00:13Just three hours ago, I was placing the fourth stand on the destinates' lever.
00:21The next second, I arrived in a complete moment of luck.
00:34Welcome to the Dark Citadel.
00:37Survive seven days in the castle to clear the game.
00:41Initial players, 30.
00:45Current players, 30.
00:52I should have screamed entirely.
00:57But after seeing the monsters' faces,
01:00Oh my god!
01:02You guys are just too cute!
01:06No one knew I had a perception disorder,
01:09which messed with how I saw her thoughts.
01:11So when I got dropped into a hurricane,
01:14everyone else worked out trying to survive.
01:17I thought I was in a dating set.
01:19This is my specialty.
01:34I raised a young fae like she was my kid.
01:42And treated the undead like my in-laws.
01:46Fell for the vampire count.
01:55The first time I laid eyes on a vampire.
01:57Even though his face was torn up and he was covered in blood,
02:01everyone else kept their distance.
02:04But in my eyes, he was totally my dream guy.
02:14You're really handsome.
02:17He froze.
02:19Then he withdrew his fangs and whispered in my ear in a low, husky voice.
02:29Am I really handsome?
02:40I stood in a dramatic-looking grand hall with the other 29 players.
02:46Before I could even figure out what was going on,
02:48the man had already disappeared.
02:51Then came the crying.
02:59This place is terrifying!
03:01I want to go home!
03:02It could have fooled me.
03:04Thanks to my perceptual disorder,
03:06my brain automatically airbrushed reality.
03:09The grotesquer the creature,
03:11the more beautiful it appeared to me.
03:12So for me, this place was like a comfy little bed
03:16and breakfast.
03:18While most players wallowed in panic,
03:21two figures stepped forward,
03:22calm and self-assured.
03:24They introduced themselves as veteran-made players.
03:27We were stuck in a horror game.
03:29They gave us the rundown.
03:31We were stuck in a horror game.
03:32Every player here was already dead in real life.
03:35The castle had 30 floors.
03:37Each floor had its own monster.
03:40Or monsters.
03:40The higher you climbed,
03:42the scarier they got.
03:44Fear all 30 floors.
03:46Hit the legendary 9999 points,
03:48and you got a second shot at life.
03:51On top of that,
03:52there was a massive cash prize.
03:54So much that you'd never have to work
03:56another day in your life.
03:58So how do we earn points?
04:03That depends on your fear rating.
04:16Each stage had its own challenge.
04:18If you survived a stage with a fear rating of 99,
04:21you gained one point.
04:22If your fear rating hit 100,
04:24you died and were trapped in this dimension forever.
04:27Fear rating meant how scared you were.
04:30Experienced players could breeze through
04:31with low fear ratings.
04:33Newbies, on the other hand,
04:34took long time to toughen up.
04:36I thought for a second,
04:37then said confidently,
04:38If I keep my fear rating at zero,
04:41I'll earn 100 points per floor.
04:44Reaching 9,199 will be easy.
04:49The moment I said it,
04:50the whole room turned.
04:52Are you kidding me?
04:54Meanwhile,
04:54in places I couldn't see,
04:56mocking comments were already flooding the test.
04:59There's always that one clueless newbie talking big.
05:02They're the first to screams.
05:04Big words from the wolf.
05:05Let's see if she delivers.
05:07Don't disappoint me.
05:09That night,
05:10we had to pick rooms.
05:11After dark,
05:12a monster would take the form of someone close to you
05:15and share your room.
05:16The mages explained.
05:18You would eat and rest together all night.
05:21Living with monsters,
05:23some people screamed in his heart,
05:24but most of them rushed to clean the rooms
05:26and all the other floors.
05:27I got shoved all the way to the top.
05:29Didn't you say your fear rating would always be zero?
05:32Since you're so tough,
05:34enjoy the 30th floor.
05:35One of the players looked at me
05:37with a face full of mockery.
05:38It's nothing to fear.
05:40I shrugged in differently
05:41and pushed the door open,
05:42stepping inside.
05:53I excitedly looked around the room
05:55and noticed it was a bit different
05:57from what I had imagined.
05:58This was absolutely amazing.
06:01Warm tones,
06:02soft lighting,
06:03like a magazine spread.
06:05Watching my completely unfazed reaction,
06:08the mocking live chat comments
06:09grew even more vicious.
06:10She's dead meat.
06:12The monster on the 30th floor?
06:14That's the final boss.
06:16She's not making it till morning.
06:21I was completely unaware of all that.
06:23I walked up to the bedroom door,
06:25didn't hesitate at all,
06:26knocked hard,
06:27and shouted,
06:28Hey!
06:30I haven't eaten in forever!
06:32Feed me or I'm going to pass out!
06:35The chat feed instantly exploded.
06:36Is she trying to die?
06:38Who knocks like that in a horror game?
06:40Something's going to jump out
06:42and eat her.
06:45I bet her fear rating hits 103 seconds.
06:48Let's watch her die.
06:53The next second,
06:54the doorknob turned slowly,
06:56the door creaked open,
06:57and a gust of sleep
06:58came across to answer her face.
