Input:IY
I entered IY into the input field of the status window to open my inventory.
[■] [■] [■] [■] [■] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
The moment the inventory opened, I moved the status window over to the sleeping woman...
[■] [■] [■] [■] [■] [■] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
‘It actually worked.’
The woman who had been sleeping in my arms vanished, and one of the empty slots in the status window was now filled.

Input:
I hit the return button right away, sending us back to the safe zone.
‘You can even put living people in the inventory?’
Once my foggy vision cleared up and returned to normal.
I opened the inventory again to take out Room 1001’s woman, and checked the status window...
Age: 24
Height: 171.2 cm
Weight: 54.5 kg
Sanity:62 / 100
A woman born to a Korean-Japanese couple.
“Oh... no, not quite.”
I pulled the woman out from the status window without hesitation.
I covered her still-sleeping body with a blanket and opened the community to announce our safe return.
“I thought she was Japanese, but she’s Korean-Japanese mixed...”
Thank goodness things worked out with storing Room 1001’s woman, Ms. Choi Min-ah, in the status window to bring her along.
If it hadn’t gone smoothly... could I have really kept my promise to hit return?
‘I might’ve held out there for a few more days.’
I’m just glad everything worked out perfectly.
That was all I could say.
“...What? Someone already gathered 2,000 dolls?”
As I was lost in various thoughts.
I saw posts from people who had already collected 2,000 dolls.
I quickly explained the method I used to rescue the woman.
lolololololololololol this is insane lolololololololol
??? What now?
Okay, let me sum it up. Big Whale put a living person in his inventory lololololololololololololol
Oh
lolololololololololololololol
lololololololololololololololololololol
How did you even think to stuff a living person into the inventory lolol treating people like items, classic Big Whale lololol
Huh? That’s not it...!
In Japan, they didn’t even know what the inventory was.
True, even if they knew, they couldn’t use it without permission. I checked already.
Oh really? It’d be nice if we could all use it...
Big Whale has a good heart and all. If only he didn’t use sanity attacks on living people or stuff them in inventory lololol
The idea of putting a living person in inventory is just ridiculous lololololololol
No... she was asleep...
Big Whale... sleeping isn’t invincible, buddy?
Sleeping... isn’t... invincible...? (Big Whale’s world begins to crumble.)
I’m not that dumb.
So you knew and still tried sanity attack + inventory on a living person???
Uh... well... wait... no, but give me a break on the inventory, I did it to save her...
After I explained how I rescued the woman...
They seemed shocked at the fact that I thought to put a living person in the inventory.
No...
‘...I was trying to save her.’
Even if the process was a bit rough.
Using a sanity attack on the sleeping woman was something I had to do to get survival info.
And stuffing the sleeping woman in the inventory was also something I had to do to save her, right?
Of course...
They were probably just teasing, but I didn’t want Ms. Choi Min-ah, who had just woken up, to see this and get the wrong idea.
“Sigh... whatever.”
Anyway.
Didn’t we make it out alive?
I decided to be happy that we achieved the original goal of rescuing the newbie.
“I’m tired, and I’m hungry too.”
Having gone so long without a proper meal or sleep.
After grabbing a quick bite and planning to take a nap, I checked how much money I had.
“How much do I have... ...Huh?”
Last I checked, my DL had about 20,000 dolls...
[Withdraw: ] [Sell: ]
Now there were 60,000 dolls.
‘...What? Did I always have this much money...?’
When I realized clearing a ghost story really paid big time with the dolls nearly tripling.
Suddenly.
I remembered Anonymous 1 talking about Japanese people and blacksmith items in the Two-Man Night Guard ghost story.
‘Hiss... Should I save up and buy one?’
I started wanting to buy one of those expensive items that cost 70-90k dolls each.
‘If it’s made by a monster, it’s gotta be way better than what I make.’
I watched Choi Min-ah for a bit as she copied sanity with items and earned dolls with the copied sanity.
‘She’s adapted well.’
It had already been two days since she started staying with me.
Compared to how she cried all day when she first realized she survived...
Diligently copying sanity now was huge progress.
“Um, I can apply your correction now.”
“You’re short on dolls anyway. Wouldn’t it be better to focus on earning until you have some starting funds?”
“No. This is enough for me.”
She didn’t have a lot of dolls right now.
No ghost stories cleared that gave bonuses, no monsters killed personally, so it couldn’t be helped...
But luckily, I had tons of items she could use to copy sanity to me.
She was using those to copy dolls every day, building up starting funds.
And in the process, she insisted on giving me corrections four times a day to repay the favor...
It was appreciated, but also a bit burdensome.
‘What’s this different from taking lunch money from kids...’

