“I can help you become anything you want. What is it that you desire the most?” he asked with a soft voice while sweeping the hair from her forehead.... more>>

“You really thought that I’d sincerely embrace someone as lowly as you?”

Embarrassed, she avoided his gaze and clenched her hands until they turned white.

“Even your thoughts are silly. You are well aware of my identity…”

“Yes, I know.”

“Then say it. Who am I?”

The hand that was playing with her hair traveled down past her chin and ended up around her throat. Testing the strength of his grip, he slowly started applying more pressure and forced her to look at him. Her breathing became painful as he lifted her up by the neck until her heels raised slightly from the floor.

“I also hold your sister’s fate in the palm of my hand.”

He could see it in her eyes, something inside her had broken.

Her eyes, which once resembled the starry night sky, no longer held any stars.

As he watched the light in her eyes fade away, he relaxed his hands.

She wouldn’t try to escape him anymore. He knew this instinctively.

This feeling, which was similar to being doused in warm water, is definitely what he’s been craving.

It wasn’t anything like lust.

Yes, it was definitely a craving.

After he acknowledged his feelings, he began to desire to possess her entire world.

“If I can’t have you, I’ll ruin you.” <<less

Dahlia Von Klose who possesses two powers at the same time and the Fifth Returner [5th time regressor] Jurgen Axel Edelred.... more>>

In order to survive one more day, the two desperately needed each other.

Kissing Dahlia’s white legs up to her knees, he felt a distinct satisfaction.

Even if it’s a new presence in her world, yes. There is nothing different from the others. With a remorseful expression she’ll push him away saying don’t do this. She’ll hide the joy of having a higher status person with a dignified, proud face kneel before her, promising that he will grant anything she wants.

Grasping her heel, he swept up her soft calf and grabbed the back of her knee. Then he looked up at her as she trembled like her frightened bird.

Ha!

However, the moment Dahlia’s eyes met his, a chilling sensation of pleasure ran through Jurgen’s back.

Covering her mouth, Dahlia was holding back a burst of laughter, like someone who had seen a gruesome comedy. With her sight full of the kneeling man at her feet, she showed an unhidden scorn.

Unconsciously his grip grew stronger on Dahlia’s leg. Then she flinched and bent forward towards Jurgen. She still hadn’t erased a feeling similar to contempt in her eyes.

“What are you up to? Sir Edeled.”

It was a voice sweet as poison.

Smiling, Jurgen let her legs go, then got up on his knees. Following the dark red eyes that became cold in an instant, Dahlia’s held his stare.

The mask of the noble Jurgen Axel Edelred had cracked. The man’s eyes looked down obliquely and then grew long in a smile as he swept back his flowing bangs.

“Ah… . Did I get caught?” <<less

As the night receded, the sky beyond the forest began to brighten.... more>>

Her time was fading, and his time was dawning.

Alicia W. Eimelheim, suffering from acquired achromatopsia.

Lehan Ab Estriesen, who began to color her world.

Knowing he used her, she willingly allowed herself to be used.

He didn’t hesitate, and she gave herself without hesitation either.

To him, she was a means,
To her, he was just a purpose.

Thus, she felt relieved, let her guard down, and fell in love, unaware that the beauty was suffocating her.

Upon realizing that he could no longer be her purpose,

Lehan plunged into the forest.

Into the forest of shattered glass, scattering like fragments. <<less