07:00I looked down
07:01and saw a little girl
07:02in a red dress.
07:03The chat feed left length
07:04where it slipped away,
07:05and then it was flooded.
07:06And it was...
07:06And it ran.
07:07The little girl's face
07:09glowed an airy green,
07:10lips blood red,
07:11eyes hollow.
07:12She hugged a doll
07:13and flashed a perfect tooth,
07:15white smile.
07:16Mommy,
07:17you're late.
07:20Be late.
07:22Die.
07:28I froze for a moment
07:30and instinctively covered my mouth.
07:32Everyone in the chat feed
07:34thought I was scared stiff.
07:36But the next second,
07:37I suddenly let out
07:38an excited gas.
07:40I'd never seen
07:41such a cute little girl before.
07:42She looked just like
07:43a princess from a castle.
07:45You're so cute,
07:47like a tiny angel.
07:49Then she reached out
07:50with an icy hand
07:51and grabbed me by the throat.
07:53But I pulled her
07:54into a tight hug instead.
07:55Then I caught a whiff of blood.
07:57I frowned,
07:58as if realizing something,
08:00and immediately began
08:01checking her body.
08:02Did someone bad
08:03mess with you?
08:06Don't be scared.
08:07I'll take care of your wounds
08:09right away.
08:10The chat feed's
08:10lost its mind.
08:12What part of that thing
08:13screams cute?
08:13It's a blood-drenched fey
08:15that butchered
08:15half the last party!
08:17Doesn't matter.
08:18She's about to be
08:19the next snack.
08:20But I couldn't see
08:20any of that.
08:21Little cute girls
08:22like you
08:23shouldn't be out here alone.
08:24But you've got me now.
08:26I carried her
08:27into the bedroom,
08:28laid her gently
08:28on the bed.
08:30I can protect you.
08:32She fidgeted
08:33with her dress,
08:34twisting the red fabric
08:35between her fingers,
08:36and actually looked
08:37a little shy.
08:39Thank you,
08:40Mommy.
08:44Once she was calm
08:45and tucked in,
08:46that eerie voice returned.
08:49Initial players,
08:5130.
08:51Current players,
08:5220.
09:00Less than an hour in,
09:01and 10 were already gone.
09:03I grabbed my phone.
09:05The death logs
09:05were public.
09:06Everyone could see
09:07how the others died.
09:11A sword villain
09:12and a knight
09:13had gotten into it
09:13over the third floor room.
09:21The knight won,
09:22stepped inside.
09:23When a deafening
09:24crash echoed.
09:26A dragon exploded out.
09:28Jaws wide.
09:29Flames flaring.
09:30Dude was gone.
09:33The dragon yawned
09:34like it was born,
09:35then slithered back
09:36into the pitch black room
09:37like it was
09:37clocking out for the night.
09:39It happened so fast,
09:40nobody even blinked.
09:41Aside from the two mages
09:42had seen it before,
09:43everyone's fear rating
09:44shot up past 50.
09:49An old guy hit 100
09:50just stepping onto
09:51the 10th floor.
09:55Dropped dead
09:56from sheer terror.
09:59The rest of the depths
10:00were all over the place.
10:08But none of it
10:09touched me.
10:10To me,
10:11this place felt like
10:12paradise.
10:13I'd always been the outcast
10:14thanks to my busted
10:15perception.
10:16Wolves avoided me,
10:18called me a freak,
10:19even checked rocks.
10:22Monsters!
10:32Maybe staying here
10:33wouldn't be the worst thing.
10:35For a second.
10:36I thought my eyes
10:37got heavy.
10:38I knocked out
10:39next to the little girl.
10:43When I woke up,
10:44the air was colder.
10:45No lights.
10:46Just a shadow
10:47moving across the room.
10:48Then he spoke,
10:50and that voice
10:50was annoyingly attractive.
10:54You're still alive
10:55after meeting Mia.
10:56Now that's interesting.
11:02Back off,
11:03Darkblood Count!
11:04Anyone who survives
11:05the 30th floor,
11:06I'm keeping her.
11:15That vampire's
11:16crimson gaze darkened.
11:17The air snapped colder.
11:19He narrowed his eyes
11:21and clipped his hand.
11:23Mia flew like a ragdoll,
11:25smashing into the
11:26balcony glass
11:26with a loud crack.
11:29Who planted you the right
11:30to speak to me
11:31in such a manner?
11:36You really think
11:37you're my daughter now?
11:39Watching him toss
11:40my adorable knee
11:41like that.
11:41So you're
11:43the jerk
11:44who bullied Mia?
11:45Time to catch
11:46these hands!
11:48I jumped up
11:48from the bed
11:49in a rage.
11:51Then froze midair
11:53and face planted.
11:54This face
11:55was just ridiculously,
11:56unfairly handsome.
11:58Maybe it was
11:59the fall.
12:00Maybe the adrenaline.
12:02Either way,
12:02my nose started bleeding.
12:06Being around her
12:07would dull
12:07my senses.
12:08She's far
12:09too oblivious.
12:13Darling,
12:14you're really handsome.
12:16Will you be
12:17my mate?
