Interlude - Ghost Story Club (2)

The first official day of club activities at school starts tomorrow, but we were restless all day wondering what the club room would look like..

after school.

As soon as afternoon assembly was over, the three of us ran to our homeroom teacher..

“Where is the ghost story club room??”

Our homeroom teacher looks at us with a puzzled look on her face..

“Are you saying there is such a weird club at school? Even a club room? what is that……

Sun- a and Gyeong-won looked at me and their homeroom teacher in turn with expressions as if they were different from what they had told each other..

“Jun, I'm sure you weren't fooled by the fake documents I printed yesterday.?”

Let me look at you with a straight face.

“···Okay, I get it. If you go up to the 5th floor, there is a utility room with a wooden door.

There will be. From now on, that will be the club room for many people. Please write cleanly..”

“thank you.”

The homeroom teacher, a middle-aged, balding man with a pot belly, continued muttering with a sullen expression..

“Are you not fooling me anymore, Jun? This teacher is sad.”

I turned around coldly and left the classroom with Seon-ah and Kyung-won..

* * *

A school bathed in languid afternoon sunlight.

We ran to the 5th floor, passing excited first graders getting off school and crying seniors having a good night's sleep..

“hurry! hurry!”

gasp, gasp.

I was so excited with anticipation that I arrived, jumping up the stairs two or three at a time without realizing how difficult it would be..

“···It's locked.”

Seon-ah speaks blankly..

When I went to the end of the hallway on the 5th floor, which was the location my homeroom teacher told me about, I felt something vague.

I saw a utility room with a wooden door on the chin..

Above the door was a sign that said ‘Utility Room 3’..

A room in a location that is very difficult to explain, as if it suddenly appeared today by squeezing in between classrooms..

The problem was that the door was locked.

I tried turning the handle, but it only rattled and did not open..

“…but. Permission has been granted, but official activities start tomorrow. I won't be able to get the keys until tomorrow..”

Gyeongwon muttered as if he was disappointed too..

a tightly closed wooden door.

There is a small window at the top of the door that allows you to look inside, but it is hidden from view by the paper stuck on the inside..

What's beyond this door?.

What does the club room we will be working in for the next three years look like?.

‘I spent all day waiting for this, and it's locked.……

a lazy afternoon.

The three of us stand blankly in front of the club room..

I had no choice but to hide my disappointment and say that I would come back tomorrow, and Dongbang wasn't even gone, so I was about to pat everyone and ask why I was so disappointed..

A message appeared above the door handle..

[Would you like to open the club room??]

I quietly looked at Seon-ah and Gyeong-won..

As expected, these guys can't see it..

I put my finger on the doorknob and clicked on the message..

click.

[The club room is open. please wait』

[Loading…….]

[4%]

[17%]

[25%]

Seon-ah and Gyeong-won look at me blankly fiddling with the doorknob..

[51%]

[73%]

[89%]

“···Don't be too disappointed, Manager. All you have to do is come back tomorrow. It’s not like the club room disappeared.-”

[100%]

[Club room is open.]

Clap-

At that moment, the doorknob turned with the sound of the latch being opened..

Gyeongwon stops speaking and opens his mouth in surprise..

I spoke calmly.

“Hey, this doorknob. I guess it was just a little crowded. I give it strength and it goes back.”

I can feel everyone's tense gaze..

My heart is pounding.

Suddenly!

I opened the door at once..

Squeak-

“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

“wow!”

It was a small neighborhood with a comfortable atmosphere.

There was an Ari room.

large window with curtains.

One large table and four chairs.

And a stand-up whiteboard with wheels..

2It was a perfect club room with everything you need, even though it was a little narrow with a space of about pyeong..

“Oh my, Manager. you really……

At some point, Gyeongwon, who naturally calls me Manager instead of his name, smiles..

The guy adjusting his glasses and shaking his head as if he can't stand it..

“How on earth can you, a freshman, have a room like this! I wonder if we could save it by creating a club! really. Hehehe.”

Okay, I'm dying..

“How should I express it? Should I say that I am resourceful? Manager. Hehehe.”

‘'I like it.' I also nodded with a smile to the guy who muttered softly..

Sun-ah also looked around as if impressed and said..

“It's really clean here! Desk and chair too! It's all new……!”

“It's no big deal.”

I shrugged and pretended like it was nothing..

Actually, I thought it was lucky that it wasn't a dirty warehouse with rats running around, but I had no idea that the system would prepare such a perfectly basic club room..

Even the floor was shiny and completely new..

This school has been around for a long time, so there are many old buildings here and there, but this club room was clean as if it had just been completed..

‘ amazing.’

I, too, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration..

When I approach the window, pull back the pure white curtains, and look down, I see students carrying their bags on their way home from school in the middle of the playground bathed in afternoon sunlight..

I checked the menu while happily watching the two guys sitting on the chairs and wiping the desk with their hands..

‘main screen.’

