50. [Blood Born] …Is This Game Really This Terrifying? (4)
“…So, to summarize, since I reached here without any particular difficulties, there’s nothing else to explain—is that what you’re saying?”
“Yes.”
“…You didn’t even get the story, and throughout the entire gameplay you just killed everything without question, so you don’t even know what the game is about?”
“I don’t think that’s my fault.”
“….”
The Basement.
Unlike the humid air outside, the dark space was dry with dust swirling about, carrying a musty stench.
Geom-hu, dressed as the playable character of [Blood Born] in a casual leather coat and jeans, found himself at a loss for words.
He sat solemnly on one of the wooden crates scattered around, having forgotten to maintain his composure.
Geom-hu muttered in bewilderment.
“I’m not… trying to assign blame, but rather pointing out that playing a horror game that way isn’t exactly the standard approach, you see…?”
-Fact) Yeah;
-Understandably baffled
You’ve unlocked a few achievements, but every time you open your mouth, lies just pour out, don’t they?
It’s legendary that you already got an early surrender less than an hour after starting the game lol
Geom-hu’s expression went blank with sheer bewilderment.
Earlier, I had witnessed [Blood Born]’s Achievement system being shattered in rapid succession.
It was impossible not to predict who stood at the eye of that storm.
Knowing that something unusual had occurred, it was only natural that “nothing happened?” sounded like nonsense.
And yet───
“Well, I simply played the game by the book, so… I’m confident nothing unusual occurred.”
“???”
“By the game system’s standards, it seemed more like a tutorial, really.”
“Huh….”
-?;
Haha, seriously though lol
-‘A madman who believes he’s playing a horror game properly’
-???: Shouldn’t someone at least learn how horror games are supposed to be played?
Haha, seriously though lol
After doing all that and having a blast playing that scary game of tag, they shamelessly make tutorial jokes like it’s nothing lol
At this point, you seriously have to wonder if it’s not at least B-tier level.
Looking at it this way, it’s seriously ridiculous lol
Joo Seo-jin remained composed as if nothing had happened.
Not even feigning innocence—rather, genuinely questioning whether anything had occurred at all.
Throughout the entire gameplay, the information I had gathered amounted to zero, yet I explained this away with the same composure.
“As a result, I couldn’t obtain any story details or hints necessary for gameplay.”
“…I’ll let that slide. It’s already a miracle that you managed to find the boss, all things considered.”
“Ah. I do have somewhat above-average spatial awareness.”
“….”
-You’re so shameless, ten hahahahahahaha
-Spatial awareness is hopeless lol
-Seeing how well he navigated, it does seem true, but somehow it’s irritating ??? Makes you wanna kick a soccer ball??????????
Don’t do it. If you throw a soccer kick, you’ll get hit back instead.
-Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
What the heck?? Strong-weak-weak-strong formation leader, what is this lol
Looking at Seojin’s fighting skills, I could actually see that happening, yeah.
Joo Seo-yoon, standing beside me, spoke with an exhausted expression, as if her soul had half departed.
“If you crack open the skull of everyone who looks suspicious, wouldn’t anyone be unable to know anything, brother…?”
“Well, that’s exactly why we couldn’t tell through gameplay. Isn’t that the same thing?”
Joo Seo-yoon nodded, then turned away with a serene, enlightened smile.
“───That’s what they say, but should we hear more details? Geom-hu?”
“…No. It’s better not to listen and let it pass. The story won’t end.”
“Indeed, that does seem to be the case, doesn’t it?”
“???”
I alone failed to understand and tilted my head in confusion, but it was only for a moment.
Swish───.
Geom-hu, who had descended from the wooden crate with a grunt, pulled out ‘something’ from his jeans pocket and showed it to me.
“Hmm… Well, regardless of the process, we’ve successfully regrouped as a result, so that’s what matters, I’d say. The rest, the lady will explain.”
What emerged from the jeans pocket was an old photograph that appeared to have been taken long ago.