12:18Oh my god,
12:19she's actually
12:19flirting with
12:20the final boss?
12:24everyone was
12:24waiting for him
12:25to snap my neck.
12:26But then,
12:27a faint blush
12:29bloomed on his
12:29blood-stained face.
12:30Wait,
12:31is he blushing?
12:31That's so creepy!
12:34Dark blood count
12:35stepped closer,
12:36voice low and sharp.
12:38Open your eyes.
12:39You seriously
12:40think I'm handsome?
12:43I stroked my chin,
12:44eyes trailing down,
12:45and the second
12:46I saw that
12:47sculpted chest
12:48and porcelain
12:49white skin green,
12:49my nose started
12:50bleeding again.
12:52You're not
12:53just handsome.
12:54His eyes darkened.
12:55Fang slid out
12:56at the edge
12:56of his mouth.
12:57You're tall,
12:58hot,
12:59with crazy fair skin.
13:01You're like
13:02dream guy overload.
13:05He blinked,
13:06totally thrown off,
13:08before he could
13:09snap out of it.
13:10I grabbed his collar,
13:11shoved him onto the bed,
13:12and cupped his face.
13:13I didn't hesitate.
13:14I leaned down
13:15and kissed him.
13:16Sweetheart,
13:17we've got important
13:18things to do.
13:19His lips were
13:20just as soft
13:20as I'd imagined.
13:21And then,
13:22my hands started
13:23getting a little
13:24too adventurous.
13:25His eyes went wide,
13:26stunned.
13:27That dazed,
13:28innocent look.
13:29Yeah,
13:29I was living for it.
13:32While I was still
13:33admiring the view,
13:34Mia fully reassembled.
13:37Flew in and kicked
13:38his head into the ceiling.
13:40After a loud bang,
13:41the room fell
13:42into an eerie silence.
13:44Then she curled
13:45into my arms,
13:46sniffling.
13:47Mommy,
13:48Mia is hungry.
13:51Feed me.
13:55Everyone expected
13:56me to scream,
13:57but I just gently
13:58hugged Mia instead.
13:59Because my heart
14:00was completely melted
14:01by how adorable she was.
14:03Okay, baby.
14:05I got you.
14:07Cooking was the one thing
14:08I actually had down.
14:15They cleaned their plates
14:16like it was the best meal
14:17they'd had in years.
14:23After dinner,
14:24I told them to do the dishes.
14:27And they actually did.
14:29No arguing.
14:31No drama.
14:32No drama.
14:35I crashed on the couch,
14:36munching fruit
14:37and watching a horror flick
14:38when I heard them
14:39talking in the kitchen.
14:40She's chatty.
14:42But she can cook.
14:44If she keeps that up,
14:46might be worth keeping her.
14:48What about those two?
14:49If they show up tomorrow,
14:51won't they be pissed
14:52we didn't eat their stuff?
14:54That's slop.
14:56They say one word.
14:58I'll end them.
14:59I thoughtfully averted my gaze,
15:01realizing that this is
15:02this game might actually
15:03be a bit challenging.
15:04I actually had competition now,
15:06even though they clearly
15:07liked me more.
15:09After our showers,
15:10we hit a snag.
15:12Only two bedrooms on this floor
15:13and three of us.
15:14Mommy.
15:16Mommy.
15:19Mia said,
15:21tugging at my skirt,
15:22eyes all hopeful.
15:24Mommy,
15:25forget that ugly bat.
15:27Sleep with me instead.
15:30I crouched down,
15:31pinched her cheeks.
15:33Mia,
15:34don't diss your dad.
15:36He's not ugly at all.
15:37She blinked.
15:39But everyone says we're ugly.
15:41They call me a little monster.
15:45It doesn't matter what they say.
15:47If I ever meet those jerkers,
15:49they'll find out how sharp my claws are.
15:52To me,
15:53you're the cutest little girl ever.
15:55So cut it out,
15:56all right?
15:57Okay,
15:58Mommy.
16:00Then I want to sleep with you,
16:02please.
16:04You're old enough to sleep alone.
16:07Dark Blood Count just straight up scooped her like a kitten
16:09and tossed her aside.
16:13my fleshly cleanly
16:17wrecked.
16:18Stop!
16:20They froze,
16:22standing like scolded kids.
16:26In the end,
16:27the three of us squeezed together on one small bit.
16:31Mia knocked out instantly,
16:33probably still full from dinner.
16:36I just kept tossing and turning.
16:39Eventually,
16:39Dark Blood Count broke the silence.
16:41You can't sleep.
16:45I'm just
16:46too excited.
16:50I turned to look at the Dark Blood Count,
16:52my eyes sparkling.
16:55His face slowly turned red again,
16:57but he didn't look away from me.
17:03I've always been different.
17:05What freaks others out?
17:07I think it's beautiful.
17:10The pack thought I was cursed.
17:12Called me a freak.
17:14Kicked me out.
17:17She's a monster!
17:18Cast her out of the clan!
17:31But here,
17:33with you guys,
17:34it's the first time I felt like I belong.
17:39If you...
17:41Oh,
17:42right!
17:43I don't even know your name.
17:45I don't have one.
