Rule Horror: I Slaughter My Way Through the Instances by Playing a Role

Pulled into a rule-based horror scenario? Don't panic. Draw a character card first.

[Transfer Student]? I'll play it. [Intern Nurse]? I'll play it. [Ghost Wedding Bride]? I'll play that too.

The more convincingly you act, the longer you live. Wait, why are all these scenarios my life?

Su Jiuli is an acting student who grew up in an orphanage. By chance, she becomes bound to the [Thousand Faces Roleplaying System]. In these scenarios, the rules kill without shedding blood. Break them and you die; follow them and you might still not survive. While others rely on brute force, she makes a name for herself through her acting.

As a transfer student, she tricks NPCs into giving her information. As an intern nurse, she switches the medication and kills the boss. As a sacrifice, she offers the priest to an ancient god.

Then she discovers that the woman in the red dress in the school's bloodstained rules died trying to protect her, and was her older sister; the director of the haunted hospital is the caregiver who abused her years ago; and the groom in the ghost wedding scenario is the being who wants to "take her away."

Every scenario is a fragment of her memory. Every boss knows her.

And the man who calls himself the "Director" has a face identical to hers. "I'm another you. Now it's time to choose: become me, or... become the rules themselves."
