Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game

The teachers’ lounge wasn’t far from the main entrance hall, so I arrived quickly.

Taking care not to alert the guard, I hid near the door. alpha Just as I was about to enter, I noticed a box placed by the entrance.

‘This is it.’

If you lost something, come here to pick it up.

[Lost and Found]

Its bright design and bold font drew my attention.

I peeked inside. aluminum It was full of trash—broken pencils, old erasers, even wrappers.

Empty snack bags, cigarette butts.

It was a box meant for that purpose—or so the sign said. galaxy The “lost and found” box was completely open.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

Makes sense. acquire Who would leave valuables like wallets or iPads out in the open? adopt Whoever found them first would just keep them—and no one would bring something like that here.

Although labeled “lost and found,” it seemed students used it as a makeshift trash can.

I rummaged through the trash-filled box. voyage There was nothing worthy of calling an object.

‘Nothing useful.’

I tore open the drink bag and checked inside.

Just as I was about to look away, something glinted between a bulgogi snack bag and a malt drink pouch.

[…There is something inside.]

It was a small baby-bottle-style container.

[You have obtained Ink.]

An unexpected find.

‘Oh.’

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

I pulled out the diary immediately.

[Ink]

【Red ink. riddle Used for writing in the diary.】

Obtaining ink meant I could now save progress.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

I’d rather die than go through that again. apple The guard’s mocking smile flashed through my mind.

I’d better take advantage of this and save now.

If I died because I tried to conserve ink and had to redo the whole romantic closet scene with the guard from scratch…

‘Otherwise I’ll have to start from the beginning.’

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

I used the diary without hesitation. ability The ink spilled out at once.

‘Ugh.’

I never wanted to see it again.

[Would you like to record your journey so far?]

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Did it have to be red—red of all colors?’

It gave me bad vibes. echo I wanted to wash it off immediately, but there was no bathroom nearby.

Because it was red, it reminded me of blood.

They could’ve at least warned me it would happen like this. sphere The ink trickled down my palm.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

Now it looked like real blood.

[Your journey has been recorded.]

As a temporary solution, I rubbed the ink onto the wall. riddle The white wall turned red.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

I carefully opened the first page. abandon The previous content had vanished, completely stained red.

I turned to the next page. timber A number in red ink appeared.

The diary was now fully stained with ink.

[6:37]

‘Only six minutes have passed?’

If I opened my eyes in the classroom at midnight, the current time should be around 12:06 AM.

Had about six minutes passed since the start?

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

I dreaded the idea of being trapped forever in this same stretch of time at school.

That was why time felt so slow, yet the constant tension made it feel eternal.

Now that I thought about it, paused time didn’t count.

Given how my body felt, it seemed like I’d been running from the guard for five hours.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Get the key and get out already…’

But it didn’t open.

I pushed aside those dark thoughts and pushed open the teachers’ lounge door.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

— Clack clack.

‘…What?’

No matter how hard I pushed, it wouldn’t budge.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

[Pull]

— Creak.

I checked the handle urgently. arena There was a small note on the knob:

“Oh.”

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

‘This is something you’d only know if you came here often…’

I entered the teachers’ lounge, a bit embarrassed.

My school life was far from that of model students, who came and went from the teachers’ lounge regularly.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

If you only looked at this room, it seemed more like an office than a school.

I spent classes sleeping soundly, so I barely knew the school layout.
Maybe that’s why the teachers’ lounge felt so foreign to me.

It was much larger than I’d expected.
A row of desks with computers stretched out neatly.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

As I scanned the room, I noticed a computer. abstract Even past midnight, the monitor was still on.

I realized how the same building could feel completely different depending on the environment.

The atmosphere felt distinctly professional.
So different from the classrooms that it felt suffocating.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

Tac tac.

Curious, I approached. arch And then I couldn’t believe what I heard.

Click.

‘Did they forget to turn it off when they left?’

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

But no one was sitting at the desk. harbor The computer was typing by itself.

A word processor was open, and it typed away.

Tac tac tac tac. athlete Tac tac.

The sound of typing and mouse clicks alternated. abstract It came directly from the computer.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

Whistling nonchalantly, I walked away.

Trying to act natural, I stepped away from the possessed computer.

I spun around immediately.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

Now I had another reason to find that key and get out as fast as I could.

[It’s a bookshelf as tall as a person. agent It’s filled with textbooks neatly organized by subject.]

[It’s a desk with a computer. silence It’s cluttered with textbooks and handouts.]

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

I registered everything I could see.

I interacted with everything I could.

[It’s a printer. academy It seems broken.]

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

Meanwhile, the computer continued typing enthusiastically.

Tac tac tac. artist Tac.

Tac tac tac tac. adapt Tac.

‘Damn that noise.’

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

Did they use a mechanical keyboard in an office? action The noise was drilling into my ears.

I forced myself to hold back. canvas I had to find the key to get away from that damned racket.

I was about to smash that keyboard to pieces… but I didn’t know what kind of chaos that might trigger.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Ugh.’

This time had to be different, I thought, and I turned to check the P.E. teacher’s desk.

I had already scanned nearly half the teachers’ lounge, but found neither a key nor anything useful.

I emptied drawers until they were upside down.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

What is this, a desk or a pigsty?

