I Think I’m a Horror Game Villain - Chapter 75

Chapter 75

“No way. Only 10 minutes left!”

Rose, who had checked the timer, turned pale.

“What happens if we can’t escape within 10 minutes?”

In response to Rose’s frightened question, Zion gave a very obvious answer.

“They said that if we fail to escape, poison gas will be released, so I think we’ll probably start over from the saved point.”

“If it’s a saved point….”

“The last time I saved was when I first entered the room. The save function hasn’t been activated since then. Where did the others last save?”

At Zion’s question, Rose and Tommy answered in turn.

“…For me too, it was the first time I entered the room.”

“Me too.”

“What about Heyna and Dekir?”

“I saved when I first entered the room, and after that, I was so busy that I didn’t really think about saving.”

“Me too.”

For a moment, a cold silence fell. The one who broke the awkward silence was Rose.

“I don’t want to go back to that horrible room again…! Rather than going through that again, I’d rather die!”

Rose, who had her fingers tangled in her disheveled hair, shouted, trembling. Her blue eyes, which had lost focus, were consumed by fear.

‘Rose said that the ghost fell from the ceiling when she was lying in bed.’

I don’t know exactly what happened, but it must have been a terrifying memory for Rose, who is easily scared.

Thinking about the Rose I’ve seen so far, I could understand why she was reacting this way. At least in my head.

‘I’d rather die.’

The moment I heard those words, I felt a surge of anger.

To me, who only has one life, Rose’s words sounded like nothing more than spoiled whining.

No one knows how hard I’ve fought to survive until now.

While I was in a daze, the remaining time decreased to 9 minutes.

“Calm down. We still have time, so let’s look for a way to get out of here first.”

At Zion’s words, Rose muttered powerlessly.

“Is there a way out…?”

“Well, we have to look for it first….”

“The passage we came up through is closed, and all four sides are blocked by white walls. What do you want us to do in a place like this?”

“….”

Rose was right.

The room, which was painted white from floor to ceiling, had no doors or even small cracks. The chances of finding a way to escape within the remaining time in this place, where there was not a single object that could be a clue, were slim.

Besides, this room might not be the last one.

What if we manage to escape and a new room appears?

‘No, there’s no hope at all.’

Even as I thought this, time was rapidly running out. When the timer runs out, the others will be able to start over from the saved point, but not me.

The pressure and anxiety made my nerves sharp. My stamina was also starting to run low.

Is it because of fatigue? The despair that I had been suppressing came back to me, along with anger.

How long are they going to keep whining? Rose, who has been crying and whining and causing trouble ever since I first met her, was annoying.

“So what, are we just going to sit here and wait for the timer to run out?”

Tommy, who always has to argue.

“Tommy, please calm down.”

Zion, who pretends to be calm and capable, but is actually useless.

I hated them all.

[Mental strength decreased by 5.]
[Mental strength decreased by 5.]
[Mental strength decreased by 5.]

The message window notifying me of the decrease in mental strength popped up one after another, blocking my view.

I was fine when I was going through all that hardship earlier, so why is my mental strength dropping now?

I didn’t try to stop my mental strength from dropping. It was because I didn’t even have the energy to do so.

In this terrifying horror game where you never know what will happen, the pressure of knowing that I only have one life is eating away at my sanity. If I make even the slightest mistake, no, even if I don’t make a mistake, I don’t know when or where I might encounter a deadly crisis.

‘I don’t want to die. But I’m tired of struggling alone to survive.’

【system】 ‘The caretaker of the mansion’ is sending you a message.

What is this now?

[A special mission has arrived. Would you like to check it?]
[Yes] [No]

Until now, they’ve been giving me strange missions without even asking me what I want, so why are they being so kind and giving me a choice this time?

Without even thinking, I pressed Yes.

I’m going to die soon anyway, so I might as well check what this special mission is all about.

[Mission] Tell someone you love them.
(Reward)
♥ 1
3 Hints

“Huh?”

The fact that the mansion’s administrator, or whoever it was, sent a message was absurd enough, but the content of the mission left me even more bewildered.

Tell someone important that you love them?

‘This isn’t a sad-ending romance novel where you confess your love before dying. What kind of nonsensical mission is this?’

Despite the ridiculous mission content, the reward was also quite generous.

Just for saying “I love you,” there were 3 hints. And that heart symbol…
