"Sell yourself to me, Princess. I will buy you for a very high price."... more>>

Sell herself?

Adeline's lips quivered. She couldn’t overlook such insulting words.

"How impudent! Is buying and selling people a norm in this kingdom?"
"Pardon me for being impolite.. When the Duke of Rocher has already put the Princess up for sale, it sounds naive coming from you."

Adeline, a noble Princess descended from two royal bloodlines, and Alexio, a half noble Duke with a commoner mother —a match that seemed impossible.

The whole nation is excited about the marriage of the century that has shaken the kingdom. But little do they know.
That their marriage was riddled with secret deals and contracts.

"I'll give you plenty of time to think about it. It's only natural to go through various verification processes for such a significant transaction..."
"I'll do it."
"...Yes?"
"I agree. To this marriage."

Why did two people who seemed totally mismatched end up joining forces? The real reason behind their marriage, kept under wraps, remained a mystery to everyone. <<less

Abandoned by his parents as a child and raised in a gambling den, Gyeon Heeseong.... more>>

He does not hesitate to take on rough tasks for the sake of the older brother who accepted him into the group, but when he is turned into a puppy due to an injury from an attack, he is picked up by Yoon Chi-young.

“What’s with this scruffy puppy?”

‘Let go… you bastard!’

Suddenly, Gyeon Heeseong becomes Yoon Chi-young’s puppy, known as the man-eating wolf.

“The pheromones are almost undetectable. It’s just a puppy.”

‘Quack.’

However, even the doctor judges Heeseong as a mere puppy, so Heeseong decides to deceive Yoon Chi-young by pretending to be a puppy and then escape.

But Yoon Chi-young is a lunatic who never lets the puppy out of his arms.

“I even gave you a treat… Can’t you give me just one kiss?”

‘Sigh…’

Although Heeseong becomes the recipient of affection and care from Yoon Chi-young, whom he fears, their cohabitation is precarious.

“Puppy… I don’t think I’ll eat you.”

‘You, you’re insane.’

The story of the cohabitation of a puppy who just wants to escape from the man-eating wolf, and the man-eating wolf who has lost his heart to such a puppy.

▶A Quick Taste

“I’m sorry, okay? Please forgive me this once.”

“……”

“I’ll never leave your side again. I promise.”

‘Don’t try to act cute!’

If only he had left him alone, he would have cooled down on his own. But being coaxed with a handsome face, the puppy was utterly infuriated. Heeseong attacked Yoon Chi-young’s hand as soon as he saw it and barked fiercely.

Woof! Woof!

“What’s that? You like me so much? Want to go home quickly?”

Yoon Chi-young, petting the puppy, asked Ji Yeong-bae, a subordinate of the canine tribe. Despite continuously being bitten by the puppy, he always thought romantically. And Ji Yeong-bae always responded honestly.

“Yes, sir… He’s saying, ‘You bastard.’”

“So damn cute…. Okay, let’s go home and be alone together.” <<less

Roselyn Bluebell was once called the Blue Rose of the Empire, but became embroiled in various scandals due to the intrigues of her stepmother and ex-husband.... more>>

Exhausted from enduring the rapidly changing circumstances and countless misunderstandings, she was approached by Prince Aiden, who extended his hand to her. However, she did not know if he was her salvation or not.

“I need a scandal to turn down the marriage proposal. After I’ve achieved my goal, there will be sufficient compensation.”

“You’re trying to make me a target for your arrows.”

“To put it bluntly.”

And the Prince, as arrogant as he was noble, had no qualms about picking on Roselyn's wounds.

“You have to be smart, Roselyn, to get what you desire.”

For Roselyn, who was cornered, the temptation to restore everything she had lost was too sweet, so much so that she deliberately ignored the fact that she might regret it.

Willingly, Roselyn took the Prince’s hand and decided to plunge into the fall.

***

Aiden slowly took her outstretched hand and lowered his head. His lips, which rested on the back of her hand, felt hot as if they would burn her. He whispered, pulling Roselyn’s hand hard as she panicked and tried to withdraw it, “You will have to get used to skinship with me by this time.”

“Why, why…?”

“Because a lover in love should not be startled by holding hands.”

His eyes admonished her, as if asking if he had made a trivial statement. Roselyn exhaled deeply, as if she had made up her mind, and curled her fingers slowly. Aiden smiled brightly as he held her hand in his own large hand.

“Then, please take care of me, my love.” <<less

Beta test is over!... more>>

The official server play is the real world!

A lot of things are hidden under the veil of the empire-building game ‘Elix’.

In this game, where the player becomes the ‘king’ and builds the country with the gods, the player’s character race is determined based on the aptitude test that is conducted before playing. Once you enter the game with the character that has been decided, the player has a helper god called ‘Daegong’. That was the beginning of the empire-building game, ‘Elix’.

Elix was a game of extreme difficulty, where the player’s empire would collapse due to riots, coups, assassinations, etc. if they were tyrannical, lazy, or ruthless in building their empire. They also failed due to the invasion of other players. Nevertheless, many people were fascinated and intoxicated by Elix. After six months, the news of the official service of the game was announced to the world. Many people were excited and expected. But that was not something to be excited about, expected, or waited for.

Yeah.

That was not something to be excited about.

“I’ll give you ten days.”

The hand that choked his neck was suffocating. His toes barely touched the ground. The words he heard before folding. Sehyun still couldn’t forget the expression that was full of hatred.

The forgiveness he begged for many times and the conversation he asked for many times were all trampled in front of the words of hatred. That’s why he decided to fold, and that’s why he couldn’t go that day. Afraid to face that expression again. Afraid to hear the words that he hates again.

