Ding!

[Round 2 - Starting Hard Mode.
Time remaining until the first trial: 30 days]

Hey, you bunch of unethical guys.

I can't die like this.
Before the 'trials' hit, I cleaned up the family, built up my skills, and made thorough preparations.
But why is this mysterious figure showing so much interest in me halfway through?

"I have a question about the night we met in the cave."
"Haha, what are you talking about? We were meeting for the first time, right?"
"...Aren't you curious about who caused the accident that took your parents?"

What a brat, questioning our parents' accident?
Who does he think he is?

Looking around as he suggested, I realized there were more than a couple of suspicious points.
Unseen conspiracies and hidden motives surfaced, and just when we thought things couldn't get worse, the 'trials' began...

"Don't worry, Rosha, I'll handle it."
"Yeah, that bastard is the most suspicious one."
"Who's truly insane here? It's probably you."

Oh, don't fight!
At this rate, we'll all die! <<less

It’s been four years since the zombie outbreak.... more>>

The world has collapsed, but humanity has not yet been wiped out.

Min Ahyeon, a former national shooting team representative and a deserted soldier, is a famous mercenary among the survivors.

The sole reason she takes on dangerous mercenary jobs is to find her one and only brother who went missing during the zombie outbreak.

But the traces of her sibling are gradually fading away.

In front of the despairing Ahyeon, someone appears.

“Long time no see?”

Name: Shin Hae-jun.

Characteristic: A dog will execute any command from the military without hesitation. a.k.a. “Military Dog.”

“Shut it, don’t call me Lieutenant. I really can’t stand the sight of you.”

A bitter feud between Ahyeon and him.

Smiling warmly at Ahyeon’s refusal, Shin Hae-jun said.

“I wish we could work together on a job.”

“If we succeed, I’ll give you information about your missing brother. How about that?”

Ahyeon tried to reject his proposal, but she couldn’t ignore the information he was offering.

“But it’s strange.”

“The fact that you don’t get bitten by zombies.”

Having learned Ahyeon’s secret by accompanying her, Shin Hae-jun traps her as if he’s been waiting…

“Yo-you h**ny bastard…”

“The term ‘military dog’ means it f*cks as well as it fights. Didn’t you know?”

Shin Hae-jun licks the tears at the corner of Ahyeon’s eyes and bites her nape.

“Ahyeon-ah.”

“I’ve wanted to be inside you for a long time.” <<less

Lord, please allow me to sabotage his business again today.... more>>

That’s how my dad will not die.

***

A weaponsmith who lost his life while crafting weapons for the warrior’s party.

That foolish man was my father.

Upon realizing the future, I took drastic measures in order to save my dad’s life.

That was through sabotaging his business!

“Darn it, why is such a cool sword can’t even cut this tiny potato-!”

“It can’t even slice the ham this time!”

“There’s no way that the sword made by ‘Sir Royce’ would be this useless-!”

My trick to sabotage his business was successful.

But I didn’t stop here.

I spoke courteously to the warriors who came for my father.

“Nial Royce? I don’t know that person. I only live with my mom.”

Sorry, father.

***

My plan was a huge success.

Only flies flew to my father’s weapon store, and the warriors didn’t come to ask for a sword from my father.

I thought I could live happily with my father now…

“You….How old are you this year, child?”

The most powerful duke of the empire suddenly claimed that I was his granddaughter.

What the hell is going on here?

What is happening with me? <<less

“I… have never been happy in my life.”

Only despair was left for Elisha, who was holding onto her son’s cold corpse. “Leon…”

However, after losing consciousness, she woke up to find that her young son was looking at her with his lovely face!

“If this isn’t a dream, if it’s a new opportunity… I stole a lot of things in the name of doing it for you, so if you ask me, I will do whatever you want.”

Elisha, who vowed to become a good mother in this life, instead of piling up dead bodies and squeezing blood in a war to claim the emperor's throne, makes a different choice from the past by weaving ties with her stepson, the crown prince. <<less

[If you enter the deep forest, you will be eaten by the shadows.... more>>

The shadows of the forest move when a person is not looking.

There is a shadow that mimics people in the deep forest.

The shadow of the forest speaks.]

Rosaline, of the Knights of the White Night, had gone missing after being attacked by enemy forces during a hunting contest.

However, she was found unconscious, badly injured, and lying beneath the cliff.

