How a Nuisance Character Survives in a Horror Game

 

Evelin, who was pale, clutched her chest and was breathing heavily.

 

“

Gasp, gasp

…”

 

The floor of the space where the water drained was completely covered in blood. Body parts from broken glass bottles were scattered everywhere.

 

Evelin was a little bewildered when she saw the scene.

 

‘It’s different from the game. Is this hotel’s Suriel more vicious?’

 

She thought she was good at watching the gore genre, though.

 

Evelin couldn’t stand the vivid body parts and the odor coming from her.

 

“Uuugh…!”

 

She was so nauseated that she hurriedly covered her mouth.

 

How many times does she have to do this?

 

How many times are left?

 

Even though she didn’t want to cry, her eyes got hot as tears poured out.

 

Is it because she barely survived because she put all her effort into it?

 

Evelin found it difficult to think normally.

 

Unaware of Evelin’s despair, the quest success window appeared before her eyes.

 

[09th ‘Free Me’ story success!]

 

Although she pretended not to, this time she really almost died.

 

The throbbing pain throughout her body didn’t go away.

 

The fresh blood that covered Evelin’s body like water, she could feel her vitality draining away.

 

Evelin’s body was trembling pitifully due to her fear and horror, as well as the excessive blood loss.

 

Someone walked towards Evelin.

 

Evelin lifted her head as the bad smell disappeared and something smelled nice.

 

Before she could look in front of her to see who the other person was, a white cloth covered Evelin’s eyes.

 

Evelin, startled, grabbed the hands and tried to pull them away.

 

“W-What! W-Who…”

 

“Shh.”

 

Evelin stopped her actions at the sound of that voice.

 

She couldn’t forget the low and sweet voice even if she wanted to.

 

‘It’s Holloway…’

 

For some reason, her trembling body calmed down a little.

 

Even though Holloway was clearly the most dangerous person in the hotel, Evelin unconsciously felt relieved upon seeing him.

 

She reached out her hand to Holloway.

 

Holloway stared at Evelin’s hand as it was waving in the air, then slowly held it as if wrapping his hand around hers. A desperate hand without even knowing what his identity was, or the corners of her lips that turned up as if she was relieved.

 

It was very satisfying to see her clinging to him as if he was the only one.

 

“Do you know who I am that you’re so defenseless?”

 

Despite saying that, he gently stroked the back of Evelin’s hand.

 

She thought back to the warning in the system window again and pretended not to notice.

 

“The person who saved me back then… aren’t you?”

 

“…”

 

Holloway said nothing.

 

He just quietly looked down at Evelin.

 

Evelin swallowed her dry saliva in that silence.

 

‘I can’t tell what he’s doing because I can’t see anything… ’

 

Her thoughts couldn’t be finished.

 

His hand grazed Evelin’s thigh. Her body flinched at that moment of contact.

 

“…”

 

Did she feel it wrong?

 

However, as if Evelin wasn’t mistaken, Holloway’s hand clearly grazed her waist this time.

 

The movement stopped for a moment as she lifted her shoulders in surprise.

 

Just for a little while.

 

Again, the long, cold hand traced Evelin’s neck and shoulder line and stopped near her clavicle.

 

Perhaps because she was blindfolded, her sense of touch became more sensitive than usual.

 

As Evelin’s body trembled unconsciously at the touch of his hand, he quietly opened his mouth.

 

“You’re sensitive.”

 

Her body responded to his single touch.

 

The outline of Evelin’s slender body was clearly visible through the water-soaked negligee that clung to her body.

 

When he couldn’t take his eyes off her fascinating figure, he heard Evelin’s trembling voice.

 

“…That.”

 

Isn’t that inevitable?

 

She couldn’t even reply, yet his hand didn’t stop.

 

This time, he gently traced the jawline of Evelin’s face.

 

“Why, why…”

 

As she asked without being able to hold back her tears, Holloway’s calm voice pierced her ears.

 

“It’s just. Are you cold?”

