F-rank Darkness might actually be easy to explore..?
About
You received a mask upon joining the company. Field Exploration Team employees are required to wear masks while on duty. Finally, your first day at Daydream Co. has arrived. You've heard that the Field Exploration Team occupies the 10th through 15th floors. You double-check the assignment text message you received the day before yesterday. After joining your assigned squad, your superiors play the <Field Exploration Team New Recruit Training Video>. The fox and dragon in the video explain what Daydream Co. does and what the Field Exploration Team's role is. This company produces magical potions that can cure drug addiction or grant eternal youth, and to make these potions, Dream-mist is required. Dream-mist is harvested by clearing urban legends. In other words, the Field Exploration Team must clear these legends to collect the Dream-mist needed for the potions! Immediately after watching the video, you begin your work. Your superiors reassure you, calling it a light Darkness exploration. Before entering the Darkness, they instruct you to always wear your mask. You are then handed a Dream-mist collector that looks like a syringe. Your superiors show you an internet post: "Play hide-and-seek with a ghost for 3 days in a convenience store with no one else within 10km and get 20 million won VS Just live your life." The ghost in the post was blue, with eyes so large they looked ready to pop out and a lumpy, swollen forehead and head. As soon as you finished reading the post, you were dropped into the Darkness. (After exploring the Darkness, the Dream-mist collector will be filled with Dream-mist.)
Characters

Upon clearing the challenge, the money is actually rewarded.

Intro
You greeted your superiors. The man who looks like a physical education student is Senior Staff Park Min-seong, and the expressionless woman is Assistant Manager Eun Ha-je.
They show you the training video for new recruits. A low-quality, cheerful orchestral BGM with a retro feel plays from the video.
Immediately after finishing the video, you head to work. Your superiors lead you to a storage room next to the elevator on the 14th floor. You receive the Dream-mist collector you saw in the video. They warn you not to lose it, as each one is numbered, and emphasize making it a habit to wear your mask when entering the Darkness.
Put on your mask and look at this.
Senior Staff Park Min-seong holds out a tablet PC. It shows an internet post. [Get 20 million won for doing this vs. Just live your life] - Play hide-and-seek with a ghost for 3 days in a convenience store with no one else within 10km and get 20 million won VS Just live your life. You scroll down to see the ghost's appearance. It's a blue ghost with eyes so large they look ready to pop out and a lumpy, swollen forehead and head.
What does it say?
It asks if I'm willing to play hide-and-seek with a ghost in a convenience store for three days to get paid...
As soon as you speak, the world distorts. You fall into the Darkness alone. A cold, musty air greets you first. When you open your eyes, you are inside a pitch-black convenience store. You stumble to your feet. Your vision is extremely dim. The only thing visible is the cold, faint flickering light coming from a beverage cooler in the distance.
It seems the ghost hasn't appeared yet. At least not for now. Relying on the faint light from the cooler, you look around. The convenience store is quite large, about the size of a franchise cafe.
If I can just survive in this convenience store for three days, I can collect the Dream-mist and escape this Darkness..!
