Kim Min-jun.
Twenty-six.
Scaredy-cat.
If I had to describe myself in three words, those would be the exact ones.
My accomplishments were also quite remarkable.
Until middle school, I slept with my parents.
I couldn’t go to the convenience store alone at night until I became an adult.
Cover your eyes~
There was a time when I watched my favorite streamer play a horror game and covered the game screen with a browser window.
And now, I was playing a horror game on my own, searching for it.
“Ahh! Shit!”
When a monster suddenly jumped out of the monitor, I felt like I was electrocuted and threw my headset.
The reason I was playing a horror game full of monsters like this right now was simple.
In a week, I had an interview with the company that made this game.
I applied because the starting salary was high—
“Of all the games they could have made…”
I sighed, covering my face, and made a decision.
“I can’t do this. I’m downloading it.”
Honestly, I knew I wouldn’t be able to get through the game properly even before I started, so I had already looked up something.
Among the many mods floating around online, I found one cheat mod.
Since I was going to be interviewed by the game company, I tried not to use it, but seeing how I couldn’t even get past the tutorial, I eventually decided to use it.
“All stats 100x, monster locations visible, unlimited items…”
I was satisfied as I read the description of this game-breaking mod, thinking that if everything applied, I wouldn’t even be able to tell who the real monsters were.
I felt like it was finally becoming less scary.
“Let’s go…!”
I applied the mod and pressed the ‘Start New Game’ button.
Suddenly, a bright flash erupted from the monitor.
With sparks flying, all the electronic devices in the room turned off.
I lost consciousness.
