The Legendary Sword, Excalibur.... more>>

The one who draws that sword will become the Master of the continent.

I became a villainess in a mythological novel.

Morgana Le Fay, the villainess who was executed by the Hero after stealing the Legendary Sword and delivering it to the final Dark Villain.

'I will refrain from evil deeds. I'm a good person!'

So, I tried to escape from the Dark Villain, enjoy a peaceful life, and be wise in this world.

However, as I was checking if the sword was properly inserted into the rock, I stopped pulling it out.

"Why is the Legendary Sword so easily pulled out?! What about the Oracle?"

Of course, I tried to pass the Excalibur to the main character and run away, but the atmosphere became strange.

"Where were you planning to go with the Sword?"

"Well, I don't know. Going out to the lake ahead...?"

"Yes, beyond that lake is the land of Britain."

"I have no intention of handing you over to Arthur."

"Hey, there seems to be some misunderstanding."

"I’ll bring the continent into your hands, so don’t leave and stay by my side. Morgana."
The new king of Avalon will open the door to war.

"My dear Morgana. Forgive me for daring to desire the King of Britain. I will risk my life and honor to put you in the place you deserve."
Then the main character should be the Master of the Sword.

"I don't care if the other person is a woman. The marriage is already prepared. Come on, let's go to Britain and push my father away!"
The heroine, who's declared in the Oracle to marry the male protagonist, the Hero of this world.

—Once you pick it up, I'll go with you until you die. All right, here comes the Master of the continent!

Even this damn Excalibur!!

Why is everyone crazy? Excuse me, I don't need that continent! <<less

"Let's get a divorce."

I thought it would end like this.

For him, this marriage was a duty and a responsibility. He said he could do without someone like me.

But the night I filed for divorce...

"You want a divorce when you feel like this?"

My husband snapped and changed completely.

His usual polite, considerate demeanor was nowhere to be seen.
And although I was afraid of the changes in his attitude, my body strangely responded.

With force, a thick hand slid inside my tensed thigh. <<less

This story is fiction. The characters, ideas, and events in the work are unrelated to reality.... more>>

Some games require agreeing to this statement in order to play.

Even if it's not necessary for the game, the game typically begins with a similar disclaimer guiding the player through the precautions.

Although the advantage of a game is the 'immersion' that no other medium can match, starting with such a statement disrupts the immersion from the beginning despite everyone knowing the work is fiction.

There is no mandatory need to include such a disclaimer, so why do it?

It is likely to emphasize a fact that everyone should always remember.

[The purpose of fiction is not to dictate beliefs existing in reality.]

This message is for the developer themselves.

[Nothing in fiction can replace reality.]

This message is for the players who will share the journey of the work's story.

The man with tattered clothes and an old sword said, "So, I *can* kill."

He did not have any particularly memorable appearance.

He was likely not a well-known person, at least, not to the mercenary he was killing.

The important fact was that the man who had been stabbed by the worn-out sword was now dying in front of him.

"Ugh..."

When the man pulled the sword out of the mercenary, the mercenary's legs gave way, and he fell to his knees. He no longer had the strength to resist.

He wanted to raise his arm to swing his sword, but he didn't have the strength to do so. He gritted his teeth and wanted to cast a spell, but he lacked the focus to do so.

"Why... you... how?"

Thus, the mercenary chose to give up on resisting and opened his mouth to speak.

Why had the man suddenly attacked him? He had only seen him collapse and moved him to a nearby cave.

What kind of person, what kind of thoughts had led him to do this as soon as he woke up?

The mercenary was so curious that he asked the question.

"How fascinating."

The man stroked his chin as he stared at the dying mercenary.

The sight of the man in his worn-out clothes pondering was somewhat terrifying.

Soon, as if he had reached a conclusion, the man broke his silence.

"I never knew I could attack an NPC. Is that how the game is made?"

"...What?"

The mercenary couldn't understand the man's words.

NPC, not knowing an attack would work, game. He couldn't make sense of any of the words the man said.

Having spent his whole life living as a mercenary according to his "setting," he could never understand what the man was saying.

