Shariette knew Eden's weaknesses. Having worked alongside him for so long at Argen, she knew exactly which seemingly insignificant things would grate on his nerves. "Oops, my mistake!" She'd 'accidentally' drop a scrap of paper onto his obsessively organized desk. "Is your head as empty as your hair?" Every sarcastic jab was met with a feigned obliviousness. "Did you touch my desk?!" "Maybe the wind blew it?" She'd shift items on his desk two or three…- 46.9 K • Ongoing
- “Yeah.” Shariette gave a vague nod. Strictly speaking, the capital wasn't the only 'first' for her. “I take it you've lived in Willowhill your whole life?” His words snapped Shariette back to her senses. What? Is he asking because he knows something? She carefully sidestepped the potential trap. Agreeing would be a disaster. The ‘White Raven’ of Maylily had been a resident of Willowhill for only two years. “Not my whole life, but the place I lived before was similar. Like a forest…

- “Alright, Shariette, let’s just say you've trained under me. All you need is a sponsorship from a qualified recommender and a training period of over five years to take the Royal Medical Association exam. They call it an exam, but with your skills, you could make anything with your eyes closed and still pass with flying colors.” “That’s all?” “That’s it! I don’t know who your former master was—no, that bum isn't worthy of the title—but he must have been a petty, despicable fool.…

A chill in Rodney’s demeanor caused the delinquent, unlike before, to shrink back and mumble, "S-sorry." Immediately after, as if they didn't want anyone to see their faces, the group he was with quickly lowered their heads and vanished from sight. Staring blankly at where they had been, I turned to Rodney and said, "Th-thank you." "Who are you?" Rodney, however, spoke as if he hadn't even noticed my existence, then turned and began walking toward the Academy. ...What am I supposed to…- 4.5 K • Ongoing
- As he said, I didn't have many memories of spending time with others. This was also due to my sickly body. Consequently, until now, I had only studied with my private tutor at home. "It's alright, I'm not scared. I've studied alone all this time, so I'm curious about Academy life. That's why I want to go." I didn't want to be stuck inside the house forever. Everyone worried about me constantly staying at home, and besides, I had to achieve the quest somehow. I gave Hamilton a bright smile to…

- Horrified, I stared open-mouthed, but Father shifted his gaze from me to Hamilton and said, "Hamilton, she is your sister, so look after Catherine well." "Father, I don't think this is right. It's too dangerous there." Hamilton shook his head. Good, you tell him! I chimed in, agreeing with him. "That's right, Father. What if I collapse at the Academy again?" "Exactly, what if she collapses again? Besides, there are many strange male students at the Academy. How can we send her to such a…

- Chapter 1 “I want to break the engagement.” My fiancé, Oswin Lyndon, spoke coolly. They were words I had never expected to hear from him, a man who had always been so keen on my family’s fortune. No, this can’t be happening! I was so shocked by his words that my jaw dropped. The memory of my agonizing decision late last night to finally participate in the game flashed through my mind. It worked this quickly? My eyes went wide as I stammered, “Wh-what did you…

- Prologue It was about three years ago that I suddenly realized I was an extra in a game. That was the day those strange status windows first appeared before my eyes. This world, it turned out, was a reverse harem game with the childishly cringey title, My Husband Hunt at Heart-Pounding Academy. And I, Catherine Haith, was the younger sister of one of the love interests. A harmonious family, an endless supply of money, and a rather lovely face. I was quite content with my lot…

Perhaps that was why. He found himself studying his new slave without realizing it. She changed her clothes. She was no longer in the strange attire she'd worn in the cage, but in the Dithyramb Kingdom style. Of course, even in different clothes, his slave still looked like a foreigner. Unlike the people here, whose skin was sun-kissed with a reddish hue, the slave's skin was pale. The very color of a stranger. Suddenly, Ignati’s eyes fell upon the cloth clutched in the slave's hand. He saw…- 7.1 K • Ongoing
- “Ugh, ghh…” Ignati whimpered ceaselessly, tormented by a pain that plagued him even in unconsciousness. If only I could use a healing skill on him, he’d feel better. Her rank may have dropped, but she could still use the skill itself. Of course, as an E-rank, she could hardly expect it to have its original effect. Still, it would draw attention. It was clear this young master of hers had been enduring the pain for a long time. So, what would happen if, as soon as she arrived, he was…
