Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work

A few hours later.

“What the hell...!”

The employee wearing the ladybug mask hurriedly wiped the sweat from his neck, hidden in the bathroom next to the resort lobby, panting heavily.

Everything around him seemed to spin.

‘What the hell is going on?’

What is this?

When entering a new darkness without a manual, one at least prepares themselves mentally, but what was happening now was so sudden that he couldn’t collect his thoughts….

‘I… I definitely entered as a guest!’

That damn security team monster turned into a mascot and dragged him into the creepypasta as part of the staff…!

As an employee of this place.

And now, the Cheerful Theme Park Resort area was about to begin operations.

The ladybug mask employee swallowed.

‘...Is there any way I can sneak out?’

He could steal the stamp, stamp it, and rush to the gate.

‘If I could just get the choke cord off...’

At that moment.

Squeak.

“…!”

The bathroom door opened, and two field exploration team employees entered.

“You’re here. Take this outside.”

The mouse employee waved a piece of paper.

The employee, terrified by the security team monster, seemed to have changed his attitude after the monster stamped the boarding pass.

He had actually followed the instruction to tidy up and wait for the opening preparations!

It seemed like he had completely given up on escaping.

‘Idiot!’

The ladybug employee tried to suppress his disgust, reaching for the paper reluctantly....

Flower Golden Resort Work Rules

“…!!”

The newly revamped dream resting space, our luxurious and comfortable resort, welcomes you as part of the family.

Before you begin your shift, please make sure to review the important guidelines below.

“Guidelines for work, but these seem to be in the employee’s room... Deputy?”

The ladybug employee swallowed and lowered his gaze to the document.

1. Adhere to your assigned working hours.
2. Do not leave your designated workplace without permission.
3. In the event of an emergency, kindly inform the mascot. They will handle everything.
4. During break times, you are free to roam the resort, but it is advised to carry your uniform’s bow tie. It will verify your identity in case of emergency.
5. The mascot’s office is a restricted area. However, during resignation interviews, knock politely before entering. Never enter without an invitation from the mascot.
6. Guests’ requests must be met, and if necessary, you must perform procedures like opening your skin to provide organs for service.
7. Do not attack the mascot. Any damages will be billed as overtime.

The eerie and strange phrases.

It was like a creepy rulebook for a creepypasta.

‘Damn...’

Cold sweat trickled down the back of the ladybug employee.

Having already managed a similar darkness in his team, he trembled, desperately wanting to reject the idea, but he reluctantly gathered the document.

He knew this was a hint, at least.

But there were too many uncertainties. Just like with any darkness.

So....

‘...I need to get someone else to break the rules.’

That’s how it had to be confirmed.

The employee hid his ominous gaze and looked around at the others.

Then, in a subtle tone, he spoke.

“Hey, what do you think about this, everyone?”

“Pardon?”

“I mean, these rules suddenly popped up, right? Do you think they were made up by the security team mascot on the spot?”

His voice lowered further.

“Do you think they’re just some fabricated nonsense from the mascot because they’ve been ‘corrupted’?”

“…!”
