I Fell in Love at First Sight with an NPC in a Horror Game

What happens when you end up in the world of your favorite NPC, only to find yourself in a horror instance?

Throne is a relatively obscure horror survival game, and Shen Yu happens to have fallen for one of its most obscure characters, Edwin, the duke's personal valet. He's just an ordinary guide NPC who appears only when players move from the basement map to the manor's first floor.

To see Edwin more often, Shen Yu worked like crazy and painstakingly maintained his expensive game pod. Then he was laid off and had no choice but to uninstall the game. Just when Shen Yu thought he'd never see Edwin again, he was pulled into the real Throne Manor…

Manor Rules:

1. The manor has a strict hierarchy. Please do not overstep your station.

2. You must show the manor's owner what you are worth.

3. The manor provides guests with one free meal each day.

4. Guests are advised not to leave their rooms at night.

[Welcome to Throne Manor. The manor boasts uniquely beautiful scenery, and the people who live here are simple and kind. They are delighted to welcome you, our guests from afar. We hope you enjoy your stay.]

There are senile sea monsters, paintings that eat people, and servants who harvest organs…

Shen Yu: …You call that simple and kind?

Everyone else braves the instances to find clues, survive, and escape. Shen Yu's goal is to survive, then pursue an NPC.

And this valet seems to like him too. Every time they meet, he gives him an item, then another item, then yet another item. D-rank, E-rank, never even a C-rank item. Shen Yu looked at the F-rank chocolate he'd already bitten into, then turned and gave it to the other man. Perfect, they're evenly matched. Neither of them looks down on the other.

Until his life was on the line, and Shen Yu picked up the D-rank valet menu and smashed apart an iron lock that even an S-rank item couldn't damage. Shen Yu looked at the wrecked lock, then at the D-rank menu, which didn't even have a dent in it.

Shen Yu: ...This makes no sense!

His teammates couldn't take it anymore and tried to talk sense into him again and again: Boss, wake up! He's a supernatural entity! And besides having a handsome face, what else is he good for?

Shen Yu: Yeah, I'm shallow.

His teammates: …

1v1, both leads are each other's only partners. The bottom is love-struck, and the top is a real supernatural entity.

Plot and romance go hand in hand~
