There is a strong smell of blood and gastric juice.

Seven men, or rather corpses, hanging on a cross. Six of them had split stomachs, and the remaining one was just hanging out.

“It’s so hard.”

It’s literally so fucking hard and dirty.

There is quite a lot of fat in the human stomach.

It is not easy to slit such a boat with just a small razor blade.

In addition, the blood that flows out, the fat that gets stuck on the blade, the gastric juice that pours out when the stomach is cut, and undigested food.

This is possible for a country with a strong stomach after seeing countless horrific corpses, but it is literally an extremely difficult task that an ordinary person would not even dare to undertake.

‘The damn probability correction is a bonus.’

As always, there was an 80% chance that my guess was wrong, so I was only able to find the key on the 6th attempt.

“Cheshire, took out the key. Come out quickly.”

There is no answer.

When I looked up and looked around, Cheshire was nowhere to be found.

I’m sure it was there before the stomach was cut open, but I wonder where it went.

Given Cheshire’s talkative nature, if he was going somewhere, he would definitely have said he was going.

Did you go to the bathroom?

Even the devil wearing a human mask is probably a human being.

I had no choice but to proceed as I pleased, so I opened the prison door with weak hands.

There was no pure white wizard in the prison.

No, there was one. The pure white wizard ‘Doll’.

‘Why did they kidnap everyone else and turn only the wizard into a doll?’

I don’t know what that cat was thinking.

Shiny armor and sword lying next to the doll.

Even at first glance, it looks like this is armor and sword that have had the curse removed.

Are you just throwing away the armor and sword you left in the treasure room?

It’s a show, so if you prepare for it, they’ll at least give you something believable.

‘That’s so sketchy.’

I held up a flashing sword.

It was still heavy, but I could swing it.

Even so, it would be useless.

The armor was medieval-style full body armor.

I don’t know what it’s made of, but it looks flimsy and light, so it’s probably a toy.

‘hmm?’

There is a piece of paper stuck in a helmet lying near the armor.

Along with the directions, there was something written in Cheshire font, and when I slowly interpreted it…

– You rescued the wizard, congratulations! Thanks to the wizard, the curse has been lifted, so put this on and go to the place written on the map. Your partner Cheshire♡

The part with the writing on it was torn off and thrown away.

*

“It’s so stuffy.”

Wearing toy armor and following the directions, we arrived at a castle.

If the fairy tale is true, there is a monster in that castle.

And not just one, but four.

According to the setting, the room where the princess is trapped is protected by a witch’s barrier, and to lift this barrier, four magic circles must be erased.

The problem is that the magic circle is guarded by monsters.

Therefore, you must kill all four monsters or somehow avoid them and clear the magic circle.

In short, it means that we are going to fall so far behind.

“But where has this little bastard gone?”

“Did you find me?”

“Oh fuck, I’m surprised.”

Turn on your blinkers and come in.

“Kuhuhuh~. Now it’s the long-awaited final act. Isn’t it so sad?”

“Not at all.”

“Cuthless~. For Zeke like that, I prepared the last act hotly.”

Cheshire spun around in place and began talking again in an exaggerated theatrical tone.

“The prince, who broke the witch’s curse, finally arrived at the witch’s castle where the princess was imprisoned. Now, can the handsome prince save the beautiful princess from the evil witch~?”

“Ugh, fuck.”

I lightly warmed up and stood in front of the castle gate.

Cheshire pulled the lever on the wall, and the gate slowly opened.

“The princess is waiting for the prince. I look forward to great performances. Kuhuhu~.”

I didn’t bother to reply to Cheshire’s words and entered the castle.

When I entered the castle, I saw a large space.

A tightly closed door in the center, four paths, and stairs immediately caught my eye.

‘What do you call a space like this? entrance? lobby?’

I guess you could call it an entrance hall.

First, I tried to open the middle door, but it was still locked.

‘This is a barrier.’

According to the fairy tale setting, this locked door is the door to the witch, and the remaining four paths seem to lead to the magic circle.

Sighing at the useless research, I took the first path.

‘In fairy tales, it just says that there were monsters… .’

There was no detailed information or description of the monsters. It was simply written that there were strong monsters, the prince struggled, found their weakness, and somehow won.

In the end, it’s up to me to figure out what the monster’s characteristics are and what weaknesses it has.

Fucking bitch.

As I walked along the road, I saw a sign.

A mute icon with a red line through the speaker.

It clearly meant to be quiet.

‘Is there a monster that is sensitive to sound?’

The fucking armor makes a loud noise every time I step on the floor, so how can I make it quiet?

First, I walked carefully so as not to make as much noise as possible.

‘It’s okay if you step gently.’

Although the little piglet that was walking gently on tiptoe looked like an idiot.

Anyway, when I peeked my head over the blocking wall, I saw a really big, fucking-looking monster.

I don’t know where on earth they got such a cub, but it had no eyes or nose on its head, and instead only had a pair of large ears.

‘Why are you openly advertising this as a hearing tool?’

I took a quick step forward.

By making as little noise as possible.

Fortunately, the monster didn’t seem to hear, and took another step forward.

