Episode 52
Episode 52: Horror Game
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… … This bitch… … .”
As expected, it doesn’t fall down in one hit. Do you have scales on the back of your head? However, after receiving an unexpected blow from a blind spot, he completely lost his balance and flinched with his head against the window.
“Hey, Leo!”
“Ugh!”
He tried to adopt an attitude that said, ‘I won’t be fooled!’ But this time I was half a beat faster.
“Watch out for the windows!”
[lock]
This is truly a magic with a very, very great effect.
When you cast this spell, you can close doors or windows at a close distance.
Isn’t it amazing? It is a level 0 magic.
Bah!
However, even with this type of magic, if you apply more than a certain level of magical power, you can unleash incredible speed and power.
The window closes with excitement and hits the leopard on the head.
If I had put my finger on it clumsily, it would have been cut off.
After hitting his head on the window frame, Fahd fainted without even being able to scream and fell down the window.
“What is this!”
Kwazizig!
The sound of a curtain call coming from below. Well, it looks like he’s still putting up a good fight.
When I approached the window and looked down, I saw the leopard’s body cut in half.
I can’t see the curtain call? As I expanded my detection range, I found myself beyond the fence. Why is it there? Ah, I see.
It’s time.
A bright blue light flashes outside the hospital.
Kwaaaaaaaaaa!!!
As the third magic circle was completed, the prepared [Lightning] appears to have activated.
The test subjects who clumsily come outside to chase the curtain call are caught by lightning and are charred.
“A lot of people died.”
They say they were all human before, but they are all trashy, homicidal criminals.
Leopard is also a guy who eventually became an irreversible pleasure killer due to his naturally cruel nature and the madness he gained from repeatedly working as a fixer.
And after falling for Helisti’s coaxing claims that it was an opportunity to strengthen his body and launder his identity, he ended up committing himself to a crazy modification experiment.
Anyway, we’ve defeated the mid-boss, so now we just have to be careful of one guy, right?
‘That idiot is more dangerous than everyone here combined.’
Defeating the mid-boss means that there are still bosses left.
The name is Je Mu-gyeong.
If you just be a little careful about that kid, the rest are idiots who only look a little unusual and can’t do their job.
‘I’m sure they didn’t move somewhere else because of the noise, right?’
I sense a sinister form of eerie magic on the third floor where I am standing. That guy is still on the third floor.
‘Let’s see… … .’
If possible, let’s organize what we can at this point.
I put the stealth spell on myself again and leaned out the window.
Just then, five test subjects are coming out of the hospital.
The way they each hold their weapons and move in line is quite poised.
The snipers on the third floor were at a terrible level, but they still seem to be having fun.
“What, where are you going?”
The test subjects moved in a direction outside of my expectations. I thought they would move in the direction of the curtain call and tried to provide cover… … .
The direction they were moving was in the direction of the magic circles I had created.
“aha.”
While the curtain call was out of sight, they moved to catch the wizard. It’s the right strategy. If there really is a wizard there.
I’m sorry, but there is no one in the area you are approaching.
Instead, there are only two magic circles I installed left.
It doesn’t matter whether you approach there or not… … .
Rather, it is very good timing.
Reach out the window and remotely manipulate magic circles far away.
‘It’s a bit far away, so complex operations may be difficult, but I guess I can send magical energy anyway.’
What usually happens when a spell fails?
Magical power may flow back and the wizard may be injured, or a completely different result than intended may occur.
‘or… … A huge explosion may occur due to an overload of uncontrolled magical power.’
Although it is difficult to precisely give it new properties, it is possible to overload it by pouring in magical power.
It was unfortunate that two magic circles were blown away, but the pattern had already been read anyway.
If it’s going to be pointlessly wasted, it’s better to take a big hit.
Forcibly twist the shape of the magic circle.
Two magic circles with conflicting properties interfere with each other… … Creates a fatal repulsive force.
Pajik, Pajijik, Pajik!
‘Come on, explode…’ … .’
Quaaaaaaa!!
A huge explosion was created along with a flash of light. The windows shake from the impact. Ugh, did it explode worse than I thought?
All of the test subjects who had bravely pushed in were completely dead and lying on the floor.

‘Oh, it’s really sturdy.’
Still, they are tough enough to push their bodies into places where they think the wizard is.
The body itself may have been remodeled to be strong, but it did not die.
Because it’s squirming little by little… … . If I’m lucky, I’ll live.
The magic that activates at regular intervals is now over. That’s why I form a new magic for the curtain call.
[Lerie’s Fog]
Googgggggggg… … .
White fog begins to rise from all directions. A magical fog of unrealistic density covered the entire hospital. The test subjects on the first floor will no longer be able to tell what is coming beyond the fog or where to attack.
And that ambiguity will bring about feelings of fear.
[The unique function of the L-class accessory ‘Carcosa’s Mask’, ‘Yellow Dominance’, is activated.
// Yellow Dominance: Adds the effect of ‘Spell Strengthening: Fear Injection’ to some magic.]
“W-what is that!?”
“what? what’s the matter!?”
“Beyond the fog! That monster! “Monster!”
“Ugh!”
This should be enough. In any case, the role of the curtain call is to kill time. If you helped me this much, I’ll take care of the rest.