'No, you must respond properly. Properly—'

But he couldn't continue his next words or even think about the meaning of his response, and the mercenary's consciousness began to fade.

A killing driven by nothing but curiosity, with no reason.

That was the first death experienced by NPC Aiden Oliver. <<less

Now, all that's left is our hundred-year journey together as he falls for my amazing guiding, right?

As it turns out, I made a mistake and guided the Esper who was none other than the world's most powerful villainous mastermind, the black-hearted master of this universe?

In a 19-gold-waste novel, I possessed the character of villainess.... more>>

Sophina, the bluebird and former wife of the white lion male lead, who was obsessed with him and was thrown away.

A character who was stoned to death because of angry public sentiment?

‘Let’s get a divorce after grazing enough!’

As a result of my efforts, I became friends with the male lead instead of obsessing with him.

In the meantime, I became close to my mother-in-law and other family members of the male lead, and I gained recognition from helping in managing the estate, and my business also became a big hit!

Everything was perfect.

It’s time for the male lead who went to war to bring the heroine, so all he has to do is divorce me now.

But the problem was…

“I don’t want to divorce.”

It was because he became so attached.

Maybe I have arrhythmia? My heart kept beating fast or it seems I’m a bit excited?

So I was thinking of seducing the male lead…

***

“While I was away from the mansion for a while, I guessed you were thinking of running away from me.”

Ricardo’s dangerous and low voice, unlike his beautiful childish voice from my memory, rang in my ears.

It seems that the male lead, who has grown up as a sexy adult, has a useless misunderstanding.

And…

“Don’t leave, and don’t pretend that you don’t know me if you happen to throw away your husband.”

“This brother-in-law would educate his ugly brother. Please just don’t leave.”

“Okay, well thought out. Just live with me!”

Even my in-laws misunderstood and kept clinging to me.

Why does everyone keep misunderstanding?

Excuse me. I wasn’t thinking of getting divorced? <<less

‘Navia Agnes,’ adopted to marry the Crown Prince on behalf of the Duke of Agnes’ ill daughter.... more>>

“I want to be a real family.”

Navia, who had been hung up on her family’s affection, does her best to become an empress while being abused, but the moment Vivian, the duke’s biological daughter, is cured, her family abandons her.

No, it would be fair to say that they abandoned her every time.

“How much longer do I have to try? To be your family.”

Navia took off her blood-soaked gloves.

Then on her right wrist, an invisible number that wasn’t visible to others was revealed.

1

Looking down at the numbers, she calmly confessed.

“Now, I’m going to stop playing with family games.”

At that moment, the number on the wrist changed.

0

Like that, a life that started again.

And then there was her husband, Izar.
Even after she had suffered a miscarriage, he remained cold.

"To be born to parents like us—happiness would forever elude that child."

Please, cry for me.
Shed even a single tear.
Dearly, I hope that your feelings might change.

But to Dahlia, who was tormented by her divine powers, the touch of Hissin's hand was an irresistible poison that could soothe the pain.

The game just simply said, ‘Laura Laurus took advantage of his weakness to demand Yve's love.’

Since it was described as such, when she read it, she vaguely thought that she was a villain who liked the male lead.

‘I’ve never heard of a relationship this deep!’

☄

The silver eyes that always sparkled so brightly seemed to have become dull and sunken today.

“Laura, where have you been?”

“I have some business to run for a moment.”

“You’ve been hanging out with my brother a lot lately.”

“Well, that’s...”

Since it was a story related to the original work, I couldn't tell Yve.

The more I couldn't answer easily, the more Yve's eyes became cloudy.

“Are you going to abandon me?”

“What?”

“I have dedicated my first time to you…”

For a moment, I tried to say that it was the same for me, but I regained my reason.

Laura didn't know why Yve was like this, but she seemed like she needed to calm down first.

“Yves, you seem to be mistaken…”

“Or maybe... are you already sick of me? I admit that I was clumsy because it was my first time.”

A red warning light flashed in her head. It must be a signal to run away quickly because something strange is going on.

But I couldn't move because of the strong arms that wrapped around my waist.

“Give me one more chance. I can do better next time.”

No, I don’t need it, I'm fine! <<less
