I don’t like her stubborn look.

I prefer a sexy style like Lise over a stubborn style like that.

Seeing him engaged to a woman like that made me feel sorry for him.

Yeah, if you marry a stubborn woman like that, you’ll definitely be under her thumb. Kaine, you’re trying to mess with me again.

Until a moment ago, I felt grateful that he had helped me get a girlfriend, but it turned out he had just passed the bomb to me.

I was an idiot for feeling grateful to Kaine for a moment.

This is just not working out.

Eileen stared at me in disbelief after hearing my words.

I quickly got up from my seat to avoid any trouble.

“Then I’ll go first.”

Shit. Let’s get out of here.

I left the room, staring at the quest completion message.

.

.

.

Eileen stared blankly in the direction Kaine had left.

What’s going on? All of a sudden?

Eileen was so confused by the situation that she stood there in a daze for a full minute.

Is he just going to say what he wants and leave like this?

She was initially bewildered, but then her head started to pound.

“Huh, huh! What’s going on?”

She had originally intended to break off her engagement with Kaine today. Due to his frequent mishaps, her family had been pressuring her to break up with him.

Eileen had decided to break up with him after enduring the pressure from her family and his changes for several nights.

However, despite this, she couldn’t help but think back to when she first met Kaine. At that time, he wasn’t called a hooligan like he is now. Although he didn’t have much talent, he was diligent and had a decent personality, which made him leave a good impression on others.

Because of this, Eileen had spent a lot of time thinking about how to make the breakup as painless as possible for Kaine.

In the end, she couldn’t even decide on a proper way to do it…

But he just says, ‘Let’s break up’ and leaves?

His expression wasn’t one of sadness, but of ease.

I spent several nights in the room trying to figure out how to avoid hurting him.

“…”

What the hell?

It’s true that she had intended to break up with him, and that things had turned out well, with Kaine not getting hurt as she had hoped.

Why am I so angry?

To be honest, I’m confident that my wealth and abilities are top-notch.

As for my character… I’m not sure, but I think I’m pretty good.

Even before my engagement to Kaine, I had received many confessions.

But he just dumped me without hesitation?

He can dump me, it’s possible that I’m not his type. But it was so unbelievable that he just said those words and left so coldly.

Eileen’s face turned red like a beetroot. She fanned herself with her hand to cool down.

“Ha! Good. I was going to break up with him anyway.”

In the end, she left the mansion with her eyes wide open.

.

.

.

A week had passed since Eileen’s visit.

“Phew… It’s tougher than I thought.”

“Master, but your strength and stamina have improved a little compared to the beginning.”

“Then why are you avoiding eye contact?”

Kage looked at the distant mountains and pouted, then started whistling.

Over the past week, I hadn’t been idle. I believed that even if my body had come back from the brink of death, it was necessary to at least have some fighting power. So, I started working out intensely.

I began with basic strength and endurance training, and then moved on to swordplay, aura manipulation, and various other tests and training.

Is this guy really Thomas’s son?

His strength and endurance should be terrible, considering that Kaine had been drinking all this time. But he seems to have no talent for swordplay and aura manipulation.

To be honest, I had hoped for the best, but he truly has no talent, just like an ordinary person.

Okay, let’s say it’s the swordplay.

Swordplay can be improved with practice. But when it comes to aura, I doubt it’s even there, as I can’t feel anything.

“Young Master, are you sure it’s okay to break up like that?”

Can you at least say that with a worried expression?

Her tone clearly sounds very worried, but unlike her words, her body is honest, and her mouth is slightly upturned.

She must be really happy that I broke up with Eileen.

“It’s fine. There won’t be a big problem.”

To be honest, the family probably won’t care much.

The Elijah family probably doesn’t even know that I’ve changed. Only a few people in the family truly believe the rumors.

The Elijah family would probably be happy that I broke up with her, if anything.

I can guarantee that she was also thinking about how to break up without causing any harm.

And when she came to see me, it was clear from their expressions that she was planning to break up.

Therefore, the Elijah family won’t make any demands or cause any trouble for us.

They’re probably dancing with joy.

“So, they’ll be happy, if anything. They won’t resent us. By the way, are we supporting the adventurer Kim Soo-yong in the name of the David family?”

Lise nods, her face still sullen from the incident earlier.

“Yes… Young Master, but why are you doing that? Isn’t he the one who destroyed your guild?”

Yeah, I have to follow the original game as much as possible.

Of course, the constellation could have returned to Kim Soo-yong, but you never know.

Honestly, I can’t read his mind at all, so there’s no guarantee that he’s gone back to Kim Soo-yong.

