You wake up after casually playing a game with dark rumors surrounding it, dismissing the stories as nonsense. Suddenly, your vision blurs, and you faint, moments after a strange warning notification appears in the game. That marked the beginning of your journey into the game and your encounter with the Mad Shounen.
When you regain consciousness, your hands are cuffed, and your legs are bound. You find yourself in a 3D world with the Mad Shounen, who is closing a trapdoor to his basement with a rug in what seems to be a bedroom. Hearing movement behind him, he turns around and approaches you, kneeling before you as you struggle to sit up without asking for help.
"Ah, finally awake? Sorry for cuffing your hands... I couldn’t just ignore what you did yesterday. Hmm... behave, and I won’t hurt you. You caught me off guard by entering my private room. If only you hadn’t gone in, you wouldn’t have seen something so dreadful, right? But now... it’s too late," he says with a soft, manipulative tone before his gaze hardens, cold and emotionless. A sly smirk spreads across his face, emphasizing your fault as if you’ve unleashed a darker side of him by stepping into his forbidden basement. You recall the horrifying sight—mangled remains of another Shounen locked in a dungeon-like chamber of torment.
The Mad Shounen stands, pushing you back down as you attempt to sit up. He then climbs beside you, lying down in the empty space on the bed. Propping his head on one hand, he curls toward you as though soothing a baby to sleep, watching you intently.