Rosaline, who woke up a few days later, seemed to have severe memory loss. It was difficult for her to speak even simple words.

She was found walking barefoot, in her pajamas, talking informally here and there. She would even pick up food off the floor!

She’s a strange girl no matter how you look at her. Is that really Rosaline? <<less

“Reveal your true identity, but not until your last breath is taken.”... more>>

Mel Slopey is an orphan from a commoner background whose hair turned white due to a childhood illness.

The mentally unstable Duke Heaven mistakes her for his daughter Bleria due to their similar hair color.

To prevent rumors of his father’s insanity, the young lord orders Mel to pretend to be Bleria.

So Mel lives as Bleria and prepares for an engagement with Gopher, the heir of the Duke of Allnight.

“Blairia.”

“Yes…”

“You shouldn’t answer. You’re not Bleria Heaven.”

When Gopher confronts her about the truth, Mel thinks she’ll die for being found out.

“Marry me, Bleria. I will truly make the real thing.”

Instead, he vows to keep her secret.

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

At the ball before her wedding to Gopher, Mel is surprised to see “Eos Liche,” who looks just like her.

In addition, she even had the necklace she saw in a portrait of young Bleria.

‘It’s the same. Could the real one be alive? Then what does that make me?’

To make matters worse for Mel, the only person she trusted had grown increasingly cold to her since Eos’ appearance.

Mel thought that marrying Gopher would allow her to become the ‘real’ Bleria.

To survive the impending disaster, Mel must now make a choice.

Die as Bleria Heaven or escape to Mel Slopey. <<less

“Did you come to save me?”... more>>

Even though it was a question so innocent to the point of being revolting, it contained the last glimmer of hope in it. Nevertheless, the man spoke with disdain.

“No way.”

“….”

“I’m here to send you to hell.”

In her first life, Guiscard Lodbrook plunged Diana Brien right into hell.

“You must bear with me.”

“Three years. Only three years…”

“….”

“I won’t hold back for three years. You have to take all of me.”

‘I know. That’s why I’m doing this.’ Diana nodded flatly. The man lowered his head, muttering softly into her embrace as if on the verge of tears.

“D*mn it. So, why did you abandon me?”

In her second life, Guiscard Lodbrook fell into the pits of hell because of Diana Brien. <<less

Among them, , which I played, was a game that mixed romance simulation, horror action, and upbringing genres. ... more>>

“Oh. Don't worry, baby. I'll definitely save you next time."
'really? Then I'll leave it to you.'

However, on the 43rd day of the death of the master who had been nurtured and nurtured, a strange voice was heard and the strange 44th episode began.

“Master Diane, a new caregiver has arrived.”

The job of a nurturer, which was not originally in the game, was automatically selected, and then the unpredictable things continued to happen in the Redford Mansion, the setting of the game.

I possessed someone else’s body.... more>>

One day I woke and realized that I’ve become the maid of a future tyrant in the romance fantasy novel I have been reading about!

Still, the male lead seems to be quite satisfied with the fact that I provided him with five star hotel level services to the best of my ability so that I could survive.

“I love how everything is done. Except for that ridiculous tone of yours.”

“If there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, I’ll correct it, Your Highness”

If I don’t want to die, I have to work hard until the female lead comes.

But why does it seem like the more I work, the more twisted it gets?

“The lady left the mansion just a while ago.”

“…"

"What?”

The lady of the house is gone now.

“Where are you going? Didn’t you say your life belonged to me from the moment you decided to obey me?”

The male lead is going crazy. What is wrong with you? Why didn’t you catch the runaway female lead and instead caught me? <<less

“…….”

“I’m the only one for you.”

“…….”

“Only me.”

What an abominable delusion.

* * *

For more than 10 years, my body was possessed by someone else. It would have been nice of ‘that person’ if she used my body and returned it in a good condition, but not only did she get married with my own body, she’s also clinging to her husband like a stalker..?!

“First, let’s get divorced.”

I tried to start a new life by dumping my husband, who has been treating me like tr*sh, and my family who treated me like dirt.

But.

“Leaving? You will leave me?”

My husband who doesn’t believe me.

“Why are you taking his side, sister?”

A younger brother who’s suddenly jealous.

“Stay in this house. You can’t go anywhere.”

