Sui Xiong had never imagined that someone would actually turn the horror experience game he had jokingly named Infinite Terror into an adventure game.
According to his design, these rookie adventurers were supposed to search the old castle for an entire day and find nothing. Forced to stay the night within its walls, they would be attacked by an evil spirit. When one companion fell and the players themselves stood on the brink of death, the earthbound spirit formed from the old loyal servant would arrive to help. Together, they would barely manage to destroy the evil spirit, after which the old servant, having exhausted the magic that sustained him, would entrust the players with finding the descendants of the castle's owner before vanishing in the first light of dawn.
This story was not fabricated, of course. It was the personal experience of one of his believers from long ago. That believer had been a man who kept his promises. He had spent nearly twenty years searching everywhere before finally finding the castle's heir, then bringing that heir—by then a small merchant—back to visit the castle.
Regrettably, too much time had passed, and a new lord now ruled the area. They had failed to reclaim the castle that should have belonged to the merchant, and the story never received a perfect ending.
Nearly fifty years had passed since then, but Sui Xiong felt that it was a good story, one well worth letting others experience.
It was just... judging by Yui's approach, she might genuinely lead this adventuring party made entirely of rookie trainees to kill the evil spirit without needing the old servant's help.
She might even take the old servant down along the way.
