Floor Ten

Floor Ten

A Psychological Korean Horror Novel

When four university friends attempt a late-night ritual in an apartment elevator, they expect nothing more than an eerie thrill. But the Elevator Game—an urban legend said to transport players to another world—fails. Or so they think.

What follows is a slow, terrifying unraveling.

Jisoo begins seeing a woman in mirrors during the day. Haemin vanishes without a trace. Eunji discovers sealed ledgers and forgotten newspaper clippings about a girl named Seo-yeon—a resident who disappeared decades ago after reporting strange noises in the walls. And every hallway they walk down seems to change slightly… growing longer, darker, more suffocating.

Because something came back with them.
And it doesn't want to be forgotten.

Set inside a haunted apartment complex in Seoul, Floor Ten is a slow-burn descent into psychological horror—where mirrors are doors, memory is currency, and the building itself is hungry. Combining folklore, dread, and emotional trauma, this is not a ghost story. This is a story about what happens when you trade your name, your past, and your soul to save someone who's already gone.

Some doors are better left unopened. Unless you want to play the elevator game. And some floors were never meant to exist.
