I Thought I Was Just Playing a Horror Game

Chi Yun is a horror game streamer.

Her streams used to be a hit, but lately her viewers seem to have grown tired of her persona as a timid girl who loves to scream.

After much soul-searching, Chi Yun decided to change her style. She might have been born a coward, but after playing horror games for so long, she was practically immune to them. It was just a game, not real life. What was there to be afraid of?

Just then, the full-dive horror game Tower of Sin opened its beta test, and Chi Yun eagerly signed up.

But Chi Yun was so focused on changing her streaming style that she failed to realize… Tower of Sin wasn’t a horror game. It was the real world.

Chi Yun let loose and turned the horror game into a vacation. After happily spending a month or so in the game, she finally remembered that she needed to log out, but she couldn’t find the logout button. She searched the entire game system and found only one option: “Game Forum.”

Curious, she clicked on it and read through the posts. Then she froze.

What? If a ghost kills you, you really die?

What? None of the people watching her livestream are human?

What? There’s an NPC who’s incredibly handsome but extremely vicious. He has a red mole beneath his right eye, and if you see him, you must never speak to him?

Chi Yun silently closed the forum page.

She lowered her head and locked eyes for three seconds with the female ghost she had just beaten black and blue, who was now trying to crawl away. The ghost hadn’t killed her; she had nearly beaten the ghost to death…

She opened her livestream and looked at the viewers she chatted and joked around with every day. The screen was full of messages: [What do we do? She found out! There goes my fun!]…

Then she turned to look at the handsome boyfriend behind her, who was pitiable and delicate but had a huge appetite. Hmm, he really did have a red mole beneath his right eye…

At last, Chi Yun let out a scream for the first time in ages.
