Chapter 5 Like Misaligned Gears I tried to view the current situation as rationally as possible. At first, I thought in a one-dimensional way: Askan would eventually kill me, so maybe I could avoid that ending by keeping him pleased. But I had already done far too many unforgivable things to him, and trusting someone’s feelings in such a volatile situation seemed foolish. My life was mine to protect—I couldn’t hand the hilt of the knife to anyone else. After staying up several nights, thinking it…-

Chapter 14Even before the Fleur Citizen's Revolution, the House of Chester's finances had been in poor condition. The national debt continued to grow due to the royal family's extravagance, and the treasury was emptied as if it had a hole in it. The nobles, too, squeezed taxes out of the commoners and indulged in their own luxury and dissipation. It was only natural that a revolution would occur. After the revolution, which had been stained with the blood of many, succeeded and the cabinet was established,…-

Chapter 4 The gatekeeper furrowed his brow sharply. You’ve come to collect a debt from the Marquis? The woman before him didn’t seem wealthier than Marquis Schneider. To lend money to him, one would need to be at least of royal blood. Hesitating with a troubled expression, he finally said, “I’ll go ask. Please wait here a moment.” For some reason, he couldn’t simply dismiss her words. Marien slowly nodded. Creak. The side door closed in front of her. As Marien listened to the…-

Chapter 6 In the comic, Havi had just awakened her power, just like me. Beside her floated a mummy-like fairy that looked as if it had been thoroughly dried in the fires of hell. Snap! I immediately closed the book. The Bleached Demon looked at me with a proud smile. “Well?” “Isn't it amazing?” “......” A Demon was still a Demon. The next morning... “Wake up! Get up!” The Bleached Demon woke everyone by banging a soup ladle…-

Chapter 23 Fake Pocket Dimension The "Fake Pocket Dimension." It was a technique inspired by Verity's pocket dimension. I connected the inside of my pocket to an empty room in our house so I could store all kinds of things. "If opening and closing means connecting spaces... then it should work." But I had taken it one step further. "The truly important application is this." There was a small door built into one corner of my office. Behind it was a staircase leading underground. The…

Chapter 5 “When I enrolled in law school, the sanctuary had already begun to crumble. Your Grace surely knows that women are now attempting to enter professions once considered exclusively male.” “But the reality isn’t so simple, Marien. The police department is more hostile to women than any other field. Across the entire kingdom, there aren’t even twenty female officers. And I’d wager there isn’t a single woman in the Blauburg Police Department.” “That’s precisely why I need Your…

Chapter 12 Bees and Farming (3) After Mr. Miller and the farm owner, Mr. Jeffrey Holland, hurriedly left to investigate while carrying the bodies of the bees, the remaining kids sat blankly in front of the beehives for a while and then trudged over to where the bus was. I had been secretly gleeful inside ever since Uncle Jeffrey said the words Silver Oak Farm, but I was too busy keeping my expression in check to let it show, so I did not get a chance to open my mouth. The other kids, however, were not…-

Chapter 1 People say that when you die and transmigrate into another world, your status rises. "Stop wasting time and move!" "If you don't finish today's quota, nobody eats!"

Under the prison guards' harsh shouts and the occasional crack of their whips, the other prisoners and I worked hard, drenched in sweat.

Chapter 37 "S-Sunbae..." —It's getting late. Go to sleep. And tell Su-bin good night for me, too. "Sunbae!" —Sleep well. It's a shame. If I were right beside you, I could at least give you a hug. "I don't need one." Taehyuk let out a soft chuckle at her dry response. That faint laugh pricked at Seo-ah's heart like a sharp shard of glass. —Tell me what you want. Just like seven years ago. I'll give you everything. "I already told you. What I want is..." —Even if I wanted to grant that…-
