How a Nuisance Character Survives in a Horror Game

 

There were human body parts tangled in the wet water, broken glass bottles, and fresh blood everywhere.

 

Even the horribly broken flamethrower and the dismantled gun.

 

The giant eyes monster burst open, flesh scattered everywhere.

 

Drrr…

 

Suriel crushed the piranha monster that rolled with his feet.

 

Crrrk!

 

Starting with his feet, Suriel’s entire body soon began to tremble.

 

The veins in his eyes bulged and his jaw tightened. As the unwinnable energy flowed out, the monsters nearby gathered and dispersed in a hurry, following the scent of blood.

 

“Who dares take my collection…”

 

Suriel’s voice rang out coldly in the drained swimming pool.

 

“Isn’t there only one person who had that gun?”

 

Someone walked behind Suriel, who was very angry.

 

Clack, clack.

 

Suriel looked back and narrowed his eyebrows reflexively.

 

The long, gray hair fluttered in the air even though there wasn’t a breath of wind.

 

When she lifted her eyelids with long eyelashes, the faded gray eyes moved as much as possible.

 

“What the hell…”

 

A very irritated voice came out between her red lips.

 

“How you take so much time for that human?”

 

Suriel furrowed his brows as if he was aggrieved, but the answer came from Dilaph.

 

“Hey! She’s not a human! She’s a fucking crazy perverted woman.”

 

The strong memory of being slapped by Evelin came back to him again.

 

The corners of Dilaph’s lips rose slightly as he rubbed his cheek. The demon, Celyr, stared at it disapprovingly.

 

Three or four people should have been dead by now. Yet only one died.

 

Even though they tried to enjoy it slowly and leisurely, their patience never lasted more than three days.

 

However, now more than three days have passed. It had already been a while since those humans came here.

 

As if that wasn’t enough, they go to sleep, waking up, eating, and taking a shower as if familiar.

 

“It’s their world, isn’t it, Ectenron?”

 

A man quietly sitting behind Celyr nodded his head.

 

His black hair was so shaggy that it covered his eyes, and he had an iron muzzle on his mouth. He was so large that he was twice the size of Celyr.

 

“You said that woman did it? How?”

 

She looked at Suriel as if she didn’t believe it.

 

Of course, he thought for a moment that she might be the strongest when getting hit with nunchucks, but…

 

‘Was this where she moved space to? What the heck…’

 

Celyr snapped her fingers in front of Suriel’s face.

 

“Are you going to leave them alone if they mess around like this?”

 

“But Holloway…”

 

When Dilaph hesitated a little, Celyr asked as if that was the problem.

 

“So don’t kill her? It’s not that you don’t want to kill her? It seems that she caught your sweet eye, huh?”

 

When she pointed out his eyes, Dilaph’s mood immediately became harsh.

 

“Fuck, I told you not to talk like that.”

 

When it comes to his eyes, Dilaph had a hard time controlling his emotions. Ectenron became restless due to the misaligned air flow between the two, and she waved her hand to stop.

 

However, the two exchanged fierce glances as if they were about to collide at any moment, as if  Ectenron weren’t there.

 

“If you don’t want to do that, don’t care about whatever I do. Holloway doesn’t care if a single human dies. After all, she could have been sent by the Empress, right?”

 

If that’s the case, Holloway will never be angry even if she kills her. A dazzling madness revealed itself in Celyr’s gray eyes.

 

“If you don’t want to kill her, I’ll take care of it. Don’t get in my way.”

 

“…”

 

“Ectenron, you too, right? You’ll follow me, won’t you?”

 

“Mm.”

 

“Suriel, you?”

 

“If only you give me that body intact.”

 

“Great.”

 

There was no need for a corpse.

 

If only she could kill Evelin, who among the humans who entered this hotel was getting on her nerves for the first time in a long time.

 

‘…Reminds me of that guy. Annoying.’

 

Celyr pushed Dilaph’s shoulder, who was blocking her path. Dilaph blocked Suriel, who followed her.

 

“Are you really going to do as she says?”

 

“You know full well what this is.”

 

“No, that’s true… but honestly, dis…”

 

“Just try to say one more word. What about my beautiful collection?”

 

“Disgusting.”

 

Crack!

 

“AAKH!”

 

Suriel mercilessly stepped on Dilaph’s feet and passed him.

 

He walked along the road, ignoring the rampaging Dilaph.

 

Celyr thought of Dilaph and Holloway.

 

One woman with whom Dilaph and Holloway had fallen for without them knowing, enough to prevent Dilaph from killing her.

 

And before she knew it.

 

‘I must kill the woman who disturbed Holloway’s heart.’

 

Whether she is the Empress’s person or not.

 

Her high heels hit the marble and fell off every time she walked. Ectenron followed behind Celyr and looked at Dilaph.

 

Dilaph shrugged his shoulders when asked why he wasn’t following.

 

“The way I see it, you won’t be able to even lay a finger on that crazy woman, though?”

 

“I guess you’ve quite taken a liking to her.”

 

Disgustingly.

 

Celyr’s disdainful eyes glanced at Dilaph, yet he didn’t care.

 

“All humans are beings that must die, though.”

 

The dark hatred buried deep inside her that couldn’t be guessed was revealed in Celyr’s eyes as she gritted her teeth.

 

***

 

[To control the difficulty of the hotel, you must increase Holloway’s favorability rating or quell the anger of the demon who is trying to kill you.]

 

Quelling Suriel’s anger?

 

But how do I quell the anger of that picky bastard?

 

I’m going crazy over the heinous quest-giving system.

