The Dark Realm – The Never-Ending Mansion
Chapter 1: The Call of the Dark Night (Part 2)
The giant wooden door of the mansion slowly creaked open.
Beyond it lay complete darkness.
It was so deep that even the beams from their flashlights seemed to disappear after only a few feet.
Sizububu took a deep breath and stepped inside first.
Moco, Tofu, and Rizu followed cautiously behind him.
The moment all four entered...
BANG!
The mansion door slammed shut behind them.
The sound echoed through every hallway.
They rushed back and tried to force it open.
It didn't move.
It felt as though the door had become part of the stone wall itself.
Then...
Footsteps echoed from the second floor.
Thump... Thump... Thump...
Someone was running above them.
The footsteps grew louder.
The four friends quickly pointed their flashlights upstairs...
But there was no one.
Suddenly...
An old grandfather clock in the hallway began ticking by itself.
Tick... Tick... Tick...
Then it struck the hour.
Dong...
Once...
Twice...
Three times...
It didn't stop.
It rang thirteen times.
Moco frowned.
"That's impossible... A clock can't strike thirteen."
The instant he finished speaking...
CRASH!
The glass on the clock shattered into hundreds of pieces.
The broken glass scattered across the floor.
As the four friends looked into the shattered reflections...
They froze.
Behind their reflections stood a fifth person.
The figure was tall and completely motionless.
The friends spun around immediately.
Nothing.
No one was there.
They looked back at the broken glass.
The mysterious figure was still standing behind them...
Smiling.
Its skin was pale like ash.
Its eyes glowed bright red.
In its hand was an old rusty axe.
Suddenly...
Every piece of broken glass turned black.
Blood-red letters slowly appeared across the surface.
"None of you will leave this place alive."
The hallway began to shake violently.
Dust poured from the ceiling.
A rotten smell filled the air.
Tofu slowly turned his flashlight toward the wall.
Names...
Hundreds of names...
Every name had a date carved beside it.
It looked like a record of every person who had died inside the mansion.
Then Rizu noticed something horrifying.
At the bottom of the wall...
Four new names were appearing by themselves.
Sizububu
Moco
Tofu
Rizu
Beside each name...
Today's date slowly carved itself into the stone.
The four friends stood frozen in terror.
Just then...
The little girl appeared again at the far end of the hallway.
This time...
She wasn't holding the broken doll.
She was carrying an old leather diary.
Without saying a word...
She threw it onto the floor.
Then she disappeared into the darkness once again.
Sizububu slowly picked up the diary.
His hands trembled as he opened the first page.
Written in faded ink were the words...
"If you are reading this... the Dark Realm has already chosen you as its next victims."
Before anyone could react...
The pages of the diary began turning on their own.
Faster...
And faster...
As though an invisible force was searching for something.
Then suddenly...
The pages stopped.
A single sentence appeared on the next page.
"Rule Number One: Never answer when something inside this mansion calls your name."
The four friends stared at each other.
None of them realized...
The first test had already begun.