17:47But,
17:48if you want,
17:49you can give me one.
17:51That's a big deal.
17:55Let me give it some real thought.
17:57I saw it.
17:58Just barely to the corner of his mouth.
18:00Lifted slightly,
18:01revealing fangs.
18:02The chat feed blew up.
18:06Wait,
18:07did he just smile?
18:12What the hell?
18:20I saw it.
18:22I saw it.
18:24I saw it.
18:26I saw it.
18:29I saw it.
18:31I saw it.
18:33I saw it.
18:35They must have gone through something awful.
18:37Fear ratings hit 100.
18:44Then I received a voice message from one of the mages.
18:47Mara.
18:47Yaya, are you okay?
18:51The first three days, you have to bond with your family fast.
18:56Take it as an apology for forcing you onto the 30th floor.
19:01Mara and Kyle were always nice to us new players.
19:05Everyone trusted me.
19:16Got it. Thanks.
19:19In this place, don't trust me.
19:23His face twisted. He doubled over, clutching his chest and collapsed.
19:28I lunged forward, catching him before he hit the ground.
19:33Warning. Warning.
19:35NPCs are not allowed to reveal strategies to players.
19:39Penalty activated.
19:41Immediately after, the system let out a shrill alarm.
19:44At some point, green smoke crept in without warning.
19:49The temperature plummeted.
19:51I shivered when he slipped off his cloak, wrapping it around me.
19:59Don't be afraid.
20:01He murmured.
20:02My perception glitch had me kind of...
20:05Wait.
20:06At that moment...
20:09Grandpapa and Grandma are back.
20:27It's them.
20:28The Revenants.
20:29Nobody survives past this.
20:32The door crept over.
20:33Two shriveled elders shuffled in.
20:36Little wolf, your lucky streak just run out.
20:40They crept closer.
20:42Pupils glowing green like radioactive nightmares.
20:45Once the green smoke cleared, I finally got a good look at the two elders.
20:50They looked like brittle twigs in oversized robes.
20:53One strong breeze away from crumbling.
20:55Their exposed skin was charred black, shriveled up like burnt paper.
20:59My chest tightened.
21:00I actually felt bad.
21:02I'd been that thin once malnourished, broke starving.
21:09I knew what it felt like.
21:13The old woman reached out, bony hand aiming for my neck.
21:16I caught her wrist.
21:17You're way too skinny.
21:18Bet you haven't eaten right in ages.
21:23Here, let your daughter-in-law cook you something.
21:25I dashed into the kitchen to make breakfast.
21:28You old bat!
21:31Weren't you gonna teach this new daughter-in-law a lesson?
21:36How'd she end up in the kitchen?
21:39Hold up, what's he talking about?
21:45Don't tell me you've had other wives before me.
21:51The atmosphere set in the flames, and the dark blood count's face darkened.
21:55Black energy flowed like a stone cloud, with a flick of his wrist.
21:59He flung his father out onto the back.
22:01Bone fragments scattered all across the stone railing.
22:04Of course not.
22:05Mia took care of them before they even got close.
22:14Revenant Grandpa started reassembling himself.
22:17Badly.
22:18Maybe it was age.
22:19Maybe it was his undead vision.
22:21But he slapped a leg where his arm should be, and stuck an eyeball in for a nose.
22:27Then he dragged this giant gummy sack into the kitchen.
22:34I'm the cook in this house!
22:36Where are your manners?
22:39Let's not, Grandpa.
22:41Your food is just...
22:44What do you know, kid?
22:46My cooking's a rare art.
22:50Leave the kitchen to me.
22:51You've got bigger problems.
22:52Like reattaching your limbs properly.
23:00The four monsters just stood there, staring at each other.
23:03They never expected that I wouldn't be scared at all.
23:05Even the chat feed was stunned.
23:09Wait, is the secret to winning this game just being dumb?
23:22After cooking, I realized the old man still hadn't pieced himself together, so I stepped up and offered to do
23:27it for him.
23:29Just like I figured Revenant Grandpa was mostly bones, with a few crusty organs crammed in.
23:35Good thing I used to be the Pax Healer.
23:37I knew where stuff was supposed to go.
23:39I snapped him back together like a jigsaw.
23:43Not bad.
23:46As thanks, I'll let you try my signature dish.
23:51Not something just anyone gets to taste.
23:57On the table was set.
23:58Everyone sat down.
24:00Weirdly, the food looked decent colorful.
24:02Kind of fancy.
24:03I didn't get why everyone seemed too nervous.
24:05I grabbed my fork, about to try the steak.
24:08Then caught Mia and Dark Red Count staring at me like I'd lost it.
24:19Oh, my lovely daughter-in-law.
24:21That's fresh meat I found downstairs today.
24:24Still warm. Just died.
24:27And downstairs only met one thing corpses.
24:31My stomach's off.
24:33Do you think maybe we went too wild last night?
24:38I might be pregnant.
24:40The entire room fell dead silent.
24:44The revenants lit up and started pushing Dark Blood Count to haul me back to our room to rest.
24:54He scooped me up and muttered.
24:55I nestled against him and brushed my palm lightly over his torso.