Now all I have to do is organize Jemu-kyung, who is stuck in another room, and the trouble is over.
“Whoa… … .”
I held the mask with both hands for a moment and took a deep breath.
Jemu-gyeong is a fairly strong enemy, but I have already faced him several times in the game.
I have a general idea of their weaknesses, and depending on the situation, I may be able to communicate to some extent.
So there is no problem.
The problem is that the body gets tired too quickly due to the penalty characteristics attached to various parts of the body.
In addition, although his level has increased a bit, his HP is extremely low due to the [Reduced Stamina] characteristic.
If you allow a clean hit even once, you will suffer irreversible damage, whether it is magic or not.
‘Keu… … Shall we move now?’
There are a total of six rooms on the third floor of this hospital.
However, there is no need to go around and check every room one by one.
There are only so many rooms you need to visit.
First of all, here and now.
A large room with a sniper.
Anyway, since we’ve suppressed the sniper, there’s nothing more to see in this room.
Except for the sniper, it is a large and unremarkable room.
‘Oh, of course, there are things you must do to proceed with the game according to the official route.’
The cabinet in the corner of the room contains a lot of documents that reveal the settings of this hospital.
If you read that… … ‘ah! Is there something hidden in this hospital? There’s a strange secret space in the basement of the hospital? And in order to access that location, you must have the USB that the lab director has?’ Find out the information.
And by interrogating the snipers, it is revealed that the USB had already fallen into the hands of Je Mu-gyeong, the leader of the test subjects.
Well, this is how it unfolds.
Since I’m not here to enjoy the game’s story, there’s no need for me to do that research. In other words, once entry and suppression are over, there is nothing more to do in this room.
“I came in praying that only the sniper would come out, but the aggro from the leopard made me feel sick for no reason… … .”
I twisted my already weak body around and even threw it… … It’s not worth bringing the curtain call.
I massaged the back of my neck and slowly walked to the door.
The moment I reached for the door handle, I let out a sigh.
“Ha, damn it. Now that I think about it, if this pattern was used, the hallway here would have been very messy… … .”
I slowly turned the door handle, and the door slowly opened with an annoying squeak.
As soon as the door opened, the first sense I felt was smell.
Disgusting smell of blood. While wandering around Paju in [Cthulhu World], I smelled blood several times.
I experienced [K-3675 Secret Research Institute] where zombies were rampant, and I also visited an underground parking lot that had become a den of ghouls and where corpses were piled up like a mountain. However, the smell coming from here was more irritating and unpleasant than anything I had ever experienced.
And visually too. The hallway on the third floor was truly a terrible sight.
The walls are cracked here and there, and pieces of human bodies are falling everywhere.
Traces of blood flowing like a river remain on the floor.
These are traces of the armed uprising test subjects massacring the Helistik researchers at the hospital.
‘They seem like crazy people… … .’
Since they were researchers conducting human experiments to begin with, they cannot be said to be innocent victims.
Even so, this terrible place created by the test subjects is truly abnormal.
A party of terrible slaughter and heartless madness took place here.
Corpses dismembered as if they were humiliated.
Corpses with too many injuries.
Interiors decorating the walls.
Heads displayed on the table.
There are even traces of doing something similar to bowling with body parts.
They played with the corpse like a toy.
Although it is not enough to activate the [Abyss Madness] attribute, it is a disgusting sight. There are no such thing as crazy people.
‘No, wait.’
Is it really not enough for the trait to activate?
No, the devastation here is truly terrible.
But it’s not shocking. The mind does not collapse due to psychological disturbance or the limbs atrophy due to excessive fear.
Have your emotions become numb due to your exposure to mythical beings?
The feeling of losing human emotions was somehow unpleasant.
No, let’s not worry about that now. In any case, the current situation is more advantageous in order to survive.
‘Don’t think any more, Kim Shin-hwa. He survives somehow and returns to his original world. Just think about that.’
Aside from that, I feel dirty. Maybe this feeling just comes from memories and habits I had before, but either way, I feel dirty.
Je Mu-gyeong, that stupid bastard who is the leader of the experimental subjects who rose up armed. He feels better if he catches that bastard and beats it up.
“Phew… … .”
Although it is not a suitable place to take a deep breath, I consciously stopped for a moment to steady my breathing and concentrate.
Although we don’t have much time to spare, there is no benefit in rushing.
There is a place you must stop by first before meeting Je Mu-gyeong.
Of the four doors lined up on one side of the hallway, it is the second from the left.
The following sign is attached to the door:
[Pharmaceutical Warehouse]
There it is. There is one thing to take care of there.
‘It’s good to take care of it… … A f*ucking horror show was waiting in this room too.’
This shitty hallway with blood, internal organs, and horribly dismembered corpses on display is only the beginning.
[Cthulhu World] is a game containing cosmic horror fear and madness.
This hospital map was created with that purpose in mind.
A nasty horror awaits you in every room here.
And when you see that and are shocked, you explode into madness… … It is a very exciting place in many ways.
‘But I can’t believe I get to experience this fun factor firsthand.’
It’s fun because it’s a game, but in reality it’s not fun at all.
I just get angry.
But even if you just stay still, nothing will change… … .
‘Ugh… … I’ve been here really often, but there’s no answer.’
I slowly opened the door.