 

“…Pardon?”

 

“You’re shivering.”

 

Does it look like I’m shivering because it’s cold?

 

Can’t you see my blood leaving my body right now?

 

‘And you keep…’

 

When Evelin couldn’t help but bite her lip, his hand touched her lower lip this time.

 

As her soft lips touched his index finger, Holloway felt his body heat up with an unknown, strange sensation.

 

[Possessiveness has increased by 5%.]

 

“Or is it not that. Are you shaking like this at the gesture of my hand?”

 

“I-If you tell me why you’re doing this…”

 

[Possessiveness has increased by 2%.]

 

Evelin felt serious and pursed her lips as the window was clearly visible even though her eyes were covered in cloth.

 

His possessiveness began to rise.

 

“It doesn’t seem bad for your body to tremble at the touch of my hand.”

 

What kind of taste is that, though.

 

In the strangely flowing atmosphere, Evelin stuttered and lifted her hands, holding his hand tightly with both hands.

 

Since she couldn’t see, she couldn’t infer what kind of expression he was making, which was frustrating for her.

 

“Can’t I please take off the cloth?”

 

“Yes, you can’t. You’re still too weak to look at me.”

 

What weak.

 

Are you saying I have to prepare my heart to see you?

 

‘Ah, right, I have to.’

 

Holloway’s delusion wasn’t something he could control.

 

Everyone looked at that beautiful figure in fascination.

 

Especially if they were humans, they couldn’t overcome the deception and fell for Holloway, rushing at him.

 

Therefore, Holloway didn’t show himself to humans unless it was time to kill them.

 

Although it was fine when he looked like a child, what he looked like was a problem.

 

When he had to appear in front of humans, Holloway would cover his eyes with bandages or wear a veil.

 

Otherwise, he blindfolded the other person. Like Evelin.

 

Of course, Evelin is the first to whom he does that.

 

Evelin felt frustrated when it became quiet for a moment. The adult version of Holloway was more difficult than when he was younger.

 

Although he couldn’t point it out, somehow…

 

“You’re dying.”

 

“Ah… Please save me.”

 

Holloway let out a low laugh as he saw Evelin immediately begging for her life.

 

“Of course. I have to save you.”

 

However, that friendly voice was cold as if it had never been that way.

 

“Instead, if you answer what I ask.”

 

‘…I’m anxious.’

 

Evelin asked, her voice trembling as fear enveloped her body.

 

“W-What…”

 

“How did you do it?”

 

“What?”

 

“Space movement. You definitely moved, right?”

 

“…”

 

“How did you do it?”

 

She couldn’t give any answer. Looking at Evelin’s slightly parted lips, Holloway picked her up and sat her on his thighs.

 

He could feel Evelin’s body stiffening with tension.

 

“Why did you move here and mess up Suriel’s collection?”

 

At first, he thought she might have been moved by mistake due to the hotel’s magic.

 

But even with that in mind, he was very suspicious of Suriel’s collection lying around.

 

Not only that, but the fact that the space she moved to was on the 5th floor wasn’t enough, so she went into Suriel’s room and destroyed everything?

 

There was something about it that made it difficult to call it a coincidence.

 

It’s hard to pinpoint something, yet Holloway’s intuition pointed out to him that it might not be the only thing.

 

“If you can’t come up with a good excuse, I recommend not answering in the first place.”

 

It was intimidating, but Evelin basically had a thick face on her face.

 

She had a feeling that she would always be suspected of something like this.

 

So she was able to act more skillfully than she thought.

 

“I-I don’t know. I was suddenly moved and I just opened the drain cover to survive!”

 

She was Evelin, who looked really wronged. After a moment of silence, Holloway lightly nodded.

 

“That’s usually the case.”

 

Holloway completely disbelieved the performance and excuses.

 

How could he hear the truth, though.

 

He casually placed his face on top of Evelin’s head.

 

Even at that slightest touch, she was startled and flinched.

 

“But why are you suspicious, I wonder.”

