There's a saying that because the United States had a very large territory, you will find yourself in a rural area after driving for an hour or two from any city.

Back when I was still actively running around as a hunter, I rarely had the opportunity to come to the United States because I mainly went to Africa, Europe and Asia.

However, thanks to one particular incident, I finally set my foot on the soil of the United States for the first time. That time, I came to the United States to join hunters from all over the world to stop the Great Rift that occurred in the City of Independence in Missouri.

No matter how hard I think about it, I still couldn't find the best way to explain that Great Rift even until now. Simply put, it was a divine punishment sent by God towards humans to punish their 'evil'.

I still remember it clearly, inside the Great Rift that seems to be the hell itself, a phenomenon that couldn't be understood by human common sense and science continued to occur.

Well, long story short, humanity succeeded in fighting against it and overcoming it.

However, the price humanity had to pay was a steep one. Hundreds of thousands of hunters lost their life. If you also included the civilian casualties, the number you would get was absurdly high.

At that time, numerous heroes died. Many promising talents withered away before they could even bloom. The reason why I was able to survive on such a terrible battlefield was….

It was purely because I was a F rank hunter.

Back then, there was no need for a 'strategic hunter' who could only hunt a single monster for hours. In other words, there was no room for ordinary people with rifles on the battlefield.

Obviously, I was placed in the rearmost of the formation and I was so lucky that I managed to survive.

….But, I lost 'Reina Ju' that day.

I still haven't forgotten.

As her body was sucked into the Great Rift, she stretched her hands towards me. She told me repeatedly 'It's okay now, you'll live and you'll survive.'

Even right before her death, she was still smiling.

"Have you ever been to America before?"

When the golden-haired man in the driver's seat of the Retona asked me, I jilted away from that past memory.

The golden-haired man's name is Michael.

He was the Director General of the International Supernatural Phenomenon Association.

Was this question only a simple chit chat? Or was he trying to dig some information from me?

"Yes. I came here 8 years ago."

Rattle!

The Jeep bounced off several times because of the rough terrain. If you drive an ordinary car here, you might feel nauseous because of the shaking.

"Was it on 'Independence Day'?"

"Yes."

The calamitous Great Rift that occurred in the City of Independence. People later referred to the incident as 'Independence Day'. It also was a reminder of the time when humans became completely independent from monsters and were reborn as the rulers of the Earth.

"That time was such a bad time, you probably don't have any good memories about the United States."

"It's okay, because sometimes, I have a reason to come to America."

I recalled Seol Jungyeon's face as I watched the scenery outside the window passing by. Then Michael asked me once again.

"Have you ever been to Kansas?"nov𝗲𝗅𝐮𝑠𝗯.𝓬\o/𝗆

"No I haven't."

"It was a romantic and relaxing city…"

Well…. I don't think so. Since,

"……But, not anymore."

The state of Kansas that I saw through the window seemed to have been completely destroyed for decades.

It was a desolate town. There was no sign of life in the city except for the cold-looking soldiers that I saw occasionally. The intermittent gunfire and cry of monsters sounded like a reminder that this place was still a battlefield.

Apart from that. The state of Kansas was truly unique.

"That…. Is that the 'supernatural phenomenon' you mentioned?"

"That's right. Till now we have been unable to determine the exact reason behind this."

I could see a building floating in the air.

"I think I'll need to inspect it closely in order to understand it."

As Michael and Yoo Seodam walked out from the vehicle, several American soldiers approached them and greeted them. Michael passed them and led me to the city.

"After the monsters appeared, most of the city in the central and southern regions were destroyed. In particular, Kansas had become an uninhabited city."

"Is that so."

Still, unlike China, who completely neglected their lost territory, the United States continued to send hunters in order to recover their lost territory. But their speed was quite slow. Most of the lost territory was inaccessible. They also had dungeon environments 'manifested' into reality. On top of it numerous monsters had laid their eggs in every corner of the land, rivers, mountains and forests.

"By the way….. That was a really unique phenomenon. As far as I know 'manifestation' simply changes the environment and doesn't affect anything else."

In the distance, I could see researchers in white protective suits wandering from one place to another. They were busy researching something with both the computers installed outdoors and supercomputers set up inside the barracks.

I can't blame them though, because I'm also curious about the surreal things that unfold in front of me. Building debris, the foundation of a building that has been cut off, reinforced bar, broken bridge, cars, signboard, and so on, were all floating in the air.

"At first, we thought that gravity itself had been reversed."

"If that really was the case, doesn't that mean we should also be floating in the air?"

"Yes. But there's no way to explain it otherwise. We couldn't detect any 'force', including magnetism and gravity, here. But, obviously, an unknown 'power' that we don't know is present here. That 'power' is something that keeps those things floating in the air."

It was wise of them to call a magician when facing something that couldn't be explained by science.

I put my glasses on with a nervous feeling.

"What is…."

"Ah. It's a device that can observe the essence of energy. With additional equipment, it could also detect the energy wavelength."

"Oh, what is the additional equipment…?"

"I'll show you soon."

The expression of the scientists who followed Michael brightened after hearing my remark. And then, I pulled an item from my inventory.

It was a stethoscope.

"….huh?"

"…..Is that it?"

I heard some questioning murmurs from the scientists behind me but I decided to ignore it. I simply walked towards the building that floated a few centimeters in the air and put the stethoscope on it.

With this device, it was possible to detect an essence of energy wavelengths in great detail. It was also possible to detect a complicated magic that could hardly be felt and show it in the most 'scientific' way. On top of it, the data itself should be perfect because the interpreter is none other than The Library of the White Witch!!

Unfortunately…

'…It's not magic.'

As expected, this phenomenon couldn't be explained by magic.

Magic wasn't something omnipotent that could make fire, or beam of light out of nowhere. Magic was just a discipline that identifies all sorts of phenomena and recreates it mathematically using magic formula.

"How is it?"

"I'm not sure….. I need to examine it a little bit long–huh?"

While I was talking, something passed in front of me.

That something slowly raised its head and looked at me.

Unless my eyes were deceiving me, those pointy ears, dark black hair, and a skin that a lot darker than night was…

'An Elf?'

I took a few steps back in surprise. Then I looked behind me because I felt that something was strange.

Just a few moments ago, the warmth of the summer was shining at me. But now, the sun has completely disappeared. I found myself in the middle of dark and sunless Kansas.

Is it really Kansas?

I could see a tentacle with mucus flowing down from its skin wrapping itself around a building and lifting it up. The main body of the tentacle was an octopus, but its head was that of a fly. The creature then, leisurely passed under the building.

And just a few distance away, a creature with a horsehead on the limbs of a rat and a cat torso shouted into the air.

A sense of disparity wrapped around my whole body.

This is not the Earth. No such environment existed on Earth.

As I slowly looked into the air, the secret of the floating structure was revealed.

Something made of sticky material was lifting and supporting the building, while the cars in the air were actually placed on a pile of garbage, and it turned out that the floating signboard was recycled as a signboard of some suspicious building.

However, the problem was that all of them were not visible until now..

'Just what…'

Seodam. It's a phenomenon called 'dimensional distortion'. This phenomenon happens when different dimensions collided into each other and created a distorted space.

'Dimensional distortion?'

Yes. dungeons, gates, and the Great Rifts that occur on earth are a phenomenon called 'dimensional collision'. And 'dimensional distortion' is similar to that, but different at the same time.