Input:
Thanks to her, I could raise my total sanity by 10 a day...
But wasn’t taking money from newbies the worst?
Just like the community folks who protected me fiercely when I was a newbie, didn’t I have a duty to protect newbies too...
“Hmm... no helping it. I’ll buy food today, let’s eat together.”
“Hehe... A Set is enough for me.”
“Let’s get the F Set.”
“Th-that’s too expensive...!”
“F Set has a lot, so we can share one.”
“That’s... um... o-okay...”
For now, I decided to let Choi Min-ah, who’d only ever gotten A Sets, try the F Set.
‘This item’s pretty decent too.’
A guard uniform made by something clumsily imitating a human.
Increases max sanity by 14.
I read the description of the item I’d hand over to Anonymous 1 during exchange time in 30 minutes.
‘With this, Anonymous 1 can copy dolls too.’
The moment even one item appears, everyone here can copy dolls.
From then on, they could steadily earn 1,000 dolls a day.
So my goal was to get every Korean here at least one item first...
[Where... is this?]
“Huh? A new newbie?”
I saw a title that looked like a new newbie posted.
I clicked it right away.
[Where... is this?]
I don’t remember how I ended up here lololol
Whew, might as well dig up some basic info since I’m here.
...Huh?
What’s wrong?
Wait, time; time...? What the hell is this?
??? What happened?
What’s going on? Why? Is that guy not human? A monster?
No, he’s human... but... get the mod quick, hurry
??? What’s happening here?
I’m scared. Why’s everyone acting weird?
...JH, you’re alive?
What? Would I be posting if I was dead?
...Then why no contact for a year...?
What are you talking about lololol why is everyone suddenly suspicious of me. Cut it out lololol
IP matches JH’s from a year ago when contact was lost.
...Why are you scaring me like this, mod?
Found the link, holy shit...
I could tell something I didn’t know about was unfolding.
‘...What’s this?’
To figure out what was happening, I clicked the link Anonymous 1 posted...
[Where... is this?]
I don’t remember how I ended up here lololol
Whew, might as well dig up some basic info since I’m here.

Post whatever you can. I’m compiling data.

Not posting for 30 min after entering a ghost story? Rude af.

Read your DMs.
Not a single word different... it was the exact same post from the past.
“...Can we eat after exchange time?”
“Ah, yes...! Whatever’s convenient for you, Big Whale.”
Welcome to Unfair University Hospital.
We promise to do our utmost to treat our patients.
Below are the rules that all inpatients must follow.
1. Your room is assigned on the day of admission.
Our hospital has two wings: A and B.
Please be careful not to mix up your room.
2. Never run in the hospital corridors.
The hospital is for everyone.
The moment you run, other patients will feel uncomfortable.
3. Do not wander outside your room from 9 PM to 1 AM.
Our nurses cannot protect you during that time.
4. Meals are limited to two per day.
However, no meals the day before surgery.
5. Follow the instructions of our nurses and caregivers.
Our staff always do their best for your health.
6. If you have trouble reaching the bathroom, please use the help bell.
7. If the bathroom door locks from the outside, calmly knock three times.
If it’s nothing serious, the door will open in 3-5 minutes.
7-1. If it doesn’t open after 3-5 minutes, lock yourself in the second stall and wait.
After about 10 minutes, the locked door will open, but do not go outside.
The patient who locked the door is blind from eye surgery complications and is wandering to find healthy eyes.
8. Ignore any child’s crying in the corridor.
The birth of new life should always be filled with joy.
8-1. If the crying sounds unnatural, do not leave your room that day.
The child wanders the corridors hungry, searching for food, keeps walking back and forth endlessly.
9. If you see someone hanged in the opposite room, immediately press the help bell.
Leaving the hospital without doctor permission is forbidden.
Our staff who monitor your activities are drafting new rules.
Rules may update anytime, so check your room’s rulebook once a day.
