Death Draw System: Infinite Revives in the Horror Dungeon

Creak...

The moment Mohan, Luxian, and Taishan crossed the threshold, the old wooden door behind them slammed shut with enough force to shake the entire room.

All three instinctively spun around.

"What the—"

Luxian froze.

Her pupils widened in disbelief.

The paper-like decay that had consumed her hands moments earlier was rapidly disappearing. The exposed white bones were covered by fresh skin, muscles knit themselves back together, and within seconds her hands looked completely normal again.

She flexed her fingers in astonishment.

"My hands..."

"They’ve recovered."

Mohan immediately examined himself.

The heavy tombstone that had been protruding from his back no longer weighed him down. The icy presence clinging to his spine had vanished as if it had never existed.

Even Taishan straightened his back, his usually expressionless face showing a trace of surprise.

Mohan let out a relieved breath.

"I guessed correctly."

"This room is a safe zone."

His confidence returned almost instantly.

"I knew there had to be a hidden shelter before the burial was completed."

But before anyone could relax—

Creak... Creak... Crack...

A disturbing sound echoed through the room.

It resembled countless bones snapping one after another.

The warm atmosphere instantly became oppressive.

Hairline cracks spread across the walls.

Then...

Dark red blood slowly seeped through them.

Drip...

Drip...

Drip...

The blood trickled downward like tears.

Mohan’s confident expression disappeared.

"...Something’s wrong."

The walls continued cracking.

The room itself seemed to breathe.

"Quick!"

He immediately barked an order.

"Search everything!"

"We’re missing something!"

Without hesitation, he ripped the bright red quilt from the kang bed.

The cheerful bedding fluttered to the floor.

Everyone fell silent.

The wooden bed beneath it was covered with thousands of deep scratches.

Long claw marks overlapped one another until the wood had almost been carved through.

Broken fingernails were embedded between the grooves.

Some were so deeply lodged that only tiny fragments remained visible.

Dark stains of dried blood soaked into the timber.

Someone...

Had clawed desperately at this bed.

Again and again.

Until every fingernail had broken.

Mohan’s face turned pale.

"This..."

"This wasn’t a wedding bed."

"It was a prison."

Meanwhile, Taishan walked to the Eight Immortals table.

The fruits and wedding snacks looked fresh and inviting.

Without hesitation, he flipped the table over.

Crash!

The offerings scattered across the floor.

The bright red dates burst open—

Not into fruit.

But into human eyeballs.

The peanuts rolled across the ground, transforming into yellowed teeth.

The longan fruit became shriveled fingertips.

Melon seeds twisted into broken fingernails.

The entire floor was instantly covered with grotesque human remains.

Luxian’s stomach churned.

"So everything..."

"...was fake."

Her attention shifted toward the colorful paper cranes hanging above the bed.

One.

Two.

Three.

They swayed gently in the warm light.

A thought surfaced.

"The bride gave Shen Yu a paper crane."

"And these cranes..."

"...are hanging in the room where she was imprisoned."

Her breathing quickened.

"So..."

"This really was Yun Han’s room."

She carefully reached out.

Her fingertips gently touched one crimson paper crane.

For a heartbeat...

Nothing happened.

Then—

Puff!

The paper crane suddenly inflated like a living organ.

Veins rapidly spread beneath its paper surface.

It expanded into a grotesque blood-filled sac.

"What—"

Boom!

The swollen paper crane exploded.

Dark, foul-smelling blood splashed directly across Luxian’s face.

"Aah!"

She staggered backward.

A burning pain erupted across her skin.

Instinctively she reached toward her face.

The moment her fingers touched her cheek...

She screamed.

Countless thick veins bulged beneath her skin.

They pulsed violently like worms crawling beneath flesh.

The black-purple veins spread rapidly from her cheeks...

To her neck...

Across her shoulders...

Toward her chest.

It looked as though something alive was growing inside her body.

"It hurts!"

"It hurts!"

Luxian collapsed to her knees, desperately scratching at her face.

But every scratch only caused more veins to emerge.

The room itself responded.

Crack!

Crack!

The walls began folding inward.

The wooden beams twisted like softened candy.

The warm little house slowly lost its shape.

Blood poured endlessly through widening cracks.

The ceiling peeled away in enormous sheets.

Only...

It wasn’t plaster.

It resembled layers of blood-soaked paper.

They curled downward toward the three intruders.

The room itself was swallowing them alive.

Mohan stared blankly.

"...Why?"

He couldn’t understand.

"This place felt so warm..."

"So peaceful..."

"Why..."

"...was everything another trap?"

His voice echoed helplessly.

No one answered.

The blood-paper walls rolled toward them.

Like gigantic crimson scrolls.

Like funeral offerings burned for the dead.

They wrapped around Taishan first.

