The Eerie Dating Game [Infinite]

You wake up to find yourself in a locked room, facing a badly injured man.

His head hangs slightly. Both his hands are cuffed in chains, and restraints bind his chest, waist, abdomen, and legs. His breathing is extremely slow, as if he could die at any moment.

Without a moment's hesitation, you chose C!

The beginner item's light flared. A chill ran down your spine as you met a pair of eyes so cold they sent a shiver through you.

The male lead had woken up.

The paranormal descended, and everyone was automatically bound to a System. Based on each person's traits, the System assigned them different tasks.

Some people drew a fan-voting System. As they fled monsters, they also had to meet the audience's bizarre demands to clear the game.

Some drew a train System. They would live aboard a single train car forever, and every time it pulled into a station, they faced a fight to the death.

Some drew...

-

And you drew a romance System.

[Before the story begins, I'll flesh out the blurb and change the title as well.]

[I'm terrible at naming things. Every time I pick a name, I refresh the name generator at least a hundred times...]