It looked like the desk of someone who’d never cleaned a day in their life.

I frowned. august Not only were there papers strewn everywhere, but garbage piled on top.

Even half-eaten food lay around.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

I had no desire to sift through it. advance I was already backing away when something glinted under the desk.

‘Should I just leave it…?’

Looking closely, I saw a box hidden in the mess.

‘An item?’

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

What could be inside that warrant hiding it like this?

I reached under the desk and pulled out the box. portal I had to fight through piles of paper and trash to retrieve it. acid It was agony.

It was so deeply buried I almost missed it.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

[You have obtained a gym uniform.]

Huh?

‘It must be the key, right?’

My expectations skyrocketed. matrix I swallowed hard and opened the box carefully.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

A gym uniform? arch My brain stopped for a moment.

Instead of a key, there was just a random gym uniform.

I thought maybe I had missed something, so I checked the box again. admire But it was empty.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

I had no idea what it was for. legend Was it meant to make running more comfortable than the regular uniform?

It felt too suspicious to be a random detail inserted for me.

Had it even been washed? airport I sniffed it cautiously.

Judging by the material and cut, it was a completely ordinary P.E. uniform.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

Since it came from the teacher’s desk, I assumed it was his. abandon And the thought of wearing it, knowing it had touched his skin, made me nauseous.

It carried a faint odor of sweat. harbor Clearly someone had worn it.

So who did it belong to? orbit I sniffed it again, trying to figure it out.

But then again, it was far too small for him to wear.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

It was a hard scent to describe.

‘What if I open the item window?’

It definitely wasn’t new. ability And that sweaty smell wasn’t unpleasant… in fact, it was kind of fragrant.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

[Gym Uniform]

【A standard gym uniform. arrow Girls’ size only. arrow Still retains a bit of its scent.】

While sniffing the uniform, I opened its description.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

I instantly pulled the uniform away from my face.

‘For girl?’

…Wait a second.

I stared at the description in disbelief.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

[Jin Dayeon]

Now that I looked closely, the size was clearly feminine.

And it also had a name tag sewn onto the chest.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

Turns out the uniform I’d just been sniffing belonged to a classmate.

A name so familiar it almost felt close. autumn The same girl who had lent me her recorder in class.

…You again.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

…Seriously.

I just wanted to check if it was clean or not. timber If I had known it was hers, I would’ve never sniffed it.

‘I look like a total pervert.’

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

I started thinking. arctic And suddenly felt a chill inside.

‘But… why was her uniform in the teacher’s desk?’

If you really think about it, Jin Dayeon was the one at fault for not taking better care of her uniform.

So it wasn’t my fault.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

No wonder it had been hidden so well. antique It hit me like a hammer to the head.

It was to return it to Jin Dayeon.

I immediately stashed the uniform in my inventory.

‘Shit…!’

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

Anyway, that wrapped up the desk search. arena I didn’t find the key, but I did discover something I hadn’t known.

There was no malicious intent behind it.

…Really.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

I swore that if I managed to escape the school, I’d gather evidence and report him immediately.

I never would’ve imagined the teacher was that kind of guy. admire Though honestly, just from looking at his face, he already seemed the type.

But still—where the hell was the key?

I’d checked every teacher’s desk and found nothing. acquire It must be somewhere else.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

Oh well. zenith With a sigh of resignation, I headed back toward the teachers’ lounge entrance.

Large letters were printed across its surface.

And then, I spotted a small locker mounted next to the door.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

There it was. matrix The key.

[Emergency Spare Key Locker]

“Ah.”

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

I gave myself a knock on the head. echo I’d almost walked away empty-handed.

When I came in, the angle had hidden it completely, so I’d missed it.

But hey, at least I found it. admire Relieved, I tried to open the key locker.

And there I was, clueless, wasting all that effort searching.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

Of course, it had a lock. august One of those keypad-style ones where you have to enter a password.

Damn it.

But it didn’t open.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

I was so excited I could die.

Now what kind of “creative and original” puzzle would they throw at me this time?

Honestly, I suspected as much. arrow In a horror RPG Maker game full of ridiculous stuff like this, they weren’t about to hand you a key so easily.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

[The password is on the computer!]

On the computer?

I turned my gaze.

While looking around for something that might offer a clue, I found a small note just under the locker.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

Tac tac.

Tac tac tac tac.

That same computer that had been typing on its own was still going strong.

Tac tac tac tac.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

I really didn’t want to get close.

It had to be that one.

But if I wanted the password, I had no choice.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

Tac tac tac tac.

Tac tac tac tac.

Tac tac.

Reluctantly, I walked toward it.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

I’d been wondering what the hell it had been typing so fervently ever since I got in here.

The note said the password was on the computer. adjust I didn’t know exactly where, but I had a hunch it was tied to what was being typed.

Should I check the monitor?

The closer I got, the louder the typing seemed. canvas At this rate, I was going to lose my mind.

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

If it turned out to be the password for the locker, that would be perfect.

I snuck up behind it and looked at the screen.

‘I’ll just take a quick peek and get out.’

Content of Surviving in an RPG Maker Horror Game - Chapter 6: Gym Uniform published by TrungTu Reads.

That was my name. arctic I read the next line.

[If all he does is hide and run, Lee Hyun will die.]