24:59What are you even saying?
25:00What are you even saying?
25:01I didn't touch you last night.
25:03If you wish to hold me now, I would welcome it.
25:10Do you like pup or little bat?
25:13Flushed Scarlet.
25:19Still didn't get to sleep with him though.
25:23The second we stepped in, he set me down and backed off.
25:28Face flushed, but eyes dead serious.
25:31I'm sorry, I can't return your feelings.
25:33One day you'll walk away.
25:35Better a clean cut now than a bloody end later.
25:41But right now, I'm your wife.
25:43I cupped his face up close.
25:45I saw it.
25:46His body was wrecked way worse than I thought.
25:49Scars everywhere.
25:50Like someone had ripped him apart and stitched him up without a second thought.
25:53Even with my weird perception, I knew.
25:56This had to hurt like hell.
25:57I couldn't help myself.
25:58I kissed him.
25:59He panicked and tried to push me away, but stopped.
26:02Don't. It's disgusting.
26:04Scared he would hurt me.
26:05I kissed him again, gentler.
26:09It's not...
26:10Not even close.
26:12My chest ached just looking at him.
26:14This must have hurt so bad.
26:17He gave a low, broken laugh.
26:19I felt nothing.
26:20I have long forgotten the sensation of pain.
26:29I faked carrying the vampire's baby to fool the revenants.
26:33To make sure my baby stayed healthy, I took over the cooking for the last two days.
26:41Only using stuff the vampire stocked in the fridge.
26:44No revenant grandpa's mystery meals.
26:55To really sell it, I started crashing in the vampire's bed.
26:59He laid there stiff like a board, too nervous to even breathe.
27:03I was just plotting how to tease this flustered golden retriever when a small pouty face popped out from under
27:08the blanket.
27:10Mia Zora turned pitch black.
27:14Mommy?
27:16What's so great about Dad?
27:18Why don't you sleep with me anymore?
27:22Dark blood counts eyes for bloodshot.
27:31Mom tried and the whole place was getting turtled.
27:35Stop!
27:37Fine, we'll all sleep together, okay?
27:39I leapt up.
27:40So we found ourselves yet again, all squished together on that tiny bed.
27:44First three days went smooth.
27:50Morning of day four, the system notification came again.
28:01Last night, I got a message from Mara.
28:04She told me I had to gather the visit cards of every monster on all 30 floors to open the
28:08interworld gate.
28:13So I would have to leave temporarily.
28:15I had just finished packing my bag when Mia ran over.
28:18Hugged me tightly.
28:19And handed me a small orb that looked like an eyeball.
28:22System flashed.
28:27Congratulations!
28:28Player received advanced item, Eye of the Fae.
28:32Mommy, take this.
28:34You have to come back safe.
28:54Before I could even get emotional, Dragon and Grandpa snapped off one of his own bones, shaped it into a
29:00cane, and handed it to me.
29:02Here.
29:03You're pregnant now.
29:05Gotta protect the baby.
29:07Revenant Granny handed over a tiny green vial full of mystery goo.
29:10This stuff's super corrosive.
29:12One drop, and it'll eat through flesh.
29:17My monster family went all out.
29:19I could barely carry all the gifts.
29:23I secretly lowered my head and wiped away the tears at the corners of my eyes.
29:28Congrats!
29:29Player received advanced item, Revenant Staff.
29:32Congrats!
29:32Player received advanced item, Corrosion Vial.
29:35He-hee!
29:38Mia shot Darkblood count a nasty side-eye.
29:42You said you'd protect Mommy.
29:44But guess you've got nothing to offer.
29:49He looked ready to snap, but then his eyes darkened like a switchblade.
29:53He pulled out his silver dagger, without a word.
29:56He drilled it deep into his own chest.
29:58He reached inside like he was searching for car keys in his guts.
30:01Then, right in front of him, he yanked out a silver cross, still pulsing with thick, dark energy.
30:07Hmph!
30:08Darkblood count stepped forward and placed it in my hands, gentle as ever.
30:12This was the first time I had ever received so many gifts.
30:15Yahya, take it.
30:17Strongest artifact in the castle.
30:19With this, no monster will dare touch you.
30:23The system flapped its wings frantically.
30:26Congrats!
30:27Player received top-tier item, Silver Cross.
30:30My eyes widened in disbelief as I watched the scene unfold.
30:34More excited than ever before.
30:39I stood there, frozen in place.
30:41Then I smacked him on the head.
30:43He'd literally pulled out his own intestines for that.
30:45I told you! Stop hurting yourself!
30:49I just didn't want anything to happen to you.
30:52Not every monster here is as chill as us.
30:56That cross.
30:58It's the one that tore me apart when I was alive.
31:01It's stronger than anything in this place.
31:03After the smack, he looked kind of sulky.
31:06I froze.
31:07Nothing's more cursed for the dead than the weapon that killed them.
31:10And he just gave me his-
31:11Totally overwhelmed.
31:12After growing up alone.
31:14Left out of everything.
31:18The four monsters walked me to the edge of floor 30.
31:21Clearly not loving the goodbye.
31:22I stood there.