'···How is it different?'

I'll explain it easily for you. Dimensional collision is like when frozen coke and frozen cider collide.

Frozen coke and frozen cider only scratch each other even if they collide, they don't mix.

And the dimensional distortion is when melted cola and melted cider collide.

However, when melted coke and melted cider collide… The two are completely mixed up.

This is a dimension that is completely mixed with Earth. However… it is also space that's difficult for ordinary humans to detect.

It means that I could only see this place purely thanks to the system.

"Magician Yoo Seodam? Are you okay?"

As Director Michael spoke from the back, I was brought back from my stupor and turned my head towards him. He stood there clueless, he still didn't know anything. Even at this moment, a giant centipede was passing in front of their nose, and an elf with completely rotten skin was crawling across the floor, but they knew nothing.

You could say that, that dimension was a world on the opposite side of the mirror. However, they are usually separated and should not be able to see or feel each other… It seems that the two distorted realities are trying to merge into one.

'Why is this happening?'

While traveling across many dimensions, I have never seen this phenomenon before. Phenomenons like dungeons, gates, Great Rift, and reality distortion were unique only to Earth.

…because on Earth there's a 'dimensional trash bin' where debris from all dimensions gathered.

'Dimensional trash can?'

Yes, Seodam. That place is the place you call 'Hell Gate'.

'….What? So, Hell Gate is the cause of all this phenomenon on Earth?'

For now… You could say that.

Earth, a world where debris from all dimensions gathered.

Only then I was able to resolve one question I had in my head for so long.

It was about the existence of the 'silver spirit flower'.

Right after she was born, she was already aware of witches and Mugong.

It turns out she knows all of it not because she was special. But because she was born in a world where magic and martial arts existed. And probably, her original world had already perished.

'…What will happen in the future?'

It seems that there hasn't been a lot of distortions occurring on Earth after 'Hell Gate' appeared. Probably, this is the first time. Just like the dungeon situation, the alternate world will 'manifest' in Earth as time pass.

When the manifestation of the 'distorted world' happens, something that couldn't be compared to dungeon manifestation would happen. While the dungeon environment was a space where humans can adapt and live… It seemed that humans could hardly survive in the 'distorted world'.

What's even worse was that 'reality distortion' was literally a 'supernatural phenomenon' that cannot be coped with human scientific power. Thankfully, this phenomenon rarely occurred on the planet, but once it occurred, it would be a disaster.

'Wait a minute…hey.'

Yes?

'I could see it anyway, doesn't that mean I can interfere too?'

Yes, you are correct.

'Then, is there any way to destroy it?'

Probably…. The way exists. But, I'm not sure… Do you have any plan in mind?

'Nope.'

He had none.

But that's okay. It was a matter to think about later on anyway.

Right now, he had something more important to do.

"Director?"

"Yes. Please tell me."

I tried to look as serious as possible. Even more serious than the time when the rice cake soup restaurant was closed. (T/N man just how much did you love rice cake soup.)

"I guess I should tell you…. About how serious this phenomenon is."

"Is it really that serious?"

"Yes. But it would be okay. Because I'm a professional in this field."

"Do you have a plan that can resolve this situation?"

"Absolutely! I have the plans. So….."

I rubbed my fingers and said with a subtle expression.

"Hire me. I'll take care of everything."

I could protect the Earth, make some money, and spread my influence to the world's largest institutions.

It's not even two birds with one stone. It was three birds with one stone.

Hellony.

Since the time she debuted as a singer till she became an international superstar, she had never traveled to any country on her own will. Most of the time, she went to another country for a concert. Even when she went on a vacation, she moved as the company decided.

She had never tried to do anything by herself. Her reason was simple, it was because it was 'annoying'. It's annoying, she had no motivation and she didn't want to do anything.

Who would believe that the happiest time for a world star like her was when she stayed alone in a villa deep in the forest that didn't even catch anyone's attention?

Well, Hellony was famous for being a passive doll who did what others told her to, so maybe someone might believe it.

However, when it comes to dating, her passiveness disappeared. She had no interest in men whatsoever. Many famous stars had tried to pursue her, but she refused them every single time.

Because of her behavior, rumors about her being a lesbian were popular. But because she couldn't be bothered by it, she simply said 'Yes, that's right'. At her words, the world flipped once again.

Hellony couldn't understand at all about how things could go upside down so easily these days.

So, for the first time in a very long while, she decided to do something on her own. It was a vacation. Moreover, she flew to Korea, that too, on her own volition.

"Hey, isn't it bothersome to come here?"

"Nope, because it's been a long time."

"You look so bright too, today."

"Thanks to you."

"Don't say something like that. It's creepy."

Hellony, who came straight to meet Taylor Nine, smiled faintly at her liveliness. Then she lifted her head and looked at the scenery around the Floating garden.

"As the rumor said, it's a beautiful place."

"What rumor?"

"Well, people who had the chance to come here took pictures of this place and uploaded it on blogs and social media. The reaction is explosive right now, don't you know?"

"I don't."

Hellony smiled subtly. She looked at Taylor who seemed to be in a good mood. Even though they finally met after a long time, Taylor's eyes were glued on her smartphone.

"By any chance, are you watching that team you were supporting? The 19 consecutive loss team…."

"No it's not! They stopped at 18 consecutive losses! They also won this time! They're playing so damn good right now!"

Hellony burst into laughter as she saw Taylor's reaction. She was a really easy-to-understand woman.

'By the way, it's really a beautiful place.'

The bright Milky Way, which was hard to see on Earth, lit up the sky. Countless rays of light swirled in the air as if the starlight had settled on the ground. Meanwhile, the spirits who tended the beautiful flower garden, and the buildings that glowed in pure white, all of them added the mysterious vibe to this garden.

Of course, she didn't see the beautiful architecture and the greenhouse hidden right behind the flower garden.

After entering the building, Hellony visited Ha Sun-young first. In addition to Taylor and Yoo Seodam, Ha Sun-young was someone she felt grateful towards, because she was the one who helped her get rid of her 'stalker'.

"Ahhhhhh! Hellony!"

Naturally, the reaction was explosive. She had just returned from training and was resting in her break room. But as soon as she saw Hellony, she rushed towards her and started blabbering.

"Look here! I bought the same pale purple shirt and leggings as Hellony!"

"Wow…"

"Now, this! It's a brand launched under Hellony's name!"

"…Wow."

Hellony clearly doesn't remember. She felt she had filmed such an advertisement before… or maybe not. So she decides to just trust Ha Sun-young who always covered her whole body with Hellony-related items.

"And this one, this hairpin! Hellony advertised it so I bought it! Ah.. My panties…"

"Please calm down Master…."

It was Ye Sa-hye who stopped Ha Sun-young from lowering her pants by poking her back. She put on her glasses and let out a sigh. Ha Sun-young was one of the 60 SS rank superhuman in the world, and she would soon become a sect leader, only twenty Murim people were sect leaders.

Most of the SS rank superhumans had a classy vibe unique to them, Ye Sa-hye wondered why this spoiled lady had no such thing at all.

Taylor walked straight towards the room without caring whatever they did. She sat on the middle sofa with her eyes still glued to her smartphone. Right after she sat, a little white-haired woman shouted at her in embarrassment.

"Miss Taylor. That is where the guests sit."

But her scream only met deaf ears. So, Yekaterina guided Hellony to the seat right next to her.

