How does it feel to step into a B-grade horror game? - 7

Episode 7.

I thought they were all ghosts of the event. Still, he was scared, so Fidelis walked around with as few footsteps as he could. As a result, they found a porch that allowed them to go outside. I didn’t expect the moonlight coming through the window to be so welcome. Fidelis paused as he tried to run to the front door without hesitation.

[Off, off…….]

Kiggek, pinch-gig.

The sound of sharp iron dragging on the floor echoed. Panicking, Fidelis hurried to look around and quickly hid in the hollow wall. He tilted his head back and stared intently at the porch reflected in the moonlight.

‘It’s just around the corner!’

Kung!

His shoulders went up. His eyes fluttered at the sound of something heavy falling, and he turned his gaze in the direction the sound was coming from.

“Eup!”

It was a person. It was a corpse that had been mutilated and was already dead. The corpse, which had died without even closing its eyes, lay on the floor like a helpless doll. The perpetrator was a monster in the form of a strangely bulging man standing next to him. His body was pale gray, as if he had died, and there was blood all over his body.

The sound was a long sword in the hands of a ghost. Seeing the knife still dripping with blood, Fidelis squeezed her eyes shut and pressed closer and closer against the wall.

[Aa Turn off….]

It made a strange noise, spit out something and left, leaving the corpse alone. When it left, Fidelis didn’t come out. I’ve seen a lot of ghosts, but this was the first time I’d seen a corpse. It’s a B-grade horror game, so I was disgusted by the brutal and disgusting production.

Fidelis stared blankly at the porch. No matter how disgusting and disgusting it was, I had to get out. Trying not to look at the corpse in the distance, he carefully surveyed his surroundings and walked toward the front door.

He didn’t even want to check what it had spit out. There were blood stains on the floor, and there were more palm-shaped blood stains on the front door.

He was reluctant to step on it because of the large amount of blood blackened underneath, but he gritted his teeth and stepped on it to reach the door. He grabbed the blood-stained handle and pulled it, but the closed door didn’t even bother to move.

I felt like my body was going cold. Like the corpse next to him, he could have been killed and reawakened and spun in an infinite loop, unable to break the curse, and dying, dying, and dying like that.

I hate that!

“… No, please.”

Biting his lip, Fidelis opened the door once more, but he didn’t even show the crack in the locked door. I put the lantern down and slammed the door with my foot, but it wasn’t enough. He looked around with ominous trembling eyes, and tried to smash the door with a chair that was strewn out haphazardly, but it was not enough.

“Please!”

I tried to break the window, smash the door, and not a scratch appeared. His mind was paralyzed by fear, and his little hope was shattered, and despair grabbed Fidelis by the hand and tugged him deep. Tears streamed down her face.

“Why me! Why!”

I was desperate, and I wanted to die. I was too tired to think normally, and I just wanted to give up because of the loneliness that Russell had left. I didn’t know how much time had passed.

His gasping breath became ragged, and tears covered his face. His energy was already running low. His legs didn’t look like they were his own, and he was covered in sweat.

Just as I was desperate and didn’t know what to do, I heard a man’s soft voice behind me.

“It doesn’t matter. You have to break the curse before you can get out, here.”

Blood was dripping from his palms and staining the chair. Fidelis, who had lost her chair at his words, turned to look at him. Fidelis’ eyes were already red, and his cheeks were white and trembling.

Fidelis looked like he was about to collapse. A man entered her enemy.

Her glorious blonde hair, which contrasted with the darkness, fluttered in the wind that she didn’t know where it was coming from. Just as she was about to purse her lips at the sight of him smiling sweetly, she collapsed helplessly. The man hugged Fidelis accordingly.

Fidelis, who had collapsed as she tried to break down the front door, was quietly embraced by a man with her eyes closed. He scanned her with an intriguing look on his face.

“Gray-haired and red-eyed. And in his nightgown with a star on it, barefoot.”

She was an unusual and intriguing woman in many ways. The tears that still hung in the corners of her closed eyes were dripping down her face, and somehow she liked them.

He wiped the tears from her face and gently picked her up. He looked around and his eyes drifted to a nearby corpse. On top of the corpse was an arm covered in thick liquid.

“He’s one of the volunteers.”

The corners of his mouth lifted as he looked at Fidelis in his arms.

“I don’t think you killed him.”

Apparently he had been killed by some ghost.

“What shall I do?”

He smoothed Fidelis’ pale cheeks in his arms, a small contemplation. I don’t mind leaving it behind, but for some reason I didn’t want to. He gently held the small Fidelis that fit his large body with one hand, and held the lantern in the other. Still, he showed no signs of heaviness. On the contrary, a relaxed smile appeared on his lips.

