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

---- Chapter 12 "Unlike most horror games," the staff member continued, "in this one, being killed by an NPC actually counts as clearing the game. When the boss-level player enters the world, all his memories are erased except for one directive: kill every player." "And the final reward is ten million dollars. Before he entered the game, the boss player personally set one extra condition. If he voluntarily kisses a player, that player earns the final prize. Also, if you manage to bring all three keys out of the game, you can exchange them for three million." I finally understood.

My so-called "romance system" had been an intern system. It didn't know about this hidden rule. It thought that if Aaron killed me, I would truly die in real life. That was why it panicked the entire time. The staffer gave me a small smile. "Congratulations. You're the winner of the horror game. You've earned ten million." Iwas stunned. I... won ten million? ---- But even then, one thought rose instantly to my mind. Aaron. "Who was the boss-level player?" I asked. "Pm sorry, that information is classified." They also told me what happened to Lily and Summer in the aftermath.

Summer was killed by a player and failed to clear the game. Lily managed to kill a player, so according to the rules, she technically cleared the game. But as punishment for killing another player, she was forced into the next round of a traditional horror game-one with the usual rules. If she died inside, she would die in the real world. In the end... Lily didn't clear that game either. But that was another story. A Week Later Thad been wandering around the mall for quite a while.

Thad ten million in my bank account now, but money ---- didn't help the ache I felt every time I thought of Aaron. The more I missed him, the clearer it became. At some point along the way, I had fallen for him-for real. It was no longer about clearing a mission or earning a reward. I stopped walking when I sawa massive poster hanging inside the mall. It was Wayne, the celebrity I had followed for three years. Wayne had been studying overseas for the past two years, rarely appearing in public. All I had left were his old videos and a fading fan page. Aaron looked so much like him.

Astrange thought flashed through my mind. Could it be...? I shook my head immediately and laughed at myself. Ridiculous. There was no way Wayne would enter a horror game and become the terrifying final boss. Fall in love with me? Impossible. ---- Just as I turned to leave, a car stopped directly in front of me. Aman stepped out. He wore a fitted suit, a mask, sunglasses... But what took my breath away was his hair. Silver-white. My heart thudded painfully hard. Because he carried that familiar, faint lemon scent. Slowly, he removed his sunglasses. Then his mask.

His flawless face appeared, and his lips curved into that soft, devastating smile. "Ivy Lander," he said gently, "we meet again." "You... you're..." He stepped closer. "Let me introduce myself properly this time. My name is Wayne... and I am also Aaron." He held my gaze. ---- "Ivy, [love you. May I pursue you?" Icouldn't hold back anymore. Iran straight into him, wrapping my arms tightly around his waist. "No need to pursue me," I whispered against his chest. "I already love you too."