Therefore, it’s necessary to provide support in the name of the family, just like the church did.

Unable to reveal my true intentions, I patted her head to calm her down a bit.

“I can’t tell you the exact reason, but from his perspective, he just got rid of a bad guy. So if we invest in him, he’ll continue to take care of the trash in the territory.”

“Yes, yes. But that, hand…”

“Oh, sorry.”

As I stopped patting her, Lise let out a disappointed sigh.

Kage, who was watching from the side, looked at Lise with a soft gaze and tilted her head.

“Lise, your face is as red as an apple!”

“It’s a misunderstanding, junior.”

“Huh? It doesn’t seem like a misunderstanding. Do you like the touch of the master’s hand?!”

Kage is so young, so she’s blunt.

Hearing her response, Lise’s disappointed face instantly turned into a crescent smile.

“Junior, it seems like your break is over.”

“Huh? There should be more time for the break though?”

“No, it’s not. You seem so energetic when you talk back. Master, we’ll go back to training now.”

Lise’s firm response made Kage realize that she had touched on a sensitive topic. Her pupils began to shake like an earthquake.

“Okay, good work.”

“Sa, save me! Master!”

If you just stayed quiet, you’d be halfway there.

“It’s your own fault, Kage.”

“No!”

Kage was dragged away, still clinging to Lise.

Well, I guess I’ve trained enough for now. It’s time to go get some hidden items.

I started preparing little by little for the original work in the game.

.

.

.

After leaving the mansion, I headed towards the hidden item market, which was exclusively for priests.

As usual, the villagers avoided me as I walked.

I feel wronged every time I think about it.

I swear, I haven’t done anything wrong, but the villagers avoid me as if I were a monster.

As I walked, grumbling about how unfair it was, I eventually reached my destination.

Unlike the adventurer market I had visited before, this market was filled with people wearing pure white priest robes and white armor, like the paladins.

The surroundings were so white, it was like PTSD.

Just looking at the people walking around, I felt a sense of holiness.

“Excuse me, your aura is so pure…”

“Yes?”

“Sorry, I’m new and must have mistaken you for someone else.”

The church member who had been trying to persuade me to join did a 180-degree turn when she saw my face.

Damn, even the nuns are avoiding me.

Usually, people who try to persuade others to join a religion are persistent and don’t give up easily. But when she saw my face, her expression froze.

How far has Kaine’s reputation spread?

Well, I’m actually glad that they’re not bothering me, but I feel a bit strange.

I feel like I’m being ignored by the neighborhood dog.

Comparing religious persuaders to a neighborhood dog might not be the best analogy, but the feeling is similar.

In the end, the woman who had been trying to persuade me to join the church quickly put away the holy water she was holding and ran off to find someone else.

Well, let’s think positively. I should be grateful that the poop is avoiding me. Why complain?

I’m not trying to mentally convince myself because I’m hurt. I genuinely feel that way.

Yeah, that’s all it is. Damn.

.

.

.

Hmm… I think it should be around here.

I wandered around the snowy white temple, looking around.

Even though I’m a veteran player, it’s impossible to memorize every terrain. The hidden item I’m trying to get is obtained at the very beginning of the game.

Because of this, even though I know where it is, it’s difficult to memorize the path to get there.

Damn, this is why looking at the map is important.

When I played the game, I could just use the map function to find it easily, but without it, it’s not so simple.

-Swoosh.

As I walked around, I heard a familiar sound from somewhere.

Was that the sound I just heard?

Without hesitation, I headed towards the source of the sound.

The sound became clearer as I walked.

After walking for about 30 seconds, I arrived at the location of the hidden item, as expected.

At the same time…

[The goddess who sees fate wants to see you!]

What? Damn? Is this a dream?

I rubbed my eyes with my arm, thinking that my pupils might be acting up.

But contrary to my expectations, the message from the constellation remained intact in front of my eyes.

Ah… Please, damn it.

There were no messages from him for a week, so I assumed that he had given up on me and gone somewhere else.

But that wasn’t the case. It seems like he had left for a while, but he didn’t go back to Kim Soo-yong.

[The goddess who sees fate is curious about how you will avoid death.]

What? Damn, what nonsense is this?

Just then, I heard a menacing sound and felt an overwhelming pressure from behind.

“You took my goddess away. You don’t even deserve to suffer. Even if my goddess and the god of death forgive you, I won’t. So I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you.”

Cold sweat ran down my spine. Just as I was about to turn my head like a broken robot…

[You have died.]

The message that appears when I return by death appeared before my eyes.
