Jae Woon manages to cry himself to his sleep. He curls his shivering body on the cold and filthy floor as this room didn't have any necessary furniture. Forget about a spacious and comfy bed in his old world, this body didn't even have a single blanket to cover himself and he always sleeps in this pitiful condition since he is a small kid.
No one ever reaches their hands towards him, nor anyone feeling anything when looking at his miserable state. They will laugh, ridicule, and torture him in any fashion that suited their taste at any given time they get. For them, he is their special punching bag, and his life is only worth that much. He is what you called dead baggage in these places.Thud!Jae Woon is once again jolting up from his sleeping state. He almost bumped his head to the broken drawer beside his body as he scrambles of from the floor and sits in a squatting position while eyeing his surroundings suspiciously.What the fuck is that loud thudding sound? Where is it coming from? Can you let me off to sleep in a peaceful condition, for once? The first time, the pompous brats rudely waking him up from his sleep by dumping a bucket of smelly water all over his body. And, right now, he only managed to sleep for ten minutes before the loud sound successfully incurred his wrath. This time, who dare to disturb his sleep?!?(Hic...Good mor...hic...ning, host!) A suspicious blue energy ball is rolling around lazily on the dirty floor, with its eyes is clouded in drunkenness. Shades of pink tints are visible on both of its cheeks. And, gosh, the alcohol stench is too strong for his own liking!What the fuck is this blue-like ball thing that shamelessly rolling around like some sort of caterpillar in his drunken state and boldly intruding his humble abode? And, did this thing called him, host? He is not mistaken, right? He heard such a thing from Da Kyung before. About transmigration story and system. Well, he also had his own fair share of reading about such genre, but, he's more into sports, action, and adventurous comics. While, Ryan, that lecherous bastard only read shoujo manga as he is only interested in the female characters with big breasts, beautiful appearances, and their stunning figures, not in the story itself.[The trio, Ryan, Da Kyung, and Jae Woon were in the same club during their high school year, a manga club, that's barely maintained its existence with a minimum number of its members.]Jae Woon approached the blue energy ball carefully. He poked the ball's puffy-like cheeks with his finger. When he didn't receive any audible responses from the energy ball, Jae Woon bravely groping, pinching, and stubbing its body around.Oh! He was mentally amazed. This is quite nice to touch. Like a mochi.Grumble.Jae Woon ashamedly clutched his bloated stomach as the blushing on his face is becoming prominent as time ticks by. He's hungry. The last thing he eats is some snacks from his favorite cafe. The snacks sure are a mouthful, but, they are unable to make himself full, to the point he didn't need any other food.Jae Woon is afraid to venture beyond his room as his knowledge about this world is limited, and from the harsh treatment he received before, this body is hated by any person out there. Going outside is proved to be an arduous task, and he is not a brave person.Among the three of them, Jae Woon is the most unreliable one. He is a scaredy-cat, a crybaby and he hates insects especially the crawling ones more than anything else in this vast world, despite his tough look and cold appearance. He always hides timidly behind his two smaller friends when the other kids are mocking and bullying them in the past. He also dislikes violence.Jae Woon himself is famous in his neighborhood as some pompous and fragile prince, even though he never acted like that. His tall stature is attracting other kid's attention, and they are ridiculing him by calling him various bad names, such as beanpole, a stick and the worst one were...Jae Woon refused to remember the nickname. He should forget them and focused on the situation in front of him.
"Hey, Mochi." He decided to call this weird thing Mochi since he didn't know its name. "Wake up. Stupid Mochi, wake up!" Jae Woon lightly smacked Mochi's smooth and soft cheeks.(That's hurt!) Mochi opened its hazy eyes as an annoying feeling is visibly depicted on its round face. The system flew up and hovering in the air while looking around dangerously at its surroundings.
