“Do you want to come down and talk for a moment?”

I was on my way to get a divorce.

Inside the carriage.

All I wanted to do was hold on to my wife, Ashley, who was sitting next to me again.

“What story?”

“I thought our conversation wasn’t enough. About divorce… ”

“Don’t do that. We both clearly made up our minds.”

At the sound of my wife’s firm voice, my eyes fell helplessly, and the gazes of my sister-in-law and my wife’s friend who were sitting across from me crawled up as if they were going to eat me.

“Naru, you agreed. Don’t be soggy.”

“Ah~ I hate squishy men the most in the world~”

Cold gaze.

A teasing look.

Sister-in-law Serena.

Loverini, my wife’s best friend.

It seemed like their eyes no longer saw me as a person.

I was looking down on them like I was looking at bugs.

These two played a huge role in encouraging his wife to divorce in the first place.

I sleep next to my wife every day.

‘sister. You have to think about face. Do you plan to live your whole life with someone who is incompetent and even has a limp on one leg?’

‘What’s your job as a porter? The whole world will laugh at me. This is a fraudulent marriage. Isn’t that right, Ashley? think carefully. We are telling the reality.’

In addition, my mother-in-law, Mrs. Michelle.

‘you. Is it really hopeless? Are you going to make Ashley miserable? ‘I’m so embarrassed by you these days that I can’t even go out to social events.’

Once upon a time, I was a successful warrior.

I roamed the world without fear with talented colleagues.

Then, by chance, I met my current wife, Ashley, and we fell in love like a match made in heaven and got married right away.

After marriage, my party disbanded.

I could no longer continue my wandering life, leaving behind my lovely wife.

Due to my settled life, my colleagues dispersed and went their separate ways, and I came to live with my wife’s house as Daryl’s son-in-law while maintaining my membership in the guild called ‘Thunderfield’, which I had joined since the beginning of my adventure.

To prevent my skills from rusting, I planned to continue guild activities even if I was alone.

Moreover, he could not give up the benefits, such as treatment and high social status, as a member of the highest level of skill in the guild.

That’s how much Thunderfield Guild was a prestigious guild that everyone knew.

My wife’s family was very satisfied and proud that I was doing well in a famous guild.

My name is Naru Kang.

I am a Korean who suddenly fell into a different world 7 years ago when I was a high school student.

I don’t know who sent me to this world, but at least he had a conscience.

That’s right, I had strong powers from the first day I came to this world.

‘Go for it, you insignificant monsters!’

Based on the power overflowing within his body, he gained fame by gathering friends and defeating demons.

But the luck lasted just before marriage.

Not long after I got married, I lost my strength.

It all started with a request from craftsman Heirger.

‘From now on, listen carefully to what I say. Actually, there is a curse in our family that has been passed down from our ancestors.’

The curse of my wife’s family, the Rapone family.

100 years ago from now.

It all started when my wife, Ashley’s great-great-grandfather, secretly spied on ‘Vera the Oriental Wind’ bathing in a lake in the forest one day.

‘Oh, it’s beautiful…’ ! Those breasts… ! That pussy hair! Oooh! Isn’t it truly a work of art? !’

He told the whole world about what he saw that day.

‘I may be the only person in the world who has seen the famous, ancient-looking Dongfeng Vera naked! Her breasts looked like two large grapes, and the green hairs on the mounds were so bright and beautiful… ! I thought something like silk would jump out at once, sweep away the fur, and smell what was inside!’

His words, which he uttered every day while drinking, spread widely and eventually reached Vera’s ears.

‘What a shame!’

As the whole world laughed and commented on his body, Vera became so angry that she cursed him and all of his blood.

It was a curse that caused him to have a seizure and collapse with foam at the mouth just by looking at the sea, river or lake.

So-called epilepsy.

The curse was passed down to future generations, so much so that the Rapone family became so frightened at the sight of a puddle of stagnant water that they could not even go near the water’s edge.

‘Defeat Vera and lift the curse on our family. Since you are a warrior, it might be possible.’

I was energetic and confident.

And because of my wife Ashley, who always gave me love and trust, I was motivated to do it at all costs.

‘You came to lift the curse of the Rapone family? Hahaha good. Then make a bet with me.’

result…

I was standing there, limping on my left leg and losing the strength of a warrior.

‘sorry. ‘My skills were not enough.’

After the adventure, he returned to his in-laws looking like a defeated soldier, and from then on, the atmosphere in the house began to turn ugly.

My mother-in-law looked at me like I was sick when she saw me losing my strength, being limp, and not being able to do even one person’s job properly, and my wife, Ashley, was complaining as time went by.

‘You were hired as a porter at the Thunderfield Guild? You were originally in an honorable position, right? ‘Why did you take on such a trivial task?’

‘Our guild has a rule that if performance is poor, no matter how famous a person is, he or she must take on internal work such as cleaning or reception, or take on porter work. I’m sorry it happened like this.’

When I no longer had the ability to receive requests, I fell from the top position in the guild to the bottom.

