Horror Game Developer: My games aren't that scary! novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41 - Live Stream [3]

Clank! 

Several figures began to file out from a white steel door and into a white room—ten in total, with Kyle at the front. He was dressed in a dark suit that stood out sharply against the stark white of the room. Without pause, he crossed to the nearest table, where a pair of white gloves lay waiting.

He slipped them on in one smooth motion.

It was also then that he heard the sound of a voice coming from behind him.

"What's the rank of the Gate that we're about to enter?"

"....Hm?"

Kyle turned back and caught sight of a pair of dimples aimed in his direction.

He pulled the gloves lower.

"Nothing major. We're only about to enter an rank gate. You still need to get accustomed to how the Gates work before you can go without any supervision."

"Oh, I see."

Myles warmly smiled and nodded.

"...I'll listen to you."

Kyle smiled back as he looked at Myles. His impression of him was rather great. He listened well, and sucked up information like a sponge.

He was glad such a trainee was assigned to his squad.

"If you have any—"

"Pftt—!"

If only everyone were so good.

Kyle slowly turned his head and spotted a blonde figure leaning casually against the wall, a phone in one hand as she stifled a snicker.

"Keuk!"

He could see tears forming in the corner of her eyes.

'What's up with her?' 

Frowning, Kyle casually walked up to Zoey.

"What's so funny? You do know that we're about to enter a gate, right?"

"Oh, Kyle."

Completely ignoring his words, Zoey flicked her head up to Kyle and flipped her phone to him.

"Keuk... look at this shit... pfttt!"

"What sor—Ah."

Kyle's words abruptly cut off the moment he stared at her phone and caught sight of a very familiar figure, standing in the middle of a dark room with a pair of... sunglasses?

"What the..."

"Kak!"

Zoey held onto her stomach and cackled.

"This is too damn funny! Sunglasses...!? Kaaaak!"

Kyle's mouth twitched.

He didn't even have it in him to laugh. Mostly because... this just felt like something Seth would do.

'He really does hate horror after all...' 

If Kyle had to make a guess, Seth had probably worn the glasses to cover his vision. This was so that he wouldn't be as scared.

It was comical to see, and Kyle could see the chat going wild at the sight.

"Haha, look! The views are rising up because of the shit your friend is doing."

Indeed, looking at the viewer count, Kyle could see it slowly rising.

It was currently at 991 live viewers.

—Sunglasses, really? Hahahaha! 

—I'm dying. I'm cramping! 

—First the puking, and now this. This stream is too funny! 

The chat was very lively, with most of the viewers laughing uncontrollably.

"What's this?"

Right then, Myles arrived to see the situation, and the dimples on his face faded for a brief moment as he looked at Seth in the stream.

"Isn't that..."

"Don't even mention it."

Kyle sighed, unsure of how to react.

'Well, at least, I won't have to worry about him not being able to make any sales.' 

He could see some people buying his game just for his antics.

Kyle was just about to speak again when all of a sudden, the door to the white room burst open, causing Zoey to drop her phone as her face winced with each turn her phone took on the floor.
