The Phoenix proved the absolute worst match for his constitution. Ever since the entity settled within his body, Viktor suffered from agonizing pain, as if his entire form were engulfed in flames. Using his ability even slightly triggered excruciating agony, mimicking the sensation of a hunting rifle piercing his flesh. The pain intensified and grew fiercer with each passing day. It reached a point where even Viktor, a man possessing a fierce will to live, begged for death da

[Odette] "Karin, you'll get hurt. Come slowly." Odette tried to dissuade her, but slowing down was impossible. Karin's legs, trembling with a mix of euphoric relief and profound anxiety, sprinted of their own accord. However, the joy illuminating Karin's face warped into horror as she drew closer to Odette. [Karin] "H-How can you be standing out here in this freezing cold without an umbrella? You'll catch your death!" Odette stood there, enduring the torrential downpour with

Wasn't this the basic rule of nobility? A master must govern subordinates with proper rewards for good deeds and proper punishments for wrongdoings. Karl tapped the bent railing he still gripped. Tap, tap. When a slave errs, the master dispenses punishment. What follows when the master commits the wrong? Footsteps ascended the stairs outside the room. Following his awakening, Karl possessed heightened hearing. A voice accompanied the footsteps. Count Albrecht had arrived at t

The moment he stepped onto the ground, the surroundings instantly transformed into a desert landscape. Into the endlessly vast and utterly barren Erwin Desert. [Zion] "Odette!" He sprinted across the desert, chasing her. The sun blazed against his back. Sandstorms invaded his lungs with every breath. The arid air scratched his throat. The sickening stench and the endlessly captivating scent of peach blossoms had vanished from her. He barely caught up and snatched her arm. [Zi

I don't know why I dream of chasing her down to kill her...... Swaaa. The crashing waves of the night sea broke against his waist, churning into white foam. He spoke, projecting absolute indifference. [Zion] "You should stay out of the ocean at your age, Alfredo. Are your bones not aching from the cold?" His performance proved entirely futile. The elderly Alfredo's eyes reddened with tears. [Alfredo] "Your Excellency. Please......" Choked with emotion, the butler failed to fi

In this life, Johan, possessing both eyes, defies my taste, rendering him unappealing. To think, even his very personality shifted. (T/N: In the original game's story line, Johan suffered a violent rampage. Because Odette refused to purify him, he had to forcefully suppress his own power, resulting in him permanently losing one of his eyes.) [Charlotte] "Not a single event progresses correctly." The debutante ball, the tea party, the opera house event...... Not a single incid

The First Edict: Imprison anyone who tarnishes Lady Odette's honor through word or action. This command possessed absolute logic. After all, Odette suffered immensely from vicious rumors. Granting her peace in death constituted a ruler's natural duty. For the typically orthodox Johan, this mandate represented an uncharacteristically personal directive, yet he reigned as a Transcendent. Losing his Purifier naturally evoked profound grief. Furthermore, rumors of him weeping inc

By nature, Johan lacked greed. His untouchable position as Crown Prince eliminated the need for desire. The rarest, most noble treasures rested in his grasp before he could form a single wish. Everything a human could covet lay at his feet from the exact moment of his birth. Furthermore, he possessed flawless beauty and awakened as a Transcendent at merely two years old. The rules and order of the world yielded to him. They existed solely for his benefit. He followed goodness

Zion beside him was also not the flawless figure he had always shown. [Zion] "Find a way. Pope." His overbearing voice remained the same, but his appearance... looked precarious, as if he might collapse at any moment. Of course, even describing him as precarious was only possible thanks to his handsome face. Had it not been for that face, he would have merely looked like a beggar. Moreover, there was Viktor howling like a beast in front of the coffin. The Pope felt dizzy. Jus

By the time the sea level reached her waist, the dolphin let her off its back. [Odette] "Thank you for bringing me." The dolphin, which had circled around her a few times acting affectionately, soon cut through the water's surface and left the beach. After bidding farewell to the retreating back of the dolphin, she turned toward the sandy beach and couldn't help but be surprised. Because what she saw in her vision was a lighthouse. I thought the whale was swimming for a long

Johan wanted to beat Zion to a pulp, but nevertheless, he temporarily lent his ability so Zion could move above the sea. Because finding Odette was far more important and urgent. [Zion] "Please, Albrecht. I was wrong." Where did things go wrong? He continuously looked back on past events. Is it because I pretended not to know even though I guessed her abuse? Because I spoke carelessly? But the more he traced back, the less he could grasp what the problem was. Not because ther

As expected, I can breathe underwater. She realized it the moment she awakened. The fact that she could now naturally breathe even in the actual sea. It wasn't because the actual sea was clean like the sea in her Inner World. Nor was it because she could purify a large amount of water like at the time of her awakening. It was because only the water that entered her body changed to become as clean as the sea in her Inner World, making it comfortable to breathe. Although only a

Even though the silver bullet pierced her head, she felt no pain at all. Nevertheless, she felt her body turn corpse-like. Her eyes wouldn't blink, and her heart stopped beating. However, her senses and consciousness still remained. They said it was a silver bullet that doesn't kill even when hit, so this was what it meant. Therefore, she could capture it in her eyes. Their horrified expressions. Zion shedding tears blankly, Viktor falling into despair with a pale face, Johan

Above all, because Charlotte will appear here in just a few minutes. Although Charlotte relationship with Odette was the worst, Han Songyi was a girl loved by everyone. A girl who was the protagonist whenever and wherever, just like Charlotte in the game. Since such Han Songyi was even the official protagonist of this world, everyone would forget Odette quickly. Just as they did in her past life, and just as they did in the game. Therefore, the only time she could hurt these

Haha... She laughed hollowly and looked up at the ceiling. Really, every single thing was tiresome. Giving only 10 minutes for the quest time, yet the Loathing penalty was a whopping 40. Considering Charlotte would arrive as soon as she failed, multiplied by 61 times. Wasn't this just pushing her to die by Karl's hand? And it has to be Karl's penalty of all things. If it were the Loathing of other Transcendent bastards, they wouldn't harm me even if just for purification. On
