[Meanwhile, Kael from the past...]

He froze in place, his body going completely rigid, his eyes bulging as if they might pop out of their sockets. His jaw dropped as he beheld the sight of Eira’s body hanging in the middle of the guest room.

His mind was in turmoil. He had absolutely no memory of what had actually transpired; all he recalled was being thrown into a pitch-black, empty void, only for the world around him to reappear—revealing that horrific scene.

"E-Eira..." he murmured, still in

  • Defying Fate with 1,000 Sins   Ch. 88 - 3 Different Stories

    It turned out that Lucas and Chadwick had been classmates at an elite academy—a place reserved for the descendants of elite clans—long before they ventured beyond the castle grounds to mingle with members of other clans.Upon reuniting with Lucas, Chadwick poured out everything, leaving no detail out—including what led up to Amora’s disappearance.Chadwick pinned his hopes on Lucas, believing his old friend might help him plead with the Moon Goddess—the very entity who had taken Amora away—to return her."Please... I truly need your help, Lucas," Chadwick said, pressing his palms together in a gesture of supplication.Lucas remained silent for a long moment, stunned. The man before him—once radiating immense charisma—now looked at him with desperate, pleading eyes, begging for help to get Amora back.Meanwhile, Eira couldn't help but imagine Kael in Chadwick’s position. Honestly, a part of her felt a grim satisfaction at the thought of Kael losing his sense of self—just as Chadwick ha

  • Defying Fate with 1,000 Sins   Ch. 87 - The Weakest Side

    "There’s no need to keep looking into *hanahaki*, Kael," Eira said suddenly one morning, just as Kael was about to leave for work.Eira clearly knew Kael had been coming home late—not because he was working overtime at the office, but because he was searching for a way to cure her illness. Kael desperately wanted a cure—one that would guarantee the disease would never return once she recovered."Why? What’s wrong? Why are you saying that all of a sudden?" Kael asked, panicked—fearing that Eira might have given up on everything she was enduring.Eira offered a small smile, her gaze fixed on the food on her plate. "I think... the recovery is just happening gradually," she replied, trying to reassure him.Hearing this, Kael sat back down, waiting for his wife to explain what she had just brought up.Eira looked at Kael with a faint smile. Given all the effort he had put in lately, she felt confident Kael had begun to love her—even if only a little."At first, I would cough up flower peta

    Kael returned home feeling somewhat frustrated, having failed to uncover any information today. He had even gone out of his way—stopping by the Clawheaven forest on his way back from the office—in hopes of encountering that man once more.Yet, he had come up empty-handed."Eira?" Kael called out, finding the house pitch-black, even though it was only nine in the evening.Eira, who had been sitting on the sofa—lost in thought—turned, startled by Kael’s voice. She quickly stood up and flipped the light switch."Oh, you’re home," she said."What’s wrong? Why is it so dark?" Kael approached Eira and gently kissed her forehead.Eira offered a faint smile. She let out a soft sigh, choosing not to share what she had learned: that the man who had been watching her all this time was also suffering from the *hanahaki* disease."I was just waiting for you. Since the household staff had already left for the day, I turned off the lights," Eira lied.In truth, she hadn’t even noticed when the staff

    Eira sat inside the man’s house, listening to the full story of Amora—the author of the book she now held in her hands. The man, who claimed to be Amora’s partner, showed her several blurry photographs; the faces in them were almost impossible to make out."She disappeared five years ago," the man said, his head bowed in sorrow.Eira remained silent, wanting to hear the rest of the story."I nearly lost my mind. I woke up one morning, and Amora was simply gone from my side. I searched for her—I went to the ends of the earth—but I found no trace of her existence, not even in the memories of those who had known her.""I’m sorry—what do you mean by that?"The man looked at Eira, his expression softening—a silent acknowledgment that her arrival was, perhaps, not unwelcome. It was understandable; after all, Eira was merely seeking to uncover the truth about the *hanahaki* disease."I mean... was she kidnapped? Or did she have to go somewhere because of the *hanahaki*?""She wasn’t kidnappe

    "What do you mean, my wife is disappearing from this world? Did she ever wrong you in some way?!" Kael’s temper flared at the man’s reckless remark.Eira said nothing. She felt—or rather, she was certain—that the stranger standing before her was connected to the person who had mentioned the *hanahaki* disease to her when she had gone out the other day.She did not attempt to protest. Her expression remained flat, as if she were already prepared for the worst possible news. After all, she had died from that very *hanahaki* disease in her previous life."I am only speaking based on—""Don't talk nonsense!" Kael snapped, cutting the man off before he could say another word.The man glanced at Eira, who appeared far calmer than Kael—who had flown into a rage before even hearing a full explanation."Leave, if you have no further business with me," the man said, his patience worn thin by Kael’s arrogant attitude."Hey! I’m here because you were stalking us!""I told you, I’m not a stalker!

    Kael wasn’t focused on his work. Many tasks had been left unfinished, though he eventually got them all done one by one. However, his new assignments might fall apart if Kael couldn’t get Eira's words from the night before out of his mind.Gone. Eira felt as if she were about to disappear, but Kael had no idea what she meant.“Mr. Kael,” Edward called out.Kael turned around in surprise. “Yes? Did you find any other clues about Winter Vixen, Edward?” Kael asked.Edward came in and showed him a photo he’d managed to take. “It’s not about Winter Vixen, sir. It’s about a man who’s been stalking your house lately.”Kael stared at the photo, which was indeed somewhat blurry. But it was enough for Kael to begin memorizing the man’s physique in detail slowly. The man was clearly extremely thin.“Did you manage to follow him?” Kael asked.“Yes, sir. He entered the Clawheaven forest and then vanished without a trace.“Ah, I even felt like he went through a portal separating this world from ano
