I Think I’m a Horror Game Villain - Chapter 58

Schedule: Monday and Friday

Chapter 58

“Next is green, then yellow.”

“Okay. I’ll check it first, so Heyna follow me slowly.”

Dekir, who stepped onto the green platform, didn’t seem to feel any fear. I felt relieved that Dekir was so strong, but I also felt sorry for him.

“Dekir… aren’t you scared?”

Sharp blades are spinning under the platform. If you step on the wrong platform and fall, your whole body will be cut.

Of course, Dekir will be able to come back to life because he has saved his game, but according to what I heard from Rose last time, the pain of death will be felt as it is.

“It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t scared.”

Dekir let out a slightly awkward laugh.

“But…”

His affectionate eyes met mine and then closed firmly.

“It’s better than watching Heyna in danger.”

“….”

“And if the platform goes out… we’re holding hands, so it’s okay, right? If anything happens, you can pull me up.”

If Dekir falls, I won’t be able to pull him up with my strength. If it were Zion, I don’t know, but Dekir is so well-built that he could hold me with one arm.

He must have known that too. But the reason he said that is….

‘It must be his consideration. So that I don’t feel sorry.’

My heart fluttered for no reason at his overly affectionate consideration.

‘Get a grip! What are you getting excited about in this situation!’

The fact that my face is flushed just from those words is all because of the situation.

No, it’s just that Dekir, who takes the lead because of the terrible fear of falling down, looks cooler….

‘…No, it’s not! Is this the time to be feeling such personal emotions?’

I slapped my cheeks and calmed down the emotions that were tearing through my insides on their own.

– They’re talking well. If you’re going to flirt, why don’t you turn off the radio?

– Tommy!

– Why. I didn’t say anything wrong.

– You should learn from Dekir at least.

– What? Am I crazy? Why would I learn from that guy? You should learn to be like Heyna.

– What? What about me!

– What have you done since you entered this room? You’ve been clinging to me, yelling.

– When did I cling to you!

The voices of the two people who couldn’t stand it and started fighting again brought me back to my senses a little.

“Rose, where next?”

– Uh, what did I say so far?

“I did red, green, and yellow.”

– Yes. Next is….

Following the order Rose called out, Dekir took one step forward first. Once I confirmed that Dekir was safe, I immediately followed him.

Like that, we finally arrived at the other side after stepping on a total of 11 platforms.

“Whew.”

Dekir, who had completely stepped off the platform, leaned against the wall. His body slid down as if he were tired.

“Dekir, are you okay?”

“Yeah. I’m fine. My legs suddenly feel weak.”

He didn’t show it, but Dekir must have been tense all the way here too.

I want to rest a little, but.

[00:39]

There was no time.

‘I spent too much time on a simple problem. Originally, I should have escaped this room within a minute.’

Dekir, noticing my anxious heart, got up from his seat.

“Let’s hurry to the next room.”

“Dekir, wait a minute.”

I handed the walkie-talkie to Dekir.

“Let’s contact Zion before we go.”

“Zion? That jer… ah, no, why?”

It seemed like Dekir was about to say ‘that jerk’ about Zion.

It was an uncharacteristic remark for Dekir’s gentle personality, but I thought it might be possible if it was about Zion. Dekir has a crush on me.

He might have spoken harshly without realizing it because he didn’t like the way Zion treated me.

I pointed to the words written on the floor, pretending I didn’t hear the first part.

“Here, it says the path to the future is in the present.”

“Yeah.”

“So Zion, who is in the future room, is probably in the same situation as us.”

Dekir still had a displeased expression on his face.

“Then I’ll talk.”

“Huh?”

“You want to ask if there are platforms in the room where Zion is, right?”

“Yeah. Right.”

“I’ll talk to Zion instead of you.”

He didn’t seem to mind when he was talking to Rose earlier. Does he dislike me talking to Zion that much?

‘Well, I don’t really want to talk to Zion either.’

There was no reason to refuse his offer to talk to the unpleasant person instead, so I nodded.

I shouldn’t be avoiding Zion like this.

I thought I should raise my favorability to avoid being questioned by the suspicious Zion, but it wasn’t as easy as I thought.

‘My favorability drops as soon as I do something.’

But I couldn’t keep acting like the ‘weak woman who only needs protection’ that Zion wants. Heyna is not the female protagonist in a sweet romance fantasy novel, but a character in a horror game where anything can happen at any moment.

I’ll have to think about how to deal with Zion later after the room escape is over.

Read ahead eight chapters here.