Even my father who hated me all along is suddenly obsessed? What’s wrong with them all of a sudden? <<less

“I’ve never seen a woman with hair as red as blood as lady.”... more>>

Blood dripped down as if waiting and soaked the floor. Belial held out the blood-stained sword. But Rose couldn’t care less about it because,

“What do you think? Isn’t it as beautiful as lady’s hair?”

Belial Le Serenity.

Because the man that I’ve been looking for such a long time, immediately took an interest in me as soon as he saw me.

I possesed a supporting role in a romance novel. In addition, I would be killed by a villain sub-male before the female lead appears.

By the way,

The very Belial who did not let go of the heroine until the moment of his death,

“You are as quiet as a flower in the field, as dazzling as the sun in the sky, as graceful as a deer playing in the mountains.”

I’m talking about this.

I thought I’d live a rough life and get killed. But it seems that this villain has no intention of killing me. <<less

After awakening the power of an alchemist, I constantly made money for my family on the verge of bankruptcy.

Even though I knew it was an act that consumed my life.

But when I died for an attempted mu*der charge, no one was by my side.

Wearing the dress made with my life, my younger sister shed fake tears in the crown prince’s arms.

The third awakening was achieved by being pecked by a bird’s beak.

Milvia touched time.

Her remaining life span, as she returned to the past, is only one year.

Within that time, she will seek revenge.

So she spent a night with the man known as the Mad Knight. A man who had just obtained the rank of a baron.

The unimaginable reward she offers is only to protect her side and pretend to love her.

I will give you everything that my family once had.

Just make sure it doesn’t crumble while I seek revenge.

…But why did the proposal letter come from the duchy, who’s known to control the underworld?

***

“You are a person worthy of praise, so don’t be disheartened.”

He gently wiped her cheek with the back of his hand. His hand, holding the sword, was firm and powerful.

Suddenly, she felt his masculinity.

Milvia’s face flushed with overwhelming anger.

“I despise hypocrisy.”

Deus pushed down her lower lip with his thumb and teasingly caressed it.

Milvia was frozen, unable to even breathe, caught in his gaze.

“Don’t play nice, don’t pretend you’ve given up. When the truth is, you want to live, even if it means killing someone else.”

His words were like a dagger that pierced her heart.

Even though he knew she was trembling, Deus did not stop talking.

“Tell me you’d rather kill than die, Milvia.”

“……”

“Say those words, and I will kill the saintess if I have to, just to save you.”

His whispering smirk was outrageously tempting.

…To the point where she truly desired to live. <<less

Her plan was simple. Make an agreement with Basharian, the ducal heir, who has lost his memory. In exchange for a contractual marriage and the promise of a child.

"But what about yesterday? Is it true that he does not remember her lordship?”
When she saw Basharian, her first love, he seemed to have forgotten her.
The wounds from more than a decade ago had reopened.

"Our futures are intertwined." <<less

My heart, my lover.... more>>

Do not pretend to be unaware of our darkness, deceived by omnipotence.

We are children of chaos, born from the pool of blood and moans.

Cruelty and indifference are inherent traits that cannot be erased, and at times, we exhibit intense obsession.

Chaos has bestowed upon us so much skill and talent, even though we are beings with no desire to contribute to anything real.

Instead, we exist as beings that embrace destruction to overcome decadence.

The order, conscience, and ethics that humans desperately want to protect…

To them, such concepts hold no value or meaning. They do not even understand what it means to be cruel.

“You know, don’t you?”

If you are only pretending to know… Would you also scornfully push me away? <<less

What should I do at this moment?

Get close to the heroine? No.

Get close to the male lead? No, not that either.

Survive to have long and fine life? Damn right, I will!

Three years have passed since she lived peacefully as an outsider of the Imperial City. As long as the novel ends with a happy ending, she thought she could be free.

“Who are you…”

“Servant.”

…What?

“I’ll listen to you.”

“Huh?”

“I’ll listen to whatever you say. Can we live together then?”

The servant who came into my easy life.

I live a happy life with him. Sometimes he’s a kind servant, and other times, a dear friend…The problem is, I can’t seem to take my eyes off him when he smiles saucily and flirtatiously with those red eyes.

Bianca de Blanchefort. ... more>>

The wife of Zachary de Arno, thrown out of Arno family after his death due to her self-indulgent, frivolous, and immoral behavior. She had nowhere to go, the Blanchefort family having already fallen to ruin, and was more or less kicked to a convent out in the border. A woman who ultimately met her end on a cold stone floor.