 

It’s been a while since I woke up and I’m already on the verge of death.

 

Stop… If this continues, I’ll just die…!

 

If we don’t meet…

 

No, it’s not that.

 

From the beginning, the danger level had risen, so I was told that my life would be threatened no matter where I went.

 

…Let’s take a break and think first. I don’t have enough blood.

 

It was when I was about to lie down again. Something flashed on the ceiling.

 

I reflexively hugged Holloway and dodged to the left.

 

In response, a large ax fell on the spot where I was and broke the bed.

 

THUD!

 

“…”

 

“…”

 

Everyone was speechless, as if it was their first time seeing such a large axe.

 

“Sister.”

 

“Y-Yeah… You’re not hurt anywhere, right?”

 

“…Yes.”

 

[In the meantime, Holloway’s feelings become complicated as he sees you thinking of himself first.]

 

[Attachment has increased by 0.01%.]

 

Hey, do it damned properly!

 

Cursing suddenly burst out from the petty attachment. Cleta was surprised and grabbed me, helping me up.

 

“Evelin, are you not hurt?!”

 

“For now.”

 

This room was also not safe. Now, every place I stepped on became a landmine.

 

I hugged Holloway tightly. He was obviously protecting me subconsciously.

 

It doesn’t matter if you push me away unconsciously, just protect me.

 

As the hotel’s risk level was adjusted, it became even darker and more gloomy.

 

Moran felt the change and cried.

 

“Don’t you think it’s dangerous here? Let’s find another room.”

 

“First, Evelin, eat the porridge first. Your face is…”

 

Before Cleta could continue his words, Moran hurriedly brought the porridge and placed it in front of me.

 

“Hurry up and eat. Miss Evelin’s face is ridiculous.”

 

Why does Moran keep subtly pointing out my face?

 

Even after seeing my solemn face before dancing, she asked why I looked like that.

 

I poured half of the porridge into my mouth to show off.

 

Then she fed half to Holloway and half to Moran, placing the empty bowl in Cleta’s hand.

 

“…What about me?”

 

“Come on, let’s go, Moran.”

 

It’s time for us to go now.

 

I hugged Holloway and said solemnly. Holloway was calmly in my arms and grinned proudly at Cleta, as if bragging.

 

“I’m making the little guy mad.”

 

You’re not a sack of shit that can do anything just because you’re upset, so leave it alone.

 

My whole body throbbed and my butt hurt with every step I took, but I had to walk anyway.

 

“Miss Evelin, you look like you’re in pain, I will hold Holloway.”

 

“Should we do that? Then, can I link arms with Moran?”

 

Anyway, if you stay close to Holloway, you can avoid death.

 

“I’m just going to walk on my own feet and hold hands with Sister.”

 

“Shall we?”

 

I should have done that a long time ago.

 

I was the one who hugged him first, but since I love myself so much, I don’t often take responsibility for him.

 

He got out of my arms and held my hand tightly. Although I have no weapons left, I have Holloway.

 

First, we walked down the hallway with Holloway, who was like my lifeline.

 

Moran clung to me, trembling a little.

 

“…Don’t you think it’s gotten a little dark?”

 

“Are your eyes blurry?”

 

“No!”

 

In the game, the moment the difficulty level of the hotel increases or danger approaches, the atmosphere of the hotel changes drastically.

 

The good news is that there is no BGM here that makes people go wild.

 

[Would you like to play the BGM?]

 

Oh, no.

 

[Playing the BGM.]

 

I said no!

 

[Kiiiieeekh… Kieeekh… ♬♪]

 

Someone please tell this socially devoid system.

 

Just adding notes doesn’t turn the sound of a monster into a song.

 

For no reason, I walked forward with the bizarre BGM that often appears in horror games playing.

 

The clear sound of music began to get louder and louder.

 

W-With this kind of rhythm, something will come out soon.

 

The moment I looked straight ahead with a fearful heart.

 

Dang, dang, dang—

 

“Huwagkh!”

 

I-I thought my heart had dropped. Take a look at the area just a bit!

 

My heart dropped at the sudden sound of the alarm clock.

 

“W-What is it?”

 

“It’s the alarm clock, Sister.”

 

“Thank you for your kind explanation…”

 

I didn’t ask because I didn’t know that, you know.

 

At that time, the sound of shoes sounded in the darkness.

 

Is it that damned Suriel?

 

I hugged Holloway tightly.

 

“I’m suffocating.”

 

I’m sorry, but I still can’t let you go.

 

Cleta quietly spread his arms and spoke to me.

 

“Evelin, come here.”

 

Holloway seemed to think that I was going to go because he expected me to, so he hugged my waist tightly and changed his words.

 

“I’m not suffocating.”

 

“…”

 

What are you doing?

 

I had no intention of going.

 

Moran, who was turning her eyes, asked me as if she was truly curious.

 

“…Well, then why don’t we run away?”

 

“That’s because we can hear sound from both sides.”

 

“Ah…”

 

Moran no longer hugged my arms, but my body.

 

A voice rang from the end of the hallway.

 

一C-C…

 

“Moo, cow is moo.”

 

“Pffft.”

 

I could hear Cleta and Holloway suppressing their laughter up to here.

 

Moran buried her head in my shoulder and trembled.

 

I’ve never seen kids who laugh as easily as these guys.

 

Aha. Customer!

 

Are the employees of this hotel coming?

 

Tap, tap…

 

I continued to hear constant footsteps and saw their shadows emerging from the darkness.

 

I quietly opened the door in front, trying to go in.

 

[The room door is locked.]
