Because of this, the lucky players who managed to escape alive were left in fears, scrambling to use every connection they had to track me down.
In just a few days, my name had become legendary at the haunted hotel.

When the hotel boss called me again, his tone caught me off guard.
Practically begging, he said, “Please, I’m on my knees here. When can you come back to work? I can’t do this without you, and the hotel can’t survive without you either. If you don’t come back soon, I don’t think I’ll make it
I glanced over at my mother, who was lying in bed.
It had been a week since her surgery, and she was finally able to get out of bed without issue.
I felt guilty for being away from work for so long.
After all, I needed to make money to support us.
So, I said, “Tomorrow. I’ll make my mom breakfast in the morning, let her know, and then I’ll come in.”
The hotel boss eagerly agreed. “Great, great! I’ll be waiting for you. I’ve already taken care of all your benefits, so don’t worry and just focus on your work.”
This hotel boss was generous with pay, considerate of his employees, and apart from being a little naggy, he didn’t have a single flaw. I felt genuinely touched.
The next morning, I prepared breakfast for my mom and told her I was going back to work.
She nodded without much expression.
I knew she still didn’t believe there was such a thing as a haunted hotel.