[Photograph of a Caretaker / (Main Item)]
-A photograph of the Caretaker managing the Mountain Lodge. It’s blurry, likely because the camera’s focus was shaky when the shot was taken. The Caretaker in the photo has his neck twisted at an eerie angle, staring directly at the camera’s focus….
A main item.
In gameplay, it provides crucial information to progress the story.
In the photograph with its weathered, brownish tone, the ‘Caretaker’ appeared alongside the darkened Mountain Lodge.
A massive man with his neck twisted, staring at the camera—a scene unsettling beyond measure───
Even in the blurred image, the Caretaker’s dilated pupils and sinister grin came through with chilling clarity.
And so too did the shape of the ‘chainsaw’ in his hand, caked with black blood and grease.
Disturbingly so.
“You must be wary of this ‘Caretaker.’ From what I learned while confined, this Mountain Lodge is patrolled by a sentinel… and one that seems to possess inhuman strength.”
‘Photograph of a Caretaker.’
Geom-hu, who had shown me this main item, continued speaking with a grave expression.
“Look here, do you see? My suspicion is that the bundle of keys he’s carrying at his waist is the key to reaching the next stage. If we obtain this, we can surely grasp the thread of this mystery───…?”
“….”
But then….
“Huh, w…?”
“Hmm.”
“?”
The moment I saw the old photograph that suddenly came from Geom-hu, a strange reaction burst forth.
Swish-.
Upon seeing the Caretaker’s appearance in the photograph, Joo Seo-yoon cast a sidelong glance at Joo Seo-jin beside her.
The problem was───.
“….”
haha
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
-Situation assessment activated
Why did Seojin suddenly go silent? (Seriously, I have no idea.)
You know that already, you bastard hahahahahaha
Pretending not to know when you obviously know is so damn annoying lol
-A person who already knows what happened between the manager and Teacher Seojin: A-
Joo Seo-jin, uncharacteristically, broke into a cold sweat.
Unable to withstand the piercing gaze of Joo Seo-yoon beside him—her eyes gleaming with barely contained amusement—he quietly turned his head away.
Geom-hu, sensing something was amiss, tilted his head and opened his mouth to ask, but Joo Seo-jin beat him to it.
Joo Seo-jin spoke awkwardly, feigning nonchalance.
“Well, Geom-hu. There’s something I’d like to ask…”
The thing is───.
“…Is it alright if the Caretaker is already dead?”
“?”
“…Somehow my hand moved a bit faster than intended, so. I apologize for that.”
“???”
Haha, seriously lol
-Siptetonam behavior on hahahahahahahahaha
Hahahahahahaha
-The teenager said that ‘somehow’ his hand went out first haha ​​and he openly killed him hahaha.
-Hey ya ya ya ya ya ya
Hey student, put away the chat ^^
Do you want to fall victim to “curiosity” too??????????
…In truth, Joo Seo-jin had killed the Caretaker long ago.
* * *
Thud, crack.
The three of them emerged from the Basement and climbed to the upper floor, into the Living Room of the Cabin, falling into silence as if by agreement.
Beneath the sickly yellow glow of the overhead lights, the desolate landscape of the ransacked Living Room unfolded before them.
A shattered dining table and chairs, dark crimson pools of blood scattered across the floor.
And there, in the center of it all, lay what had once been the Caretaker—now merely a thing.
Grotesquely.
“Ugh─.”
“….”
Joo Seo-yoon recoiled in disgust, her body trembling.
Just as the chainsaw in her hands had been split in half and reduced to scrap metal, its owner was scarcely different.
Rather than a horror game’s boss monster, he resembled a victim from a disaster film.
“Hah. There’s no mercy in those hands. How can someone be so brutally vicious…?”
Geom-hu let out a small sigh, glancing sideways.
Her eyes held a primal emotion: ‘Is this really something a human can do?’
The moment Joo Seo-jin felt that gaze, he walked forward without a word and searched the Caretaker’s body.
Rustle—.
Then, with perfect naturalness, as if he’d always intended to hand it over, he produced something and offered it.
