Lowell slowly opened his eyes. ... more>>

The first thing he saw was someone’s broad chest.

Still groggy from sleep, he instinctively reached out, his hand grazing the firm surface.

Even in his hazy state, he couldn’t help but give it a few experimental squeezes before his gaze drifted up to the familiar black hair.

He gently stroked it, the way he would with a lover.

‘But there’s no way he’d have a chest like this. Besides, we’ve been broken up for ages.’

As his senses returned, Lowell glanced around, piecing together his surroundings.

Once his vision cleared, the situation began to make sense. <<less

[S-Class Skill, Life Flame is used. As a skill penalty, life force is reduced by 1 day.]... more>>

Woo-hyun, who doesn’t have much time left due to the skill penalty that reduces his life force, decides to hide this fact and quietly prepare for his end alone. However, as Woo-hyun tries to leave, Seo-heon, his longtime friend, changes his attitude affectionately, saying he will try to change Woo-hyun’s mind. Meanwhile, Lee-han, who has been like a younger brother to him, confesses his feelings. Regardless of Woo-hyun’s wavering emotions, his life force continues to decrease, and his physical condition worsens…

“I guess I’ve been neglecting you lately.” After thinking to himself for a while, Seo-heon came to an unexpected conclusion and stood up without hesitation.

“If you still want to leave in a month, you can do so.”

“What?”

“I can’t accept it right now.” A long shadow was cast.

“We’re not the kind of people who can be defined by just a piece of paper like this, are we?” Seo-heon tore up the resignation letter in front of my eyes. It was something I had spent quite a long time thinking about and writing, but he was still as willful as ever. Moreover, it was annoying how skillfully he mixed in words that would make me react sensitively. As he intended, my conscience was pricked and hurt.

“It’s not like we’ll never see each other again just because I leave the guild.” My once-confident voice faltered. Seo-heon’s words made my resolve weaken. Moreover, I felt ashamed because I had partially lied, intending to minimize the time I would spend with Seo-heon during my remaining days.

“Really?” Seo-heon asked sharply, as if he had read my mind. Seo-heon definitely doesn’t have any special mental skills. Even if he did, it shouldn’t be strong enough to break through my mental barrier level, so why does it feel like he’s reading me like an open book?

While I was at a loss for words, Seo-heon came to his own conclusion. “I guess I’ll have to try courting our dear Vice Guild Master to keep him around.” <<less

In the game, the protagonist’s brother and antagonist, Baek Woojin, dies a hundred times. On the day he witnessed the hundredth death, he received a notification.... more>>

[Baek Woojin has died 100 times. A hidden event is triggered! Will you accept?]

To think that a pay-to-win game would offer an event for free, one should have been suspicious. However, the foolish individual who clicked ‘Yes’ found themselves reincarnated as the villain, Baek Woojin.

Moreover, the quest received immediately after reincarnation was to reconcile with Baek Soohyuk, the brother who killed Baek Woojin. But wait, if failed, the penalty is death? In a desperate attempt to avoid this insane death flag, he hastily apologizes, only to find…

[Abnormal Condition Activated: Due to ‘Qualm,’ the statement has been modified and transmitted to the other party.]

“If you kneel and beg, there’s nothing that can’t happen.”

All that comes out of his mouth are venomous words, accumulating misunderstandings with Baek Soohyuk. To make matters worse, he unintentionally attracts the attention of the main villain, Kang Gwonhoo.

“Since what you’re doing is quite amusing, let’s do as you say.”

Is this what it feels like to have a shrimp in a whale fight?

Please, both of you, stop paying attention to me. I just want to live a peaceful life! <<less
