"Auntie, please stop calling me. I'm really afraid your daughter will misunderstand."
Ma Jun put down his phone.
Standing in front of him was Su Ling, the school's officially recognized school beauty.
Her face was flushed red, filled with both embarrassment and anger.
Her chest rose and fell rapidly, and her long, fair legs trembled slightly.
Ma Jun sighed.
"You heard it too. Your mom's pressure is really getting out of hand."
"If you still don't agree, I might not be able to hold back anymore."
"Su Ling, you don't actually want me to become your stepfather, do you?"
Su Ling finally couldn't take it anymore.
She shouted loudly, "Ma Jun, you're absolutely shameless!"
"I will never agree to this—even if…"
Her face suddenly grew even redder, her eyes welling with tears.
"Even if you really became my dad, I still wouldn't agree!"
After saying that, she turned around and ran off.
Her short skirt fluttered in the wind, her pale legs dazzling in the sunlight.
"Hey—don't go!"
Ma Jun looked helpless.
"All I wanted was to borrow your answers to copy for the final exams. Was it really that serious?"
"Did she misunderstand something?"
Su Ling didn't respond, and Ma Jun didn't have time to chase after her.
Because something far more important was waiting for him.
The Shock Horror Game.
In this world, once a person reached the age of sixteen, they had a chance of being pulled into the Shock Horror Game.
Inside the game, the probability of death was extremely high.
But as long as one survived, they could obtain all kinds of extraordinary abilities—
breaking through the limits of mortal life.
Ma Jun had just turned sixteen this year.
He was a transmigrator.
He had crossed into this world sixteen years ago.
When he was six, the Shock Horror Game descended for the first time.
His parents, as part of the first batch of players, were pulled into the game—
And never appeared again.
From that day onward, Ma Jun quietly began gathering information about the Shock Horror Game.
Through years of tireless effort, he uncovered many fragmented clues—
And made a shocking discovery.
This discovery gave him great confidence that he could survive inside the game.
He had been waiting for this day.
For ten whole years.
And today—
It had finally arrived!
…
Ma Jun returned to the house his parents had left behind.
It wasn't big or small—just over ninety square meters, comfortable to live in.
He cleaned the house thoroughly.
The master bedroom had once belonged to his parents.
Everything inside looked exactly the same as it had ten years ago—even the bedsheets and quilt covers hadn't changed.
Ma Jun walked into the master bedroom and silently lay down on the bed.
He turned his head to the side and glanced at the nightstand.
A photograph was placed there.
In the photo was a family of three.
A tall man and a gentle woman smiled warmly.
Between them was a delicate and adorable little boy, lips pursed, his eyes far too mature for his age, tinged with sadness.
Ma Jun sighed softly and murmured,
"Dad… Mom…"
"Those dozen or so child brides you arranged for me back in kindergarten—none of them worked out."
"And honestly, it's all because your son's charm is just too strong."
"If it wasn't their moms, then it was their aunties—every one of them fell for me."
"Well… I'll explain the details when I see you again."
Ma Jun closed his eyes.
His heartbeat gradually sped up.
Tick.
Tick.
Tick.
Finally—
The midnight bell rang!
Buzz!
A black vortex appeared, swallowing Ma Jun whole!
A mechanical voice echoed beside his ears.
"Welcome to the Shock Horror Game!"
Ma Jun instinctively clenched his fists, boundless joy surging from his chest.
He was in!
He opened his eyes.
Before him stood a Gothic-style ancient castle.
At the same time, a translucent system interface appeared.
Here is the continued, faithful English translation of the new segment you provided, keeping the same webnovel tone and consistency with the earlier parts.
[…If your survival time exceeds fourteen days, you will receive an additional reward.]
Ma Jun stared at the familiar family crest atop the ancient castle, the smile on his face slowly widening.
He recognized this place!
Lady Akuna—
she was the famous BOSS he had fought in a game in his previous life,
"Biohazard: Village."
The Eight-Foot Lady!
She was notorious for her towering height, voluptuous figure, and overwhelmingly fiery presence.
As for her three daughters—
he was just as familiar with them!
Three stunning young women, each with a different appearance, each overflowing with charm.
The information he had gathered wasn't wrong!
The dungeon instances of the Shock Horror Game were, for the most part, almost identical to certain literary, film, and game works from his previous life.
That meant—
He already knew the entire plot of these instances.
Whether it was the BOSS's weaknesses, hidden items, or other useful information,
he had everything down perfectly!
Within the Shock Horror Game, he now possessed an absolute advantage.
What others saw as a terrifying game filled with danger at every step, shrouded in layers of fear and uncertainty—
To him, it was completely clear at a glance!
Ma Jun's eyes brimmed with anticipation.
"This time…"
"I'm really going to take off completely!"
