Japanese ghost stories...
At the mention of this, everyone's hearts sank.
Players of the killing games generally believed that when it came to ghost stories, or horror literature, the terror level of East Asian ghost stories far exceeded that of other regions. In European and American horror literature, whether the protagonist was a Vampire, Werewolf, Witch, piranha, deformed doll, or a Chainsaw Maniac, at least they had tangible forms, allowing for physical contact. This meant players could fight back even if they hadn't figured out a pattern.
In East Asian ghost stories, however, the protagonists were often Spiritual Bodies filled with intense grudges and hatred due to unjust treatment. They were often invisible, intangible, and uncontactable, leaving players vulnerable to being killed in an instant, regardless of whether they were clad in heavy Bulletproof Vests, wielding Gatling guns, or armed to the teeth.
