Finally, the trailer for the movie we filmed has been released.

Perhaps because the famous Moon Chang-sik is starring, it sparked some chatter right from the trailer, but seeing as the movie isn’t coming out anytime soon, the release date is still a few months away.

Since it’s literally a pre-release trailer, I shouldn’t expect to receive any premiere tickets just yet.

Will it be a hit, though? I’m not so sure.

Considering the genre of the movie, I did have a slight concern, but it wasn’t a deep worry.

After all, they’ll manage it well on that side; I’m just a minor role.

More importantly, I have to focus on the task at hand.

[Celestial Realm Group Mafia Game (12 Players)]

Just before, I casually mentioned the Mafia game to the Manager.

After that day, something clicked and my schedule was set up right away, and it turned out we were going to do it today.

“Alright, everyone, since we’re doing a joint broadcast today, please maintain your dignity.”

– Sure lol

– Got it ^^

– No worries

– Spoiler alert) It’s happening lol

“Ah, if you mention your occupation in another room, you’ll be permanently banned, so keep that in mind.”

In this Mafia game, one has to be cautious with the chat.

One misstep and someone could come in, saying, “Anna is the Mafia,” causing chaos, right?

That’s why I switched to subscriber chat.

And with the chat managers always present, if anyone spoils anything, messages will be deleted immediately and they’ll be banned.

[Now that everyone is here, let me explain the game.]

In the game lobby, all members have gathered, and Anna is diligently explaining the rules.

By the way, she really dressed up her character well.

Wearing a big straw hat, her character is just so Anna-like.

Come to think of it, all the surrounding members have dressed up their characters too, haven’t they?

“Everyone’s character looks great.”

– You didn’t dress up though

– Why do you look like that?

“Why not? This looks cool, doesn’t it?”

My character looks like a muscular punk with dyed yellow hair.

I can’t be playing a weak-looking character, right?

Mafia game relies on presence. Even if you say the same thing, it will be perceived differently based on appearances.

– Hm…

– I feel like I want to kill you first

– You seem like the Mafia

“Ah, Mafia? Just listen to the explanation.”

This Mafia game, thanks to the promo, had a classic feel compared to the latest games.

After all, the roles are just Mafia, Doctor, Police, and Citizen—four roles and that’s it.

Considering the MZ-style Mafia games out there with terrorists and spies and all sorts popping up, one could say this feels a bit old-fashioned.

Well, the game quality seems decent, though.

The map is nicely designed, and they say there are various elements once you enter the game.

[Now, let the game begin.]

After waiting for a moment, Anna’s explanation wrapped up, and soon a loading screen appeared.

“What role will I get?”

– I hope for Mafia

– Mafia is always fun

– Having a Citizen would also be fun

“I’d like to be the Police.”

Isn’t that the classic role in Mafia games? I want a role that manipulates the feelings of the Citizen and Mafia teams.

After a loading period, my character opened their eyes in what looked like a guest room.

[Your role is ‘Doctor’.]

[You can choose a target to use your ability on.]

“Whoa.”

– Haha lol

– It’s the Doctor

– What the

Not a Police, but the Doctor, who is unique and can only be one in the game, came out on the first round.

This has a good feel to it, doesn’t it?

How do I use my ability?

After fiddling around with various controls for a bit, the ability screen popped up.

“Oh, this is how you do it.”

The ability screen displayed portraits and names of people, and I pressed the portrait that depicted my character and immediately used my ability.

[Used ability on (Miro).]

– ???

– Haha lol

– First turn heal is a rule now lol

– Dude, you should use it if the Police comes out

“Do you think the Police will come out on the first turn?”

With only one Police, would it really come out right away? They’ll probably take their time and only reveal after a few days.

Once I stepped out of the room, I found myself in an elegant hallway filled with paintings and vases.

The game map concept was likely a mansion.

As I walked along the beautifully decorated hallway, I spotted someone across the way.

Who could it be?

With dark hair, could it be Maho? Or perhaps Seo Eun-ha?

Whoever it is, feeling like I should say something, I rushed over and soon saw the name tag.

It’s Seo Eun-ha.

“Eun-ha.”

[Huh? Senior Miro?]

Seo Eun-ha, who chose a small and cute character fitting her personality, seemed slightly taken aback upon seeing me.

[Why does your character look like that?]

“What’s wrong with me?”

[No, it… looks strong.]

“That’s just my spirit.”

– Hahaha

– Dude, do something like that too

– Every time your thick arms come out from the first-person view, it’s disgusting lol

“Ah, don’t slander me. Anyway, Eun-ha.”

[Yes?]

“Let’s stick together; follow me.”

[Ah, okay….]

In Mafia games, alliances are crucial.

If you have someone on your side, it’s advantageous to voice your opinions in the later political struggles.

Thus, I need to bring along someone who will back me up.

