After the Lost Game's Boss Sets His Sights on Me

[Paranormal 1v1 pure love] Also known as "Everyone Is Lost." The main story gets pretty twisted.

In 2037, the Lost Game appeared out of nowhere. Mysterious and terrifying, it only contacted those chosen by fate.

Those it contacted all received an invitation email.

[Are you trapped in the pain of the past, unable to let go? Are you worn out with worry over an uncertain future?

Join the Lost Game and make a wager.

Succeed, and take home a generous reward.

Fail, and be lost forever.

Are you willing to risk everything and become a reckless gambler?]

[Game One: Cassette Tapes]

A vicious, deceitful ghost who only wants to seduce the top into falling, then drag him down along with her

A top in a terrible mental state, who avoids everything and can be won over with the tiniest bit of sweetness

You are a crybaby with a fragile heart and so little ability to cope that the slightest setback can make you fall apart. In your first twenty-four years, all your efforts came to nothing. You worked yourself to the bone to achieve good grades, only to be treated with contempt.

Whatever you did, people criticized you. You had the worst luck and a thoroughly miserable life.

At last, one day, you saw an email from the Lost Game. As long as you didn't become lost before the time limit, you would receive everything you had ever dreamed of when the game ended.

You accepted the wager, and a box of cassette tapes appeared at your door. If you watched all of them and your Heartbeat Value stayed at or below 60, you would win.

You played the tapes. They showed the life of a beautiful young man. He was gentle, loved reading, and played the piano. At first, he only smiled at his books. Then he smiled at you, talked with you, understood your pain, and recognized your talent.

You began to get addicted.

You also knew that when your mind grew hazy, he would reveal fangs in a state of wild excitement.

[Game Two: The Mud Idol]

A greedy, gluttonous folk-horror hungry ghost who grants wishes, with each act of worship buying another minute of life; outwardly merciful, inwardly calculating

A weary office worker, beaten soft and yielding, who will go along with anything and has a face that looks like good health

You've had terrible luck since childhood. Whatever you fought for, you lost; whatever you hoped for, you missed. You were happy for a second, then miserable for ten minutes, until you decided that life was bland and that was probably for the best.

But you had to stay alive to care for your sick younger brother. Then the Lost Game found you. If you could keep your Greed Value at or below 60 as the supernatural tale consumed you, you would receive ten billion in cash and permanent lucky charm status.

You were tempted.

This idol would grant your wishes. Ask for money, and it gave you money. Ask for an opportunity, and it gave you one. It let you get something for nothing and fed your greed.

You tried to rein yourself in, but then you saw the true face beneath its crumbling clay exterior.

[Game Three: Mr. Rabbit Head]

A terrifying fairy-tale monster, seemingly gentle and proper, whose every word entices and every action encourages

A clingy, fragile top with countless psychological weaknesses and a mischievous streak, who still likes being kept in line

You are a poor soul abandoned at an orphanage. Nobody likes you. You long for friends, for the orphanage matron to love you, for family and companionship. But you are a bad child, and you have nothing.

Then you encounter the Lost Game. If you can keep your Attachment Value at or below 60, you will receive boundless love.

You agree, and meet an adult man with a rabbit's head and a human body. He is a gentleman, elegant in his manners. He smiles, reaches out to stroke your head, tells you that you've done well, and asks what reward a good child would like.

You say nothing. You look at the beautiful hand, dressed in a white glove, and slowly press your cheek against it.

[Game Four: The Scarecrow]

A scarecrow who seems like a bloodthirsty killer but is actually a socially awkward, lazy coward

A puppy-like top who goes mad after getting lost, sweet and sickly obsessed

[Game Five: The Sackhead]

A masked battle god who is actually an escaped research subject and a villain from a comic

A top forced into a deadly escape game, ice-cold and always trying to soothe the kids

1. This is twisted pure love with a horror backdrop.

2. The monsters all look human, but their human forms are fake.

3. Everyone gets lost.