“It would be better for you to come on your own feet. Before I cut off your limbs and take you away.” <<less

The sole remaining member of the Bismar family that survived, the illegitimate child that was abused.

"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."

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!

“Let’s wash together, Master.”

「Quest! Choose the person you want to wash with.

“If you marry me, you can go anywhere. Whether you want to cross the seas or fly in the skies. Anywhere.”... more>>

“…”

“Because I am a man who can make it happen.”

The lowly Princess Catherine.

For her, who had lived confined in the castle for 25 years, it was such an enticing offer.

Her fiancé was Archduke Deimos Achilleion Pendragon, the Emperor’s older brother.

Following a languid whisper, something slipped through her finger. A diamond ring shone brightly on her left hand.

“Are you not going to kill me?”

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

Finally, the gaze of a predator that caught its prey. It was not a proposal.

This was not an offer.

It was a one-sided desire to make her his wife.

“I’ll make you more loved than any woman under the skies, Catherine Caliburn.”

The smile made Catherine realise.

That her plan to break off the engagement had completely gone awry.

“So never, ever think of running away from me.”

Because you must die by my hands. <<less

It was an unrequited love. ... more>>

One that could never be fulfilled and one that could never be wished for.

Licht McClellan, the Cardinal who had saved her, as he would save many others, was considered a candidate for the next pope because of his acts of salvation. But everything changed when he found her in the Count’s mansion, engulfed in flames and lying in a pool of blood.

[Louise.]

[My Louise]

Licht, a symbol of abstinence and moderation, lost his senses and rushed at her like a beast, and Louise did not refuse him.

"If you’re in pain, embrace me, Licht".

On the contrary, she took advantage of the opportunity to seduce him.

This was the price to pay for having sinned, an eternal separation. 

That was clearly how it should have been.

"I have lost count of how many times I have been ripped apart like an animal. So why did you abandon me? You will remain by my side, no matter what. If you want to go that far and sacrifice your body to save me… You should be prepared and take full responsibility, Louise."

The man who had once been admired by all and who had become the most noble pope in the realm,

“Louise, as of today, you belong to me. All that you’ll think about, look at, and even listen to will be me..”

With a face as beautiful and noble as an angel's, he whispered lovingly like the devil.

"That is the punishment and reward I am giving you." <<less

[Hello, Your Grace.

I was ecstatic when you proposed three years ago.

However, as time passed, I came to realize.

I am not suitable to be the Duchess, and I am truly sorry that I have not been of any help to you.

…]

Leaving the ducal estate with a letter and divorce papers,
Even though she thought the Duke wouldn't be bothered by her departure, he found her within just a few days.

"...Is this the only place you could run to from me?"

Faced with his unexpected actions, which had ignored her throughout their marriage, she could only be taken aback.

"Come back, Ellie."

"You are my wife."

Why do you look so hurt?
Tell me. You were the one who left me alone in our bedroom without even celebrating our wedding night, weren't you?

She really wanted to shout it out like this. <<less

The huge golden wings on his back still made him look like a messenger of the gods, but I had already realized that he was just a clever beast.

"Adele, sit down!"

The brilliant beast was too smart for his master. Adelaine ignored my command and approached.

"Uh-huh, wait!"

"What a foolish owner."

Again with wings covering the important parts!

"Stop feeding him..."

Instead of the fruit in my hand, he wraps his hand around mine.

"Pet me."

He snatches the fruit from my hand and rests his cheek against my empty palm.

"Fill my every thought with you."

Soft lips brushed against my palm. Adelaine rubbed his cheek, then glanced up at me.
It's like taming a pet, except I feel like prey instead of master. <<less

Sehwa turned his head away as if he didn’t want to deal with them. It was an obvious provocation, an everyday occurrence, but just because he was used to it didn’t mean he didn’t care how they treated him.

Kaiden looked down at Trinity trapped beneath his arms and gasped for breath.

Unlike the bold demeanor she had displayed in her counterattack, Trinity’s body was small and delicate enough to fit snugly in his embrace.

The moment he met her dark eyes, wide with surprise, Kaiden tightened his arms involuntarily.

Thick sinews bulged in his arms as he struggled to keep himself from collapsing onto her.

“I’d say it’s remarkable.”

His opposite hand, not touching the ground, cradled Trinity’s head. The palm held her soft hair, while the back of the hand was in contact with the harsh wintry chill of the ground.

Trinity shuddered as she squeezed his hand, the sensation unfamiliar but not unwelcome.

Kaiden’s hand trembled with hers.

“Perhaps, it might be both.”

Unfortunately, she’s an expert in nothing but bad endings. And to top it off, the setting is in the ancient Hittite kingdom.

Can Jia clear all the endings and complete the guidebook?

[Excerpt from the Main Story]

“Yes, this game has no happy endings.”

As if he could read Jia’s mind, Tae-eul quickly explained.

“If you’re lucky, you’ll get a Merry Bad Ending or just a Bad Ending.”

“Then what is the goal of the player…?”

“The Merry Bad Ending.”

The sound of a bell ringing echoed in the meeting room.

Merry Bad Ending? Isn’t it a miserable ending where only the game characters are happy while the player suffers mentally?

“Wait, what exactly is a Merry Bad Ending…?”

“It’s exactly what you’re thinking. It’s an ending where the game characters become obsessed with the player, imprison and monitor them, with no dreams, hopes, or future. So, it’s an unhappy ending for ordinary players. But of course, for the targeted players, it will be an extremely happy ending.”

Jia couldn’t say a word. It felt like someone had given her the game she had always dreamed of. <<less
