[Infinite Flow · Rule Horror · Cthulhu · Ensemble Cast]
As the elevator plunged toward the eighteenth level of hell, Shen Wang signed a contract, paying with his fear.
From then on, his heart didn’t race when evil spirits pressed their faces against his, and he didn’t even furrow his brow at the whispers of eldritch gods. While his teammates screamed, he studied the rules. While they fell apart, he pieced together the clues. When they made sacrifices, he stayed as cool as a blade.
Everyone thought he was insane. Only the goat-headed man knew the truth: sacrificing fear wasn’t a blessing. It was a curse.
When the unspeakable being in the depths of the theater opened its eyes, Shen Wang was the only one who wouldn’t look away.
Because his fear had long since been taken from him, along with his right to run for his life.
If fear is a currency, then he’s already bankrupt.
And those who are bankrupt have no choice but to become the door themselves.
“The theater’s curtains are already open, my friend. Come on in and take a seat. Come see how a man without fear puts on a farce, pitting himself against the gods.”
