Horror Game Developer: My games aren't that scary! novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50 - The lunatic with the sunglasses [5]

—What the hell did he just say? 

—A regular day in the office? He's a game developer?

—Wtf is he doing? This shit has to be fake! 

—LMAOOOOO! This is so obviously staged. Who in their fucking minds would advertise this shit in the middle of a situation like this? 

Seth's words made the chat instantly explode, and the number of viewers increased as those with malicious intentions added fuel to the fire.

—This is bought through a production. 

—I almost got fooled lol. 

Though it was obvious that some sort of 'hidden' competition was manipulating the chat, it still didn't take away from the fact that the entire stream suddenly felt fake.

"Oh, so that's the case..."

Zoey felt a similar feeling as she leaned back on her chair, expression easing a little. For a moment, it almost had her fooled.

'Jamie really went all out with the production.' 

Zoey didn't know how to feel. On one hand, he had done the task as she requested, on the other... he kind of went a little overboard.

The others also seemed a little more relaxed at the realization.

But that didn't last for very long as Kyle's voice echoed shortly after.

"Wait, hold on.."

His expression changed as he looked at his phone.

"What? What is it?"

"...Is something wrong?"

Noticing the sudden change in his demenour, the others grew curious. Just as they were starting to grow impatient with his actions, Kyle slowly turned his phone to display the guild alert system.

———

Location: Velora Art Museum.

Danger: N/A (Estimated to be Second Order)

Alert: Suspicious activity detected in the region. Possible gate opening reported. Further investigation required. Field Agents will be dispatched shortly.

———

"Velora Art Museum..." Zoey mumbled the title of the location for a brief moment before her gaze changed drastically as she hastily looked at Kyle. "Isn't that...!"

"Yes."

Kyle replied, his expression growing tense as he looked at Zoey's phone.

His voice grew a little strained.

"..The stream might not be fake after all."

The app he was using was the Guild App. It indicated and displayed any event that was happening within the Guild and needed the Guild's attention.

Seeing the new alert and the description, Kyle understood the gravity of the situation.

"That's... but..."

Zoey was at a total loss for words as she turned her head slowly towards her phone. She found herself staring at Seth's figure as he appeared in the video, calmly detailing information about his game in spite of his current situation.

To make things even worse...

He was doing all of this while wearing sunglasses.

"Keep the video playing. I want to see what happens next."

Hearing Kyle's words, Zoey bit her lips before nodding faintly and continuing the video. That was when they saw Seth move all the furniture toward the door.

—What is he doing?

—He's trying to block the door.

—Isn't he being chased by those weird guys in white? He's making too much noise. 

In spite of everyone calling the entire stream fake, everyone was still absorbed in the stream. They all found themselves immersed in the situation, and just as everyone was starting to doubt Seth's actions, they saw him turn the camera away from himself.

However, it wasn't fully turned. They still managed to catch a glimpse of him and the door.

It was also then that it happened.

BANG!

Terrance flinched as a loud crashing sound echoed.

Zoey and the others were able to remain unaffected, but it wasn't as though their bodies didn't tense a little.

But this was only up until the moment they saw the cold gleam of the axe and the eye that came right after.

"He's here!" 

A hoarse voice echoed shortly after, bringing the tension to the upper limit. In that moment, they all felt as though they were there in Seth's shoes, and that only served to heighten the growing tension.

Would he be able to get out? _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

This situation... It looked completely hopeless.

'He's probably holding his puke back.'

BANG! 

—Run! What are you doing!?

—Shit!!

—Fuck, fake or not this is creepy as fuckkk!!

—HFIAHISHDFI

Everyone was on the edge of their seats as the situation turned desperate. BANG! And just as the door split apart again, they saw Seth fiddle with his phone before tossing it away, or at least, that's what it seemed to be.

BANG!

WHEEEE— WHEEEE!
