-99레벨 대마법사

A year ago, a witch planted a curse on me. Afflicted with the Silver Moon disease, my life hung by a thread. At the risk of his life, Sebastian Garland, the Alpha and my boyfriend at the time, ventured into the deadly Dark Woods. He suffered for 99 days, braving countless dangers, just to bring back the antidote that could save my life. From that moment onward, I swore that no matter what kind of mistake he made, I would forgive him 99 times. Soon after my vow takes effect, Sebastian betrays me. He starts bringing back countless lovers to our home. "This is the reality of being a Luna. You should get used to it," he says to me. On the anniversary of our relationship, he brings back another lover. "Cassandra, Isabella doesn't have a gown she can wear to the party. Give her the one you wore on your wedding day," Sebastian heartlessly orders me. Despite believing that I've grown numb, when I hear those words, my heart still feels like it has been ripped apart. My voice trembles with rage as I cry out, "You can't keep hurting me however you like just because you think I'll bear with it! I won't put up with this forever. I'll break my bond with you!" All of the werewolves in the pack laugh hysterically, as if they have just been told the most ridiculous joke in the world. Sebastian's repeated humiliation of me has left me without a shred of dignity as his Luna. No one believes me. While eyeing me derisively, Sebastian says, "I'm sick of hearing that. It's even more nauseating than the moans you make in bed!" I close my eyes, allowing my tears to fall. This is the 96th time. Once he uses up all of his chances, it'll be the day I'll finally be free.

My mother is in the late stages of cancer. Yet, she sits in a wheelchair with an oxygen tube and endures a long train ride just to attend my wedding with Isaac Pudley. But when it's time for him to walk down the aisle, I don't see him anywhere despite screaming his name. It turns out his childhood sweetheart, Megan Ericsson, is having another depressive episode and is threatening suicide again. "Isaac, I can't live without you," she screeches. Isaac is always so stern and composed, but he now holds Megan in his arms and begs me to call off the wedding so they can leave. Relatives and guests watch the spectacle with thinly veiled amusement. To make matters worse, my mother is so angry that she faints. However, Isaac believes that my mother is feigning illness. He only wants to take Megan with him and leave. He even takes away my mother's wheelchair. But he seems to have forgotten that he has hurt me 97 times by now. After he hurts me 99 times, I’ll definitely leave him.

결혼한 지 1년쯤 지났을 무렵, 고시윤은 갑자기 부부 관계에 거리를 두기 시작했다. 집 안에 따로 불당을 짓고, 손에서는 염주를 놓지 않았다. 내가 어떻게 유혹해도 그는 늘 담담했다. 차갑고 고요한 태도는 조금도 흔들리지 않았다. 그러던 어느 밤, 욕실 문 밖에 서 있던 나는 두 눈으로 똑똑히 보았다. 고시윤이 다른 여자 사진을 앞에 두고 욕망을 터뜨리고 있는 모습을. 나는 그제야 깨달았다. 고시윤이 무정한 게 아니었다. 그는 나에게만 무정했을 뿐이었다. 나는 고시윤을 속여 이혼합의서에 서명하게 만들었고, 이 남자의 세계에서 완전히 사라졌다. 그런데 뒤늦게 들려온 소문에 따르면, 고시윤은 나를 찾느라 미쳐버릴 지경이었다고 했다. ... 다시 마주쳤을 때는, 고시윤의 외삼촌 결혼식장에서였다. 나는 새하얀 웨딩드레스를 입고 있었고, 고시윤은 눈시울을 붉히면서 결국 그 호칭을 부르지 못했다. 외숙모.

