Fear creeps in. It covered my body in the most disgusting and hideous forms.

The memory of the blade digging into my skin, the sensation of being stained with blood and shivering remained, and it became a fear, and I could not shake that fear, so it became a trauma.

I didn’t want this to happen, but I feel completely helpless that it ended up like this.

The current reality was that it was difficult to win over a man who was said to be strong because of the slender woman’s body, or even a man with the same body type as me.

That’s why I was afraid, and the worry that I didn’t know who would attack me at any time drove me crazy.

Who will save me? Who will come to catch me?

I’m just scared because I don’t know everything.

The metal in my throat blocked my breathing.

I felt like the life was draining out of my body, and the beat was so random that my body flinched.

I’m crying. I’m crying.

What dwells in a cold body is convulsions,

What it brought about was death.

The itching did not go away until the moment I lost so much blood that my vitality gradually disappeared, but at that moment when my vitality completely disappeared, I could no longer feel the itchiness.

And I slowly fall in love with it.

The same feeling of sinking into the depths of the water as I felt before.

As if I was underwater, the sound faded away, and with it, all my senses faded away.

Darkness.

And when the light came on again, what was visible was a sea of blood.

The wooden floor was stained with blood, but there was no bloody smell.

At the same time, the blood did not harden and was just like liquid, soaking my body.

The pure white saint’s clothes were stained bright red, and everything around her was also stained red.

After shaking off the dripping liquid, I slowly moved my wet body and leaned my back against the wall.

Why is this happening?

If he were an ordinary person, he would have died, so why did he do such a thing?

I furrowed my brow because I couldn’t understand it myself, but the answer simply and clearly flashed through my head without me having to say anything.

I felt like I was trying to die because I felt like I wasn’t going to die anyway, and that this persistent itch and fear were less than death.

Look at this.

It seems less itchy than before.

I let out a trembling breath and, holding on to my flickering spirit, grabbed my bangs and brushed them away as if I was combing them.

My wet hair soon vomited blood onto my body, replenishing moisture in my already red and drying clothes.

As I was looking at the scene in a daze, I guess it had been some time since I heard someone chatting beyond that door.

There were other guests’ voices coming and going, but the voice that sounded familiar to my ears was not a voice I had never heard before, but the voice of Kailon and Linda chatting.

-Linda, aren’t you just losing too much?

-Kylon is too strong. Maybe it’s because he’s a warrior that he learns it quickly.

-Then again, the person who won today decided to do whatever he wanted…

-Tsk.

Kailon, who seemed excited about having sex, and Linda, who seemed to be deliberately watching as if she was enjoying it, made me laugh out loud.

Still, as soon as I heard that voice, the tickling sensation that crawled around my body disappeared.

“… … .”

Isn’t it absurd?

The fact that he saved me first and that he is protecting me from the king makes my body welcome Kylon without even listening to me.

Isn’t it really funny?

Honestly, even though I want to be alone, the moment I am alone, there is a body crying out for me to be by my side because I am alone and scared.

Empty eyes hover in the air.

The puddle of blood that had not dried yet gave off an unsightly feeling.

In my hand was a knife, a blade sticking out of my neck.

Since it wasn’t itchy at this moment, I had no use for the knife right now, so I just threw it away.

The knife rolled on the floor helplessly, covered in my blood.

Even after hearing that sound, I couldn’t wake up from my daze, so I just closed my eyes.

And soon what was heard was a groan.

The sound of a woman crying in pleasure can be heard through the wall.

-Huh! Ouch!

Even though I was hearing that sound, I couldn’t think of anything else, so I wondered if I had finally lost my senses.

There was a time when I too longed to experience a life like that.

Wasn’t the whole reason I tried to download the game because I wanted to indirectly experience the life of Kylon over there?

This is obvious, but for a short while, the characters’ narratives made up of text were just fun for me.

The characters have their own narratives, and you yourself are a three-dimensional character. It was natural to see this being said and to become even more energized by the indirect experience.

Then I look at it and think, oh, you’re that kind of character. I wanted to tease him, have fun, and then turn off the game.

But what now?

Aren’t you just listening to noises coming from the next room?

I took the pain, but I did not receive any apology or compensation for it.

-Huh!

-There is no such thing as a bitch!

-Ahh! Ah, what a bitch…

So as I listened to that voice, I felt like I was losing my mind.