He looked at Fidelis as she collapsed in my arms, and then cast another glance at her hair. His blue eyes were filled with curiosity and interest.

After a long walk, Fidelis calmed down in the gentle movements and warm body heat. His strength from hitting rock bottom was fully restored. I flinched, opened my eyes, and looked around, and saw a terrifying scene that was no different from before. She bit her lip tightly at the sight.

“Did you wake up?”

Startled by the low, pleasant voice he had never heard before, he looked up and saw a blond man with a wide smile in his eyes.

“Uh… There….”

It was clearly the man I had seen just before I collapsed. Fidelis forgot about her current situation and stared blankly at the man’s beautiful face before coming to her senses. Belatedly realizing that she was in the man’s arms, she struggled slightly, and the man tightened his grip on her even more.

“It’s too cold to just lay on the floor.”

He made eye contact with her and smiled sweetly, and Fidelis thanked him.

“Oh, thanks-”

Before he could finish speaking, a white window opened in the man’s side.

‘Window?’

Just as he introduced Russell’s name, a small window opened next to the man. Then the writing began to be engraved one by one.

“Name: Hakan Declan

Features: …….”

As I tilted my head as I stared at the words that didn’t appear behind me, a shocking word came to mind.

“Characteristic: Psychopath”

… Yes? Come again?

I was so embarrassed that I blinked my eyes and looked back and forth between the transparent screen window and the man. He smiled softly and adjusted Fidelis’ hair.

“What’s on my face?”

Sa, I think it’s a psychopath……. Fidelis shook his head emphatically, unable to say so.

And even so, what? What if you’re a psychopath?

In a place full of killers, ghosts, and monstrous creatures, psychopathy seemed normal to Fidelis. I wouldn’t feel guilty for killing someone without hesitation, but I decided to think that it would be good to wake up once I died. Suddenly, Fidelis chuckled.

‘I was afraid of being killed until just now…….

It was ridiculous that my heart changed in an instant, but it was even more amazing that there was a human being who could not change in such an extreme situation. Fidelis looked at Hakan, who was holding him securely. If this man changed his mind and killed me, I would run away from him next time.

Fidelis decided to take advantage of the situation if he could. Dying and coming back to life meant that once the curse was lifted, it would no longer happen, and one day the curse would surely be lifted. Knowing that he couldn’t get out through the door, Fidelis was determined to break the curse as soon as possible.

“Thank you, me. Can you please drop me off?”

As I was about to go down after saying something I hadn’t finished before, he regained his strength.

“Don’t your feet hurt?”

“Oh, that’s fine…….”

Looking at her already messed up feet, she blurted out that she didn’t care. It was stinging and sore, but I was more afraid of Hakan leaving me as I continued to be in the arms of others. I thought I wouldn’t be saved by anyone, but Hakan showed up like a lie.

I didn’t know anything about him yet, but I didn’t want to be alone. I’d rather be a psychopath. I wanted to be near this warm body. If I were alone, I would feel hopeless again, and I would want to die.

“Until I find my shoes, I’d better hold on to them. You can’t let them walk around barefoot.”

Speaking firmly, he smiled and handed the lantern to Fidelis.

“Can you hold this up and shine ahead instead?”

“Oh, yes!”

Holding a lantern, Fidelis illuminated the hallway.

“May I ask what your name is?”

Hakan asked, trying to ease Fidelis’ awkwardness in his arms. She hurriedly answered.

“Yes… Oh, no Fidelis!”

Hakan let out a small laugh at the cuteness of the sight.

“My name is Hakan. I think you can call me Hakan at your convenience.”

Hakan told her a lot of things to help her relax. As if his efforts had not been in vain, he gradually relaxed and she was comfortably embraced. Hakan’s smile deepened. Hakan was happy with his choice to bring her back from the fall.

“By the way, did Fidelis come in before us?”

“What?”

“I’ve never seen Fidelis when we’re all together. I can’t have forgotten it.”

He asked, smiling with the corners of his mouth raised affectionately. Fidelis’ chapped lips parched. This is the world of the game, but everyone except you thinks it’s real. I didn’t know what they would do if I told them the truth in that state.

No, they wouldn’t believe me, and they could have treated me like crazy. The game’s description said it was free to speak, but Fidelis wasn’t brave enough to take the risk.

“Yes, yes…. I joined later.”

“As well. But you must have come in a hurry. Shoes are ……. apart from clothes.”

She blurted her toes as she stared at Fidelis’ bare feet.

“He lost it while trying to escape the ghost…….”

He quickly rolled his head in an excuse, and Hakan nodded.