Ketika suamiku, Rocco dari Keluarga Fauzian, menutup teleponku untuk ke-99 kalinya, aku menyeret tubuhku yang sudah berada di tahap akhir leukemia melangkah masuk ke kantor penasihat hukum keluarga. "Selamat siang, saya ingin mengajukan perceraian." Namun, sepuluh menit kemudian Rocco sudah menerima kabar itu dan menerobos masuk bersama keluargaku. Pemimpin keluarga itu baru masuk, lalu langsung menamparku. "Demi mengacaukan pesta kenaikan jabatan Sofia, kamu menyalahgunakan nomor komunikasi darurat? Otakmu taruh di mana?" Laporan diagnosis yang kugenggam, direbut paksa oleh ibuku. Dia melirikku lalu mencibir sambil tertawa sinis. "Pura-pura sakit untuk cari simpati, cuma supaya kami memperhatikanmu. Claire, dari kecil sampai besar, berapa banyak kebohongan yang sudah kamu buat?" Sofia menarik lengan Rocco sambil menahan tangis. "Maafkan aku, Kak Claire. Aku seharusnya nggak menerima kenaikan jabatan itu. Kumohon, jangan sakiti dirimu dan Rocco lagi!" Aku menyeka darah yang terus mengalir di sudut bibirku, lalu kembali menghadap pengacara. "Aku sudah nggak punya keluarga lagi. Demi tidak menunda proses kremasi jenazahku tiga hari lagi, tolong bantu selesaikan proses perceraian secepatnya."

破産後、私は幼なじみの陸川智之（りくかわ ともゆき）のベッドに押し込まれた。 その日以来、彼は毎晩女を家に連れ込み、私に離婚協議書を投げつけた。 「浅草茉白（あさくさ ましろ）、俺に頼め。そうすれば、離婚しないさ」 高慢に構える彼は、私が必死に願う姿を、まるで卑しい虫のように見下していた。 彼はオフィスで公然と、私に秘書である小林莉々（こばやし りり）の足を揉むよう命じた。 浅草グループがあと2億で完全に立ち直れるはずの日まで、莉々は私のすべての助けを求める電話を遮った。 私は二十四時間丸々待ち続けたが、助けは来なかった。そのため、浅草グループが完全に倒れ、両親も飛び降り自殺した。 その後、智之は莉々を連れて、家のドアを開けると、再び署名済みの離婚協議書を私の目の前に投げつけた。 「俺のところへ来たのは、浅草家を助ける金が欲しかったからだろ？俺に頼め！俺が離婚しない限り、誰も浅草家に手を出せない」 今回、絶望した私は淡々と署名した。 「智之、結構よ。浅草家はもうあなたの助けを必要としないわ」

Léonard m'avait aimée autrefois. Pour créer un lien du couple avec moi, il m'avait avoué son amour 99 fois. À la quatre-vingt-dix-neuvième, j'avais finalement été touchée. Le jour où nous avions célébré le rituel de marquage, je lui avais offert quatre-vingt-dix-neuf cartes de pardon, avec la promesse suivante : « Je te donnerai quatre-vingt-dix-neuf chances d'être pardonné. Tant que tu ne les as pas toutes utilisées, peu importe tes fautes, je te pardonnerai toujours… Et je resterai à tes côtés. » Pendant les six années de notre lien du couple, j'avais rarement eu besoin de ces cartes. Mais depuis un an, son amie d'enfance, Julie, était revenue. Et le nombre de cartes de pardon que j'utilisais avait commencé à augmenter. Quand j'ai utilisé la quatre-vingt-dix-huitième carte, Léonard a remarqué que j'avais changé. Je ne pleurais plus. Je ne me disputais plus avec lui à cause de Julie. Je le regardais simplement, avec un visage calme, et je lui ai demandé : « Si tu vas la retrouver… Est-ce que je peux utiliser une carte de pardon ? » Léonard a hésité un instant, puis a repris son ton habituel : « D'accord. De toute façon, t'en as utilisé quoi… Une cinquantaine ? Si tu veux, utilise. » Je n'ai rien répondu. Je l'ai laissé quitter la maison. Mais il ne savait pas que c'était la quatre-vingt-dix-huitième. Il ne lui restait plus qu'une seule chance. Et une fois la dernière carte utilisée… Je le quitterais pour toujours.