31:23Arms full of high-tier loot.
31:27This was the first time I'd felt what real family warmth was like.
31:30Chat feed went off.
31:44But the game still had to go on.
31:46I hit the 29th floor and knocked politely.
31:48Door creaked open the second I touched it.
31:53Inside stood a woman.
31:55Well, half woman.
31:56Her lower half was pure snake tail.
31:58And young who made eye contact with her would turn to stone.
32:02I tried to look away.
32:04But it was already too late.
32:11Great.
32:13Another meal delivered right to my door.
32:24Her upper body was a rich voice.
32:28Her face twisted in strange, uneven eyes.
32:31It made no natural sense.
32:36But after a few seconds I hadn't turned to stone.
32:54It was Mia's magic eyeball that had protected me.
32:58The smile on her face froze as she finally noticed the silver cross in her hand.
33:02The smile on her face froze as she finally noticed the silver cross in her hand.
33:09Then she forced a tense, almost polite smile.
33:16You're from floor 30, right?
33:18Why bring something that dangerous?
33:21Here.
33:23Take the 29th floor's visit card.
33:25Most people would have freaked.
33:27Most people would have freaked.
33:27But to me she looked quite friendly.
33:29I smile.
33:32No tease invite?
33:34Don't you want to hear what happened to the people who hurt you?
33:37Truth is, when I first got dumped into this game way down on the lower floors.
33:42I didn't just sit around.
33:43While everyone else was scrambling to climb higher.
33:50I found it in the trash.
33:52A busted old newspaper stuffed between the dead.
33:55That newspaper held the truth behind the monsters in this place.
33:58And a few secrets no one else had uncovered.
34:03Chat feed had a collective brain snap.
34:07Wait.
34:07I thought she was digging through trash cause she was hungry?
34:11There were clues in that nasty garbage?
34:13The snake woman stared at me in disbelief.
34:16A pained expression flashing across her face.
34:19She snarled and lured at me.
34:21Don't tell me!
34:22I don't want to hear it!
34:24The tiny snakes on her head lashing out repeatedly in my direction.
34:29One night, she rode a taxi alone and the driver assaulted her.
34:35He sweet talked her into marriage.
34:37After that, he drained her bank account, beat her daily.
34:42Then one night, he became designer andné-
34:45Oh my god!
35:02After death, she became this mutated Medusa here.
35:06Luring scummy men, cutting them down, turning them to stone.
35:10Her hell came from men, so that is who she hated most.
35:16The man who hurt you was sentenced to death.
35:19Tears poured as she hid her face.
35:23Why did they do this to me? I never did anything wrong!
35:28I pulled her into a hug, my voice low.
35:31It was over. You can live now. Really live.
35:35She nodded through the tears, watching as I headed for the next floor.
35:53Floor 28.
35:56The player was already gone.
35:58I leaned in, careful.
36:00No reply.
36:02Hello?
36:04Anyone home?
36:05Just barking.
36:06Then it stepped on.
36:07I think it had happened.
36:09Jaws soaked in blood.
36:10One head was half destroyed.
36:12Brain matter leaking out.
36:13The moment it locked onto me.
36:15It let out a smile.
36:17I didn't finish.
36:19Not because of the awkward and the family.
36:21This time I came on with something better.
36:24Eyes glowing that eerie, hungry green.
36:26Right before its jaws hit my throat.
36:28I whipped out my secret weapon.
36:31A mega-sized chicken drumstick.
36:38I chucked it.
36:40Go, drumstick!
36:41The hellhound froze midway.
36:43And its eyes instantly changed.
36:48The next scene.
36:49The hellhound reverted to its original form.
36:52Three drooling dogs, chasing after the night.
36:55They devoured the meat as if they had not eaten their ears.
36:59While they chowed down, I knelt and dead and petted their backs.
37:05That is when I noticed the collars, scarred lines underneath where their heads had been severed.
37:10I murmured.
37:16I used to have a dog too.
37:20We wandered everywhere.
37:22If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have made it.
37:27Their owner had been an elderly woman.
37:39Her grandson ran up a mountain of gambling debt.
37:42To cover it, he stole her pension.
37:46The dogs bit his leg.
37:48He flew into a violent leech.
37:53Dragged all three to a construction site and tossed them into a cement mixer.
37:57They were torn to shreds.
38:04Even in dark, the dogs carried the guilt.
38:06They thought they'd failed their owner.
38:08And that pain twisted them into a three-headed hellhound when they reached the castle.
38:12I told them.
38:13I didn't know if they got it.
38:15The grandson got arrested for gambling crimes.
38:19No one's gonna mess with grandma ever again.
38:21But all three heads leaned in, nuzzling my hand.
38:28I couldn't stop thinking about my own dog.
38:30He was the only one I had in that world.
38:32Even if I belonged here for now, this wasn't my place.
38:35One of the dogs padded over and dropped the seventh floor's visit card into my hand.
38:39I still had revenge to take.
38:41I had to go back.
38:42Dark Blood Count's voice echoed in my head.
38:45Yahya.
38:45There was still a fluffy little one waiting for me out there.
38:49And just like that, I headed to the next floor.