Somehow, after seeing the four hectic women, an idea suddenly came to Hellony's mind.

Taylor and her straightforward personality.

Ha Sun-young who was energetic.

Ye Sa-hye who was somehow intelligent.

Yekaterina, who looks child-like, but is the one who is the most mature of them all.

Even if all of them were thrown into the entertainment industry, they would be beautiful women who could not be beaten easily.

"Perhaps…."

"Please tell me."

"…Do you have any thoughts about making a 5-member girl group?"

Tuk!

The atmosphere quickly becomes cold. Taylor had a look of disdain, Ye Sa-hye only smiled, Ha Sun-young shook her head, and Yekaterina belatedly understood the meaning of her words and laughed awkwardly.

"You kept your head in a safe place at home, right?"

"What kind of…… At this age, I'll be fine as long as Changje doesn't make fun of me." (T/N well, for those who forgot who Changje is, he's the phoenix emperor.)

"I haven't even sung a song before."

"Woohoo, that would be fun. But sadly, I have a job to do."

It was certainly a good combination.

However, their reactions were so cold. Hellony herself who suggested the idea become completely embarrassed.

Yekaterina put a cup of tea in front of Hellony and said.

"By the way, you came here when Yoo Seodam hunter-nim wasn't here."

"Oh, that is…. Ugh…"

Hellony owed Yoo Seodam because of the previous accident. Even when the hint was given by Ha Sun-young, in the end, Yoo Seodam was the one who executed the plan to catch her stalker. So, she had to thank him personally. She needed to thank him personally but at the same time she was afraid of meeting him again after what had happened between them.

"That…. a bit….."

Yekaterina was taken aback because of the mumbling Hellony. Since she was a global star, Yekaterina thought she would be a little more active, friendly and full of talent, however, she was much more timid than Yekaterina thought.

"Because of the mistake I made in the past…."

"Mistake?"

"That……"

Hellony suddenly recalled the past.

'I can't do it anymore. Please leave me alone, please. I… really…"

'Hellony. If we get out of here, we'll be safe. With your ability, we could overcome it. Just follow me from behind. I'll do the rest on my own.'

'Shut up! How could you know my feelings when you yourself don't have a superpower?'

'…..'

At that time, Hellony was out of her mind. It was the first and the last time that she, who had never been angry with anyone before, shouted at someone. She also hurled numerous insults towards Yoo Seodam. On top of it, she made him remember his most painful trauma.

But, forget being angry, Yoo Seodam smiled towards her as if he understood everything, and said.

'So that was your concern….'

Afterwards, Yoo Seodam forced Hellony to break through the battlefield. It was a place surrounded by hundreds of monsters. The only thing Yoo Seodam could do without superpower was run away as secretly as possible by relying on his eyes and ears.

Perhaps, if only Hellony could properly use her ability at that time… Things might have been a little easier. However, after seeing blood, Hellony fell into a state of panic, and she had no control over her own superpower. Her detection ability, which required a meticulous control of her ultrasonic ability, was rendered useless.

But in such a terrible situation, who would believe that an F rank hunter, who was mocked by everyone because he didn't have any superpower, was able to lead other superhumans?

"…..After that day, I retired from Hunter industry."

"Ah……"

And, she had never met Yoo Seodam after that. No, to be precise, she couldn't.

She felt guilty of what she did to him. She slept in guilt every night. For a few years after that day, the words she said to Yoo Seodam haunted her in her dreams over and over again. In her dreams, she hurled insult after insult towards Yoo Seodam just like what she did on that day.

It was such a terrible memory, no matter how much she shouted 'shut up' her figure in the dream wouldn't stop. It was as if it was trying to remind her she couldn't take back things she'd said.

"Stupid bitch. I told you Yoo Seodam didn't even care about things like that."

"……"

Taylor said as she still watched a baseball game on her smartphone.

"But still, I will apologize properly."

Without wrapping up the past accident, she once again owed a great debt to Yoo Seodam. She really couldn't brush it off this time.

"Oh, and I bought a present. Would you like to see it?"

"Oh, Hellony's gift! I will designate it as a heirloom of the Sunyoung sect, I will only pass it to my immediate disciple."

"Please don't do that, Master……."

Hellony knew in advance that there were 4 women and 50 masters staying in the hideout of Another League. Hellony carefully handed them their gift, then lastly, she carefully handed Yoo Seodam's gift to Yekaterina.

"Please give it to him when he's back. It's a simple cosmetic and food."

"Understood. I will deliver it properly."

Yekaterina smiled and took her gift, and she asked with a subtle face.

"By the way, I have a question."

"What is it?"

"…What kind of person was Seodam-nim in the past?"

"Hmm?"

Even though she wanted to ask why she asked such a question, Hellony felt something after looking at Yekaterina's expression. So, Hellony stroked her chin, she carefully recalled her old memories. The best memories she had with him.

'Got it? If we do it this way, we can unconditionally get 100% of the share.'

'If you hit him just a little bit to the left there, his stake will be increased to over a half, so he could claim ownership of the crystal.'

'Why are we using my bullets? Look, if I throw this over there, Team B should take care of it. But they can't come this far. Do you know what that means? That's all ours, this is what I mean!'

Good memories… right?

Hellony smiled awkwardly before replying.

"Yoo Seodam has always been a type of man who, when he has a chance, will take it all the way to the end and get as much profit as he can out of it."

The world looked totally different depending on whether I put the glasses on or off.

It's not just a figure of speech, it really looks different. Even ordinary people who couldn't originally see it, would be able to see the 'alternate world' to some extent by wearing these sunglasses.

At my signal, 7 Murim people who stood side by side wore sunglasses.

All of them, including Seol Jungyeon, were those who were referred to as the 20 Masters of Murim.

"It's amazing! I can see a different worl–heuuuuuukkkkkkk"

One of the masters who had clenched their fists and shouted loudly suddenly vomited. It was only natural. No matter how much you could observe the world, suddenly looking at another dimension would cause a big side effect. The only person who was fine was Seol Jungyeon.

"That's incredible. They are really people of Murim…."

Director Michael exclaimed when he saw how Murim people only get motion sickness after wearing the sunglasses.

I poured my magic and lifeforce into these specially made sunglasses that could be worn by anyone to see the 'Distorted world', but the downside was that if just anyone wore them, their head would spin and fall.

I warned Michael that these sunglasses could lead normal people to their death if they aren't strong enough. So he called S rank hunters and asked them to try it on, but the result was disastrous. Every single one of them passed out within seconds.

However, Murim people were different from ordinary hunters. They already experienced dimensional movement before, and since some of Murim people who came here were those who referred to as Hwakyung (SS rank), which belongs to the strongest sect, they only experienced slight motion sickness.

Seol Jungyeon said while taking her sunglasses off.

"So, what should we do now?"

When she said a word, the eyes of all the American soldiers focused towards her. Some even approached for autographs and were dragged away by the executives, but she was quite deadly, to the point that the morale of the soldiers was disturbed.

"It's simple. Can you see that portal that leads into the 'distorted world'?"

There were one or two distorted spaces in the air as I looked through the sunglasses. They were really very small, at most there were bean sizes. But what if bugs or birds approached it the moment that portal grew? They would be sucked into it.

Perhaps the missing hunters around the area where this phenomenon occurred were also sucked into the distorted dimensional gap.

"We will walk directly into that gap and smash either the 'boss' or the 'core' and come out."

