Help! My Boyfriend's the Endgame Boss!

My boyfriend tells me he's a monster in a game, but I think he's lying. What monster would have washboard abs and defined obliques? And what monster would keep asking me for hugs and kisses?

Everything changes when I end up in a survival game one day. I'm stuck in a dark, cold ocean when the main boss of the game, a scary tentacled monster, entangles me in its grasp. When it speaks, the voice is gentle and familiar. "Kiss me, Ara."

On Valentine's Day, I told my boyfriend, Cyrus Medford, that I wanted to break up with him because he's often not at home. He even told me that he was a monster in a survival game and needed to return to the game occasionally just to punish the players.

What a joke! As if anyone would believe such far-fetched lies!

Let's not talk about the fact that survival games didn't exist in this world. There was absolutely no way monsters would develop an eight-pack, nor would they demand hugs and kisses from me every day and torment me in bed all the time.

I sent Cyrus the break-up text, fully not expecting him to barge into my room in the middle of the night while completely drenched. He wasted no time in pinning me on my bed.

"Honey, please don't break up with me!" Cyrus might sound pitiful, yet his hands began roaming up and down my body.

He was quick to grab me by my waist, his shallow pants softly fanning across my neck. "I told you that I was on a mission. Next time, I'll get rid of those players faster."

Once Cyrus was done speaking, he leaned over to kiss me. The kiss made me go limp immediately.

Cyrus was handsome and extremely good in bed. It was normal for him to possess a flaw or two. Hence, my heart softened immediately.

"You'd better not do this in the future," I rasped out.

"Okay. I promise you I won't do that ever again."

…

It had been half a month since Cyrus made that promise. In the end, he still went missing.

He never picked up any of my calls. I visited the places he frequented, but I never saw him there. He never came home throughout the week.

It was getting more and more difficult for me to sleep fitfully at night. I kept having nightmares throughout the night.

One night, I was lying on the bed groggily when I heard a loud chime. The next thing I knew, I felt the whole world spinning around me.

[Congratulations, you've joined the survival game as a player!]

[You've triggered "The Veil of Blood Oath"! Dungeon rank: S!]

[Mission objective: You must survive in the village till the end of the ritual!]

[Now, let the game begin…]

Survival game?

My mind cleared up instantly when I heard the familiar phrase.

Wasn't this the survival game Cyrus talked about? How could there be an actual survival game
