Chapter 91

A miniature drone camera, around the size of an eraser, flew through the air. Amy, a streamer, greeted her audience.

“Tada~ a festival held by Gaon in order to celebrate Tower Day! I’m here to livestream the whole event, everyone~”

The hologram chat window showed the overwhelming enthusiasm from the viewers.

[LuvUAmy donated 100,000 won!]

– ehh~

[AmyChan donated 200,000 won!]

– likin’ the atmosphere at the start here~

– so what we doin?

Amy began explaining at the entrance of the auditorium.

“Awright, we’re starting off with none other than…! The school’s pride and joy, the class-wide events! Actually, I was gonna start off with A Class, but F Class’s event is crazy popular~”

Students and livestream audiences alike began swarming around Amy more and more.

“Which is why I decided to do F Class first!”

Amy lifted an index finger into the air to catch the attention of the audience.

“That is… the Haunted House at the grand auditorium!”

But in contrast to her enthusiasm, her viewers had a rather lukewarm reaction to the news.

– how scary would a haunted house made by students be tho?

– tbh how are you gonna beat the costume fx of a theme park? feels like theyre gonna pop out in white burial clothes and ketchup on their mouths…

– ↑lmaooooooo spoilers

To add to the disappointment, Amy was a pro streamer—a veteran who had gone and experienced theme parks from all over.

“Aw, still, everyone worked hard on this! Why don’t you all get in the party mood already? That’s what they opened this festival for!”

Amy scratched her head.

“I don’t really wanna say this, but… like everyone’s said, I’m a pro, so there isn’t much of a chance of me being scared…”

Creak–

Amy opened the door to the grand auditorium and entered the attraction. 

Renia, who was accepting tickets at the entrance, smiled in an ominous manner.

“I hope you have a wonderful experience today…”

Snnk. Snnk.

The feel of dirt beneath her feet… Dark surroundings… Windows that shone with blue light, making it look as if it was the middle of the night. 

Amy gulped without thinking.

“Whadda hell…?”

The viewers’ reactions were not much different from hers.

– how tf did you guys… make this…?

– yall put dirt on an auditorium floor? lol

– lmaooo do they teach you stage design at hunter schools these days?

Question marks flooded the chat.

Amy herself was also taken aback.

“The st-stage design is r-really impressive. It might actually be a little creepy… but the disguises are what’s most important!”

Amy coughed loudly to regain her composure.

– that’s true~

– stage makeup is hard lol

– fair enough;; its not like theres a makeup specialist among the students, and you cant really up the quality on ghost costumes, kek.

Amy walked ahead slowly, urged on by her (self-proclaimed) expert viewers.

While the subject of the broadcast was a mere school festival, countless people were watching it because a celebrity like Amy was streaming it.

Rattle!

Amy, who was too focused on looking ahead, had managed to step on a skull on the ground.

“Waugh! What the! Th-that scared me…”

Amy had always been a skittish sort of person ever since she was little. Add on nervousness to that disposition of hers, and Amy was jumping at every little thing.

– she’s scared of skull models now lol

– this is why i watch these…

– isnt it about time she stopped T_T being scared of this stuff

Amy tried to bluff her way through her own reactions. “Aw, c’mon, I wasn’t scared. I was just surprised because I thought I was gonna fall. Look here.”

She crouched down and picked up the skull in her hands.

“You can tell it’s a model immediately…”

“Claclack! Clack!”

The skull suddenly began to rattle its jaw.

“Huh?”

Amy was dumbfounded, unable to understand what was going on. Right beside her, the headless body of a skeleton began to slowly rise up from the ground.

“Clack?”

The skull in her hand rattled its jaws once again. At that point, the body of the skeleton had fully risen and was standing right next to Amy.

“The bones! The bones are movinggggggggg!!”

Brain finally catching up, Amy screamed and ran forwards like her life depended on it.

“Th-th-the bones! The skeleton body wasn’t even a costume! There’s ghosts here! Actual ghosts… cough! Cough!”

She was so surprised that she had managed to choke on her own spit.

Even the viewers, also surprised, were furiously typing in the chat.

– the hell is this? lmaoooooo

– CG? no seriously tho lol

– i wasnt expecting anything, but that totally got me lmao, amy’s gonna have to be sent to the hospital by the end of this.

As they were doing so, Amy suddenly heard someone breathing oddly in her vicinity

“Grrr… grrr…”

A man with no hair on his head was breathing heavily while staring at the wall; his skin was pale and blue, like a corpse’s.

“Heh, heh heh… this place is nuts,” she muttered, “I’m not gonna look at this. I’m just gonna go. Not even gonna talk to this guy.”

– Muttering ON!

– Escaping reality ON!

– She won’t be able to go past him~

Amy’s viewers continued to mock her. Even still, she didn’t stop talking to herself.

“If… If he tries to jump me. I dunno. I’ll push him on the ground. I’ll do it… I’m just gonna walk by him. I’m done. Enjoyment over. I’m never doing a haunted house livestream ever again. I’m never coming back…”

Sneak sneak.

