Do you know this fact?

In horror movies, the feeling of fear is usually created by the sound.

That’s why there are people who absolutely have to watch horror movies in theaters, even if they don’t normally go to cinemas.

Hearing it in the movie theater’s sound system makes it more vivid.

In that regard, you can tell this game has its own cleverness.

The gradually intensifying background music when detected by a zombie, along with the jump scare sound effects, made my heart race involuntarily.

“Ugh! Should I turn off the sound?”

– Hahaha, scared??

– Why do you get startled so often? lol

– Is it really that scary??

“You won’t know until you try it.”

I thought it wouldn’t be scary when I first watched it.

In fact, as I farmed items and improved my skills, it actually got scarier.

Since I didn’t install any convenience mods, if I get bitten once, that’s it.

I heard there’s a vaccine mode… but it’s the first day, so I didn’t intentionally install it.

So now, I’m already bitten multiple times and currently playing on my Nth run.

It looked easy, but it turned out to be tougher than I expected.

“I’ll get a car first.”

– Okay, okay.

– I think we can leave the village now.

– I’ve gathered everything I need.

Even so, I feel like I’ve gotten the hang of the game a bit while playing.

Right now, I’m wearing a firefighter outfit that acts as armor and holding an axe on my back.

I did grab a shotgun at the police station, but for now, it’s just in my bag.

It’s just that the gunshot makes such a loud noise that once you fire it, there’s no turning back.

It’s no wonder protagonists in dramas hesitate to use guns.

“Why aren’t they coming out?”

Right now, I’m roaming the city, breaking car windows and trying to get in one of them.

I heard that sometimes you can find cars with keys, but I haven’t spotted one yet.

– For real…

– Just unlucky, I guess.

– It’s about time they showed up.

“Do I have to spend another night in this city?”

In the morning, I wanted to find a car and just get out of this annoying city, but I can’t find anything worth driving.

So I cautiously moved around, dealing with zombies for a while.

The darkness of evening is slowly creeping in.

“Uh oh, it’s getting dark.”

– Lol!

– Guess I have to find a house again?

– This game is intense.

Since the character’s fatigue level is also important, I need to secure a house to rest in soon.

If the fatigue builds up, around dinnertime, a drowsiness penalty hits, which brings all sorts of debuffs that make it hard to deal with zombies.

So, I tidied up the zombies around me with my axe and headed into the best-looking house in sight.

There were quite a few zombies following me, probably because I made some noise while getting here, but I managed to take care of them.

After clearing them out, I sat on the living room sofa and started my late dinner.

“This is tough.”

– For real…

– Not easy, huh? lol

– But not bad for the first day.

Honestly, I think it would have been better to team up for multiplayer.

The members would teach me well, right?

I’m just scaring myself unnecessarily by playing alone.

“Is there anyone broadcasting right now?”

– Why? lol

– Are you scared and want company?

– Are you scared?

“No, no, that’s not it…”

It’s just that it would be nice to have someone to play with, right?

But it’s funny looking at the chat that used to be all about collaboration and now it’s like a flipped palm.

Is watching someone play single-player that fun?

I’m just so preoccupied with surviving that I lose track of time.

Anyway, considering the viewers’ reactions, I feel like I’ll have to play solo a bit longer today.

After finishing my meal in the living room, I explored the second floor.

Since I’m weak to surprises, I was on high alert, searching each room one by one.

After checking three rooms for safety, I went to the biggest master bedroom upstairs.

“The fatigue is kind of awkward; should I wash up and sleep?”

The number of zombies I’ve taken down in this city is beyond what I can count on both hands and feet.

With all the blood splattered from the zombies killed by the dandy killer Miro in the celestial realm, it was about time for a wash.

– Let’s go, let’s go.

– Just a quick wash and sleep should be fine.

– Don’t you have to be careful about showering?

“Showering is a hassle, so everyone, close your eyes.”

– Okay, okay.

– Eyes are definitely closed.

– Shower cast? DDDD

As I made a silly joke and was about to head down to the first floor, I found out there was a separate bathroom in the master bedroom on the second floor.

I felt lucky because I didn’t have to go back down.

The moment I opened the door…

Boom!

“Gah!… Ugh…!”

With a sound that snapped me to attention, a hidden zombie sprang out.

…Why are you here?

And why didn’t you make a sound, you little brat?

I was startled, but I calmly took the zombie down again.

– Haha, seriously…

– Whoa!

– Why are you so jumpy???

“It’s because of the background music.”

Ha… should I call for someone now?

In games like this, the more players you have, the less scary it gets.

When I’m playing alone, I’m more scared of situations like this.

[Thank you for the 1,000 won donation!]

If you’re scared of this, how do you handle horror games???

“So I don’t do them.”

– Haha!

– I see, that’s why you don’t play them.

– Please, just do it…

“I’ll never do it.”

– Ugh, haha!

– Please, come on!

– Horror games are meant for people like you!

I’ve always been against playing horror games since forever.

Horror games? Can’t do it, just can’t.