When I entered the club management menu, four menus appeared again..

I decided to take my time and look at each one..

［Ghost story points until the next level up 0/100］

Are there levels in clubs?.

I'm excited because it reminds me of the tycoon games I played when I was young..

Games that raise and grow the level of the facility itself, such as Roller Coaster Tycoon and Zoo Tycoon.

‘What will change if the club levels up??’

When I invested the points in myself, I was able to gain strange abilities..

What happens if you invest points in a club to raise its level?.

100 points saved!

I decided to pour it out here..

‘But that too when there are no eyes to see

I should do it.’

I glanced at Seon-ah and Gyeong-won in the back..

You never know what changes will happen in the club room the moment you add points..

It's unfortunate, but since the members are together now, I decided to postpone leveling up until tomorrow..

I went back and clicked number 2, member management..

‘oh my god.’

I thought it would take the form of a game system, but I didn't expect it to be to this extent..

It feels like managing guild members in an online game..

‘Jinhee Lee is the name of the scary female student who always sleeps in the back of the classroom, and Hwaeun Jang... who was this person??’

I suddenly remembered the words of my homeroom teacher that each club had to have one teacher in charge, so they put the remaining teacher in charge..

Perhaps in terms of the system, they are grouped together and treated as members..

I clicked on Suna’s name once..

‘Oh, are we moving on from here?.’

When I clicked on the name, the status window I saw before appeared..

Before, I was embarrassed because I couldn't open the status window when people disappeared from my sight.

However, once you became a member, you could check it through the menu at any time..

I was concerned about the ‘NEW!’ button next to Suna’s personality..

‘There will probably be quite a bit of explanation for the characters based on the level of understanding I have accumulated so far..’

Now that I can check it out from the menu at any time, I thought I should read it slowly when I get home later..

I went back to the menu again.

[This feature opens when the club reaches level 5..]

‘the level 5……

How many points do I need to collect to reach level 5?.

If you think it costs 100 points to simply raise the level by 1, you will have to spend another 400 points to unlock this unknown feature called the store..

Received 5 points when surviving a D-class ghost story..

10 points for the C-grade ghost story Red Tissue and Blue Tissue.

Also, I remember getting 15 points each from the B-level ghost story, The Laughing Woman and the Mother Ghost, and when I defeated them, I received an additional 70 points.

It flies.

‘400If it's a point... Does this mean I have to defeat a monster like a smiling woman five more times?.’

A sigh came out naturally..

It's not a sigh that comes from the desperate need for store functionality..

‘'How much more do I have to roll and roll?' It was a sigh born out of worry..

I suddenly got worried that these three unknown years of my life would be very long and difficult..

Run a club and play poker like a game

Get it, level up... Everything is good.

I am also an ordinary male high school student.

Such game fantasy-like elements are welcome..

‘Unless it's a ghost story!’

Everything is fine as long as it isn't such strange creatures..

This system feels like a game with a lot of elements to delve into, so it makes my heart pound quite a bit, but that doesn't mean I really want to live in fear of my limbs being cut off by monsters that go beyond my common sense..

My heart became heavy as I thought about the ghost story I would have to fight in this tycoon game..

Such scary beings.

If I can, I want to avoid it as much as possible..

That's my true heart.

‘···Phew.’

No one would want to go through this kind of hardship on their own..

I remembered the three years I spent in my previous life when Nakseong High School closed and I transferred to another school..

Study normally, then play games when you get home

And I also exercise on my days off..

There was a realistic goal of going to college, and there was a time when all I had to do was do what I had to do within that set framework..

Days when I had no need to worry about the stress of life coming and going..

peaceful daily life.

I hope that kind of daily life comes back.

I even have the ability to turn back time when I die..

Use this to make your life easier

I might be able to buy it.

Winning the lottery or something like that.

“···Hey, Jun..”

I turned my head from the window when I heard Seona calling me..

Seona and Gyeongwon are sitting on chairs and looking at me..

I became the head of the ghost story club standing by the window..

And the members sitting and looking at me.

I never thought my life would go in this direction.

“What are we doing at club time tomorrow?

I will do it?”

Suna hesitates and asks me.

Gyeongwon also looks at me with a curious expression..

okay.

Even if I avoid this place and live a different life.

Adversary.

That being will definitely wake up three years later..

Even if you run away, you will only live a comfortable life for three years..

There is no way out.

I have no choice but to live this life like this..

I want a normal life, but there are not always safe and good things in the world..

Even if it is not a special situation like now, as we live,.

You may face moments where you cannot escape even if you want to, and you have no choice but to grit your teeth and hold on..

“Tomorrow, let's share the scary stories we each know and find out what each other's knowledge levels and tastes are. first

It's okay because it's the day?”

Let's try it.

Let's live this life like this.

“···Yes, I understand! I'll definitely think about it!”

“Hehe, one day is not enough to tell the ghost story in my head.……

The afternoon passed like that..
