The terrifying red window full of errors like last time did not appear, but the result of not knowing anything was the same.
“Request a research!”
Even though angry Zero tried searching again, the result did not change.
[No search results found.] [We recommend searching again with similar words.]‘It feels similar to a major portal site.’
I never knew that the library encompassing all information in this world was organized in the form of a database. According to Zero, even the gods above are lately interested in the latest update technology, hence this format was adopted.
[Do you not have any content to search for?]Zero did not give up and knocked on the door of research again.
“Profit, research for relevance with magic or spells!”
[No search results found.]“Ughhhh!”
Angry Zero threw his staff towards the status window.
The staff, smaller than a baguette, passed through the translucent status window and fell into my hand.
“How can the system governing this world not know anything! So frustrating!”
Zero, whose pride was hurt, flopped down and threw a tantrum.
I couldn’t bear to hear the whining while he flailed his short arms and legs, so I handed him a cookie and said,
“What can you do? Even the system doesn’t know.”
“But! Then, I have… no use.”
Zero said, chewing on the cookie in his mouth.
His small ears and cottonlike tail drooped.
He seemed disheartened, considering he had boasted about being in charge of the host, and things were not going his way.
He even seemed to be on the verge of tears.
I stroked Zero’s head with my forefinger and consoled him.
“It’s okay. You have granted all of my subquest requests, and even got the rewards approved. That alone has been a huge help to me, right?”
At my words, Zero, who had been shedding tears the size of chicken droppings, lifted his head, sniffing.
“Really…?”
“Yeah. You’re better than you think, so don’t be down. Honestly, sulking doesn’t suit you.”
“What?”
Angry Zero made a noise, crumbs flying.
“That’s right. Getting angry is better.”
“Ugh.”
Grumbling Zero turned his back on me and continued to munch on cookies.
I briefly recalled the eerie error warning of the red status window I saw last time.
The malicious words clearly revealed amid useless special symbols.
Wish they were all dead
Was it a message sent by someone with enough power to cause an error in the status window?
‘Then do they recognize me and Zero, who are different from the people of this world?’
If so, it was serious.
The unknown enemy knew of my existence, while I did not know him.
I didn’t know what he was up to using the zombie situation, but currently, the culprit had the upper hand. He managed to not only avoid Zero’s system network but also hide information and explode the status window.
‘This is dangerous.’
Although it might not be a sure fact, I decided to take a chance on Loos’ conjecture.
I needed Zero’s system search window to do so.
“Hey, Zero.”
“Huh, what?”
“If it’s impossible to find a direct cause, will you search for magic and spells first? Especially spells.”
Zero, who had been quelling his anger by eating cookies to his heart’s content, nodded.
“That’s easy. After all, I’m in charge of this world. Give me my staff.”
As I respectfully handed over the staff with both hands, Zero launched the search window again.
[What do you need?]“Search for explanations about magic and spells.”
[I accept the request.] [I bring the search results before the user.]Without even a loading window, the information appeared immediately.
[Magic] [One of the 5 major forces in the controlled area SP[Dash]384723.] [Defined as handling the inherent mana blessed by mana in the human body, it is called magic.] [Those who can wield magic are called wizards.] [All wizards are obliged to go to the magic tower, the cradle of wizards, immediately after experiencing the ‘awakening’ of realizing their mana.] It is common to have a master for a certain period inside the magic tower and learn magic, and one is not treated as a formal magician if this is violated.90% of those who can cast magic are magicians officially recognized in the magic tower.
If a magician is of noble origin, they also become a formal magician by going to an academy where they can learn magic. They make up the remaining 10%.
The attributes that a magician can have are a total of six: water, fire, wind, earth, light, and darkness.
A genius of attribute utilization who can handle all of them is referred to as an allrounder magician and becomes a strong candidate for the next tower lord.
The tower lord is enthroned as the best magician of his time, and if there are several successors, it is determined through a magic duel.
The career path of a magician…
“It’s really long.”
Knowing how magic is described in the setting of ‘Flower Path’, I quickly read the explanation about spellcasting.
Indeed, spellcasting was a story I had never seen before.
[Spellcasting] [One of the five powers in jurisdiction area SP384723.]When male lead is the homewrecker
“I know she doesn’t love him.”
I’ve read the novel below twice already. Girls, I’m highly recommending it to you!
The female lead? Not a good person.
The second male lead? Not a good person.
The male lead? Willingly plays the third party, breaking up the female and second male lead’s relationship despite all the warnings from his friends—so yeah, he’s definitely not a good person either.
Basically, nobody in this novel is simple-minded or without scheming.
The female lead starts off as the male lead’s secretary, but don’t worry—later on, she takes over the company while the male lead steps back to support her. He won’t steal her spotlight, overshadow her, or dull her shine.
I love novels where men are out here snatching wigs, tearing each other down, and going to war just to win the female lead’s affection. And this is exactly that kind of novel. Most of Hai Dai Ran’s works have this dynamic. You’ll see the male characters’ emotions being pushed to the absolute extreme.
There’s even a scene where the second male lead exposes the male lead online for being a homewrecker. The brotherhood immediately gangs up on him, dragging him through the mud. I find it compelling —it completely flips reality on its head, where usually, women are the ones fighting over a man and getting torn apart by the sisterhood.
For me, female leads in the novels I read should only struggle in their careers, not in love. But if the brainless romantics in the story are all men? I have zero complaints.
I’ve pretty much read all of Hai Dai Ran’s novels and even translated all of them—her works are just my thing. I’ll slowly upload everything here. One day, when my website is official, I hope I can invite her to join as one of the star authors.
Here’s the story synopsis:
One-line summary: She is his lifelong obsession, to the point where he was willing to be a third wheel, scorned by society, just to wedge his way into her relationship with her fiancé.
Cold-hearted and indifferent female lead + Scheming and subservient CEO male lead
Intro 1:
“I know she doesn’t love him.”
With blood trickling from his clenched fist, Rong Xiu gazed at the woman before him, his eyes clouded with anguish. Hidden in the wardrobe, he had witnessed Fan Xia – the woman he desperately loved – in an intimate embrace with her fiancé. Yet his heart still yearned for her, defying all reason.
Fan Xia, the elegant and composed assistant, carried something mysterious in her eyes whenever she looked at her fiancé, Wen Lan Sheng. Strange occurrences began to surface – secret meetings with the young Gu Jin Yi, an unexplained withdrawal of 5,000 yuan… Then suddenly, her fiancé’s sister, Wen Jing, violently attacked her.
In this matriarchal society, Rong Xiu had risen to become the chairman of a powerful healthcare conglomerate, breaking through gender prejudices. But for the first time, he willingly stepped into the shadows as the other man, disregarding his friends’ warnings to become her secret lover.
Because he had discovered the truth – Fan Xia wasn’t the pure angel everyone believed her to be. And perhaps, he was the only one capable of helping her execute her mysterious plan…
Intro 2:
Rong Xiu’s biggest regret in life was missing out on Fan Xia.
He secretly loved Fan Xia for 7 years.
Watched her go public with her boyfriend.
Watched her kiss her boyfriend at their wedding.
Until that man blissfully nestled in Fan Xia’s arms, obtaining everything he could only dream of.
The crazy jealousy stripped away his hidden secret love, layer by layer, burning like wildfire.
Fan Xia, how can I have you!
