I want to resign.... more>>

Yeon-woo regretted it.

Unlike her, who could never be calm, Taehan seemed unaffected, and especially when she realized she was pregnant.

“Secretary Seo, you’ve grown a lot.”

“What you think doesn’t matter to me.”

“How can it not? You slept with me. Three times, no, four including this morning.”

“Mr. President!”

Yeon-woo’s face flushed with a loud outcry.

In contrast, Taehan became more dignified, tilting his chin up.

“Thinking of eating and running, how ambitious.”

His eyes seemed to burn with dark flames.

“It can’t be like that.” Taehan tapped his head with a finger.

“Think about it all night. Logically.” <<less

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.

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

So.

Do you agree?

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

“If there is anything you want, you can say anything. Whatever it is, it will be in your arms.”

The families who turned away from her have changed.

To get the attention of the cold youngest, they began to neglect working as a villain.

In the meantime, an unexpected twist came to her.

“Sophie.”

Long dark red hair fluttered in the air. It was like a sight of rose petals that were dyed at night. The pink eyes laughed purely like when she was a child.

Lun, who was alive and well, patted her cheeks.

His hand was as cold as ever.

“Because you like a good person, you gave up everything.”

He, who was a hidden villain, came out with his own veil. Even erased the word villain.

Is this an illusion? <<less

After the novel ended, I lived in the real world, but then I returned here once again.

And the problem is that I lost my memories of the past.

What was my name in my previous life? How did I live?

“It’s a pleasure to see you again, Del.”

Bright red eyes that glow coldly.

Iskan Anagroke, the slaughterer who rules over the land of the demons.

He even claims to have been my lover…

“You were my sister, friend, and lover.”

Liar.

You’ve been trying to kill me since the first moment you saw me.

A low whisper caressed the ears of frightened Delinda.

“You can disappear again. Because eventually, you’ll end up by my side. But the process of coming back to me won’t be pleasant.”

“…”

“Is that okay with you?”

As Clayton took off his coat, both Francis and Joshua began to take off what they were wearing too.

“Let’s wash together.”
Clayton held out a big hand, so she couldn’t run. Then he took his hand and spoke into her ear again.

“Let’s wash together.”
My heart was pounding as I saw the menacing and hard upper body reflected under the thin fabric.

“Your majesty?”
“Master?”
Damn it! After all, there are three guys who are dressed like that!

“Master, why are you laughing?”
“Uh? Huh? Did I, l-laugh?”
It was a big deal because the corners of her mouth didn’t go down even though she thought she shouldn’t laugh at Joshua’s smirk. She hurriedly covered her mouth and bowed her head.

Think of something negative! Something negative…. Clayton’s big chest…! Damn it, I can’t! Let’s think positively!!!

Pretty and beautiful roses, rose scent, blue roses, and pretty collarbones of Clayton!
Thick arms! Reliable back muscles! Nice chest! Well-maintained abs!
No!!! It’s hard to think!

Kang Sa-joon, we have a child.... more>>

Under an unspoken rule of never falling in love, my 13-year-long male friend, whom I never saw as a man, began to appear differently.

“If we are to date, it should be you. Whatever it is, I’d rather it be with you.”

Unaware of Tae-hee’s efforts to conceal her love, Sa-joon proposed a tempting ‘show-window’ relationship.

A desperate situation led to a hundred-day contract dating.

It was supposed to be just a contract, but my male friend’s cunning advances were extraordinary.

“I love you, Min Tae-hee,” he confessed out of the blue.

“May I kiss you?” he would ask, initiating kisses and touches frequently.

The strange changes between them, caused by Sa-joon’s constant boundary-crossing, were maddeningly intense and provocative.

Tae-hee resolved to leave him without regrets after burning these feelings away.

But contrary to her fierce resolve, the end of their relationship was marked by pregnancy. <<less

“Goodness, there’s a lady just like me.”

“So I’m thinking of proposing a contract marriage to that friend.”

The eyes beneath the bushy eyebrows gleamed sharply.

“Will you marry me, milady?”

… It seems to be me.

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

Since my fiancé ran away anyway, there wasn’t much choice; I entered the wedding hall with the male lead.

I agreed to the contract with the intention of running away if necessary.

“I’ll try to make you a precious person to everyone.”

His fingertips, which descended to my earlobe, lightly brushed my tiny earring.

Shivers ran down my spine.

“The earring suits you very well.”

The earring had a purple gem that matched his eye color.

Something seems wrong with this contract marriage after all. <<less

Kissing the other person's cheek, which was stained with tears and wounds, Ophelia thought.
Have you ever felt this sad and heartbroken?

“I love you. I should have told you sooner.”

To the man who threw the embers into the cold sea, she hoped these words were not too late. <<less
