After 18 years of suffering, I saved another world and barely returned.
Now, I thought all that was left was to enjoy peace with my beloved family...... more>>

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

She gave her all to make her son, 3rd Prince Leon, emperor. On the day this dream was fulfilled, she went to the place where the emperor’s coffin rested, where she found her son dying from the poison he had drunk himself.... more>>

“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

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

Ailea Elgar Euliana, she met her death by the hands of the Crown Prince, her fiancé and the man she thought was her Prince Charming and true love’s kiss.... more>>

In her wedding dress, she closed her eyes and burned to death in the castle that set afire in blazing flames.

That was her end.

But, she returned to the past, realizing how foolish she was to cling onto the love she thought they had, and so she begins to live for herself and without regrets. On her journey of self discovery, she meets someone new… <<less

I was a promising surgical professor, but I found myself becoming the disciple of Dr. Liston, the master of amputation in 19th-century London.... more>>

Why am I crying...? <<less

I just wanted to be loved.... more>>

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

I ran away because I didn’t want to be witch-hunted. However, the place where I ended up was a lawless area infested with crime. I gambled with everything I had, but why did the damn dice roll out of the board! ... more>>

“As long as you have that mark, you can’t get away from me.”

To make matters worse, I was kidnapped by Huzga Dias, a mu*der maniac, so I decided to tame him in order to survive. But what’s this? Why does it feel like he’s been tamed even before training? <<less

Marianne, Lord of Este.
Following numerous trials, she was labelled a traitor. As a result, she seeks to change the future.... more>>

"I respectfully request that you marry me, the Marianne of Este. I also… I wish for you to give me a child."
"So you mean to use me as a pawn?"

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.

"Even if I were to meet a good man, I would never be content."
"What do you mean by this?"
"Our futures are intertwined." <<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.

━━━━━ ∙ʚ(✧)ɞ∙ ━━━━━

“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

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