 

[Holloway begins to suspect you.]

 

[Holloway’s danger gauge increases by 20.]

 

Although the number rose sharply in an instant, Evelin didn’t lose her composure.

 

“Once you think something is suspicious, everything else is suspicious. Have a gentle heart.”

 

Holloway, who was suddenly pointed out about his own mentality, was at a loss for words.

 

He had never been pointed out by anyone for his personality, so Holloway changed the subject without realizing it.

 

“You’re suspicious, yet there’s no evidence…”

 

“Why are you so suspicious of me?! We’ve only met twice!”

 

Evelin, who was annoyed by the continued suspicion, simply waved her hand in the air.

 

Slap!

 

She hit Holloway squarely in the chest.

 

“…”

 

He was silent, and his silence made Evelin feel that she had hit a bad spot.

 

“Mm.”

 

“…”

 

“It’s because I can’t see it. I didn’t do it on purpose.”

 

“…”

 

Hey, I didn’t do that on purpose! Are you upset?!

 

Evelin shouted in her mind and pretended to be calm, yet Holloway could roughly guess what she was thinking through that small head.

 

Holloway let out a low laugh.

 

[Holloway’s mood improves.]

 

[The danger gauge starts from 0!]

 

Even in that brief conversation, Evelin made people really excited.

 

Then, shall he pass it by this time?

 

Holloway decided to take his time. What was overflowing was time.

 

“Great. I guess it’s still early.”

 

What is it, you bastard.

 

Whether Evelin muttered awkwardly or not, Holloway was now completely focused on her.

 

“Anyway, it was nice that I came, right?”

 

“…Yes? Well, what do you mean.”

 

Although she was trying to hide it, Holloway clearly saw Evelin’s face, happy to know that someone was there.

 

He soothed Evelin in a softer voice than ever before.

 

“You were very scared, weren’t you?”

 

“Yes.”

 

Because honestly, she was scared.

 

He swiped her wet hair.

 

Unlike his quiet threats earlier, Holloway had become infinitely kinder.

 

The corners of his eyes were captivatingly curved, and the blood-red pupils within them shone brightly with a madness of unknown depth.

 

Holloway’s deep desire seeped out and irritated the skin of Evelin, who was unable to see past her cloth-covered eyes.

 

As she flinched at the unexpected sensation, his hand wrapped around her neck.

 

‘It’s cold.’

 

Her body automatically trembled at the cold touch.

 

She wasn’t this cold just a moment ago.

 

Holloway’s fingertips brushed Evelin’s pale cheek.

 

As he tilted his head, his silver hair flowed down.

 

A red tongue came out between the lips and swept over them as if to taste.

 

As if he was thirsty, like that.

 

As if that tongue would lick the nape of Evelin’s neck.

 

“You understand better now, right?”

 

[Possessiveness has increased by 11%.]

 

‘…?’

 

Evelin was taken aback by the shame and lack of decency.

 

His lips touched Evelin’s ear as his hot breath slowly enveloped her.

 

His low voice whispered seductively.

 

“What happens if you’re not next to me.”

 

[Possessive desire explodes in an instant!]

 

[ヽ(゜◇゜)ノPossessiveness increases by 20%! ヽ(゜◇゜)ノ]

 

[Favorability: 10.5%

 

Attachment: 11%

 

Possessiveness: 50.2%]

 

[There is a difference of more than 20% in attachment and possessiveness!]

 

[Please lower his possessiveness quickly!]

 

W-Wait.

 

Seeing the explosion of possessiveness, Evelin struggled to escape. Holloway let her go.

 

Flutter!

 

Evelin fell helplessly to the floor as her supporting strength disappeared.

 

Just as she was about to get up, her body stiffened.

 

As she felt something cold near her neck.

 

[If the possessiveness level cannot be lowered, ‘Beautiful Stuffed Evelin’ will begin.]

 

“Evelin.”

 

Holloway’s voice was so sweet that it was hard to believe that he was pointing a sword at her neck.
