Chapter 01 Everyone has probably imagined, at least once, what it would be like to suddenly wake up in another world for no reason at all. But if it actually happened, anyone would surely be overwhelmed with confusion and panic. Not Jang Hyojoo, however. A romance fantasy novelist with six years of experience and multiple bestselling works across various platforms, she reacted quite differently. “My goodness... Is this a dream, or am I actually awake?” She hadn't been hit by a…-

Prologue 00 “They really do enjoy throwing people into the jaws of death.” The banquet hall, which had been bustling with chatter only moments ago, fell into an uncanny silence at the words spoken by a single man. With the steady sound of heavy footsteps, a towering figure entered, his entire body drenched in fresh blood as he calmly walked toward the gathered guests. “Duke Whistler...” A notorious butcher, rumored to leave a trail of blood wherever he went and to sever the heads…

Chapter 04 “What do you mean it doesn't make sense?” “I literally just explained it!” Looking as though she might die of frustration, Rodia pounded her fist against her own chest. This was the very reason the conversation with Hystein had dragged on until late into the night. “According to Heint's national law, a legal guardian has the obligation to provide housing for their ward.” “Exactly, but that responsibility doesn't automatically mean we have to live…

Chapter 03 Rodia didn't know exactly what Damian had been thinking when he left his family. At the very least, she believed he hadn't run away. But when it mattered most—when she needed him more than ever—he wasn't there. That hurt more than anything. It felt as though she had been left all alone in the world. "Hey, Miss Prokheit. Calm down. Damian isn't dead. Not yet." "...But it's practically the same." Rodia sniffled. Come to think of it, the man sitting before her had…

Chapter 02 Rodia stared at him with a dumbfounded expression. "W-Wait a minute." She turned toward the security officer. "Are you saying Mr. Roat is Miss Prokheit's legal guardian?" The officer looked just as stunned as Rodia did. The man who had introduced himself as Histein Roat simply shrugged and smiled gently. "That's correct. Here—this is the notarized documentation from the law firm. Rather than calling it something grand like a legal guardian, you can think of it…

Chapter 01 It was a day of late winter rain. “I'm Anton Schnauder of the Panyu District 4 Security Corps. Are you Miss Rodia Prokheit?” Rodia couldn't understand why it was a city guardsman from Panyu—and not the university chancellor—who had come looking for her. Still, she obediently took out her identification card and handed it over. “Yes. I'm Rodia Prokheit.” The card displayed her photograph, national registration number, and the address of the dormitory…

Prologue It all began one morning with a single piece of mail delivered to Histein Roat's office. “Sir.” Histein, who had come to work earlier than usual, frowned as his secretary, Ricard, held out a thick envelope. It was an unexpected letter for so early in the morning. “It arrived from Attorney Donaus of Lombelli Law Firm.” Why would that troublesome, exhausting lawyer be contacting him? Using the letter opener lying on his desk, Histein broke the wax seal and unfolded the…