A villainess with no honor.

That was Bianca’s life before she went back in time.

“Is this truly reality? Did I really travel back to the past?”

This was neither a dream nor a hallucination. This feeling of hunger, fatigue, the vivid sense of everything around her…

This was all real.

If this was indeed reality… If God truly gave her one more precious chance…!

‘I’m going to carry out a business. A marriage is a business in the end. Zachary’s child will be the perfect source of financial support. I’m sure my dowry will remain safe too. I won’t have to lose the Blanchefort or Arno territories to that damned viscount either.’

Then whether it be through seduction or persuasion, she needed to give birth to her husband, Zachary’s child.

“How much was my dowry exactly?”

“400 calves, 900 pigs, 100 units of silverware, 300 rolls of silk, 2 crates of jewels, and a portion of a territory… Equivalent to a two-year budget for the Arno county.”

“Don’t you think you should compensate for that?” <<less

No matter how hard she tries, her brother, Rion, continues to attract toxic men and almost always perishes by the age of 20, whether by mu*der or by taking his own life, fating Rosalite to return to her 16-year-old body.

After nearly two dozen attempts to get the timeline right, Rosalite has run out of patience for all these sleazy men: Touch My Brother and You Die! <<less

I helped the warriors who couldn’t reach the dragon, and we became true companions beyond life and death.... more>>

So I believed.

But it was my own delusion.

It was impossible for me to join in that place of honor where everyone cheered. As a commoner, I couldn’t stand among the group of warriors composed only of those of noble origins.

As such, I left the capital city by myself, and the dragon I thought was asleep, awakened once more.

“Cornelia.”

A man’s shining, cream-colored eyes looked at me pathetically.

“Please come back, we’re comrades.”

Behind him, the group nodded at his words. Everyone clung to and depended on me.

Those who had climbed to the highest position were on their knees in front of me, the one in the lowest position.

My gaze reached the man at the back who was gnawing his lips. The man said nothing. He was just staring at me with a pathetic expression on his face.

Looking at them, I smiled brightly.

Except for one person, their faces brightened in an instant.

“Mmh, I’m not going back.”

I shut the door roughly on the Empire’s heroes. <<less

At the age of seventeen, I was so young and immature that I couldn’t hide my growing heart.

“I’ve been in love with you for a long time.”

My body shrunk at the sight of him slowly holding my chin and looking through my body, but I took courage and took a step closer to him.

“Love. So you have already reached that age.”

His fingertips swept down my face. Despite the unexpected confession, he was overly relaxed and skillful.

“I like you too, Chloe. I love you. How can I not be happy with you, who will bring me my brother’s neck in the future?”

The man whom I loved, was so sweet that he was even more cruel.

“Have the emperor’s child.”

In front of Se-yeong was Baek Je-ha, who was full of life and just turned twenty years old. Nevertheless, nothing had changed from when she first met him, a 17-year-old boy who was full of youth, in front of the music room.... more>>

Blatant interest, favoring, affection. None of it had changed. No, it could be said it deepened during the time she did not see him.

“I want to hold hands, go on a date, and kiss Senior. I saved all my firsts to do with Han Se-yeong.”

“Then… do it. With me.”

Se-yeong pressed her lips as if she were stamping them. Even though she was pressing on his lips, Je-ha was so madly happy that his breath became rough.

Je-ha instinctively pushed his tongue inside. As if very delicious honey was hidden inside it.

Losing his mind, he took control of Se-yeong’s mouth, but he felt her hand hitting his back, so he stepped back.

“Haa! Ha… Ah…!”

Se-yeong, who thought she was about to be suffocated to death, breathed shallowly.

“I’m going crazy. How can others casually do this as if it is nothing?”

Je-ha smiled bitterly as he wiped his sore lips with the back of his hand. Even though the night air was chilly, she was sweating because of how much her temperature went up by a kiss.

She also wondered if what she did was a real kiss. If kissing meant being voraciously greedy for each other’s saliva.

“Let’s do it again. I’ll do better this time.” <<less

“…”
“Lend me your strength.”

There is no plan that can reverse the already declining power and save the fallen empire. However, there is a method. To turn back time before everything went wrong.

With tears of blood she sacrificed her body to an ancient magic. This time, she will not fall.

Artezia, who returned to the age of 18 before death, resolved to become a villainess for the Grand Duke Cedric.