‘If I do this well, I might be able to succeed on my first try.’

I walked very slowly, as if I was filming with a high-speed camera.

Now we’ve become quite close to each other.

I calmly take another step, but his body twitches.

A monster that raises its head and looks around.

I froze in place.

I was planning on waiting for him to fall asleep again, but instead of going to sleep, he kept looking around, and then his head turned towards me.

A monster slowly approaching.

‘Fuck, how did you know?’

Before I knew it, the earl was right in front of me, and he opened his mouth wide, probably thinking I was just prey that had rolled in.

‘Such a brat with no hair.’

Do you have good ears?

Then go somewhere.

“Evil!!!!”

The earl flinched loudly at the heavy shout coming from the danjeon.

I was hoping that this shout would neutralize it like a sonic attack, but it was not possible.

I had no choice but to run away toward the passage he was guarding.

Thump – Thump – Thump –

I heard a monster running behind me.

Fuck, I just keep getting chased.

I ran pretty hard, but I couldn’t compete with the quadrupedal beast.

I felt a heavy blow on my back, and was sent flying straight into the wall at high speed.

“Wow… Sipal… .”

It really sucks to be fucked from behind by something that looks like shit.

My body was crushed by the reckless bastard’s lunges.

If it had been completely crushed, it would have been easier to search, but since it was half crushed, I couldn’t even search and was only feeling the pain.

I have no feeling in my lower body, and it is difficult to breathe. It’s probably because my spine and ribs are broken. Where did just those two break down? My body became a mess to the point that it was faster to find a clean place.

Since I was in a situation where I couldn’t even lift a finger, I couldn’t even resist the monster that was devouring me.

The good news was that this monster chewed with its teeth.

It is better to chew it thoroughly than to swallow it alive.

‘It was terrible when I was swallowed alive by a snake.’

Being stuck in my stomach and slowly dissolving into digestive juices is something I never want to experience again.

Because it’s so frustrating and so boring.

The body was torn apart by the teeth and mixed with the disgusting saliva of the monster.

‘This isn’t very pleasant either.’

Finally, I lost consciousness as I felt my skull being crushed.

[Game over. Restart from the last save point.]

“Poppy, I’m here.”

Poppy runs to welcome me from afar.

“It still looks like shit.”

The more I look at it, the more I feel the mystery of nature, wondering how a creature that looks like that can exist.

‘Oh, the monsters on the eastern continent didn’t form naturally, right?’

I heard there’s a queen who apparently creates monsters, but her aesthetic sense is terrible.

If I make something cool or cute, it will be worth it.

Don’t you feel sorry for Poppy, who has to live with such an ugly appearance?

‘what… ‘I’m not particularly pitiful.’

I should feel sorry for that bastard because he is so pretty.

You’re a bastard who killed me more than 10 times.

Before you know it, Poppy has come running right in front of you.

I took action before my body was crushed by excessive displays of affection.

Gikkigeek– Gikkigeek—

The forearm part of the armor was scratched, making the sound of metal scraping.

Poppy, who was running, got sick of the sound and took a step back.

There are noises that cause discomfort.

A typical example is something like the sound of scratching on a blackboard.

It’s not just a noise that you don’t want to hear, it’s a noise that gives goosebumps all over your body and makes you feel angry from deep within your heart.

Although the sound of scraping metal is a bit minor, I remember hearing that for sensitive people it feels no different from scratching a blackboard.

Having good ears, in other words, means having sensitive ears. So I tested Poppy, wondering if she would hate the sound of scraping metal, and it worked really well.

I feel like I don’t just hate the sound, but I absolutely hate the very existence of the country that makes this sound.

Just as animals with noses don’t bother to eat food that smells bad, Poppy doesn’t seem to want to eat something that makes a disgusting sound.

I make a scraping sound, so I’m kind of an auditory version of a skunk.

It’s all just my guess, though.

Anyway, I defeated Poppy easier than I thought, and headed toward the passage she was guarding.

“Poppy, see you later.”

Because I plan to go after the next monster as well.

*

After passing Poppy and walking for a while, we arrived at a strange space.

A magic circle drawn with red liquid.

And in the center was a strange object with a button.

The button seems to be responsible for releasing the magic circle, but what is that?

‘Bear doll arms?’

The arm of a teddy bear lying next to the button.

I must have opened it roughly, and all the cotton was sticking out.

‘Isn’t this the teddy bear I gave Veronica as a gift?’

It’s been a while so I don’t remember much, but I think my arm roughly looked like this.

It’s okay to buy another teddy bear, but you steal it from someone else and use it for other reasons. You are a bastard with no morals.

‘I need to make up my mind sometime and provide some real education…’ .’

I can’t do that because of that damn teleportation gift.

‘After the attack is over, will you become more calm?’

It’s hard to imagine that devilish Cheshire becoming quiet.

It’s to the point where I’m worried that it might stick next to me and bother me even more.

I’m already being voyeurized 24 hours a day by a clairvoyant, and a teleporting stalker might also be following me.

What a pleasant life.

Haha fuck.
