Chapter 10: Room 101, Cursed Room – ‘A Strange Family’ (5) Fin

Chapter 10: Room 101, Cursed Room – ‘A Strange Family’ (5) Fin

It was a noisy morning.

Ah! Fucking hell. How many times do I have to say it? Im not going! Are you deaf?

Seungyub. Im not telling you to stop playing games I saw an article yesterday. You said you wanted to become a professional League of Legends player right? Apparently, most of them earn money overseas, and Europe and America pay the best. How hard would it be for you to learn English from scratch when you become a professional later on? I just want you to learn English at least when you still have some time.

I told you Im not going to go to those language schools.

Please do as I say this time. That school is famous for hammering in English words very well. Lets just go there for 2 months.

Hammer English words in?

Nn. The teachers there are famous for being great at hammering English words into the skin. Seungyub, youre clever so I think 2 months will be enough for you to memorise the basic words.

I was hearing a lot of strange words today. Hammer English words into the skin? That might be a unique expression about effectively wedging in English into your brain.

Of course, it had nothing to do with me whether they hammered or wedged those in.

Because I didnt feel like talking anymore to my mum, I closed the door and went back into my room.

I skipped lunch again today.

However, there were no regrets, because I was one step closer to diamond, the tier of my dreams!

Now, there were only 2 people in Shindong Middle Schools League of Legends group chat that were higher tier than me.

At around 5 pm, dad returned after apparently finishing his work.

Kung kung kung kung.

Seungyub! You! Open the door and come out right now!

I could hear the enraged voice of my dad from the other side of the door. Seriously, I had no idea why dad was always so eager to tell me off every time.

However, I still left because I didnt want to get smacked on my head again.

What.

I heard from your mum. Are you not going to go to the Inco language school that your mum and I looked for? And why did you skip your lunch and stay holed up in your room again? I just dont understand!

Ah, it was so annoying. Its not like I was requesting something great or expensive from my parents. I was simply practising League of Legends to achieve my dream, so why were they always so desperate to harass me?

I just could not understand what these boomers wanted from me.

Pro gamer this, pro gamer that. I get frustrated whenever I hear you say that. Do you think Im a fool? I looked into it myself. A famous gamer said it on a stream, that the score or tier or whatever at least had to be at masters to become a professional. What? Platinum? You cant even become a substitute with a score like that.

Hiding behind the door, I was trembling for 30 minutes when suddenly, strange memories popped up in my head.

Strange people a large ahjussi with a tremendously big body, a noona looking like an angel, a cute noona resembling a chipmunk, a handsome but strange hyung who always blankly looks at the air, and a scary lady who looks like a school teacher.

Who were they? Their faces were too vivid for it to be because of a mere imagination.

I thought deeper and deeper into it.

Morning; was it yesterday morning? I was in a scary building when I woke up. Running away from a monstrous monkey, I was helped by a bulky ahjussi. Then, we went after the strange hyung and

I think we talked a lot. Did we? It also felt like I was in an illusion by myself, buried in a myriad of thoughts. It was confusing. It was scary and strange.

Kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung kung.

This time, it wasnt the sound of my heartbeat. It was clearly that of a knock. My parents did not knock ignorantly like that, and only after thinking that did I come to my senses.

This is not my home. They are not my parents.

Opening the window, I ripped out the mosquito screen.

Third floor it was too high to jump down. But thinking of how I might die to that thing outside the door if I hesitated too much, my heart felt like it would stop anytime soon.

Fortunately, there was a car nearby. If I jumped well, I might be able to land on that car.

Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub Seungyub.

They werent even trying to hide their madness anymore!

Mindlessly, I jumped and landed on top of the car. I felt my body crumbling all around and unknowingly let out a scream.

I saw Captain America jumping down dozens of floors and sprinting just fine, but as expected, that wasnt the same for me.

Tears gushed out of my eyes. It was frightening. Where was this place? Who were those people?

It was very painful, but I ran on and on regardless. And at one point

Everything faded away. As if I was all alone in complete darkness

/You have successfully escaped!

The scariest age group in the world: Grade 2 of Middle School! By completely shutting off your conversation and contact with your strange parents, and by immersing yourself in the Summoners Rift, you were able to suppress the contamination and finally discover something strange about your parents.

As expected, the forged madness of the strange family pales in comparison to the true madness of an unstoppable middle school student.

You have escaped the curse, but you sense the root cause of the curse still persists.

One of your team has successfully escaped! Congratulations! The successful escape allows everyone to return safely./