38:5427th floor.
38:57The monster was a short, small-built clown.
38:59His mouth had been slid ear to ear.
39:02Stuck in a permanent, twisted grin.
39:05I knew what he was.
39:07A kid with dwarfism.
39:08Same as me.
39:11Tossed aside for being different.
39:13Desperate.
39:13Desperate.
39:14He ended up in a circus.
39:21They made him a freak show act.
39:22To get more laughs.
39:26The scumbag rolemaster carved his mouth.
39:28Onseed made his money.
39:39The kid broke his leg on the tightline.
39:49So they tossed him into the freezing night like trash.
39:54He was only 14.
39:59He could sense the powerful gear I carried and didn't dare come near me.
40:02He just cowered in the corner trembling.
40:07Don't!
40:08Don't hit me!
40:09I-I'm sorry!
40:11Please don't throw rocks!
40:13I'd never seen a monster this scared.
40:15It hit me hard.
40:17He was crying.
40:18Like the torn up corners of his mouth wouldn't let him do it right.
40:23I crouched and pulled out a fresh tomato.
40:26The clown looked up, caught my gaze, and froze.
40:29When I was a kid, they threw stuff at me too.
40:33Pebbles, tomatoes, rotten eggs.
40:36At least I could eat those.
40:38Kept me from starving.
40:41You're like me.
40:42So why don't you hate them?
40:44Wouldn't it be easier to just stay and be a monster like us?
40:49Of course I hated this world.
40:51My birth mom ditched me.
40:53I was barely hanging on when a kind old chi-wolf took me in.
40:56She died a few years later.
40:58And I was back to living like a rogue.
41:00They called me a freak.
41:02Left me out like I didn't exist.
41:04Why was I the one who had to be different?
41:06I don't understand what I ever did wrong.
41:08But I still have reasons to go back.
41:10I need to visit my foster mother's grave and feed my dog.
41:14And make the cheating bastards who killed me pay.
41:23I bet someone was kind to you.
41:26Back when you were alive.
41:29There was a dancer.
41:32She used to sneak me food.
41:34Taught me how to walk the tight life.
41:39Somewhere off screen, the chat feed was already sobbing.
41:44I kept moving floor by floor.
41:46Meeting monsters with stories as broken as their bodies.
41:49And I chose to help them.
41:51Untangle the pain.
41:53Gradually, I began to feel exhausted.
41:57When I finally returned to the 30th floor.
41:59Mia rushed over and threw herself into my arms.
42:02Mommy, I missed you so much.
42:18I missed you too.
42:24I stood there, my eyes stinging with warmth.
42:27In that moment, I felt it was all worth it.
42:32Day six hit fast.
42:34I made it to the 10th floor.
42:35Visit cards stacked deep.
42:39I even ran into two other players.
42:41Not friendly, but not dumb enough to mess with me either.
42:46The three of us reached the 10th floor together.
42:53Have you seen my mate?
42:56I didn't know who she was talking about.
42:58So I stayed silent.
43:01Why?
43:02Why haven't you come yet?
43:05I've waited so long!
43:07No!
43:09Silver crossed upward, Calgaten was floating right there.
43:16Cloaked in black mist like it had a mind of its own.
43:19It surged upward, ready to tear her apart.
43:26Stop!
43:32She's just a heartbroken girl.
43:38Betrayed by someone she loved.
43:41She used to be an alpha's daughter, forced into a political marriage with another pack.
43:45But her heart was already taken.
43:47So one quiet night, she and her lover returned to the spot where they first fell for each other.
43:52Planning to die together.
43:54She took the wolf snake.
43:55But he didn't.
43:56Now she was a unicorn.
43:58Pure.
44:00Your mate's probably still looking for you.
44:04You'll find each other again someday.
44:11Why didn't you tell her?
44:13He's with someone else now.
44:17Ever heard of a kind lie?
44:18Why?
44:21People need something to hold onto.
44:24Even if it's fake.
44:27Initial players, 30.
44:30Current survivors, 5.
44:32That meant just two players were still alive between floors.
44:36Nine through one.
44:50Hand over your visit cards.
44:52Or end up like the fools downstairs.
45:03Hand over the cards and maybe I'll let you live for old time's sake.
45:08Otherwise, you die here.
45:15So from the very beginning, Kale and Mera had been playing nice pretending to be the good guys to earn
45:20everyone's trust.
45:22Visiting monsters wasn't the only way to get visit cards.
45:25You could also just rob other players for theirs.
45:28And on top of that, killing other players was completely allowed in this game.
45:40I pulled out Mera's eyeball, Revenant Granny's potion, Revenant Grandpa's staff, and Darkblood Count's cross.
45:49So, remind me how you plan to kill me again?
45:55The second the cross moved, their magic shield shattered by glass.
46:09Thaya, we're sorry! We didn't mean it!
46:12Please, let us go.
46:16The players you killed?
46:19Did they beg too?
46:22Did you let them go?
46:41Hey, hey. Chill. I'm good, see? Not a scratch.
46:54There's still time to visit the monsters on floors 20 through 30.
46:58If they give you trouble, just say you're with me.
