[Survival Guide to the Old Castle]

"3. The young lady is a gentlewoman. Any disrespectful behavior in her presence is strictly forbidden.

Ding-a-ling!

The doorbell rang. A new guest had arrived.

"Miss, a gentlewoman should not wander outside her room after nightfall." The butler in a black tailcoat grinned from ear to ear, so excited he could barely keep up his disguise.

She gave a quiet "Mm," thinking:

Reader's Guide:

1. The heroine is only nine years old. She lives in a mad world, and has lived there for a long time, so her understanding differs from that of ordinary children.

2. The story is divided between a mad world and a world being invaded by madness. Players will appear, coming from the latter, with the goal of clearing the game and returning to the normal world. There will be livestreams, and this is an unconventional infinite-flow story.

3. It includes ghosts and supernatural phenomena, rule mysteries, Western-style horror, and a mix of other elements.

4. This story is entirely fictional. Please do not make assumptions about its genre or label it. Writing advice is politely declined.