This system is feeling irritated and angry due to its hangover.(Who the idiot that shamelessly groping my round and beautiful body? Do you perhaps, are seeking a fight to the death with me?!)Jae Woon stared at the round ball shockingly. Mochi seemed innocent, but, its unexpectedly, short-tempered and had a narcissistic personality? This is why people always say, never to judge a book by its cover. You should never judge other people based on their outer appearances only.Hah...once again, he is forced to remember his good friends. How he missed them badly right now. Tears are brimming in his eyes, and he keeps blinking them to stop his crying streak.Han Ryan, with his innocent face, you cannot hold a candle when competing with him in terms of mischief and rudeness. Lee Da Kyung might be mistaken as a gentle, lovely, and tender girl, but, when she opened her mouth to curse, you'll die of regret and shock. She had a poisonous tongue and she had won any arguments out there with her specialty.(Oh my god! What kind of monster are you, host?! The face is too hideous! You almost give me a heart attack just now!) Mochi exclaimed exaggeratedly. Its eyes bulged out in disbelief because of the stimulating appearance of its host.Jae Woon's face turned green. He is slowly standing up and search for some hidden corner in the small room, and sitting there quietly, growing mushrooms at an unbelievable speed.
His body is exuding a gloomy aura and dark energy is seeping out and dispersing on the air, as it started to distort the space around him. Mochi saw how the dark energy is affecting the dimension and suddenly, a stern warning is being issued to the system from the higher up.
Mochi smacked its mouth. Damn it, me and my loose tongue!
(Shit! I'm sorry, host! Forgive my rudeness, please! Your face is not hideous, host. Don't worry! I'm a mighty system, and I can change your appearance to normal soon.)
Jae Woon glances at the system sullenly. He is clearly didn't trust Mochi yet as the culprit who thrown him into this piggy is that stupid energy ball. Not only that, while he was cruelly deserted into this strange world, he is also being left alone without any support, experiencing the helpless feeling of abandonment, and was drenched with water that smells like poop for the first time in his life!
"Really?" He asked.
(Of course, host. And for free! I will not charge you anything. Believe me, host! Please stop exuding those dark energies from your body, okay? At this rate, the world will realize a foreign soul is intruding on its territory and we will be receiving terrible consequences!) Mochi is begging in its most desperate tone. If they get thrown out before accomplishing anything, both of them will be punished severely! And, this mighty system might be reverting back into a normal, and ordinary system! No, the hard works of those thousand years will perish into nothingness!
Jae Woon stared at Mochi, unblinkingly. "Really? You will help me changing my hideous appearance? And, you will not charge me with anything?" Mochi nodded its head in enthusiasm. (Of course, host. I'm a mighty system. I already guided more than a hundred hosts, and all of them managed to complete their mission in flying colors. Just leave it to me, host!) Jae Woon's eyes once again are brimming with tears. He is suddenly started to cry and the system is flustered by its host's reaction. Why? Did I say the wrong thing to him? Mochi mentally said. Why did he cry? Aigoo...This is the first time this system is meeting such a peculiar host like him. Despite having a power that could topple the entire continent in a blink of an eye, my host is actually a pure man, with a tender maiden[?] heart. I got myself a very kindhearted host. Mochi stretched out its hand and gently rubbing Jae Woon's back. This simple gesture of
The people in this world is adoring the existence of the goddess Athena, the goddess of war. They believe that magic is bestowed by Her Grace as a gift for her followers to survive the harsh wars in the past. Athena’s statue is built in the middle of the busy plaza of the most famous and secure town in the whole continent, Snowflake Town. This town is where the king and his royal lineage reside. The castle is situated on top of a mountain, 13 km away from the main entrance of Snowflake Town and surrounded by a long stream of a beautiful river. Trees and flowers were planted on the riverside, and people love to spend their blissful time beneath those trees together with their beloved ones. Whether during the day or night, these places are overcrowding with people and hawkers stalls. &nb