I was just sitting against the wall with my legs stretched out, so I bent my knees and hugged them, then leaned my upper body and crouched down.

And after burying his face in his knees, he covered his ears.

When I hear this sound, a sense of shame and resentment bursts out.

If I don’t listen to the sound, this fear and tickling will flow out, so what should I do?

I don’t want to live in pain any longer, but why do I have to live like this?

Why did I have to wake up in this body?

As he groaned and trembled, his eyes caught sight of the red potion in front of him, gently radiating warmth on top of the puddle of blood.

A healing potion made from my blood without the bloody smell.

Although it was a glass bottle, blood had been splattered several times on the outside, so red liquid was visible.

As I watched it quietly, I bit my trembling lip and lowered my head again.

-Ugh! Ah! Ah!

-You liked this, right?

-Kek, ugh, ugh!

Even if you cover your ears, you can’t help the sound you hear.

I didn’t know whether I should be envious of Kylon, jealous, resentful, or grateful, so I just listened to them chatting.

May the moon wax and wane.

May the sun slowly greet tomorrow.

Tweet, tweet.

At dawn, the chirping sound of morning rang in my head.

Then, after awakening my dazed mind, I realized.

The fact that I stayed up all night without being able to sleep while listening to the cries of a man and a woman.

I stretched out my trembling hand and roughly rubbed the knife I had thrown aside on my clothes to wipe away the blood.

I wondered if the blade of this knife might be damaged, but fortunately, the blood flowing from my body seemed to be different from that of other people, and perhaps that was why the blade of this knife did not seem to be damaged.

I dropped my haggard eyes and glanced at where the sheath of this knife was, and there I saw a sheath made of leather that was not wet with blood.

I’m exhausted.

I didn’t do anything in particular, but I was mostly exhausted from my own trauma and being alone.

Maybe that’s why I just became depressed.

I felt a strong sense of helplessness, and not only did my body feel tired, but I also thought about what I would do if I inadvertently caused trouble to other parties today.

I looked around, thinking that it wouldn’t be a good situation to show others like this.

But, to my shame, there were no extra clothes among the things given to me.

Even so, I was afraid to knock on the door of the next room because I was sure that Linda was sleeping next to me to go see Kailon.

Even if I went to sleep and woke up at a set time like in a game, I could wake up early depending on my actions, so I ended up having a miserable morning.

“… Ugh.”

My voice, which had become hoarse due to being stabbed in the throat and staying up all night again, scratched my rough throat and came out like a moan.

It was uncomfortable to move because the dried blood had stiffened my clothes, but when I managed to get up, I felt like my limbs were shaking.

I tried to hold my shaking head and focus, but it seemed like my body was not listening, as the shock of staying up all night with my eyes open and doing nothing was too much of a shock both physically and mentally.

After walking slowly with his hands on the wall, he picked up the blood potions that were on the now dry floor one by one and put them into a good bag, followed by the knife as well.

Although it was stained with blood, should we consider it fortunate that it did not smell bloody?

I had no idea, so I groaned, then swallowed my saliva and headed out the door.

And so, I went out and carefully raised my hand towards the room where Kailon and Linda next to me were happily dreaming.

After contemplating for a few minutes whether I should knock on the door or not, I thought it would be troublesome if someone woke up in the morning and saw me, so I made a quick decision and moved my hand.

Knock, knock, knock.

The clear sound of a knock on the door reached my ears, and a rustling sound was also heard beyond the door.

-… who?

It was Kylon’s voice.

Still, I felt fortunate that Kailon woke up early.

If it were Linda, she might have looked at me disapprovingly for coming to this situation.

I didn’t want to do that, but I was misunderstood and took Kylon away. I had no intention of getting involved in a fight like that, so I let out a sigh of relief and cautiously opened my mouth.

I thought Linda might have woken up too.

“It’s me, Veronica. Hero, is it okay for a moment?”

-okay.

I opened my mouth gently, neither too high nor too low, and Kailon immediately accepted what I said without asking anything.

… Wait, what will Kylon say if he sees this now?

The saint’s clothes, which were originally supposed to be pure white, were now dyed so bright red that there were almost no white spots, so I thought they would be shocked and wondered what if I startled them for no reason.

However, I couldn’t take off my clothes to greet him, so I just made a sad expression and went into my room.

The moment I entered the room, I heard Kylon come out into the hallway and follow me to my room.

The moment the closed door opened again, Kailon’s stern expression turned to me.
