“Have you ever kissed a stranger?”... more>>

“No.”

“Then, how about trying something new?”

His damp, sultry voice clung to her ears, rich with a confidence that suggested he already knew her answer. Jian locked eyes with him, her breath unsteady.

“Do it.”

Jian’s life had always been defined by meticulous plans, thorough preparation, and flawless execution. But on the day cracks first appeared in her perfect facade, she was overcome by a powerful, unfamiliar impulse. She couldn’t have known then that one fleeting moment of recklessness would create a perilous, intimate secret capable of unraveling everything she had built.

“Feel free to speak casually. After all, I’m just your ‘student.’”

Those two deliberately loaded words sent an icy chill coursing through her veins. His gaze, bold and unhurried, roamed over her flushed cheeks, reddened ears, and the delicate curve of her neck. The way he looked at her was more sensual, more intimate, than any touch she had ever known.

“Don’t waver because of me. The moment I sense even the slightest hesitation, I won’t let you go.”

“……”

“I don’t care, if meeting me means you lose everything. If our lives have to crash and burn for me to have you, then so be it.”

She felt exposed, as though every weakness had been laid bare before him, like prey ensnared in a trap. Heat surged through her, undeniable and consuming. His low voice was a dangerous murmur, as if it could brush against her pale neck.

“So, keep it concealed. Do your absolute best to hide it.” <<less

In order to return back to reality, she had to gather all of the powerful male protagonists one by one and defeat the Demon King.
The problem was that this s*upid game only had bad endings.

"Maybe this is my chance. An opportunity to change a game with only bad endings to a happy ending."

However, things got a little complicated.

“Move aside.”
“…….”
“I said move aside, Allen Iroas.”

The Demon King’s Castle was just a few steps away.
I had no doubt in my mind that I would finally be able to achieve a happy ending and return home this time if I defeated the Demon King, but…

“You’ve always been like this. Always forcing me to make difficult decisions.”
“What are you doing right now.”
“Maria Estelle, there’s only one thing I want.”
“Let go of me.”
“I just need you to stay by my side forever.”
“…….”

Forever.
As he said so, his eyes were full of determination to never let me go. <<less
