“Ugh..”

The bright sunlight stimulated my eyes.

I woke up, rubbing my heavy eyes, and realized that it was morning.

As I stretched out my arms, a refreshing feeling came over my body. My body felt much lighter than before.

I wonder if it’s an expensive bed for nothing.

“Lips.. are all chapped..”

When I gently put my finger on my lips, I felt a slight tingling sensation.

As I recalled the memory of being raped by Athena without thinking, I felt a wave of shame wash over me again.

‘Even if it’s between women… isn’t that a bit much…’

She wants to erase all traces of her presence on Lily and Dania.

It wasn’t a light expression of affection. It was a passionate kiss, like a loving couple would give.

And not just yesterday. Every night from now on..

No, it won’t work.

Athena may have simply been trying to erase her traces, but I didn’t think I could endure it.

For me, who had once been a man, the feeling of her fucking my mouth was so dizzying that my mind went blank.

Lily and Dania took it for granted, thinking it was a familial display of affection, but Athena was a different matter entirely.

I pulled myself out of bed, thinking that if we ever meet again, I should talk to her.

I got out of the large bed and looked around, and the room looked more messy than when I first came.

The clothes I had been wearing were strewn all over the floor, and the bed was in such a mess that it was impossible to find any trace of its original neat appearance.

..I guess I should start by cleaning.

I felt like if I left it like this, it would only cause trouble for the maids, so I quickly got up and started tidying up the room.

‘I’m going to clean up like this.’

I’ve been living alone for five years. I’ve mastered most household chores, so cleaning my room was nothing more than a chore.

The blanket was folded at an angle and placed neatly at the end.

The clothes that were lying around were neatly folded and placed on the table.

If I ever find out where the laundromat is, I’ll go and do my laundry.

In addition, other messy places were also thoroughly cleaned.

I drew all the curtains to let the sunlight into the room and opened the windows to ventilate the room.

Even the slightly crooked furniture was moved little by little to achieve perfect balance.

Not long after that.

‘Hmm. Perfect.’

Unlike before, I was satisfied with the neat and tidy appearance of the room with good symmetry.

Looking at the clean scenery, a strange feeling of satisfaction began to fill my heart little by little.

dripping-

– Miss, may I come in?

As he was praising himself, he heard the maid’s voice outside.

I told her to come in with a proud voice.

‘Would you be surprised if you saw the room?’

As I opened the door, expecting her reaction, two maids came in.

“Did you sleep well, Miss?”

“I heard a sound from inside so I came in to check.”

They spoke for a while and then looked at the scenery of the room.

“But… I think the room has changed a little?”

I immediately noticed something had changed.

I straightened my shoulders, lifted my nose, and spoke to them.

“Hmm…hmm…I woke up this morning feeling dizzy. So I cleaned up a bit.”

How about it? This is the K-Army style sword sharpening!

Let’s look at the maids with a little bit of anticipation,

They were looking around the room with somewhat dull expressions.

uh..?

“Oh..is this..strange..?”

When I asked in a timid voice, they looked at each other for a moment before speaking.

“No, that’s not it. There are some general rules set by the mansion. This doesn’t fit with them.”

“Oh..really..?”

“You don’t have to do anything, Miss! We’ll take care of everything from now on.”

“That’s right. Just take it easy haha.”

My heart sank a little when I didn’t get the reaction I expected.

Well. But if there are set rules like they say, then it’s right to follow them.

I felt a little disappointed, but I was able to shake it off quickly.

“What would you like for breakfast, Miss?”

One person asked about the meal.

Is it really okay not to eat with Athena?

I wish that were the case.

If I were to eat every meal with her, there would probably come a day when I would have a big fight.

“Can I eat it now?”

“Yes! Sure. Should I bring it to you? Or would you like to go to a restaurant and eat?”

I was afraid that I would run into Athena if I went to a restaurant for no reason, so I just asked her to bring it to me.

That day, I experienced a new world where I got to eat in bed.

As if I were opening a window on a cool day and covering myself with a blanket, an inexplicable sense of satisfaction filled my body.

Eating in the most comfortable place in the world.

It was an addiction that was impossible to break once you got into the habit.

If I ate breakfast like this every morning, wouldn’t that be heaven?

After such a delightful breakfast.

I was in deep trouble.

‘What are you doing..?’

There is nothing to do.

I came here as a slave of Athena.

If she doesn’t call me separately, there’s nothing I can do.

I tried to talk to the maids to see if they would help me with my work,

They expressed their stubborn refusal.

“We’ll take care of our own business!”

“Young lady, just rest comfortably.”

So here I am, lying back in bed doing nothing.

Since I wasn’t tired, I just stared blankly at the ceiling with my eyes wide open.

In the past, I would have spent the whole day lying in bed reading novels on my phone, but that is no longer possible.

After rolling around in bed for a while, I finally couldn’t stand the boredom and ran out of the room.

So the person I ended up looking for as I left the room and wandered around the mansion was-

“Are you bored?”

“Yeah..”

It was Alina.

After talking about this and that with her, we became quite close.

Alina asked me to leave her alone, and I complied.

I also asked her to speak comfortably, but she said she couldn’t do that because she was a maid.

I am a slave.

If we just consider class, aren’t I lower?

Anyway, Alina was currently the only person I could feel comfortable with in the mansion.

“Um…How about going to the study?”

Seo Jae-ra…

It wasn’t bad.

It might even have been a good thing, since reading novels was what I mostly did in my free time.

But is there really a novel here?

It might be in a place like a large library.

But this is Athena’s mansion.

