After I Turned a Horror Game into a Parenting Simulation Game

: Family of Four

I'm a housewife with OCD and a severe obsession with cleanliness who accidentally entered a family-raising game.

I beat up my rebellious son, roughed up my adorable daughter, and even unpicked the stitches on my husband's corpse-like body just to sew them back on again.

The day I cleared the game, the three of them were a sniffling mess as they saw me off.

It wasn't until the final scoring that I learned the truth. My handsome Husband was a horror game's Main Boss, my Son was The Grim-faced God who ensured no player ever survived, and my lovely Daughter had once bitten the heads off 100 different players!

Huh? I thought this was supposed to be a family-raising game. So I was in a horror game all along?

[Welcome to "The Family of Four" game instance.]

[Please play your role of "Mom" well.]

[Objective: Survive for 10 days and safely board the plane back to the real world.]

[Players: 100. Survivors: 100.]

[In the real world, you are in a vegetative state. You can only awaken by successfully clearing the game. Death in the game is permanent. We wish you all a pleasant game.]

I'm a full-time housewife. I was in a car accident on my way home from grocery shopping.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a game world.

The name alone made it sound like a family-raising game.

I quietly sized up my surroundings. I was surrounded by other players who had also been pulled into the game.

Many of the players were terrified of their new surroundings. A few of the men were already screaming profanities.

A veteran player in the crowd, Brother Yates, began to explain, "This is an Infinite Flow Game. The only way to clear it and be revived is to get an SSS-Rank Score. Otherwise, you'll be killed by the Instance Boss."

"So how do we get that score?" a girl who looked like a student asked.

Brother Yates sighed. "You have to get the favorability of every boss in the instance to 100. Only then can you leave. But so far, not a single player has managed it."

The student-like girl clutched her head and started sobbing. "I want to go home! I miss my mom!"

Her despair was clearly contagious, and others began to wipe away their own tears.

'I didn't really get it. Isn't this just a family-raising game?'

'Why is everyone so scared?'

'This won't do. I need to clear this game and get out of here, fast.'

'If I'm not home, who's going to pick up the kids from school? Who's going to clean the kitchen? Who's going to help with homework?'

'My Husband will definitely go to bed without washing his feet!'

'The very thought made my blood pressure shoot up to 180!'

The veteran player in the crowd was staring at me like I was insane.

"This newbie's gotta be crazy. We're playing with our lives on the line here!"

"She's calm now, but she'll be crying her eyes out soon enough. This is The Family of Four instance, after all!"

Scrolling comments zipped across my vision.

"This newbie is fearless, but only because she's ignorant. Let's see if she's still not crying the second she steps inside. I've never seen anyone make it through The Family of Four with all their limbs intact."

"Exactly. I bet she doesn't even know you die if your Sanity Points hit zero."

"I can't wait to see her get her head blown off by the Instance Boss the moment she walks through the door. Hahahaha."