Some dungeons could only be cleared when the boss monster was killed, while other dungeons could only be cleared when the core which was the energy source of the dungeon gets destroyed. And then there were also dungeons that could only be cleared when all monsters inside of it were killed.

Whatever the clearing conditions were, if the source of energy itself was destroyed, the dimension would also be destroyed.

It shouldn't be different for dimensions that connected to earth as the result of numerous dimensions colliding together.

Director Michael finally listened to me and nodded his head as if convinced.

"Certainly, You are the only one who can solve this phenomenon… Therefore, I will allow the formation of the 'Special Supernatural Phenomenon Response Team'."

This work was one thing that could only be done by me and the people of Murim. And it was also recognized by the International Supernatural Phenomenon Association, so there was nothing to worry about.

"Let's go. Let's beat all the aliens who are staying illegally in the rooftop room without paying rent."

The environment inside the Mirror World was something that humans couldn't live in.

It was a bloody place. The sky was painted violent red, mist obscured their vision wherever they looked at, and there was a pit of blood that couldn't be identified whether it belonged to a corpse or a living creature, wriggling in all directions.

It was a place that reminded Yoo Seodam of Hell Gate. Because of this he wasn't comfortable staying in that place.

While Yoo Seodam had to rely on a mask to be able to stand on this place, the masters of Murim didn't even need it. They only frowned a little in front of the discomfort they felt. Indeed, they are truly SS ranks. Unlike A rank superhumans which were still in the boundary of normal humans, SS rank superhumans were something entirely different because they had already exceeded human limitation twice.

This was a very unpleasant space. The expressions of the Masters were stiff. It was as if they couldn't believe what they saw right now.

Everything that walked on this space was an existence that had already lost their mind. The only thing left inside them was their primal instinct.

'Something to eat.'

'Something new has come.'

'Are they weaker than me?'

'I do not know.'

'I'll know once I take care of it.'

For all bizarre creatures with a mismatched body that lived in this world, they always had 'food' shortage, and the appearance of Yoo Seodam and the masters could be a very good meal for them.

In exchange for passing through an imperfect dimensional passage, their bodies were mixed with each other.

Whether it was a worm standing on human feet, or an elf's head on an animal's torso, they were once an ordinary species.

"……Let's get started."

The operation proceeded quickly.

While crossing through the unstable dimensional passage, all weak creatures from each and every original dimension perished. Only those who were strong enough survived…. But no matter how strong they were, in the end they were nothing but mindless beasts. On top of it, they were already exhausted and dying, they couldn't help but get swept by the masters of Murim.

"I'm sorry."

While other masters looked at them with disgust, Master from Hwangyeong sect who had not only transcended the physical realms of human power, but he had also transcended the human aesthetics of beauty. His sense of beauty went beyond what humans perceived, and because of this, he was not fazed by the grotesque appearance of these alien creatures. Instead, he looked at them with eyes filled with pity because they had no choice but to live like this because of their circumstances.

"You still have to kill it."

"I know….."

After reminding her fellow master, Seol Jungyeon pulled out a pure white sword and stepped forward. Then, her dance began.

Even in this terrible hellish environment, Seol Jungyeon's sword dance was still beautiful. The ugliness of this world was completely suppressed by her beauty. Whoever saw it might mistake this place as heaven for a moment.

As she swung the sword down, she reaped the lives of the alien creatures without causing them any pain. She also cut off the portals that affected Earth. Probably by now, the supernatural phenomenon on Earth was gradually disappearing.

Kuooh…!!

As the creatures of this world slowly died one by one, the world itself began to wriggle. Yes, this world was also a living creature.

Moments later, 'something' rose from the ground. It was something incomprehensible to the naked eye. From its head, which resembles the head of a wolf, octopus tentacles slithered towards all directions. It also had 6 arms which have 6 fingers each. It was a very strange creature, even stranger than any other creatures in this world.

It was something that had already lost its essence of life and was just waiting for the day it would perish.

Even the Hwangyeong sect master couldn't see that thing with his naked eye. It had a very disgusting and trauma-inducing appearance.

Yoo Seodam originally thought that he would be able to withstand its appearance because he had been in so many dimensional travel, however, he was wrong.

Even though he is indeed a dimensional traveler, he was still only an A rank superhuman. He was still insignificant and weak.

However, there was only one person here who could withstand its appearance. It was Seol Jungyeon.nov𝗲𝗅𝑈𝗌𝔟dot𝑪/o\𝔪

"Poor child."

Seol Jungyeon said as she stared at the creature. How long have you been suffering here? How much pain did you have to endure every day after losing your hometown? How can you still live even after accepting such despair?

That side of Seol Jungyeon was something that Yoo Seodam really liked.

She always said,

'I am a person who has no skill other than swinging a sword.'

She couldn't embrace other people warmly, she couldn't free other people from the ban, she also didn't have the verbal skills to make other people happy. So she always tried her best when people needed her for her swordsmanship.

"You can stop now. I'll send you off."

At the request of Yoo Seodam, 'supernatural phenomenon' quickly became front-page articles. And the reason he requested was because 'civilians need to report supernatural phenomenons that we missed, so we can respond quickly.'

And thanks to that article, the 'Special Supernatural Phenomenon Response Team' which includes the Murim people, also became a hot topic.

If one day something suddenly happens, like a sighting of a ghost, or an unscientific phenomenon where you could hear a voice from the empty air, then immediately contact the 'Special Team'! The Murim people will run to solve it!

In the middle of the article, instead of Yoo Seodam's face, Seol Jungyeon's face was grandly displayed. It's sad, but it can't be helped because her face was much more influential than any words.

In the future, supernatural phenomenon will occur more frequently.

…..Probably, until Hell Gate disappears. The frequency of supernatural phenomenon will also increase, and after 10 to 20 years, it may become a common occurrence like dungeons or gates.

Until then, the monopoly of solving supernatural phenomena fell into the hands of Another League and New Murim League.

In addition, various foreign substances obtained from the Mirror World were a valuable commodity for science, It was traded at great prices, so, both Another League and New Murim League were able to earn a lot of money in an instant.

-The image of Murim people is increasing day by day. That's good news.

Shin Hye-ji's voice could be heard from the tablet. It was a simple function called video call, but it was a very strange technology for Seol Jungyeon.

Seol Jungyeon was aware that people were still on the edge because of the New Murim League. It was because an independent group consisting of 3,000 superhumans was no different from a time bomb. On top of that, they also had 20 SS rank superhuman and an SSS rank leader.

It is understandable that the world, including the President of the United States, were keeping them in check.

However, how could Murim people live after hearing such crap such as 'People of Murim now belong to the International Association and they must assign all of its armed forces to the state.'

Honestly, even if Seol Jungyeon started a legal fight, the one who will be at the disadvantage was themselves. So, while avoiding people who keep them in check as much as possible, New Murim League had to somehow raise their status and imprint their strong image on people's mind so that they could become completely independent.

There was a real precedent similar to that.

'…Of course, it's not good to imitate those guys.'

Most of the superhuman groups which were internationally recognized as independent organizations were terrorist groups, so the Murim League had to avoid that image.

-By the way, how's your condition Master?

"Of course, I'm fine."

Right now, Seol Jungyeon was floating in a swimming pool located in a five-star hotel in Los Angeles. It was specially reserved for her, so no one else was there. From the swimming pool, she could enjoy the sight of thousands of city lights on the ground. Los Angeles' night view was truly beautiful.

