I Joined a Dating Sim Game and Got the Horror Boss Instead

---- Chapter 11 "J don't think we got this right," I told the system. "He didn't want me dead." "7 think so too." "Then why did he give me the three keys?" "Thave no idea." Just then, Aaron traced his fingers across my lips. Amoment later, he lowered his head and pressed a gentle kiss to my mouth. Istared in shock. Aaron... kissed me. He set my body down carefully and pulled a blanket over me. "Be good and wait for me," he murmured. "I'm going to avenge you." Then he turned and left the dorm. [hurried after him, floating behind like a lost soul. He walked straight to the principal's office.

---- Inside, Lily was tied to a chair, hair a tangled mess, muttering frantically to herself. "This can't be... How can there be no gemstone? Why is there only paper...?" Behind her stood the "principal" -black wings sprouting from his back, half his face whole, the other half mangled beyond recognition. He held the opened box respectfully and offered it to Aaron. "Boss, this is yours." Aaron said nothing. He reached inside and pulled out a piece of paper decorated with a little heart. My breath caught when I saw the words written on it: "Pll be your girlfriend. I've fallen for you." I froze.

He had replaced the gemstone long ago. He put a love letter inside instead. He gave me three keys. He kept urging me to open the box ---- He wanted me to see this confession. Only now did I remember that day a female classmate received a love letter. Thad sighed enviously and said, "I wish I could get a love letter someday." Aaron had been sitting right next to me. He heard me. And he remembered. Lily stared at him, her eyes bulging. "You... Aaron... you're the actual boss?" Aaron stood over her like the most terrifying phantom in existence, expression empty, but radiating murderous intent.

"You shouldn't have touched her." Lily collapsed to her knees, sobbing, begging for her life. But in the next moment, she fell in a pool of her own blood. My time in the game was up. I watched Aaron standing alone in the darkness, and ---- instinctively reached out to him. But before my hand could touch him... I disappeared. The system's voice whispered beside me: "Host, you have been removed from the horror game. Special announcement: I checked the boss's affection value for you. It is 100. The maximum." I opened my eyes slowly. I was lying in the gaming capsule chair.

Thad returned to the real world. A tear slipped down my cheek. One of the staff members hurried over, apologizing profusely. "There was a glitch in the system," he explained. "It accidentally transported you into a horror game." T asked quietly, "Players who die inside the horror game... do they die in real life too?" The staff member, adjusting his glasses, nodded solemnly. "For most horror games, yes. Participants sign a life-and ---- -death contract for the reward money. But the game you entered was different." He continued: "In this game, the final boss is actually another player.

His memories were intentionally blocked. And before he entered the horror game, he personally wrote the rules. In his version of the game, clearing the game and receiving the final reward are two completely different things."