For every step Amy took, she muttered words towards the man as if trying to warn him. 

But right as she moved close to him.

“ Grr, grr… gr…”

His breathing changed as if he had noticed her presence.

Amy’s heart felt like it was going to burst out of her chest. She was certain she was dead meat. Nonetheless, she took a careful step forward.

Very slowly, in order to not aggravate the other…

Tap.

But her foot managed to kick a pebble on the ground.

“Ah?”

The man turned his head towards the sound.

Unseeing eyes… A gaping, drooling mouth… The man in front of Amy was a ghoul.

“Graaaaargh!!”

The ghoul bared its sharp teeth at her and screamed. 

Amy followed suit, “Aaaaaah!!”

The decibels her own scream reached was in no way lower than the ghoul’s cry. Reflexively, Amy shoved the ghoul trying to attack her.

“Don’t come near meeeee!!”

Plop.

—And its arm fell from its socket as if it were nothing. 

Snot dribbling down her nose, Amy bolted.

“Shit… really… the person who suggested this… Is insane! Sniff, for real! Gasp, I just gotta run for now!! Sniff!”

She made her way towards the exit, carelessly wiping snot off her nose with her hands.

But that time, someone swung a greatsword in front of her face.

Boom!

The weapon only just barely missed her body as it fell onto the ground.

“Eek! This is fucking insane. Hey, you! Are you serious? What if someone gets hit by that for real?!”

The death knight watched her with its red eyes as if apologizing for missing.

“My mas… ter told me… to show her enemies… a fear worse than, death…”

The sight of its glowing eyes on its visage truly scared her worse than death.

“Sob, shit! I’m dun’! For real. For real! I’m gunna leave! Nobody come here! Wahh, hick!”

Defeated, Amy fell on the ground and crawled away on all fours like a turtle.

– ngl its funny how fast she is lol

– amy T_T

– the hell… do some of the students have a haunted house trait or smth?

– lol maybe they’re specially hired for theme parks and stuff

The chat began scrolling faster and faster, not that Amy had any spare time to read it. She was running away with all her might, snot and tears dribbling down her face.

“If I, pant pant! I’m serious! If I ever go to a haunted house again, It’ll… be too soon! I’m never doing this again! Ever. Everrrrrrr!!”

As if responding to her wishes, the light from the exit slowly appeared in the distance.

“Gasp, gasp… that’s the end. Th-the light, the light… This really is the end!”

Amy’s tear-ridden face was completely swept up in relief at the thought of surviving the ordeal.

But right as she thought so, her entire body stiffened.

“Huh?”

Amy froze over like a frog in front of a snake. From the pitch black surroundings, the eyes of a predator loomed over Amy—they belonged to Lilith and her skill, [Petrifying Gaze].

Step. Step.

A haughty empress slowly stepped out from the darkness.

“You poor child…”

Lilith’s voice was alluring, yet chilling. Amy couldn’t turn her head away from it.

“Uu, uuu…”

Unable to move even her mouth, all she could do was cry on the spot. 

Lilith lowered her head and whispered into Amy’s ear, voice honey-sweet.

“My master… wants… your fear.”

“Uuu… who is this woman… her horns are touching my ear. Sob, uuu…”

Amy sniffled, showing she was plenty scared already.

The rank 5 boss, Lilith, gently stroked her head as if finding her cute.

“So be thankful of my master’s mercy… worship with all of your heart the fact that she only wants your terror, and not your life…”

“Uuu, hic, uuu…”

Amy nodded her head with all of her might as the paralysis wore off.

“I-I worship it. Sob, I do, I really do. Seriously… thank you for not killing me. Sniff!”

She walked towards the entrance, thanking a master whose identity she did not even know.

– todays livestream was nuts kek

– whos that woman lmao

– now that i think about it isn’t f class where shin yusung is?

– lmao i guess f class is the future

Amy, crying her eyes out, and her viewers, laughing their asses off.

Lilith held the girl’s hand and led her outside.

“Did you enjoy the haunted house?”

“Hiik, sniff…”

“Then please visit us again next time.”

Lilith giggled and waved her hand. 

Amy hurriedly shook her head in response. “Dun’ wanna… sniff, gasp, sob! Gasp!”

She wiped her nose again.

Sumire, at the exit, watched her do so and tilted her head in confusion.

“…Why is she c-crying?”

Due to a high-quality haunted house, where everything was ‘real’, the thought that she was the cause of Amy’s suffering didn’t even cross Sumire’s mind.

“Then, Sumire, shall we go?”

YuSung, who was standing next to her, checked his Pocket as he said so. Sumire quickly nodded.

“Oh, yes! It looks like it’s time! Th-then I’ll leave it to you, Miss Lili!”

Sumire left orders to the succubus and left. The silly grin on her face made her look happier than she had ever been before.

“Alright, Master!”

Thankfully, Lilith’s happiness was directly tied to the happiness of her master, Sumire. A bright smile unbefitting of a succubus appeared on Lilith’s face as she waved goodbye.

“Let me take care of everything on this end! Please enjoy the festival!”

She truly was a loyal familiar.
