      by Ruby Chapter 3 Quitting Everything to Sell Cola (3) Penelope’s full name is Penelope Rosemore. She is indeed the third daughter of the Rosemore Count family, a wealthy prestigious family that had commanded Nortaris from long ago. For a noble young lady of high birth to frequent the shabby Brellum Shopping Street was behavior that went against propriety, and Penelope herself was aware of this. Nevertheless, she continued to visit Jurgen’s General Store at the same time every morning. It had already…

The Spirit Demon Realm of western Westforest. The Jungle Demon Realm of southern Carcagne. And finally, the Labyrinth Demon Realm of northern Nortaris.

      by Ruby Chapter 1 Quitting Everything to Sell Cola (1) Who is a Hero? It is one who achieves feats that even a lowly person could not accomplish in a lifetime of dedication. It refers to one who casually accomplishes what others cannot, thereby changing the ‘world’. In that sense, the man whose story is about to be told was an existence worthy of being called a ‘Hero’. He subjugated the monsters that had been tormenting the Britannia Kingdom from the frontlines of the Demon Realm. Even the…

      TO 12 Cover
      by Ruby Chapter 12 As if refusing to allow even the slightest warmth, Taehyuk spoke coldly. Before long, unbuttoning his shirt, Taehyuk turned toward Seo-ah. “Let’s stop wasting time with things neither of us wants to do. Let's just each get what we want. How about it?” Things neither of us wants to do. Those words lodged themselves in Seo-ah’s heart like a piece of ice. It was a heart that had been filled with Taehyuk’s warmth just a tiny bit over the past few days. Through the hole pierced by…

      TO 11 Cover
      by Ruby Chapter 11 “Answer me.” Taehyuk’s voice dropped low. It meant he was angry. The angrier Taehyuk got, the lower his voice sank. “D-Dear, it’s not like that...” Seo-ah stepped in hurriedly. “I asked Mrs. Kim,” Taehyuk dismissed her with clear displeasure. “I’m sorry,” Mrs. Kim hung her head low. “What is going on here?” Just then, Seung-hee entered the kitchen and asked. Taehyuk snapped around toward Seung-hee. “Did you order this, Mother?” “Order what?” “Why is…

      by Ruby Chapter 10 “Um... I’d like it if you didn't look at me in front of your parents.” Taehyuk narrowed his eyes. “I’d prefer it if you didn't pay any attention to me at all. No matter what I do.” “You’re asking me to treat you like a ghost?” Seo-ah nodded vigorously. “What’s the reason? Does that have to do with your pregnancy, too?” Along with the word 'pregnancy,' his gaze swept over her lower abdomen. “Yes.” Seo-ah answered firmly. Because this was a matter directly…

      TO 9 Cover
      by Ruby Chapter 9 Seo-ah’s eyes trembled at the reproach hidden behind his expressionless face. “It... wouldn't be bad if Dad raised the child, either.” Seo-ah’s voice trailed off, devoid of confidence. “Right. Raising the child together as mom and dad would be best for the kid. And it’s not as if I’m going anywhere.” Taehyuk’s gaze jabbed at Seo-ah as though saying you’re the problem here. “H-However...” Looking at the hesitant Seo-ah, the corners of Taehyuk’s mouth…

      TO 8 Cover
      by Ruby Chapter 8 “Lee Seo-ah. I told you, you’re drunk.” Taehyuk’s brows knit sharply. He despised drunk women. Yet even facing his stern expression, Seo-ah didn't care in the slightest. “Yes, I am drunk. So tell me. Why didn't you kiss me like that? If you had kissed me like that sooner...” Seo-ah’s gaze swept lingeringly over Taehyuk’s body. Having thrown on his bathrobe without much thought, Taehyuk became acutely conscious of his chest exposed through the gap in the robe. “If even…

      TO 7 Cover
      by Ruby Chapter 7 In the end, Taehyuk couldn't recall. The only thing that remained in his memory was the image of Seo-ah’s face looking like she had been stuck in a massive wedding cake. Even so, her face had been lovely. Useless thoughts. Taehyuk reached out and turned off the shower. The small cracks Seo-ah had created in his life were spreading across his heart. Through those fissures, memories he had stowed away were slowly leaking out, though he had yet to realize it. “Come and eat.” Taehyuk…

      TO 6 Cover
      by Ruby Chapter 6 Taehyuk’s eyes narrowed. The text had been sent around the time he was in his meeting—late at night, long after the flower shop’s delivery window would have closed. For no clear reason, an urgent restlessness took hold of him. “Didn't you say you sent the flowers today?” “Yes, sir. I did. I even received a photo confirming the delivery.” “Were there... roses?” At Taehyuk’s question, the secretary flusteredly pulled out his phone. “Never mind.” Taehyuk raised his…