"I..." As Seiran tried to counter Danial's words, her brothers' worried voices are then heard, calling for her attention. "Ran! Ran, where are you?! Ran!" Arthur, Sean, and Julian screamed their little sister's name in panic. Danial's eyes widen in shock. Ran? This girl is Seiran Knight, the only daughter of the scary Duke Knight? This is bad! If her brothers saw him with her here, they might misunderstand the whole situation and he will end up dead. Danial turned around and ran away in haste. He ignored Seiran's desperate pleading for him to stop. In a flash, Danial's back no longer visible for Seiran to look at. Seiran clutched her left chest. Without her realizes, a drop of tear is rolling down on her flushed, pink cheek. A surge feeling of sadness and d
Seiran is walking beside Danial. She gets her long-forgotten wish to walk alone with him without any interruption of her nosy brothers, but, she is too nervous to comfortably talk with him. After the incident that happened in the past, she tried to find Danial and she even requests her father to visit Danial in the palace. But, her request is denied. She vividly remembers the conversation she had that day with her family, about the shocking secret of Duke Knight Mansion and her identity. "You cannot meet him, not until you are strong enough to protect him, Ran." Her mother, Lady Liliane, a woman with black, and long wavy hair, with a pair of beautiful ocean-like orbs, is gently caressing her tears-stricken cheeks. "You are his protector, his support, and his soulmate. If you showed your true self in front of other people, your enemy might know the first prince's real identity. We need to protect him in silence, not endanger him."
"Oh, My Mighty Goddess, please hear my humble prayer and help this poor soul. Lift the curse that had been bounded him and save him from this damnation cycle. May you bless his life with your grace." Seiran muttered a prayer whilst closing her eyes in concentration. A bead of sweat is rolling down from her forehead as she is using a large amount of her inner energy to conjure a high-level healing spell, to counter the ancient curse in Jae Woon's body. At the same time, Jae Woon reluctantly swallowed the pill inside his mouth. As soon as the pill is dissolved, a chain of reactions is taking place. Hazy, black smoke is seeping out from his body along with a thick, foul odor. A rotten stench is wafting in the air, that it's almost making Jae Woon vomit on the spot. He managed to hold his
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. The antique hanging watch on the wall is reverberating when the time hits ten o'clock in the morning. The ticking sound of the clock is not deafening enough, however, it's disrupted the tranquility state of the living room. Lady Liliane fiddled with her fingers. She had no qualms in continuing her silly lie to the prince. They have been sitting in the living room in silence for almost fifteen minutes. She is subconsciously holding her breath and greedily exhaled a relief sigh once she heard the sound interruption from the clock. Nevertheless, the longer the time is dragging by, the more nervous and fidgety she felt about the situation on her hands. She apprehensively glances at the handsome male in front of her. "What will you do aft
Seiran opened her heavy eyelids. She is stretching out on her big bed like a lazy domesticated Persian cat. Her watery eyes swept around her surroundings in wonder. Seiran no longer felt lethargic and her inner energy and magic power already rekindled to their maximum state. Although right now, she is yearning for the comfortable and cozy feeling of Danial's embrace. The familiar setting of her own room and the homely vibe she is experiencing proved that she is back in her own haven. Ah, this is my room. Seiran dazedly contemplated this in the back of her mind. Did Danial bring her home? Seiran covered her blushing face with her palms as she remembers Danial's handsome and stunning appearance. His dazzling, and enthralling
Liliane finally calmed down. She released a relieved breath. Her shoulders shagged down a lot and she suddenly felt exhausted with all this secret she is keeping. Her daughter, Seiran keeps asking about her condition, which she assured her multiple times already, that she is okay and nothing is wrong with her. Liliane curled her lips into a smile. As soon as Seiran confirmed her mother's well-being, she turned her body around and face Danial. Danial flinched as he saw the fury in her almond-like eyes. Her eyes are burning with fire. Both of her hands are on her waist, while she is throwing an accusatory look toward the prince. The prince, however, just lifted his hands in mock surrender and give her his best puppy eyes and innocent look. Seiran's tense shoulders visibly relaxed. Her eyes soften at the pitiful expr