I’m a skilled gaming Vtuber, so wouldn’t doing that ruin my image?

Huh? It’s not about being scared, it’s all about maintaining my image.

“Anyway, I’ll sleep here today and tomorrow, I’ll look for a car.”

– Nah, don’t dodge the question!

– Can’t we just turn this off and go play a horror game instead??

“Come on, I need to finish the game I was playing first.”

Saying that, I lay down on the bed.

As the character fell asleep, time passed quickly, and morning came.

Just when I was about to start another day.

[Thank you for the 100,000 won donation, Master Miro!]

If I play horror games, it’ll be a million won.

With a huge donation sound effect, the unofficial chairman who t-bagged me earlier reappeared.

– Whoa, haha!

– What a big spender!

– Exactly! lol

– Let’s go! haha

“Wow, a generous 100,000 won donation! Should I shoot a gun for a reaction?”

– ???

– Don’t you have to do a mission?

– No, not really.

– What a mess.

Even if someone offered a million won, I wouldn’t do it.

But since they donated such a huge sum, I wanted to show my thanks and pulled out the shotgun from my bag.

– Well, tell me to do the mission first.

– Haha, ignoring it with grit.

– You won’t do a million won, either??

[Thank you for the 200,000 won donation, Master Flip!]

And another one hundred more added!

– Haha!

– This has to be done, right??

– So hardcore, will you really not do it??

Despite the previous donation, this time someone else threw in an impressive twenty thousand as an additional mission…

“Wow, a generous 20,000 won donation. What’s going on today? I’ll quickly go outside and give you a reaction.”

But I still won’t do it.

Besides, the offered mission amount isn’t even the full extent of that donation.

For someone, that could be three days’ worth of wages, and to see it burst like this all of a sudden feels surreal.

With that amount, how many Miro concerts could I buy?

…Hmm, not that many.

I realize it’s expensive.

The ticketing is coming up, and I wonder if it’ll sell well.

– Wow, so even two hundred won’t flinch, huh?

– Just do a horror game once!

– Please, I’m begging you!

“Honestly, I’m really curious why everyone suddenly wants to play horror games.”

– You led them on!

– Don’t show such a side! lol

– Oh please!

– Seriously, if you play just once, I won’t ask again!

“Is this what horror games are? Zombies popping up, dark and grim, it fits right in.”

– Dude, seriously…

– Just once!

– Ugh.

[Thank you for the 300,000 won donation, Master Miro!]

If I play horror games, it’ll be an additional three hundred thousand won.

– Whoa, haha!

– This is insane!

– Totally it! lol

“Wow, thirty thousand.”

I thought the chairman spent good money today—wondering how I should react at this point.

[Thank you for the 10,000 won donation!]

If I do it, I’ll throw in ten more.

Another viewer added to the mission amount.

“Wow, a lot is happening today! I’ll react in order.”

– Just do a horror game!

– If you just play it, it’s now five hundred, why won’t you??

– If it were me, I would’ve just installed and started already.

“Even if you give me more, I won’t play horror games. I’ll just give a reaction.”

To avoid getting too competitive or anything, I said that.

Thinking it would help avoid diving into something bad.

[Please play a horror game, thank you for the 30,000 won donation!]

If you do it, it’ll add thirty more!

[If you play a horror game, thank you for the 100,000 won donation!]

[Please play a horror game, thank you for the 150,000 won donation…]

[Play horror game, please! Thank you for the 50,000 won donation…]

Boom! Boom! While firing at zombies and reacting, the mission amount kept stacking up in an instant.

Just like that, the accumulated amount for the missions reached ten million won.

– Wow, a thousand haha!

– This is seriously crazy!

– A million won for a game? lol

– Damn, they all have so much money!

– Time to do that horror game, huh? haha

The atmosphere suddenly got heated.

Honestly, I was surprised too.

I’d never heard of a mission amount reaching ten million won.

It seems my viewers were usually tight with their wallets but decided to loosen them up all at once.

Maybe this is my true worth—a level that matches my reputation.

“Thank you so much, everyone. But you don’t have to worry about the missions. I truly won’t be playing horror games.”

– Really? Not doing it??

– A million won though??

– If it were me, I’d just do it right away!

When it got to this point, people seemed more in awe than ever.

“No way will you not do it??” was the impression.

Certainly, that amount of money is crazy for other streamers…

“…Do I look desperate for a million won?”

– …

– Damn it;;

– What’s with this?

– Ugh.

– Damn it~!

Truthfully, it’s not that I’m not tempted.

But if I do it once, there’ll likely be more similar incidents in the future.

I need to draw the line.

…And horror games? Can’t do it.

It’s not a matter of preference; it’s that I cannot handle it.

I’m the type who closes my eyes while watching horror movies.

“Alright, from now on, let’s consider this as a pseudo horror game. A chance worth ten million, right?”

– Pseudo? Seriously??

– The price of horror games is ten million? lol

– This game is the real deal!

Well, anyway.

That’s how the gameplay wrapped up that day.