In that regard, I considered Eun-ha as a decent candidate.

– Look at him already bringing a little follower

– Sigh lol

– I’d vote to kill Eun-ha if she wanted to run from him lol

“These people really… Eun-ha here is a comrade.”

“Senior….”

This isn’t a little follower; I’m calling her a comrade.

If Eun-ha takes office, I can protect her, right?

Anyway, with Eun-ha by my side, we headed towards the mansion lobby, where everyone seemed to have gathered.

Ah, but before that.

“Eun-ha.”

[Yes?]

“What’s your role?”

[I’m a Citizen….]

“Me too.”

– (Nah)

– The Doctor shouldn’t reveal it, right?

– While I am on the Citizen’s side

– I’m suspicious of Eun-ha; shall we kill her?

“Ah, everyone calm down a bit.”

Once I brought Eun-ha and joined the crowd, each person claimed to be a Citizen.

Well, it’s the first day, so there’s no need for anything else but to say you’re a Citizen.

The Police would have surely used their ability, but no one would expect them to find a Mafia on the very first go.

They said there are about three Mafia members, so statistically it’s tough.

[…So, who should we choose?]

Thus, in a situation where everyone claims to be a Citizen, I found myself confused about whom to vote for.

Honestly speaking, since it’s the first turn, there’s a chance to navigate through without any major incidents.

It’s not easy to find Mafia until someone dies and leaves evidence or until the Police catch them.

[Guys, let’s skip voting for today since there’s no evidence yet?]

Anna was the one taking the lead in the situation.

She naturally took charge in each joint broadcast, so it wasn’t surprising she was doing so again this time.

As Anna suggested, the first day passed without voting.

Night fell, and everyone scattered to hide.

I, too, brought along Eun-ha, my chosen comrade, and searched for a hiding place down the room-filled hallway.

“I’ll hide in this room, so you go over there, Eun-ha.”

[Ah, yes.]

At night, the Citizen team falls asleep, and for five minutes, their vision goes dark, unable to move and only able to hear sounds.

Therefore, before night falls, Citizens can hide in places where they wouldn’t be caught by the Mafia.

This aspect differentiated it from traditional Mafia games.

The Mafia has to find and eliminate the Citizens within five minutes, along with covering up the evidence.

Looking at it this way, it seems a bit tough for the Mafia team, huh?

“Do you think they can find me though?”

Right now, I’ve slipped into a wardrobe in some room.

Can they really find this within five minutes?

With three Mafia players, but still, it seems difficult.

Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard footsteps nearby.

– Are they coming?

– Damn, this is nerve-wracking lol

– Who is it?

“…Wow, this is intense.”

My character is already in a sleep state and can’t do anything.

But why am I able to hear sounds? Is this to scare me?

…That’s pretty vicious.

As I listened to those footsteps for a while, I suddenly heard the sound of someone trying the locked door handle vigorously.

“It’s locked.”

– Hahaha

– Yeah, it’s locked ~

– Why don’t you try to open it? lol

Well, the Mafia might have means to open it, but would they have that on the first day?

They’d probably have to find a master key in the game or something…

Bam!

“What?”

– ???

– What happened?

– Did something break?

But contrary to my thoughts, I heard something breaking…

The sound of footsteps drew closer to the wardrobe.

– Wow, this is so scary lol

– Is this a horror game?

– If Miro can’t even breathe, that’s a definite vote lol

With a creak, the wardrobe door opened, and gasps followed.

“Wow, they actually found me.”

– For real

– I’m shocked

– Who is it??

– Hey, can’t you see me? Enough already

“I’m frustrated too.”

I mean, I’d already come right up to them, but fear didn’t take hold.

Well…

BAM!

[Mafia attempted to kill you.]

[However, you defend with the Doctor’s ability for one turn.]

I had already healed myself, so it was part of my strategy.

The Doctor is a deity.

– The Doctor

– Just a god ㅇㅇ…

– You can’t kill me lol

But to aim for Miro this early on? Even when I was hiding like this?

“I found the culprit!”

At this point, I was already confident about who the culprit was.

– ???

– Who is it?

– I think I know too

– Already?

With dawn approaching, I rushed out past the broken main gate and directly headed to Seo Eun-ha’s room.

“Eun-ha!”

[Oh, Senior?!]

As I burst in, I found Eun-ha just waking up and coming out of the wardrobe.

I immediately grabbed her by the collar and dragged her to the lobby.

“This Mafia bastard!”

[Huh? Senior?]

“I caught you!”

– You said she was your comrade lol

– How dare this little one try to take down the senior??!

– Knew this would happen

This scheming junior…

When she was trailing behind me, calling me her senior, who knew she would try to kill me?

Unfortunately for her, I survived, and now it’s her turn to face the music.

With my strong push, Eun-ha ended up being voted and executed that day.