-Hmmmmmm. Is that so?

"…Why?"

Seol Jungyeon tilted her head as she looked at Shin Hye-ji who was smiling mysteriously.

-You still have an anxious expression…. Are you waiting for Yoo Seodam Hunter-nim again?

"……"

Seol Jungyeon could only smile bitterly at Shin Hye-ji's question.

-To think, someone as wonderful as Master could be swung around by a man…

"I can't help it. He is such an attractive man."

-Ahhh! Master, how could you say something like that!

"Huhu, you'll know when you fall in love too."

Shin Hye-ji shook her head helplessly. She was aware that even now Yoo Seodam was running around talking with high-ranking people from numerous International Associations for the sake of Murim people.

Originally, Seol Jungyeon told him that she would go with him, but Yoo Seodam refused it by saying 'If the master herself comes, it may have a negative effect.'

-Still…. Aren't you tired of waiting all the time? You don't have much time to be together.

Shin Hye-ji knew Seol Jungyeon well because she always followed her everywhere. And every day, Seol Jungyeon was always looking at a smartphone she is not familiar with, and waited for Yoo Seodam's call.

"…Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I whine while he's running around for my sake?"

Seol Jungyeon certainly wanted to be with him, she wanted to be intimate with him, gazes into his eyes, and know a little more about him, but she knows that she can't.

"I am okay."

Waiting was something she's familiar with. Rather than being trapped in a snowy mountain and hoping for rescue that might or might not come, she could wait for him no matter how long she had to. Because she was much happier and had a more valuable life now.

-You can't be like that master!

"…Why are you shouting?"

-You have to be a little more active, master. Like… You know…At night….

"We already did it. It was a very sweet night."

-What? Whaaattttt?

Then, Shin Hye-ji, who was proudly giving advice a moment ago to Seol Jungyeon, became redder and redder.

-Re, really?

Well, even though she was the one who seduced Yoo Seodam at first, the role quickly reversed because she was inexperienced in that kind of thing.

She smiled faintly without answering Shin Hye-ji's question as she recalled the memory of the very affectionate night she shared with Yoo Seodam. Her train of memory only stopped because Shin Hye-ji was once again giving advice.

-Then… What about using your mouth?

"Huh? Of course I did-"

-No no no! Not that! I mean conversation!

"…Conversation."

Yoo Seodam's life was filled with ups and downs. He always had something new to tell her every time they met. So there was never a single moment of boredom when she's with him.

But, the stories he told her were all about the incidents that occured in the past, he never said a word about how he was living now.

That man had a lot of secrets.

There were times when he disappeared. He put up a notice that he was 'dispatched' and couldn't be contacted. Also, even though he wasn't someone from Murim, he knew about Mugong well. He even mastered the unknown discipline called Magic, and possessed knowledge about dimensions.

Just what is his identity? What did he do when he disappeared?

And, did he know about her story?

Whenever they met, Seol Jungyeon was always the only one who asked him about his life. She had never talked about her own life.

There was still a lot of distance between them.

"Hmmm……."

Seol Jungyeon put her hands on her chin. She was still floating in the pool. After pondering for a moment, she opened her mouth.

"…That's a good idea."

"…..I'm tired."

Upon returning to the hotel, I walked towards my room with staggering steps. Thanks to Director Michael, I was able to use a five-star hotel for free. However, I didn't have any chance to properly enjoy the facility this hotel had.

I was so busy explaining about 'supernatural phenomenon' to high-ranking people that I did not have any chance to enjoy the amenities provided by the hotel.

It is already 2 a.m. Will they deliver it to me if I make an order now? It's a 5-star hotel, so they will, right? I can't just have my food delivered from another restaurant at this kind of hotel.

Seodam. Can I ask you to take your next mission now?

'Ah… yeah, there's that too.'

It is not on the verge of destruction, but there is one world that can be considered in crisis.

'Where is it?'

I took off my suit and socks, put it in the corner, and headed to the bed while listening to the system's message.

It's the world『The Romance of The Black-Haired Saintess』.

However, I couldn't answer the system's words.

"Huh..?"

"You're very late."

It was because someone is sitting on the seat by the window where the night view of the city was beautifully lit up. With platinum hair and light pink eyes that resemble a sunset on a snowy mountain, she beckoned to me while sipping on a red wine. She was only wearing a thin nightgown.

"Come here."

I couldn't refuse. As I got closer to her, I could see her cheeks were already blushing, as if she had gotten slightly tipsy. She could have blown it out with her power, but she must have her reason for not doing so.

"Well, that…. Clothes…"

She was wearing an extremely thin nightgown that I couldn't look at. When I looked away from her, she smiled.

"I just want to have a conversation today, so sit down."

As I sat down, she took out a glass she had prepared and poured red wine in it. Was it something she learned from someone? Her hand gestures were quite clumsy, but she had the basic etiquette to handle wine.

Somehow laughter bubbled out from my mouth when I thought of her studying by calling a sommelier for this moment.

Very soon, Seol Jungyeon raised her glass. The moon light and city lights reflected against the glass. At that moment, it occurred to me, that no matter how many times I saw her smile, I would not get tired of looking at it.

Two wine glasses bumped against each other. That night she and I shared many secrets.

Early in the morning, I woke up as the warm morning sun tickled my face. Even though I rarely felt that waking up this way was the best way to be woken up, at this moment, I found it to be quite refreshing.

Anyone would agree with me if the first thing they saw right after waking up was Seol Jungyeon's face.

She was sleeping peacefully in my embrace. Her arms were wrapped around my neck in case I ran away.

We had a long talk last night. I revealed that I was actually a dimensional traveler, and even now, I was still doing it. She also told me about her tragic childhood. It was such a simple story, she told me about the time she ate bread for the first time when she was a few years old, and she was so happy about it. Or a day when she was so sad because she was starving on a cold snowy day. However, despite sharing such trivial stories, Seol was happy.

Basically, her life was full of loneliness. She even told me that she was very lonely last night. So after hearing her story, I couldn't bring myself to wake her up.

I had no choice but to lie down and spend some time looking at her face.

It wasn't boring. She looked different with every change in the way the sunlight hit her face. Every moment, her charm seemed to change. I could say that she had a 'thousand faces'.

Seodam. Good morning.

'Oh yeah. Sorry. I was busy last night.'

Yes. It seems so.

Somehow, the system's voice seemed to be slightly on the edge. Was it because I did something else instead of listening to her request? Now I feel guilty.

Would you like to proceed with the quest?

'Is it that urgent?'

As time passes, the hunting success rate will decrease exponentially. It looks like a big incident has happened.

According to her words, something seems to have happened in the world of 『The Romance of The Black-Haired Saintess』. But to be honest, except for the fact that it was a world with a 'romantic fantasy' genre, I don't know anything else.

I haven't been to a world with the 'romance fantasy' genre yet, and I hoped that there wouldn't be more of these in the future. I haven't been able to study the genre at all, so the basic difficulty itself would be quite high.

Anyway, I would have to do a lot of preparation.

But.

I slowly lowered my gaze. Seol was still asleep without any intention of waking up. I, too, couldn't wake her up.

Just a little bit more, until she wakes up.

'Let's take a break for a while.'

"Let's do the briefing. Give me the summary."

