Name: Theo (Kim Min-seong)

Age: 20 years old

Occupation: Villager

Title: Ugly Son

No matter how much I look at him, he is an ugly son to the villagers.

It seems like it’s an extra of extras that doesn’t even give any stats.

That’s what I’m saying.

When you come out of the game, you have no face, no presence, and no lines.

He’s just one of those townspeople who just happens to be entangled with other townspeople.

That’s probably who I am now… So what do you want me to do?

“Uhh… .”

That’s usually the case, right?

What I mean by that is, you’re a piece of rotten water, so use that information to save the world! That kind of stuff!

But how does villager 1 help the main characters?

At least give me a title of nobility so I can help you or not… No, no, right?

Do I really need to help?

“The world goes on anyway and everything will go as planned.”

This is no longer a game world.

Since I’ve been possessed, this place has now become one of the worlds that exist.

But would such a world easily collapse, be destroyed, or break apart?

“Is it too easy?”

But that’s it.

When I see such a peaceful scene unfolding before my eyes, and see a leisurely little villager or something written on my status screen, honestly, it doesn’t really hit me.

Things like the future, the world ending, etc.

If I were possessed by a villain in a game, I would struggle to survive, but this isn’t even that.

“Nobody cares about me.”

Of course, this applies to the main characters, but also to the villains.

It was clear that the only person who cared about me now was my mother, who suddenly appeared and wanted to give her son a slap on the back for running away from his farm work.

“… Then what should I do?”

Well, there are no signs of the world ending.

Both of the main characters are great people, so wouldn’t they do well on their own?

It was so extreme because it was a game, but honestly, it’s a world where people are alive right in front of our eyes.

They are all just ordinary people living in reality.

Kill them all to the extreme and destroy the world! Isn’t that even stranger?

“Okay, okay.”

I’ve decided.

Since I’ve already become a villager, I’ll just live as one.

You could say it’s complacent.

But honestly… Am I in a position where I can honestly do whatever I want?

Not at all. What can a villager do?

What if the world ends? Oh, what can I do? We’ll just die together.

Until then… I’ll just receive lots of love from my suddenly formed family and erase the title of “ugly son.”

***

So, for a month, I woke up like a crazy person earlier than anyone else, helped my parents with the farm work, and did the villagers’ requests as if I was receiving quests from NPCs in a game.

Name: Theo (Kim Min-seong)

Age: 20 years old

Occupation: Villager

Title: Proud Son, Best Juggler in the Village

Although he doesn’t like the title of “proud son”, he has also earned the title of “best trickster in the village.”

Honestly, I don’t know what use these are, but they do give me a +1 to my pride.

“Theo, how about taking a break today?”

Even my mother, who always ran to Theo’s mother and screamed at him for his nonsense, became incredibly gentle.

Now, it’s time to recommend taking a vacation first.

But that doesn’t mean I’m that good at my job.

Even before I became a farmer, I lived a life separated from farming, so I still can’t do anything.

But even if you can’t do it, you can show that you’re trying hard.

I am confident that I can do that one thing better than anyone else.

And because my parents had expected such diligence from Theo from the beginning, the frequency of me getting scolded for not being able to do my work actually decreased.

“Then shall we go out to the village and do some shopping?”

“Hey, it’s your day off, why are you doing that?”

“Still, Mom doesn’t have time because she’s busy working.”

“Oh my, my son only says nice things. I really like the way he looks these days.”

When I see my mother looking at me with sparkling eyes, I feel a bit embarrassed for some reason, but at the same time, I feel that this is what family love is like.

Where would I, an orphan, ever feel parental love like this?

Well, it’s a game, it’s a fantasy, it’s the original, it’s a novel.

If I were possessed for my own happiness, I think this kind of possession is much better than the main character’s possession.

“Then give me the shopping list and I’ll buy it when I get home later.”

“Yes, thank you as always. Oh, use this when you go out and play today.”

“Ah, I still have some of the allowance I got last time…!”

“But mom wants to give it to me so I do it.”