Clink—clang———….
[Caretaker’s Key Bundle / (Main Item)]
-A key bundle that the Caretaker was carrying, containing several important-looking keys. It seems it could be useful somewhere.
“Ah—. Here it is. Main item recovered.”
“Well… I’ll accept it gratefully, young master Joo. You’ve worked hard.”
Geom-hu accepted the key bundle with a reluctant expression.
…The sight of Geom-hu holding the key bundle, sticky with bodily fluids from having been submerged in a pool of blood.
Then, from Geom-hu’s lips, which had been releasing small sighs, came words filled with bewilderment.
“As I understand it… a horror game shouldn’t be like this…? Shouldn’t we have needed to cooperate or set traps to obtain this key…?”
“Indeed.”
“Exactly. The essence should be surviving amid fear and tension, not resolving things through brute force… Isn’t this far too extreme?”
“It is.”
It was a fair point, but Joo Seo-jin showed no confusion.
Rather, as if he too had things to say, he answered with the naturalness of flowing water.
So subtly that one wouldn’t notice, Joo Seo-jin spoke in a plain tone without revealing any bewilderment.
“I merely put into practice the teachings you imparted to me, Geom-hu. If my force was excessive, it must surely be because of that.”
“…Uh, uh?”
Caught off guard by the sudden response, Geom-hu wavered.
Joo Seo-jin seized that opening and continued with a very serious expression.
“Gaming Martial Arts… especially after learning the Sinking Moon School, I’ve become this way.”
“!”
“Turning the opponent’s strength against them, striking at their weakness with unpredictable movements. Without those teachings, I wouldn’t have been able to handle it so cleanly.”
“….”
“Sincerely.”
-??
Haha, that’s hilarious lol
Look at him suddenly trying to suck up to Abu out of nowhere lol
-As if she’d fall for such shameless drifting flattery, come on~
-Since when was Chimwol-ryu a martial art that involves chopping down a chainsaw-wielding killer with an ax?
“Oh, that kind of setting? (ignoring the concept)”
Are you crazy or something lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol
I can’t translate this as it’s not actual Korean text – it appears to be random consonants without vowels, which doesn’t form meaningful words or sentences in Korean.
The viewers sent jeers of disbelief, but it was only momentary.
The reason being———.
“Heh, hehehem—! Mm, well… I suppose that’s true. You’re not wrong. Yes, indeed!”
-??;
What?
-This crazy..
-Is this even possible??;
-No way this actually works..??
Your level of worldly wisdom is like a ten out of ten lol
Geom-hu’s lips twitched before curling upward in an expansive smile.
Ahem—.
“Indeed, such adaptability is only possible thanks to my teachings. Hehehehe. As expected, young Master Joo—teach him one thing and he grasps ten, nay, a hundred! A true prodigy of the world!”
“….”
-?;
-One bit of flattery and he just completely buys it;
-Are you even going to show off the world’s greatest talents? LOL.
The undisputed king of worldly wisdom lol
-Geom-hu, Geom-hu… falling for flattery in one go…
And so───.
Geom-hu, his mood lifted, strode forward with fists clenched.
“Excellent, absolutely excellent! For young Master Joo to have reached such enlightenment—I too cannot fall behind. There is much more I shall reveal in the future, so follow closely…!!”
-?
Haha, that’s hilarious!
What’s up with your tongue dribbling skills lol
Lol that flexible hooking is crazy
Geom-hu’s training skills are no joke, huh? ○○??;
Geom-hu walked forward with boundless confidence, shoulders squared and strides wide.
Perhaps that was why.
The chat erupted in heated praise, bursting with admiration that bordered on the extreme.
Joo Seo-yoon, observing everything from beside him, murmured softly, “Wow…”
Her words, spoken so quietly they were barely audible, resonated in a low whisper.
“…So. Gaming Martial Arts could be wielded with just the tongue?”
…A talent for worldly wisdom (?) that I had never even considered had just revealed itself.