The silent giant struggled fiercely.

His enormous strength proved completely useless.

The blood-paper tightened around his body.

Soon...

He disappeared.

Then Luxian.

Her screams grew fainter as the blood-soaked sheets wrapped around her completely.

Only one terrified cry escaped before she vanished.

Finally...

The walls reached Mohan.

He attempted to activate Future Echo again.

Nothing happened.

The paper engulfed him.

His final expression was one of utter disbelief.

Within moments...

The once cozy room became perfectly silent again.

Nothing remained.

Meanwhile...

Inside the crimson coffin.

Thud.

Shen Yu shifted slightly, trying to make room inside the impossibly cramped space.

Unfortunately...

The groom’s corpse occupied most of it.

"...Sorry, brother."

He awkwardly nudged the shriveled corpse to one side.

"I need to borrow a little space."

The corpse naturally offered no objections.

Oddly enough...

Despite lying beside a decades-old corpse...

The coffin carried no foul odor.

Instead...

A faint fragrance of ink lingered in the enclosed darkness.

It smelled like old books.

Brushes.

Freshly ground inkstones.

Almost comforting.

Outside—

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The sound of nails being hammered into the coffin echoed repeatedly.

Each strike sealed them deeper beneath the earth.

Shen Yu didn’t even glance upward.

He had never believed Mohan’s deductions.

Compared to Future Echo...

He trusted his own instincts.

And...

The strange strategy system that had guided him this far.

Slowly turning his head, he looked toward the bride lying beside him.

The enormous crimson veil shifted gently.

As if sensing his gaze.

Then...

It slowly turned toward him.

"...You?"

Her voice was incredibly soft.

Clear.

Gentle.

Like the sound of a wind chime beneath moonlight.

Shen Yu smiled.

"When someone suffers injustice..."

"...how can I pretend not to see it?"

"I couldn’t save you from above."

"So..."

"I decided to come down here instead."

"If we’re both going to be buried..."

"...then at least you won’t be alone."

He chuckled lightly.

"Honestly..."

"Being buried beside a beautiful young lady sounds much better than getting beaten to death by those stone monsters."

"They say that dying beneath the peony makes one a romantic ghost."

For the first time...

The bride actually corrected him.

"...That isn’t what the poem means."

Shen Yu laughed.

"I know."

"But it sounds fitting enough right now."

The bride remained silent.

After several seconds she whispered,

"...You shouldn’t be here."

Shen Yu tilted his head.

"Really?"

"Then let me ask you something."

He looked directly toward the veil.

"You shouldn’t be here either."

The words struck her harder than he expected.

Her shoulders trembled.

Slowly...

The crimson bridal veil slipped from her face.

Shen Yu finally saw her clearly.

She wasn’t the flawless beauty painted in legends.

Years of hardship had darkened her skin.

Her once-delicate features carried traces of exhaustion.

Her hair had been cut short unevenly.

Yet none of that diminished her beauty.

Instead...

It made her seem heartbreakingly real.

Her oval face remained exquisite.

Her bright eyes shimmered beneath long lashes.

When their eyes met...

A faint blush quietly spread across her cheeks.

Like rosy clouds appearing after a summer rain.

She lowered her gaze shyly.

Her lips pressed together.

Soft.

Pink.

Like fresh strawberries kissed by morning dew.

Shen Yu couldn’t help smiling.

"A flower needs neither crimson nor pale blue to prove its beauty."

"What is naturally graceful surpasses every blossom."

A familiar notification appeared before his eyes.

Ding!

Yun Han’s Favorability +3.

Current Favorability: 21.

The girl looked away immediately.

"...Has anyone ever told you..."

"...that you’re shameless?"

Shen Yu laughed.

"I’ve heard that once or twice."

Realizing she had instinctively turned her back toward him in the cramped coffin, Yun Han suddenly stiffened.

A faint squeak escaped her lips.

She quickly rolled onto her back again, pretending nothing had happened.

Only the tips of her ears had turned bright red.

Shen Yu found the reaction unexpectedly adorable.

Compared with the cold and aloof Yang Jin...

Yun Han felt like the gentle girl next door.

Pure.

Kind.

Innocent.

Someone who should never have ended up inside a coffin.

His smile gradually faded.

"...Yun Han."

"Why are you here?"

The question lingered in the darkness.

The blush slowly disappeared from her face.

Her bright eyes dimmed.

She lowered her head.

For a long while...

She said nothing.

Finally...

She whispered so softly that it was almost impossible to hear.

"...I’m sorry."

"...Father."

"...Mother."

A lonely sigh escaped her trembling lips.

The warm atmosphere inside the coffin instantly turned heavy with sorrow.

For the first time...

Shen Yu realized that the greatest prison surrounding Yun Han was never the coffin itself—

It was the memories she had carried into it.