『Romance of The Black-Haired Saintess』

#Romance fantasy #Reverse harem

#Innocent female lead #Clever female lead

#The strongest male lead #Obsessed emperor male lead

#Magician male lead #Pope male lead

Summary

I reincarnated into the world inside the novel 'The Evil Girl Who Turns Back Time' that I normally read.

I become the saintess who begs for love from the male leads, gets abandoned, acts selfishly, and finally dies miserably!

Oh my God! Now that I can live once more, I can't die again.

I will surely live a normal life without being noticed by the male leads!

"Bianca, your eyes are prettier today."

"Where are you going? Why are you keep avoiding me?"

"I picked it up on the way. Have it."

"Are you having a hard time? Tell me everything."

But why did these guys keep obsessing over me?!

On my way back to the guild hideout, I sighed while receiving the plot from the system. The road ahead is bleak. To be honest, I haven't read any romance fantasy genre books till now. And I could not think of a way to hunt the protagonist after reading the summary.

In order to hunt the protagonist, I absolutely need to know the 'probability', however, I don't even know what kind of 'probability' would be given to a protagonist from a romance fantasy genre.

"…If I go ahead and do some research, I will find something, right?"

Wouldn't it be so?

It was a hard request from the start.

I put enchanted bullets, enchanted explosives and the newly obtained firearm 'Winchester 777' in the inventory.

The accessories I obtained from the previous world were already given out to people.

I gave a pair of earrings embedded with a pale pink jewel to Seol Jungyeon, a gold jeweled necklace to Taylor, and large pearl earrings to Yekaterina.

I had roughly finished all the things I needed to do here. Yekaterina's spirit was also fully charged at 100%, and there was nothing in the guild that needed my permission right now.

"Let's go."

[Moving to Altar Empire, the world where the level 99(165171158161) protagonist resides.]

[10…9…8….]

With the feeling of being sucked into somewhere, the world turned upside down.

[2…1…0]

[Dimensional travel is completed.]

[You have become the guardian knight of 'Princess Sahar Serenity.']

Kurreung, Kwakwang!!

The place I arrived at was a very old mansion. Some walls had collapsed while vines enveloped the rest of the walls, it wouldn't be surprising if a ghost appeared here.

There were also neglected and dusty antique portraits hung on the walls, was it a trace of its former glory?

At the end, there was a portrait of a woman with purple eyes, and long silver hair, who was smiling faintly.

[The Goddess of Time and Season, Kader.]

"Where is this……"

The floor creaked as I stepped on it.

Rumblleeee!!

I could hear the sound of thunder and storm from outside, the rattling of the windows was eerie.

"What the hell…. Where is the protagonist?"

Originally, we should have arrived near the protagonist… However, right now, we can't.

"Why?"

Because the hunting success rate is so small… And coming this way could increase the success rate of the protagonist hunting.

The moment I finished hearing the system's words, I could hear a sobbing voice coming from somewhere. I carefully moved towards the sound, behind the broken door, a woman with long silver hair was looking out of the window while hugging her knees.

Kwarreung…!!

And when thunder struck again, her figure lit up brightly. Perhaps, because she heard my footsteps, she slowly turned her head and looked at me.

[Villain 'Female Protagonist Sahar Serenity']

"Huh..?"

The phrase floating above her head was confusing me. 'Villain' was clearly written there. But at the same time, 'female protagonist' was also written there.

'Is it because this world is originally inside a novel?'

The protagonist inside the book was a fake protagonist in the end, and the person who transported into the book was the 'real protagonist'. That means, the woman in front of me wasn't the one I had to kill.

"…Are you my escort knight this time?"

Deep dark circles were visible under her breathtakingly beautiful purple eyes. But such an appearance did not impress me. Because her eyes were already losing their light.… somehow my heart felt uncomfortable when looking at her.

"Why didn't you answer me? Say your name!"

First of all, I decided to stick to the role I was given.

"Yes. I am your escort knight, Yoo Seodam. Please take care of me, Princess."

"Haha! Yes, I am looking forward to seeing how long you will last."

She said with a self mocking smile.

"You'll find out that working under me is harder than you think. Oh mister guardian knight."

Wooossh!

Storm was still pouring out of the window.

Aracelli Reinkal was a dimensional wanderer. She could penetrate and travel between dimensions. However, even for her, finding a specific location was still impossible.

It's still impossible for her to set the destination to the place she wanted… but at least it's possible to go to the place where the person she holds dear the most was located.

As soon as she realized that her professor had moved again, Aracelli prepared immediately.

'I have enough Mana!'

She had spent several months refraining herself from using magic as much as she could, while gathering enough Mana for dimensional travel.

"Suh-eup…."

Whoo woong…!!

The wind blew, and her hair fluttered in all directions. The gap between time and space gradually diverged, creating a new 'path' that was only visible to her. Eventually, Aracelli reached out towards the gap and twisted it and a 'door' was created.

It may be more correct to describe it as a torn newspaper, a part of a broken mug, or a broken cookie rather than a door. It was that incomplete.

By the way, how much risk one had to take to travel using an incomplete path?

The world distorted, even the space and time were collapsing, everything that Aracelli had was destroyed, except for one thing. It was the professor's silver bullet.

'Eugh, ugh ugh!'

It was like running on a bridge made of dozens of stars. But the important thing was that the stars weren't as kind as humans thought.

Every time Aracelli took a step in all of those spaces, an unbearable pain penetrated through the soles of her feet. Her skin was also torn apart.

But, that's not the only thing that bothers her.

'The Fragment of Time!'

The fragment of time stretched its influence towards her. Like gravity that pulls everything, it kept trying to take Aracelli's time away.

She was originally an adult, however, thanks to the Fragment of Time, she aged in reverse.

If fragments of time took all of her time here, her existence itself would be extinguished.

But, fortunately, the 'exit' was clearly visible before Aracelli's eyes.

'Uaaaaaahhhhhhhhh'

She tried her best.

Swoowook!

Before long, the dark space was lit up once again.

"······Kuhh!"

Her head struck a pure white marble floor. It was always like this every time. When traveling between dimensions, she couldn't control her own speed. And each time she entered a new world, she always came out headfirst. She really thought of creating magic to protect her head.

"Oh, huh…."

Aracelli slowly raised her body with her hand still wrapped on her head. She belatedly realized that a dozen pairs of eyes were looking at her.

"Uhhhh?"

They were women in pure white and blue uniforms.nov𝐄𝐥𝗎𝕊𝒷\𝒸\o\𝐌

When they saw Aracelli who looked embarrassed, they hurriedly approached her and put a white dress on her undressed body.

"Where did you come from?"

"Is your head okay?"

"Oh my God. Where did she come from…?"

Aracelli hurriedly checked her body age as she wore the clothes around her body. She guessed her current age was around seventeen to eighteen years old. It was fortunate that she wasn't very young.

'What about the professor? Ugh! My head….'

She sensed that there was a slight deviation on her travel. She fell differently from the professor and at a different time to boot.

'Is this… a temple?'

She found herself in a place where pure white pillars were supporting the flat ceiling, and round patterns were densely engraved on the floor.

After coming across so many civilizations, Aracelli could now roughly guess what kind of culture and civilization they had here by simply looking at them.

Eventually, her eyes turned to the place where a mysterious statue of the goddess was erected. In that statue, something foreign was written on it. Normally, she would not be able to read it. But, she was a ninth-circle wizard as well as a traveler who had wandered through many dimensions.

