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

---- Chapter 7 Ihad doubted things before, but since I already assumed this was an otome game, every red flag got shoved to the back of my mind. That entire drunken haze vanished in an instant. "What do I do now?" I whispered to the system in my head. "Given the... unusual circumstances, the system will now perform an emergency shutdown. Visual feed has been censored. Goodbye, host. See you tomorrow. Hopefully, you survive until then." Before I could even scream, the system cut the connection. I looked up and met the man's crimson eyes. My smile faltered. "Are you...

maybe a little tired?" He smiled. "I am not tired. Go on." That was sarcasm. Absolutely sarcasm. I could hear it loud and clear. My heartbeat went feral. This was the final boss of a horror game. And I had tied him up. And climbed on top of him. And announced I was. going to "take control." ---- Chapter 7 Ihad doubted things before, but since I already assumed this was an otome game, every red flag got shoved to the back of my mind.

going to "take control." ---- Once he transformed, he would definitely tear me into pieces. I forced a groan, covered my head, and squeezed my eyes shut. "I feel so sleepy. My head hurts." Even with my eyes closed, I could feel his stare burning into me. Whatever. If he wanted to kill me, he could do it while I was asleep. At least I wouldn't feel anything. Maybe it was my big, stupid heart. Maybe it was the alcohol. Either way, after a few minutes, I actually fell asleep. The next morning, I jolted awake. I grabbed my neck. My head was still attached.

Not only that, my fingers brushed against something cold and metallic. A key. A golden one. At that moment, my system came back online. "Host, the big boss actually gave you the third key. You didn't even have to clear the quest." The system then pulled up the game map and explained the three-key route. ---- The first key was with the dorm matron. Only obtainable at night before midnight. The second key required passing the exam. The tests were randomized. The third key was in the principal's office drawer. It could only be taken at night after getting through several traps.

"You now have all three," the system announced proudly. I perked up. "Lily and the others said the keys are the items needed to clear the game. So that means I can use them to leave, right?" "No." "What? Why not?" "This horror game's players all assumed that clearing the game meant killing the boss. They believed the three keys opened a box containing a time-stop artifact, which would let them kill the boss while he was frozen. "But because the system made a mistake transmitting you here, I will tell you the truth. This boss has already evolved.

Even if you open the box, freeze time, and stab him, he will resurrect. If you follow the normal route, you will simply die in a more painful way. Also, all players thought the principal was the big boss, but the real one is ---- Aaron." The system paused. "Based on previous game records, every player died. No one has ever taken home even a single dollar." My vision darkened. I felt despair swallowing me whole. "So he gave me three keys... just so I would open the box and let him watch me fail, then let me die even more horribly?"
