Alex stumbled, blinking rapidly, as his vision adjusted.
Where he had landed was… strange.
A massive mansion rose before him — dark, elegant, and unnervingly alive. Its gothic towers scraped the sky, and every window flickered with uneven, golden light. The night wind carried laughter, muffled screams, and a faint melody that shouldn't have been cheerful but somehow was.
A chill crawled up his spine.
[Destination confirmed: Great Grand Masti World]
"The what now world?" Alex muttered, frowning.
As he took a cautious step forward, the old iron gates creaked open on their own. The double doors of the mansion groaned and swung wide, like something—or someone—was waiting for him.
"Well… that's welcoming," he said under his breath. "Definitely difficult, but enjoyable."
He walked inside.
The interior was wild — chandeliers glowed crimson, candles floated in midair, and laughter echoed from unseen corners. The corridors pulsed with energy, as if the house itself was alive and mocking him.
Everywhere he looked, shadows moved. A whisper of perfume brushed past his ear, followed by a faint giggle.
Alex exhaled slowly. "Okay, System. What exactly am I dealing with?"
[Hint: Host has entered a dimension where three friends tried to sell this mansion. Inside dwells a ghost — Ragini — a virgin spirit whose father forbade her from meeting men. She now seduces trespassers, but those who give in to her… die.]
Alex arched an eyebrow. "Oh? So she's the ghostly heartbreaker type."
[Sub-Mission Unlocked: Capture the heart of the female ghost, Ragini.]
Reward: Flesh Condensing Pill + 500 Points.
He grinned faintly. "Capture her heart, huh? Guess the System's not subtle."
He flexed his hands, feeling the quiet thrum of energy beneath his skin — the Alpha Aura radiating confidence and calm.
"Alright, let's see how this works on a ghost."
The air shifted.
From the top of the grand staircase, a red glow appeared.
Then she stepped into view — tall, graceful, and draped in a flowing crimson dress that shimmered like liquid silk. Her hair cascaded down her shoulders, and her eyes glowed faintly gold, equal parts sorrow and temptation.
Alex's breath caught.
[Warning: High-level supernatural entity detected.]
He smirked lightly. "Yeah, I figured."
The mansion around him groaned — staircases twisting, walls breathing, doors sliding open and shut like shifting ribs.
"This place is alive," he muttered.
Still, he straightened, confidence returning to his stride.
"Alright, mansion or not… here I come."
And with that, Alex stepped forward — unaware that Ragini's golden eyes were already following his every move.