[Aracelli uses the skill 'Language Barrier(SS)'.]

After focusing for a while, the once foreign symbol was interpreted.

'The Goddess of Time and Season, Kader?'

It was somewhat a disturbing and suspicious name. The goddess had two words related to 'time' in her title.

As Aracelli stared at the statue blankly, someone walked in from the front of the temple.

"Saintess-nim is here!"

In front of 10 attendants, Aracelli could see a very beautiful woman. She had a black hair and black eyes. She walked towards her way with a pure smile.

Then, the priestess near Aracelli began to murmur.

'Chet. Nosy.'

'She became a saintess just because she was lucky…'

'She will probably tell us to throw this little girl out as well.'

However, when the older priests glanced at the younger priests, their murmurs also faded.

"Saintess-nim. I'm sorry, but suddenly this child appeared… I will take her out right away."

Rather than being seen by a Saintess with a dirty personality, it would be better to throw her right away.

But.

Something strange happened.

Wasn't the saintess suddenly showing a benevolent smile?

"No. It's okay. If it's a child who came to the temple, you can accept them."

"Is that so?"

"Absolutely. She looks like a child who has nowhere to go, can I take a look?"

"Ah. Yes…"

Then, suddenly. Aracelli realized that something was wrong with this situation.

'Oh my God, her personality has changed.'

'She suddenly became nice?'

'She became a really different person.'

The image of the saintess was completely flipped even when she didn't do anything? At the absurd sight that unfold before her, Aracelli was struck dumb. Regardless of her own emotions, the saintess still came towards her and slowly looked at her face.

'Huh, was there a child like this in the [original]? Well, it doesn't matter.'

Then she smiled and stretched out her hand.

"Good to see you. My name is Bianca."

At that moment, Aracelli frowned as she felt an unpleasant sensation creeping into her head.

[The protagonist, Bianca, uses passive skill 'Charm monopoly(SSS)'.]

'Ugh, what is this?'

It was an unpleasant and unknown sensation. It was as if the sensation was trying to manipulate Aracelli's mind to like her.

[Aracelli resisted the 'Charm Monopoly (SSS)' skill with 'Eyes of the Sage (SSS)' skill.]

However, it had no effect on the Archmage.

When Bianca frowned as she felt something was strange, Aracelli grabs Bianca's outstretched hand and move it up and down as hard as she could.

"I'm Aracelli. Please take good care of me!"

Princess Sahar Serenity was not exactly a princess, but a Duchess. However, she was currently being exiled from the succession rights and could be stripped from her peerage.

Two days since Yoo Seodam arrived in this world, he had been freely walking around the residence of Duchess Serenity. The mansion, which only consisted of few guards, attendants and maids, was very desolate and was pretty much close to being abandoned.

Maybe it was natural. Because everyone who worked in the mansion were under the orders of the Emperor to monitor the 'princess who lost all of her power'.

That's right. Princess Sahar Serenity was hated by the emperor.

"Even though I still love you, Your Majesty the Emperor."

Sahar laughed wryly. The pale moonlight reflected in her purple eyes. She placed her nose closer to the glass to enjoy the scent of red wine swirling inside it.nov𝓮𝗅𝗎𝗌𝒷.𝗰\o/𝔪

"Bournegia wine glasses have a narrow cheek, so it's easy to smell the scent of the wine. Sometimes I get drunk by simply inhaling the scent."

Princess Sahar slowly turned her head towards one corner behind her. There, she saw Yoo Seodam standing still in a neat uniform. She looked at him with eyes filled with pity.

"I'm sorry for you too."

"Why is that?"

"You were also sent here by His Majesty to watch over me…. The fact that such a young knight like you was assigned to the Duchess Serenity actually means that your future is blocked. Well, it could be very enjoyable to watch a disgraced princess ending her own life."

What she said would have been right if Yoo Seodam was like others who blabbered their mouth and swore at the Duchess Serenity.

"I think you have a misunderstanding, Your Highness."

"What kind of misunderstanding?"

"I didn't come here because of His Majesty the Emperor's order. I come here by my own will, because I want to protect you, Your Highness."

Princess Sahar stared into Yoo Seodam's eyes and burst into laughter.

"That's such funny bullshit. If I was still the same old me, your neck would have been gone."

"I'm curious about the old princess. Could you please tell me your story, Your Highness?"

Princess Sahar was not the protagonist. Her rival Bianca was the protagonist. Yoo Seodam thought that a lot must have happened before he came here. He had to know what the hell had happened and how she became like this.

"Okay. I'm tired of talking to the wall anyway. I will tell you my story."

With her purple eyes twinkling, Princess Sahar started.

"Around 1 year ago, I turned back the time."

"Saintess-nim. You look so beautiful today."

"Really? I think so too."

Looking at myself in the mirror, I couldn't get tired of it..

The woman in the mirror was me and not me at the same time. The truth is, I remember my previous life. I even remember the moment when I got hit by the truck while I was reading my favorite web novel 'The Evil Woman Who Turn Back Time'.

Eugh… it was a terrible experience I don't want to go through ever again.

Anyway. That's how I died, and reincarnated to a pretty woman in the mirror 'Bianca'.

…..Unfortunately, I am not the protagonist of this world.

This world was a world inside the novel 'Evil woman who turns back time' that I was holding right before my death.

Yes, the protagonist of this world was 'Sahar Serenity'. She was killed because of Saintess Bianca's evil trick on her first life, she also lost her loved ones and her powers. But then, the Goddess of Time and Season mistook Princess Sahar as someone else, and reincarnated her to the past.

After many twists and turns, Princess Sahar succeeds in killing Saintess Bianca and reclaims her love, wealth, and honor using her knowledge of the future!

It must have been a cool cider… If I was not reincarnated as Saintess Bianca!!

"Saintess? Are you okay?"

"Huh? Yes. I'm okay."

Oops, I was squeezing my hair without even knowing. As the fine hair was scattered, the priestesses hurriedly combed it.

The name of the priestess on my left was Yayan, the one in my right was Koyan. Both of them were the closest priestess to Saint Bianca. Both also had a pitiful and dark future awaiting them. Both of them could not violate Bianca's order, and after committing numerous evil deeds, they would eventually be caught by Princess Sahar, their limbs would be amputated and they would be thrown out to the streets.

The same future is also waiting for me. Probably, even if I stay still like this, I would somehow get caught by Princess Sahar and sentenced because of numerous abuse and blasphemy I committed, and eventually I would die within a year.

"Fyuuuhhh…."

The moment I sighed heavily..

Clannkk!!!

I heard the sound of glass shattering right behind me. I turned my head in shock and saw one of the priestesses trembling.

Ah, that's the refreshing 'yogurt fruit parfait' right?

After mixing lemon and banana, and spreading the strawberry under the ice cream, the fascinating taste of the strawberry was the only happiness I could feel here….

What's wrong with her? Why is that child shivering like that?

"I'm s-s-s-s-sorry Saintess-nim! I committed a grave sin!"

The priestess who dropped the parfait suddenly knelt and slammed her head to the floor.

Ah, now I understand! The original Bianca was quite feisty and was famous for her swear words. The parfait was definitely a waste, but I am not the original Bianca, so…

"It's okay. Did you say your name is… Silbinis?"

"Yes, yes! That's right!"

"We can just make another parfait. Don't be too scared like that. I'll clean it up here, so go back. Next time, you can make a more delicious parfait for me."

