The first sign that something was wrong was when every student at school had an exam on the same day.
Jun Yue chewed on her pen, completely baffled. It was the first time she'd ever had an elective exam during the day.
Then she picked up the paper and saw the question:
[Write down the five tastiest parts of the human body :)]
The pen slipped from Jun Yue's mouth. "...?"
A moment later, as the student behind her stared in horror, Jun Yue began scribbling furiously.
It dawned on her: the movie they'd watched in Classic Film Appreciation had been a horror film!
Jun Yue, horror movie enthusiast, lamented bitterly: If only she'd known, she wouldn't have skipped class!
Later, the bell rang, and a monster covered in countless eyeballs began hunting them, devouring one student after another who hadn't finished the exam.
When it reached Jun Yue, it looked at her completely filled-in paper and, without thinking, met the bewildered Jun Yue's eyes.
Under the gaze of the monster's countless eyes, Jun Yue screamed, squeezed her eyes shut, and flailed wildly. "Holy crap! You're so ugly! Aaaah!"
The monster: "?"
Have you no manners?
Five seconds later, the monster crashed to the ground.
[Congratulations, Candidate Jun Yue, you have awakened the talent: Divine Brush!]
Jun Yue calmly looked down. An ordinary ballpoint pen, covered in some unidentified liquid, had grown iron fists and was showing off its bulging muscles.
Jun Yue screamed, squeezed her eyes shut, and covered her ears. "Holy crap! You're so ugly! Aaaah!"
This is a real exam. Fail, and you die.
Dear candidates, you're on your own.
My take on a mildly Lovecraftian horror survival game, with an unbeatable, badass heroine who solves problems with her team and finds time for a romance along the way.