My wife, who was greatly disappointed by that incident, started sharing a separate room from that day.

‘It’s embarrassing that my husband is a porter!’

In this way, my mind and body became increasingly distant from Ashley.

As a couple, we debated whether or not to see each other once a week.

The seats next to her were taken by Serena and Loverini.

‘Sister, are you going to keep living like this? Others are making fun of our family. ‘My son-in-law came and said he was only eating food.’

‘Divorce. It’s better to sort it out before it’s too late. ‘A woman only loses by living with an incompetent man.’

People around me persistently encourage me to break up.

But the decision is Ashley’s to make.

She expected that she would not listen to her sister-in-law and friend because she was wise, but that expectation was shattered.

Ultimately, the marriage broke up after three years.

‘you. ‘We’re getting divorced.’

‘Think again. I’ll try.’

‘No matter how hard I try, I can’t listen. Because you have now become a being who cannot live without the help of others. I need a husband I can rely on.’

Divorce required the consent of both parties.

I cherished Ashley and tried to stay married until the end.

However, he had no choice but to give in to his father-in-law Heiger’s persuasion.

‘As a man, I see that you are not living. A mother-in-law ignores her son-in-law, and a wife hates her husband… I’m sorry. ‘It would be better for you two to divorce.’

‘It’s not possible. I love Ashley. This feeling will never change. I would give everything for her.’

‘Even though I’m not treated like a husband?’

‘Someday, you will cherish me… ‘

‘after… Why are you so stupid? If it were me, I wouldn’t even look at my in-laws like this.’

At that time, materials about the ancient wind Vera were scattered on Heirger’s desk.

Various cases and data collected and accumulated over a long period of time.

As he is the one who was cursed, he probably knows more about Vera than anyone else.

I heard that many people before me tried to subdue Vera or went there to appease her.

It failed every time.

As such experiences accumulated, he seemed to know something at least a little.

Could it be that I…

Do you know that I’m still betting with Vera?

But he never asked about it.

Even if you had asked, I wouldn’t have answered.

It had to be that way.

Victory condition number one.

Do not reveal our bet to anyone.

‘Every day, my wife and daughter commit unforgivable atrocities against you. I can’t open my eyes and look at it. Please. The best apology I can give is to set you free. Get away from a bad place and meet a better woman. ‘I didn’t know my daughter’s personality was this bad.’

Heyrger constantly talked about divorce.

He called me into his office several times and persuaded me.

His face was always filled with deep sorrow, and he truly pitied me for not being treated as a human being in the family.

‘Get out of hell. hurry.’

In fact, even Heirger was a husband who couldn’t show off his energy at home.

The reason was because of a curse.

My mother-in-law, Michelle, married her husband-to-be even though she knew he was cursed when she was a virgin.

Thanks to that, her voice was loud in the family, and Heirger always felt sorry for his wife.

Their daughters, Ashley and Serena, also inherited their father’s curse and were unable to go near the water.

Except for Michelle, her husband and daughters were cursed.

‘You are my son. I’ll think of you like a child, so feel free to come visit me at any time even after the divorce.’

I ultimately chose to divorce Ashley.

Aside from Hirger, my mother-in-law, wife, sister-in-law, and even my wife’s friend.

This is because I was pushed into a situation where I could no longer withstand the poisonous attacks of these four people.

He was subject to merciless abusive language and was even subjected to humiliation several times that would make him feel ashamed as a man.

‘Ashley’s heart has completely left me.’

So, I belatedly realized the sad reality that I could never go back to how I was before, and my short three-year marriage came to an end.

“I have put my mind in order. Don’t ever come here again. Because I don’t miss it at all.”

“Ashley… ”

In front of the family court in the royal capital.

I was on my way out after just finishing the trial.

Perhaps thanks to the influence of the Rapone family, the judge proceeded with the procedure for ‘nullification of marriage’ instead of divorce.

The marriage is invalid…

It was a good thing for both me and Ashley.

However, rather than being immediately invalidated, there had to be a period of consideration of one year.

After a year, the husband and wife’s intention to divorce was confirmed again, and if either of them had the intention to divorce, the judge made a ruling and ultimately the marriage never occurred.

“The law still considers us a couple, but when the world sees us coming to the family court, they will think we have already broken up. I am the same too.”

Ashley was ruthless until the moment they broke up.

“You are a stranger now. From now on, you can’t call me Ashley.”

I’m holding back the tears that want to flow because of the pain of separation, but I wonder how the woman in front of me can be so cruel.

‘Was it this simple for you to forget someone?’

I thought I knew a lot about Ashley, but I guess I was mistaken.

There was a cold side to me that I didn’t know about.

I looked at her.

“… Okay, lady. Take a look.”

From today onwards, I will completely forget about you.

I was thankful, even if only briefly.

Second victory condition.

Be as painful as possible.

The more this happens, the shorter the betting time will be.

I added another pain today that I never wanted.

The pain of being betrayed and abandoned by someone you love.

It was bitter but sweet.

Because the bet was still going on.
