Chapter 1


    The dark red blood flowing from the corpse by the chandelier reminds me that my body is already dead. The fishy smell of blood... I could smell it even in the mirror. It sucks...


    Worse still, the mansion has a risk of copsing because of the chandelier falling. I became uneasy and started fiddling with my hands, realizing these white, soft hands aren''t mine.


    The girlish voice that leaks out from time to time, and this bun hair that keeps getting in the way, are also very confusing.


    It''s quiet. There was no sign of the mansion copsing. I finally took a breath. Changing bodies is a big deal, but if the mansion copses, you''ll die right away...


    After getting out of the crisis, it became a rtively insignificant matter, so I was able to calmly ept it. Suddenly bing a woman. He''s not even human, he''s a monster.¹


    Usually, when your body changes like this, you look in the mirror and ask yourself, "Is this... Me?" I''m in the mirror, and while I can move between them, my reflection doesn''t appear.


    ...


    Time has passed since E''s death. Five days. For five days I was trapped in the mirror of the mansion.


    Have I been exploring all this time? Of course, I tried a lot of things. I examined E''s abilities as a monster. One of them is [Mirror Movement].


    As long as it''s a mirror in the mansion, you can move to it. I checked the inside of the mansion with this... But there was no significant gain.


    There was nothing more to know about E... At least, a few children''s books were found... In the first ce, I know E''s backstory from the game lore.


    Pitiful... No, not pitiful, the psychopath girl [E Trapped In A Mirror]. As in all horror games, it doesn''t exin everything about the monsters, so it''s not certain what I know, as the spections are based on foreshadowing and clues, but... It''s probably urate.


    E was born in a western family. She was not unlucky, rather, she was born into a wealthy family and enjoyed all sorts of luxuries, but she had one strange desire.


    She has a mad desire to kill people. Despite her young age, E killed small animals in therge mansion to avoids prying eyes, and ended up killing one of her attendants by faking it as an ident.


    The first attempt was difficult, but after that she killed the people in the mansion one by one, until she killed her own parents.


    Only then the people close to the dead identified E as the culprit and came together to set fire in the mansion. Seeing that, E stabbed herself in the throat while in front of the mirror.


    <em>-Now there''s only me left~</em>


    She was smiling as she watched herself die...


    "Crazy bitch..."


    Now she died again, except this time with my body.


    There is one inconsistency here. That is the very existence of this mansion. It''s strange that after Emitted suicide the mansion didn''t burn down.


    It''s also contradictory that the mansion has an ideal number of mirrors, and above all, it doesn''t make sense that the mansion that should''ve been in the West is in Korea, as shown in the game settings.


    Well, it''s a game where Slenderman, Gargoyle, Eight Ghosts, and other non-ghosts in our country pop out all over the ce, so it''s not something I should pay attention to...²


    And E''s second ability is that she can physically interfere with the outside world. But it''s not possible to materialize her body outside the mirror.


    I held the knife in my hand and stared at one of the candles outside the mirror. I cut the air with the knife, like drawing a line on a paper.


    A candle that has been cut and dripped. This is the ability that allows E to kill people with her slender arms. Other than cutting with a knife, the physical force that can be exercised is weak, so I can''t use it properly, but I have no choice.


    Thest one is the ability to pull something into a mirror. This can only be used when someone touches the mirror. I think E used this on me, but I don''t know if there''s other ways to use it.


    It can suck up the dust that is stuck on the mirror. So it''s useless when no one is around.


    "Sigh..."


    There is nothing more I can do. I''d do anything to get out of the mansion. I''ve checked everything.


    "Ah."


    There''s something I haven''t checked yet.


    The body of a beautiful girl who I am now.


    Nope. No way. Being caught up in this nonsensical incident and touching a girl''s body! Absolutely uneptable.


    "..."


    Being conscious of it, I feel a emptiness in my groin. A heaviness in the chest, too. My face was filled with shame.


    I can''t be stressed out like this. Let''s practice exercising physical force outside the mirror once again.


    Because it''s in a mountain, if you roll the mirror down, you might be able to get outside. As long as there''s a reflection, I will be able to get into it somehow, so if I go down the streets full of ss, I will be able to move anywhere.


    Honestly, I haven''t tried it, so I''m just guessing.


    Still, I was training all day.


    And on the third day, while cleaning my blood and flesh scattered on the floor, I finally seeded! What I seeded? Bang! To closing and throwing things away.


    And this has be possible. I lifted one of the spoons in the distance and pulled it.


    A spoon that enters the mirror. I was good at pushing, but it was difficult to pull, but the control of physical power... No, telekinesis has also greatly increased!


    In this game, when the main character and the others entered the mansion, the main door was closed to prevent escaping, so the original E must have been stronger. But I am gradually catching up to that power.


    Even so, with this level of power, preparation is perfect. Let''s send it down the mountain carefully to keep the mirror from breaking. Even if there is no ss, if it rains, I will be able to get through the puddles.


    I''m half convinced that this method works. What bothers me is why didn''t E try this method in the first ce?


    I can only guess one thing.


    [Game Authority].


    Didn''t I say it was strange that this mansion was located in Korea? This is an extension of it.


    E is the first monster you encounter, but she is also a tutorial boss. In order for her to fight properly, she needs to have a stage where she can move actively and a level of difficulty that she can easily y around, so her mansion, which is her main stage, is unusually full of mirrors.


    Of course, it makes no sense for the boss to be able to leave the mansion, and even this world, which has been brought to reality, cannotpletely ignore suchws.


    Yes, E implicitly has the [Premise] that she can''t go outside... That''s why, unless you''re an irregr like me, you wouldn''t have even thought that you could go out like this. But I''m different.


    I don''t follow that mon sense". Because I''m a being with a will independent of themon sense of this world.


    Shall we try it?


    When I was about to throw a mirror out of the mansion with telekinesis.


    Squeak...


    The front door of the mansion opened.


    Who the hell? Who would dare to enter such a suspicious mansion?


    Huh? No way?


    Only then she remembered the existences she had put aside.


    Four children who show up. The protagonist and extras of this story. One of the extras who is brutally murdered at the start, and an unlucky protagonist who eventually ends up being chased by E.


    The [Mystery Investigation Club].


    With a hopeless future, they have entered the prologue.
