Mary's Hellpark

I want to decapitate a doll

If this is their idea of an amusement park, I have no idea how they picture hell. I have a super strong urge to punch someone in the face right now and I am very sure that it is not what an amusement park is supposed to make anyone feel.

I mean come on. I'm just five minutes into this ridiculous amusement park. In those five minutes, I am already strapped to this super uncomfortable, weird technology chair. To boot, I have to listen to a creepy and glowing baby doll talk in a kid's voice in a dimly lit room.

I am going to die.

"Welcome to Mary's Amusement Park!" The doll hangs down from the high ceiling, its hands and feet tied with nylon strings. "I am Mary, and I will be your guide for your adventure!" It points to itself, its smile spreads wider—too wide! I grimace simply from looking at it. That smile literally tears her cheek! I know that I am not the only one that thinks that the doll is creepy because I definitely hear gasps from other chairs. Still thinking this is some kind of Disneyland, people?

"Today, you chosen people will start a new adventure. What kind of adventure? You have to figure it out by yourself! But I can assure you, it'll be very, very fun." The doll flies as it cackles, her childish robotic voice reverberates around the room. 'Fun', it said. As if.

"There are one hundred floors in total to clear," the doll continues, "you guys will attempt to clear all those hundred floors in a party of four. Remember, if one person of the party clears the floor, that party is free to advance to the next level, but not the rest. Therefore, make sure you find reliable teammates unless you want to be trapped here forever!"

...One hundred fucking floors?

Shouts of protests and gasps of surprise quickly spread across the room. I am so tempted to follow, just purely out of my instinct to complain, but I take a deep breath before leaning back on the chair, regaining my composure. I shall not be provoked this easily.

This must be some kind of ridiculous joke that is meant to scare people here. But this is an amusement park, not a haunted house, right? Or haunted tower, whatever. Is this some kind of thriller themed amusement park?

Seems that those lots of people are as clueless as I am, since they protest heavily. The room is quickly filled by complaining chatters and incredulous shouts. Well, anyone will react like that if they are threatened to be trapped forever. Except anyone smart enough to see through that, of course.

The doll does not seem to heed the protests and continue with its explanation. Its smile remains completely unchanged, even when one of the participants take the threat too seriously that it spouts profanities. Without a care, it continues to explain. "If you come here with friends, you can add their name to your locator so you can locate them easily. If you want to form a party with them, just go to the party mode and bump your locator with theirs. Careful, though, this is irreversible, and you'll be stuck with them unless they can't continue playing!"

"Locator?" I look around and catch sight of something circling my wrist. This must be the locator that the doll speaks of. Of course, I enter the name 'Alisa McReyna', which is the name of my closest friend that drags me here with her just because she claims to want some quality time to spend with me.

Yeah, going to this creepy amusement park is definitely quality time.

After the name is inputted, a hologram map pops out and two dots appear there, one is labeled with 'Kaliska', my own name, and another is labeled 'Alisa McReyna. Fortunately, it isn't too far. Though, I can't do anything about it now, as my hands are still strapped to the armrest of the chair.

... Come to think of it, this chair looks so fancy. It looks like something you'd see on the futuristic movies. How do I escape this kind of stuff?
