Chapter 10 “…Hmm.” Baron let out a quiet sigh and adjusted his monocle. Now that Ibi had left. Although he was puzzled by Hedius’s statement that she had not been trying to kidnap Leo, Ibi’s words were not entirely without merit. This was a world where even innocent children were mercilessly abandoned if they were deemed a burden to their families’ livelihoods. So how much worse must it have been for someone like Ibi? Moreover, judging by her refined appearance, she might…-

Chapter 9 “I don’t want to.” Ibi answered immediately with a carefree smile, as though she had not even considered the matter. Hedius's eyebrow twitched. “If you are worried that I haven't withdrawn my suspicions, then it no longer matters to me who you are or where you came from. But there is nothing to be gained by you staying here when you aren't even a bandit. As you know, this is also a village filled with people who make their living as bandits…” “But that's okay! Everyone…

Chapter 8 Tanto flinched. Even though Leo was only ten years old, the ominous aura that spread whenever he was displeased was every bit as intimidating as Hedius's. At times like this, Leo could feel downright frightening. Moreover, if Leo had happened to have his sword with him in the forest, he probably could have subdued the black leopard with ease. “Hey… The Chief only did all that for your sake, Leo. You're still just a little kid who doesn't know anything.” Tanto tried to reason…

Chapter 7 “Ah, well, it was something I already knew to some extent.” I already knew that intruders who deliberately entered the Black Forest, a place said to be possessed by demons and cursed, never survived. ‘That’s why it came to be called the Cursed Forest in the first place, and it was also why Leo was abandoned here—to be killed.’ Even though Tanto was merely telling me something I already knew, his words felt unusually sharp, like thorns. Was Tanto deliberately trying to…

Chapter 6 “So, if you let the Angel live, I’ll obediently go back to the village.” Although Leo had called her a crazy woman with his own mouth, he still stubbornly continued to address her as “Angel.” Given the circumstances, Leo wasn't exactly wrong. Throwing herself in front of a black leopard to save a complete stranger’s child despite the risk of being attacked wasn't the kind of courage an ordinary person possessed. And at a glance, that woman didn't look like someone who had…

Chapter 5 The moment I saw him, my mind went blank for a moment. Hedius had an emotionless, stern-looking face, but I couldn't help being deeply impressed by his strikingly handsome appearance. ‘Well, I've never seen a man this handsome or beautiful in the world I came from.’ If I were to praise his appearance for a moment… His pitch-black hair, as dark as the night sky, was neatly swept back and gleamed under the sunlight. His sharp nose and smooth facial contours looked like a work of…

Chapter 4 The Pandenion Empire, with its long history, firmly believed in a prophecy: “The second child born among twins to the Imperial Family will become the calamity that opens the Gates of Hell.” And in Imperial Year 341, that prophecy finally began to unfold. A tragic event occurred—the Empress gave birth to twins. The second child, believed to be the ominous being destined to open the Gates of Hell, was secretly abandoned in the cursed Black Forest immediately after birth. It was…

Chapter 3 I died. A Gate had exploded right beside me. There was no way I could have survived something like that. Besides, the explosion I had witnessed just before my death had been so enormous that there hadn't even been anywhere to run. And yet, I sniffed the air like a madwoman. It was because of the fragrant scent that had been drifting around me for some time, and the unfamiliar sensation of something soft and fluffy, like a cloud, enveloping my body. ‘Could it be… I’m not dead…

Chapter 2 The day I time-slipped into the distant past, into an empire I had never known, and possessed the body of an unfamiliar woman was truly the worst day of my life. “Please, please…” I clasped my hands together in the corner of the bar and prayed desperately. Only after swallowing hard did I press the button on the Inventory window with trembling fingers. The Inventory window floated in midair, and at the same time, my eyes began shaking wildly. “What the hell is this?” My…

Chapter 1 Prologue “Ebi, you have to hide really, really well!” “Not even a single strand of your hair can show!” Remembering the children’s adorable instructions, I quietly giggled as I gently closed the door to the library. “Hmm~ Where should I hide so they’ll never find me?” I looked around for a place to hide, and just then, someone came into view. ‘Isn’t that Hes?’ He was lying asleep beside the long mahogany table, several chairs pushed together beneath…
