I turn thriller games into Education Simulation!
"Yesterday, in the latest round of the chilling game, the player known as 'Gin' completed 10 D-level tasks and 2 C-level tasks, performing beyond expectations to finish the game and earned three 'horror-class' ghost entities. Promptly recognized by the nation, he was recruited as an official Spirit Master."
"As the global horror game phenomenon marks its second anniversary, this player from Country C becomes the 13th person to finish the game and be directly employed by the government as a first-class Spirit Master..."
Inside the stuffy school bus, Richard, with his eyes closed, listened to the radio news with a hint of impatience, "Can we turn that off?"
No one paid him any attention.
The bus was buzzing with his classmates' chatter, nearly all of it focused on the news story.
"I'm so jealous of those guys. How did they complete those tasks in such a terrifying setting? If it were me, I'd be shaking too hard to even stand."
"They're psychos with ironclad wills, motivated only by the rewards, sacrificing life for money. We can’t even compare to them."
"It'll be our turn soon, right? Once we turn 18, we have to enter the horror game at least once. Just thinking about it is terrifying."
"What's there to be scared of? Last year, a newbie turned 18, tackled three F-class characters, snagged some rewards, and afterwards, tycoons tripped over themselves to buy them. Heard he made a billion and is set for life!"
"Let's make an effort; maybe we won't have worries in our next life either," said a student, his voice bubbling with excitement.
"Idiot, with that attitude, don't plan on returning alive!"
"That horror game round, over fifty students entered, but just over twenty returned alive, and more than ten developed heart conditions from the shock."
"The only one who got a reward just hit the jackpot with the easiest task."
"For first-timers,"
"Just focus on making it back alive—that’s the best you can hope for," said a boy with a center-parted hairstyle leaning against the window, his voice cold and detached.
His words sent a chill through many of the students.
