.
“Ugh, we were so nervous for nothing.” A faint sense of relief settled on Rose’s face, which had been tense with anticipation.
Click. Click.
As Rose needlessly pressed the button out of frustration, the title of a post I had coincidentally seen on a community site came to mind.
[Vote for the Most Annoying Character]
In ‘The Lost Mansion of Memories,’ who is the most annoying character?
Rose Liverton overwhelmingly took first place in the vote.
Zion, who causes discord with his bold words.
Heyna, who faints at the slightest provocation.
Tommy, who constantly argues and stubbornly insists on his own opinions.
Compared to these three, Rose was simply self-centered and clueless. There was a reason why Rose confidently claimed first place.
That reason is…
[Rose is useless in the game]
└ [Seriously, every time she does something, we suffer]
[I was on the third level, and when Rose pressed the button, the mini-game difficulty instantly became level 10, resulting in an immediate dead-end.]
Rose. Button. Mini-game.
If the comment I saw back then is hinting at this situation…
‘Zion pressed it twice. Tommy pressed it once. And Rose…’
I called out to Rose.
“Wait a minute!”
I urgently called Rose.
“Yes?”
Click.
“What’s going on with you, Heyna?”
Click.
“Stop pressing that!”
“Why? Nothing is happening.”
Click.
“I just have a bad feeling about it!”
Rose didn’t seem to understand why I urgently told her to stop. Still, she stopped pressing the button.
‘How many times did we press the button?’
I tried to recall the number of times we pressed the button when a status message appeared in the air.
【Hide and Seek】
Survive for 5 minutes without being caught.
Advice: There are places to hide all around, so make good use of them.
“Hide and seek?”
“It seems like we have to play hide and seek.”
“This is troublesome. Where can we hide in this hallway…”
“The difficulty is set based on the number of times we pressed the button.”