47:06Thank you. Thank you so much.
47:16Ensuwe split. I went down alone to collect the rest of mine.
47:20After floor 10, everything got easier.
47:23No fights. No drama. Just part after card.
47:33But the game wasn't done. I was still missing one.
47:38Still missing one.
47:40I looked up. Toward the highest floor. Every monster here had suffered.
47:45Neo was tormented by a gang of heartless kids. Kept like a toy in captivity for more than a month.
47:51Revenant Grandpa was a baby put by a truck while crossing the street. And no one even came to form
47:56his body.
47:57Revenant Granny was betrayed by her own sister, who consumed by envy, splashed acid on her face.
48:03In the Dark Blood Count, the first bone of a noble vampire bloodline, betrayed by his own brother.
48:08His body eventually torn apart and quartered.
48:16They had no one.
48:20Or worse.
48:24Killed by the ones who should have loved them.
48:36Maybe us ending up here together wasn't random.
48:41Back at the hospital where I worked, unclaimed bodies were sent to the basement morgue.
48:46Don't have families either.
48:52If there's a next life, let's be family.
48:55At least then, someone will come for our bodies.
48:59The day I was poisoned, I got assigned to clean that place.
49:02Back on the 30th floor, I shook it off fast and started laughing like nothing happened.
49:13Your two friends came by.
49:16We gave them their visit cards.
49:22For today, let's be a real family.
49:29After dinner, Revenant Granny flicked her hand.
49:31And the sky exploded with shooting stars.
49:33They lit up the heavens.
49:41And my eyes.
49:44Count wasn't looking at the sky.
49:46His eyes were on me.
50:07Can I kiss you?
50:12I really couldn't stand how slow he was being.
50:15Tiptoed up.
50:16Yanked his collar.
50:17And bit down on his lips.
50:19But two minutes in.
50:20I was gasping.
50:22Face burning.
50:23I shoved him off.
50:24He just smiled like the troublemaker he was.
50:34After our moment together, he slipped a card into my hand.
50:39Card 30.
50:40Done.
50:42The full image snapped into place.
50:44A pitchfork doors through addiction.
50:46Congrats!
50:47You've collected all visit cards from Dark Cisadel.
50:50At 11pm, the Interworld Gate will appear.
50:53Surviving players, bring your family to the first floor to exit.
50:57Miss the window, and you're stuck here for good.
51:01At 11 sharp, my family clutched my hands as we hit the first floor.
51:13The empty hall held only three black doors, each bound with chains and fitted with different locks.
51:18My door had four locks.
51:20The healers, two.
51:22Dragon tamers, one.
51:27I turned to look at my family, an expression of disbelief spreading across my face.
51:31Only at this moment did I finally understand what the keys really were.
51:37No, this isn't what I wanted!
51:42Each door had a player's name on it, with their fear level right underneath.
51:47Mine was the only one at zero.
51:49The other two were both over 90.
51:52That creepy voice slithered back, this time smug.
51:55So, dear players, would you like to offer the keys to unlock the Interworld Gate?
52:00You have one last hour, until midnight.
52:03After that, you'll be trapped here forever.
52:05I only had one key, the one to my place on the 30th floor.
52:09Didn't match.
52:10These locks were heart-shaped.
52:11Mine didn't fit.
52:13I turned to Darkblood Count and grinned.
52:15Guess I'm stuck here.
52:17Looks like you're stuck with me forever.
52:21Yaya, did you figure something out?
52:23Is that why you're staying?
52:25If you do, you'll end up like us, ugly, twisted.
52:28Don't you love me?
52:29Don't you want us to be together forever?
52:31He shook his head.
52:32It's because I love you, that I won't let you lose yourself.
52:36You said people are waiting for you.
52:38You have to go back.
52:48Then, he raised the sharp cross and slammed it into his own chest.
52:57Pulled out a heart.
53:03And shoved it into one of the keyholes.
53:06So what the locks truly required were the monster's hearts.
53:10Hearts overflowing with love and happiness.
53:13The dragon tamer raised his sword.
53:15Ready to rip out the dragon's heart.
53:18But inside was just a cold, black lump.
53:21Seven days and not a shred of real joy.
53:23That was the dungeon's final trick.
53:25He snapped, screaming.
53:27What's the big deal?
53:28It's just a heart.
53:30I've got one too.
53:33He grabbed the healer and slammed her into his door.
53:38The second she touched it, black smoke coiled around her and swallowed her whole.
53:45Not even dust left.
53:47I couldn't stop him fast enough.
53:54But before he could smirk, a hydra exploded out and snapped his head clean off.
54:01Blood sprayed.
54:03Meat chunks flew.
54:06The voice sneered.
54:08That's what happens when you break the rules.
54:11Remaining players, please make your choice as soon as possible.
54:18Just four of us left.
54:20Mommy, hug me one more time, okay?
54:22Mia peeked up, arms lifted.
54:24My nose burned.
54:25I dropped to my knees and hugged her tight.
54:27I don't want you to go either.
54:29But I want you to live.
54:30I never had a family.
54:32I'm still waiting for you to visit my tomb.
54:38Mommy, please be happy.
