He Hunts, I Haunt

---- Chapter 8 The ragdoll kept one paw on the steering wheel and grabbed my hand with the other. "T can do anything." I couldn't help laughing. "Wow, you sound just like my cocky boyfriend." Victor acted cold and unreachable around other people, but he was clingy and shameless with me. Once we were far from the cabin, and with the ragdoll driving, I finally let myself relax. Iremoved the disguise item and returned to my real appearance. When I noticed the ragdoll staring at me, I scolded lightly, "What are you looking at? Eyes on the road.

"'Hey, why are you squeezing into me all of a sudden? When did you get so clingy?" The ragdoll suddenly pulled the car over. "I haven't seen you in so long. I really missed you." Tassumed it meant the few hours when Victor had kept it ---- away from me. "Don't worry, Bunny. I would never leave you behind." "T don't know why Victor locked you up, but I'll deal with him for you one day." Ragdoll twitched its ears. Maybe the SSS dungeon had really frightened it. After being away from me that long, it had become much more attached... and far more talkative.

The ragdoll asked me how it felt to be a monster. "Tt was nice in the beginner dungeon," I said. "I didn't earn much, but it was safe." It caught the important part right away. "Are you saving up to buy something?" Inodded. "T wanted to buy my boyfriend something nice to wear into dungeons." The ragdoll's ears flicked. It climbed into my lap and cupped my face in its paws. "You're so good to him. If he knew, he would be so happy. ---- I shook my head. "'He can't know yet. He doesn't want me working at all. He worries because I'm easily scared. But it's okay.

He will never find out." The ragdoll nodded firmly. "Yeah, he won't." We drove until we reached an open stretch of land. Before we even stepped out, the smell of burning hit us. Something felt wrong. The ragdoll grabbed my hand and dragged me out. The second we cleared the car, it burst into flames. Heat rushed over my face, making my heart hammer. "What a shame." A player stepped out of the bushes nearby, brushing ash off his hands. "T cannot believe you escaped." ---- I recognized him instantly. He was the player who had set my hair on fire.

I whispered, "Bunny, that's the guy who burned my hair before. He's dangerous." "He burned your hair?" The ragdoll's voice dropped for the first time. Inodded. "Don't you remember? My hair caught fire, and I fell into the river. You pulled me out." It went quiet. The player squinted at my face and cursed, "Damn. A monster? That car was supposed to be carrying a player. "Killing a monster doesn't drop anything. All that effort setting up this trap for nothing." I knew how this worked. Players could kill each other in dungeons. Whoever died dropped their items.

The higher the dungeon level, the worse it got. It was easier to steal from other players than fight bosses. ---- The man glared at me, clearly thinking of killing me just to work off his anger. I was about to pull out my items and end this when the ragdoll suddenly jumped out of my arms. "Don't do anything reckless, Bunny." I was scared that it would get hurt again. The player laughed when he saw it. "You think you can threaten me? Don't you know I'm ranked 26th on the leaderboard-aaah!"