When I first got married, my mom would yell at me and say I didn’t have any money when I asked for money to rest, but now she even gives me pocket money!

Oh, okay, okay.

This is a successful life! A happy family!

If you are so excited that you put your pocket money in your belt and head to town, our town will be bustling again today.

“Hey, Theo. Is today your day off?”

“Yes, my mother told me to rest.”

“Child, so when are you going to get a job?”

“Hehe, I want to learn swordsmanship.”

“Sword or knife! It’s the same!”

The butcher who asked me when I would get a job every time he saw me, as if he had chosen me as his successor, when I told him I wanted to try handling a sword later.

“Theo, the vegetables are fresh today.”

“Oh~ The onions are really fresh?”

“Hmm, the more I look at her, the louder and more charming her voice is. I like her.”

As expected, the greengrocer wants to scout me because I have a loud voice and I am a talented person.

“Oh my, Theo looks handsome today too.”

“Haha, only you say that. But thank you.”

“How come you don’t need flowers today?”

“Oh, it seems like you’re still okay.”

Even the only flower shop owner who tells me I’m handsome every time she sees me, whether it’s because this face is a pick for old ladies.

Looking at the lively and bustling town, I can’t help but wonder why I ended up here and when I, a stranger, will disappear from here again, but until then, I want to spend my days happily like this.

Ugh, I guess it’s because I’m getting older that I’m becoming more and more emotional.

Oh, of course Theo is twenty years old.

Kim Min-seong, who’s inside, is twenty-five, fifty or so.

“They say that Her Highness the Crown Princess has finally revealed herself.”

“Really? Isn’t this your first time appearing at an official event?”

Sitting in the town square, I often hear news about the main characters, but most of it is about the saint.

I thought it was because it wasn’t yet time for the Crown Princess to start her full-fledged activities, so I just let it go… Huh? No, what did you say?

Wait a minute, Crown Princess? Not the Crown Prince?

“Over there… !”

With a puzzled expression, he goes into the gap between the people who had been talking until just now and asks.

“Oh, it’s Theo. What’s going on?”

“You just said that to the Crown Princess, right?!”

“Yes, that’s right. Are you interested in His Majesty too? Here’s the newspaper.”

I quickly grab the newspaper and check out the articles related to the palace.

[First appearance at an official event after being crowned crown princess]

It’s true.

She really is a crown princess, not a crown prince but a crown princess.

“What’s wrong? You don’t look well. Theo.”

“Oh, no… No! Thank you, I’ll return the newspaper here!”

“I see. You don’t seem to care much about gossip, but our Theo is a man, isn’t he? He’s really interested in the Crown Princess.”

“Hey, but her status is too high. In that sense, how is our daughter? If it’s Theo, it’s just like our daughter… .”

“What is this guy talking about! I already have Theo marked for me!”

It’s really a blessing that these men, who until recently were adamant that they would never send their daughters away, are now treating me like a popular guy.

But that’s not what’s important to me right now.

“Ah, I have a place to go. I’ll go first for today… !”

“Okay, come in.”

“Why do you look so busy, Theo. Do you have a girlfriend?”

I slip through the crowd of old men and run back home.

Of course, Mom and Dad have no intention of going to the farm, but rather head in the opposite direction, towards the warehouse.

Inside the warehouse, there was a collection of newspaper articles about the saint that had been published so far.

When you take her out, you can see that she is still a saint.

Even if the main character 1 had emerged as a crown princess instead of a crown prince, the miracle of the main character 2 becoming a saint would not have happened.

“Oh, no, no… I saw it wrong, huh. I’m sure that’s true.”

Over and over again, for hours on end, I would stare at the newspapers, go inside the house and watch the news about the Crown Princess’s official event or something.

I really kept denying it, but nothing that was set in stone changed just because I denied it.

“Because she is the crown princess, the main character 1 is a woman, and because she is a saint, the main character 2 is also a woman.”

It’s lesbian mode.

… Ah, shit. This is fucked up.
