I started dating Tomie.

Not because I particularly liked him. On the contrary, I hated him.

He was vain and bossed everyone around, playing them all in the palm of his hand. Even so, everyone still fawned over him and was utterly infatuated with him.

I couldn't stand it, so I confessed to him too.

My real goal was to become the first person ever to dump Tomie and play him in the palm of my hand, earning a place in school history.

My plan was going perfectly.

He accepted my confession.

The bad news was that Tomie died the day before I planned to break up with him.

*

I spent all night having nightmares, preparing myself to accept Tomie's death.

But the next day, Tomie appeared right in front of me. His breathtaking, otherworldly face was full of wounded reproach as he demanded to know why I hadn't shown up at our agreed meeting place last night.

How could this be!?

I had seen it with my own eyes the night before. The boy's snow-white body, like an ivory sculpture, had been chopped into pieces by those crazed people, and each of them had taken a different piece away.

I stumbled backward in fright, but the boy kept advancing. His black eyes seemed to hold boundless magic, though his smile never reached them. He cornered me against the wall.

He tilted his head and asked innocently, "Mei, what are you afraid of? Didn't you take my little finger last night?"

"I understand now. You must love me so much, Mei, that one finger wasn't enough, right?"

"My eyes, tongue, lips, or maybe my heart... Which one do you want, Mei? Or do you want them all? You're so greedy, Mei... but I like that~ Be even greedier... Mei~"

#This is bad, this is bad! I want to break up, but my boyfriend seems to have turned into a monster. What do I do?

#Waiting for answers, and I'm in a hurry!

*"[Horror Crossover] Stardew Valley, but with a Horror Mod" by Chang Zhou Ru Fen*

You're a longtime fan of farming games. On the recommendation of your best friend, you pick up the latest hit, Stardew Valley, ready to experience the simple life of a farmer in a small town, working around the clock, and escape the city's nine-to-nine grind.

You can't wait to jump into the game

But unlike the beautiful, peaceful countryside shown in the game's promotional art, this place is full of gloomy, horrifying sights.

A dilapidated, desolate, ancient longhouse, where hoarse, rasping sounds that clearly aren't human can be heard as you pass by.

A moon from hell, glowing an ominous blood-red. It opens its eyes while the player sleeps, shamelessly and greedily watching your every move.

When you wake in the morning, a human head hangs from the mailbox like a balloon, with a card tied beneath it that wickedly declares its love for you…

Plants inexplicably turn into spirals, people become snail-folk and crawl through the farmland, and strangely shaped corpses occasionally wash ashore beyond the town…

At this point, you can choose to

A. Max out your combat skills, convinced that all fear comes from insufficient firepower!

B. Log out! Log out right now! If you've played for less than three hours, immediately request a refund from the publisher and leave a one-star review.

Without a word, you pick up your axe and diligently start chopping down the trees around you.

Want to get rich? Chop trees first.

No one can stop a farmer from farming!

*

Just when life has finally gotten back on track and your farm is thriving, a once-in-a-century typhoon arrives as promised and destroys the fields you've spent a whole season cultivating, just when they were about to yield a harvest.

Achievement unlocked: [A Despairing, Helpless Farmer]… As if!

Furious, you decide to delete your save and start over. But that's when you discover, to your astonishment, that the log-out button is gone.

The! Huge! Log! Out! Button! Is! Actually! Gone!

And at some point, your future marriage candidate has snuck into your house. His still, fathomless eyes are like whirlpools, filled with an impenetrable darkness.

"...I like your mermaid pendant. I accept your proposal. So you can't leave me, okay?"

You: !!!

Wait, how did he get the pendant from your storage chest?!