"Oh, ah…! Thank you, thank you so much, Saintess-nim..!"

As she cried, she got up from the floor and went back while being supported by other priestesses. By the way, I turned my head because I felt a stinging gaze behind my head. I could see Yayan and Koyan were looking at me as if they were looking at a new washing machine with Q-rating quality assurance.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Oh, no. Saintess-nim is so kind."

"Fyuuhh, is that so?"

Well, it would be nice if I made an ally too. Thinking so, I looked at the mirror again, and a woman who stood out even more than me came into my sight.

Huh… Did she say her name was Aracelli? I remembered black hair being so rare here. Since I've never heard of such a name in the original novel, she's probably an extra that was described as 'a lovable priestess'.

Anyway, what to do in the future?

Perhaps even now, Princess Sahar was busy laying a foundation based on her future knowledge in order to get her revenge to the Saintess. Ugh, how can I die like that, even after reincarnating!

I can't let that happen, wouldn't it be better to run away to the countryside? I have a divine power anyway, so even if I worked as a masseuse or therapist in moderation, I would have a great income. Good. Now that I know what to do, I had to do it right away.

At that time, I heard a knocking sound from the door. From the outside a warm voice with a low-pitch tone rang.

-Bianca. Are you inside?

Oh no! My heart will melt just by hearing that voice…No, that's not it!

The owner of that voice was the male lead, the Pope, Cain!

Oh my god, there's nothing good about being connected with the male lead…!

But that doesn't mean I could turn him away, so I had no choice but to let him in.

When he entered his room, his blue hair and gray eyes mesmerized me, it was as if the lights from all over the world were focused solely on him. On top of that, he's a nice person too. What did he eat to grow up to be so beautiful? (T/N: Yes, beautiful, not handsome)

"Bianca. What's wrong?"

"Uh, um. no! It's nothing."

"Is that so? Thank God, that's a relief. I heard that you've been looking for fruit parfait lately…"

I'm too ashamed I want to hide. No, let's just hide!

"…..I read it in a book, it seems like women eats a lot of sweet food when they are stressed out. So, I was a little worried…."

Unbelievable….. Does a man like you really need to be sweet too? I've become more ashamed of myself because I think badly of you!!

"No, no. I just eat it a lot these days because it's delicious!"

"I'm glad."

He smiled refreshingly as if he was really fortunate, but at the same time his slender eye line was bent and my heart broke at the same time.

"Bianca. I'm going to visit the pilgrimage site of the Republic of Maoliden. Would you like to go with me?"

"O…of course!"

Oops, I answered without knowing. It shouldn't be like this!

Think about it, wasn't the 'incident' happened around this time?

'The Republic of Maoliden. Republic of Maoliden…. Ah!'

I remembered it. The assassination of well-known people in the Republic of Maoliden. At the time, quite a few people were killed and injured, and even the male lead, Pope Cain was seriously injured. However, thanks to Princess Sahar's interference, who knew all of this incident in advance, the event was avoided and Pope Cain fell in love with her.

"Heummm….."

I was thinking quietly, while looking at Pope Cain calmly.

"Uh, Cain-nim. I have something to say…."

"A year ago, on that day. It was the start."

Princess Sahar told Seodam her story quietly. It was like she was narrating someone else's story in a ridiculous way. That was why Yoo Seodam felt like his chest was crushed after hearing her story.

"I knew in advance what was going to happen that day. So, in order to save Pope Cain, I wield a sword and tried to kill all the assassins on the scene."

However, the moment Princess Sahar confronted the assassins. Saintess Bianca suddenly appeared and shouted.

'Princess Sahar! What are you doing!! Why, why did you do this!'

'…No, I'm trying to stop them-'

Princess Sahar tried to explain the situation, but to no avail. Even Pope Cain, who appeared right after Saintess Bianca, was also looking at her with an incredulous expression.

'Princess Sahar Serenity…….'

The ever so sweet Pope Cain was looking at her with a cold expression she had never seen before. Then, he said as if he was sincerely disappointed.

'As the Child of Goddess of Seasons and Time, aren't you embarrassed about what you do?'

'I want to stop this case-'

'Can I ask how will you stop it? How did you even know in advance? I wouldn't have known if Bianca hadn't reminded me of something strange. What is the reason you were able to find out more about this case faster than me, the Pope?'

Of course, she couldn't answer. She couldn't tell them that she was a regressor, and she knew the future in advance. In the first place, would they believe it if she told them?

"……That day, I was deprived of all my abilities and status as 'Child of God'. It was funny, I tried to correct the future for the sake of God and Pope Cain, but everything went wrong from the very start."

Also, Princess Sahar said they were very lucky that there were no victims thanks to the 'unknown female wizard' who appeared on the scene and used her magic to eradicate the enemy.

'Wait, a female wizard?'

Yoo Seodam thought.

But Princess Sahar's miserable biography continued.

She has done her best to change the future. To save everyone, to get her own things back with minimal losses, she ran wild and moved her feet fast.

However, it was to no avail.

Saintess Bianca incited the Emperor by saying, "Something is strange, Princess Sahar was always the cause of the incident." And when Saintess Bianca said to the world's best swordsman "Oppa, I'm scared to go there", he would immediately rise to rescue her. Everything that Princess Sahar had planned for the future vanished in vain.

She went through all sorts of humiliation by being framed and despised.

Finally, even her beloved Emperor turned his back on her.

All of that happened in the span of one year.

"Well, let's just say that is my destiny… Perhaps God wants to tell me that fate cannot be changed. Even if I live my life again."

Yoo Seodam stared at the face of Princess Sahar who spoke bitterly.

'Humm…….'

In his mind, it was such an interesting development. A fight between a regressor and a transmigator. However, in this case, it seemed that Saintess Bianca, the protagonist, who received the 'protagonist correction' was overwhelmingly dominant.

'Thinking about it, Saintess Bianca resembles me a lot…'

After thinking about it for a long time, Yoo Seodam finally came to a conclusion.

'Um, it seems like this request won't be easy.'

The situation was so bleak. Of course, it was not necessary for him to save Princess Sahar, if he went to the temple, there could be a way to kill the Saintess.

The Saintess level is 99. Most of her ability was focused on defense and healing, so her actual combat power is no different than normal people. In other words, if Yoo Seodam decided to fight her, he would win.

But, would it be okay?

Yoo Seodam still doesn't know what Saintess Bianca's 'probability' would do if he killed her. She might be reincarnated as soon as she was killed looking at the fact that she was the only Saintess of the Goddess of Time and Season, Kader.

'I really hit a dead end.'

After thinking about it for a long time, Yoo Seodam decided to give up for now and think about the 'unknown female wizard' that was bothering him. From what Yoo Seodam could infer from Princess Sahar's story, the wizard always appeared like a wind whenever an accident occurs. And she would quickly disappear after reducing the number of victims as much as possible. There were also a lot of people looking for her in the empire.

Questions such as 'who is she?' 'where did she come from?' and 'how did she use such great magic?' could be heard everywhere in the empire. Even one of the 'Male lead', The Tower master, was said to be looking for her.

However, Yoo Seodam could roughly guess who the unknown wizard was.

She was a girl who had succeeded in finding him beyond time and space and managed to come here a year earlier compared to him.

'It's you huh? Aracelli.'

Yoo Seodam's main objective for now was to meet her.