It didn’t seem like there would be any books for entertainment.

But I think it’s better than just sitting still.

I tried to ask to be guided to the study.

“Ah! Or, since the knights are training right now, why don’t you go and take a look?”

Her second suggestion sent thoughts of the study flying away.

article.

A profession that is absolutely essential when it comes to fantasy novels.

A swordsman who follows the noble code of chivalry and fights with his life for his master.

They are the ones who cannot be missed when it comes to romance. Their very existence is romantic.

‘..I miss you.’

It felt like a fire was rekindled in my once manly heart.

A duel between knights.

“Okay. Let’s go that way.”

How can I put up with this?

.

.

.

So let’s follow Alina to the training ground.

visor-

The brisk sound of iron clashing violently flowed into my ears.

Looking at the direction of the sound,

The sight of muscular men swinging swords at each other unfolded before my eyes.

As I got a little closer, the hot heat emanating from them was transmitted to my skin.

Their movements were as solid as Mt. Tai, and their sword strikes that cut through the wind seemed capable of splitting a rock in two.

“Awesome..”

As I was muttering while blankly looking at the articles, Alina nodded in agreement next to me.

“The knights are always cool.”

I would love to marry one of those guys. I think it would be fun to just stare at their muscles all day long.

He stared at them, ignoring Alina’s muttering next to him.

‘They’re all expert level.’

In the world of Indomitable Hero, inspectors are divided into five categories.

Beginner, User, Expert, Master, Grand Master.

Each stage is divided into upper, middle, and lower, but if we broadly categorize it, it can be divided into the five below.

Although clumsy, sword users were able to use attacks using mana, and experts were able to use mana skillfully.

Mastery was a realm that only the chosen ones could reach, and it was a level that only exceptional geniuses could reach through painstaking effort.

What is the grand master..

Originally, there was only one Grand Master in this empire.

Black Carlos.

A man who has surpassed human limits and reached the extreme limits of swordsmanship.

Grand Master was a title reserved solely for him.

There was a hint towards the latter half of the novel that the protagonist could reach the Grand Master level, but it was still nowhere near that.

Seeing that Athena also stayed at the Master level, we could see how lofty a realm Grand Master was.

But why is Athena the strongest human in the empire when she also has a sword?

If we only look at swordsmanship skills, then Geomsung would be stronger, but Athena was not only an excellent swordsman but also a powerful magician.

She reached the 8th circle. She has reached the realm of a great magician.

The 7th Circle is a realm that can only be reached by a talented magician who studies and trains in magic until the day before his death, and who also has luck.

Anything beyond that is the realm of geniuses.

But he reached the 8th circle at a young age. He is someone that even geniuses fear.

That person was Athena.

anyway.

The story has diverged, but what’s important now is that each and every one of the articles there is expert or higher.

Looking closely at their sword strikes, a considerable amount of mana was condensed around the swords.

If I swing it like that, I think I can easily split even solid rocks.

It’s not just about attacking.

They also have mana surrounding their bodies, so they will have a defense that makes them impervious to normal attacks.

Suddenly my heart started pounding fast.

Since I became a fan, I felt like I was immersed in a fantasy novel for the first time.

After seeing only low-level criminals and weak monsters like mobs in Drax, my heart began to fill with excitement when I saw a real strong person.

Of course, I had encountered Athena before, but she was out of the question.

There is a saying that falling from a 10-story building is scarier than falling from a 1,000-story building.

To that extent, areas that are beyond one’s imagination tend not to have much impact on that person.

But now.

When I witnessed the scene of knights fighting each other, I could feel that I had entered the world of my favorite novel, The Indomitable Hero.

‘I want to fight.’

The thought of wanting to test my strength against them was slowly spreading through my head.

I’ve been in a lot of fights, but never a proper fight.

I wanted to have a proper match where offense and defense were exchanged, rather than a one-sided fight where we lost.

I have my own unique ability. I will never fall behind them.

I was possessed by a fantasy novel with great abilities.

I thought, isn’t it natural to feel this way?

It was as if all the anger that had been suppressed by Athena for so long had burst out and burned.

..Should I ask you to spar with me?

I don’t think he would refuse if I asked earnestly.

Rather, if I reveal that I have a unique ability, they might ask me to fight them.

And since it’s a sparring match anyway, there won’t be any serious injuries.

Of course, I’m a knight. I can control my strength well, so there won’t be any problem.

“Okay.”

I tried to calm my burning heart as much as possible and walked towards them with a sense of anticipation.

But what was waiting for me ahead of this was neither a duel nor a fight.

It was a tragedy.

.

.

.

“……Huh?”

What could it be?

The gruesome sight I see before my eyes now.

As if watching a movie in fast forward,

A large number of people were moving quickly, running here and there.

“Hey!!! Dylan!!! What the heck! Is the therapist here yet!!”

His screams brought me out of my thoughts.

My pupils began to shake violently.

My hands were shaking as if an earthquake had occurred.

My feet didn’t move at all. I just looked at this sight.

My mind was blank, as if it didn’t want to accept this situation.

“Coolook…”

“Wake up!! The doctor will be here soon. Just hold on a little longer!”

I approached him with trembling steps.

“Get out of here now!! You monster bitch… Do you think you’ll get away with this!”

“Ah…no…I…I…”

“Please hold on a little longer, Dylan. Think of your wife who is waiting for you. ”

A man with a hole in his chest standing in front of me, vomiting blood.

In the fading eyes, only fear towards me seemed to fill them.

“Kku…it must be a dream..”

It’s a dream.

I just had a bad dream.

It has to be that way.
