I Think I’m a Horror Game Villain - Chapter 60
Chapter 60
After reading the content to the end, I immediately realized
that the five people mentioned here were Rose and Tommy, Heyna and Zion, and Player respectively.
But a contract? A curse? What does all this mean?
With a sense of unease, I turned the next page.
[Xth of Xth month
Why isn’t the curse lifted?
Could it be that I haven’t filled 100 slots yet?
No way! No way…
Please, just free me from this terrible curse!]
[Xth of Xth month
The people I dealt with the day before yesterday came back here.
Why? They clearly became ■■.]
[Xth of Xth month
The curse wasn’t lifted today either, and they showed up again.
It’s a repeat.
The red and blue hair fight, and the blonde hair man stops them.
The scared woman was still useless.
The black-haired woman was quite smart, but even she couldn’t escape from here.
Wait a minute. Woman?
I’m pretty sure it was a man yesterday…]
[Xth of Xth month
Finally, I got it!
The five people who are resurrected and come here every time. One of them kept changing.
One day it was a black-haired woman.
Another day it was a flamboyant blonde man.
Today it was a cotton candy pink-haired woman.
It’s not just the appearance.
The personality was different every time too.
The pink-haired woman I saw today was so scared that she just kept screaming.
So, what’s the point of figuring this out?]
[Xth of Xth month
It’s repeating.
It’s repeating.
It’s repeating.]
[Xth of Xth month
Ah!
There was no way to escape the curse.
How ridiculous I must have looked, floundering around without even knowing that.
Now, whatever. Let’s all just die!!!]
[Xth of Xth month
Tomorrow… won’t come.]
[Xth of Xth month
Something strange happened.
The girl who had been hiding in the corner every time she came here whispered to me.
She know how to break the curse.
Is this- the devil’s whisper? Or is it a saving hand that will pull me out of this terrible curse?
It doesn’t matter either way.
As long as I can escape the shackles of this repeating eternity.]
The diary ended there.
There were three things I learned from Jessie’s diary.
First, she has memories of the previous playthrough even after the game resets.
Second, she was cursed by a contract with someone. Perhaps the curse is lifted if she kills 100 people who enter this room.
Third, in the last entry of the diary, ‘Heyna’ told her that she ‘knows how to break the curse’.
Did Heyna really know how to break the curse? And why did Jessie, an NPC, have memories of the previous playthrough every time the game reset?
Just as my unanswered questions were growing…
Thud.
Water suddenly started dripping from the ceiling.
‘This is…’
It’s the penalty that occurs when you do something that’s not in the answer.
But we haven’t done anything yet?
***
In the room of the past.
“What the hell. They’re all blank.”
Tommy pulled out all the books on the bookshelf and flipped through them one by one.
“Hey, stop it! What if there’s a trap among them?”
“Stop nagging. We can think about that later.”
“Instead, let’s contact Heyna first….”
“Then you sit there with the walkie-talkie. I’ll look for a way out of this room.”
“Hey, Tommy!”
Rose grabbed the back of his neck. She couldn’t understand him at all. Unable to watch Tommy’s atrocities any longer, Rose eventually approached him.
“Oh. There’s something here.”
Tommy opened a black hard-cover book labeled “Jessie’s Diary.”
“What is it? Let me see.”
Rose, who had approached with the intention of stopping Tommy, couldn’t help but look over his shoulder at the book out of curiosity.

I finally became a maid for the Clarence family after fierce competition.
My monthly salary is a whopping twenty gold coins!
I can work for more than the imperial maids even though I’m just a maid!
The rules to follow are quite strict, but… well, whatever.
There’s nothing particularly difficult.
What should I buy with my salary?
First, I’ll send five gold coins home… and… should I buy a pretty dress?
As a maid for the Clarence family, I can’t keep wearing these rags.]
“What is it? It’s just an ordinary diary.”
Rose sighed, secretly hoping there might be a clue to escape this room. Beside her, Tommy exclaimed in surprise.
“Wow, are you crazy? The maid’s salary is twenty gold coins?!”
“Yes. Twenty gold coins wouldn’t be enough to live on for a month.”
At the words she uttered without thinking, Tommy’s eyes suddenly sank. Tommy clicked his tongue briefly and said, “Twenty gold coins is enough for a family of four commoners to live on for two months.”
