Created a Reverse Harem in a Doomed World (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 2
“Huh?”
Before I could even think, “What’s she doing?”, the female lead, Siena, suddenly sank her teeth into the male lead’s neck.
It wasn’t a light bite either—she bit down hard enough for the sickening squelch of flesh crushing against teeth to ring clearly through the air.
The male lead, the Crown Prince, stood dumbfounded at the sudden turn of events, then screamed in agony as excruciating pain surged from his neck.
“Aaargh! Ah, it hurts!”
The moment the Crown Prince screamed, everyone invited to the wedding froze. They all stiffened momentarily, unable to comprehend what was happening.
I, who had been excitedly thinking about going home, was no different.
“…What the hell?”
Why is she doing that? Is this some kind of surprise? Is this hardcore style the new trend for royal weddings these days? Is this the start of a new fad? Author, your tastes must be rather unique.
I tried to brush it off lightly, but I could tell this was a spine-chilling, hair-raising situation.
She was a zombie—out to devour people.
‘I—I have to run.’
But my feet wouldn’t budge, as if glued to the floor.
The other guests were the same. They all stood bewildered until the male lead was bitten again and screamed—only then did they finally react.
“Kyaaah! H-help me!”
“Guards! Save the Crown Prince!”
“Kyaaaah! The Crown Princess has gone mad!”
Up until then, it was chaotic, but everyone still believed the situation would be resolved—including me.
“Zero, was there ever a scene where the female lead turned like this…?”
Zero, the golden hamster dressed head-to-toe in a pitch-black suit matching my dress code, was just sweating profusely over this mess.
「Th… that’s…」
‘Why’s this tiny thing sweating so pitifully again?’
I knew I shouldn’t be charmed by appearances, but he was just too cute—I took out my handkerchief and gently wiped his sweat away.
Zero buried his head in the handkerchief as if it were a large towel, anxiously nibbling at his front paw.
「…No. This is unexpected. I’ll need to report it to headquarters and investigate.」
“What?”
Then what about me? How am I supposed to get home?
Sensing something was terribly wrong from Zero’s reaction, I reached out to shake him—but before I could, another incident erupted.
The male lead, whom the female lead had bitten… was now in a state nearly identical to hers.
What I mean is, the Crown Prince’s eyes turned as blood-red as the female lead’s, and his joints twisted unnaturally on their own, just like a movie zombie. Then, with hollowed cheeks, he opened his mouth and bit the captain of the guard who’d rushed to protect him.
“Aaah! Y-your Highness! Why are you doing this?”
The captain tried to reason with him like a rational human, but the male lead seemed to have already lost his senses.
“Grrrrrrr…”
With unfocused eyes, he thrashed about, intent only on biting the living. Even as the captain tried to restrain him, the male lead soon began biting others. Meanwhile, the subdued female lead bit the fingers of whoever held her, letting out an eerie, incomprehensible wail.
“Grrrgh… Grrraaah…”
“Y-your Highness, if you can hear me… Kyaaah!”
Even the doctor who’d come running in panic was bitten by the Crown Princess. And the guard captain, bitten by the Crown Prince, rolled his eyes back, growled, and then opened his jaws wide to bite someone else.
“…I think I know what this is.”
It felt exactly like something I recognized. Goosebumps covered my body, and cold sweat trickled down my spine. I prayed desperately it wasn’t what I thought—but the world wasn’t on my side.
“H-help! Monster, it’s a monster!”
“Those bitten by His Highness the Crown Prince and Her Highness the Crown Princess are showing identical symptoms!”
“Quickly evacuate His Imperial Majesty the Emperor and Her Majesty the Empress!”
“Guests, please take cover! This is an emergency!”
The wedding hall, once brimming with joy, instantly turned into a scene of utter chaos. The victims bitten by the leads kept multiplying, all displaying the same symptoms.
People who had just moments ago been blessing the couple now ran for their lives. I, too, accepted that I wouldn’t be going home and joined the fleeing crowd to escape this danger.
“Zero!”
「…Yeah.」
“Tell me that’s not a zombie… right?”
When Zero, who had vanished earlier, reappeared, I paused briefly and stared at him pleadingly, hoping he’d say it wasn’t true—but my ominous premonition proved correct.
「…It seems… it is.」
Damn it all.
Where in the world is there an ending like this—a complete trainwreck where the protagonists turn into zombies right before the finale?
What about my tteokbokki? What am I supposed to do about it!
Just then—
“Grrraaah.”
A refined noblewoman who’d been criticizing my attire mere minutes ago now grabbed my wrist with cold hands, her hair disheveled and eyes bloodshot.
“Kyaaaah!”
Is this what it feels like to hold hands with a corpse?
The icy, horrifying sensation made me jerk my wrist free in a panic, and I started running with all my might.
No, no, I really hate this!
Wait—when did these zombies get this far?
I didn’t know how the zombies had appeared, but survival came first. After all, I couldn’t go home unless I kept my life.
“See you later, Zero.”
「Ah, got it.」
I slipped into the crowd fleeing from the zombies and ran without pause. My heavy, cumbersome dress hem kept getting in the way, making it terribly inconvenient.
Everyone else was in the same boat. After all, it was the Crown Prince’s wedding—everyone had worn their finest, most elegant outfits. Perfectly unsuitable for running away.
On top of that, some nobles insisted on walking slowly, claiming it was improper to run in the imperial corridors even in this crisis.
“This is the solemn imperial palace! Surely they can handle one monster.”
“Indeed. Must we run like commoners and lose our dignity?”
‘I can practically hear death flags being planted…’
It’s no wonder they say “never assume you’re safe.” Acting so carefree in such danger was exactly how they’d end up in mortal peril.
‘If they keep walking that slowly, the fast zombies will catch them—and they’ll suffer the same fate.’
The corridor, which had looked so beautiful just moments ago adorned with white lilies, now felt like a stage set for death, sending chills down my spine.
If I warned them to be careful, I might accidentally be accused of being a witch…
Well, that made sense—I was the villainess after all.
The villainess Elisabeth Keaton was a notorious liar and utterly wicked young lady. Her extravagant spending and malicious schemes against the female lead Siena were routine, and she’d threaten any other young lady she perceived as prettier or more influential than herself.
People would only see the image Elisabeth had built over time and wouldn’t believe a word I said. Trying would just be a waste of time.
‘So I should just leave those people behind and run…’
But I couldn’t bring myself to do it—they were still people.
“Hey! This isn’t the time for that! We have to run!”
I grabbed the hands of those slowing down and pulled them forward. Fortunately, this villainess’s body was sturdy—I wasn’t even that out of breath from running.
“Huff… huff… Lady Keaton… I can’t run anymore.”
“M-me neither…”
The noble couple who’d been running with me, holding my hands, let go, exhausted.
“No! Get up, quickly!”
How frail these nobles were. The young lady was on the verge of collapse—just making it this far in those high heels with no stamina was impressive enough.
But right now, only an all-out sprint with every ounce of strength would ensure survival.
“It might not just be a monster! If it moves extremely fast, they’ll catch it soon! So we absolutely must leave this place as quickly as possible!”
“Huh?”
“You saw how people turned strange right after being bitten by that monster earlier, right? If we don’t avoid that, we’ll end up in the exact same situation!”
Even as I panted and explained quickly, people seemed unable to grasp it. Or maybe someone understood but simply didn’t trust me—they just furrowed their brows skeptically.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe me! If you want to live, you must leave the palace immediately!”
I still didn’t know why the palace—of all places—was where the original story’s female lead had turned into a zombie. Even Zero, my helper, was flustered by the current situation and still investigating the cause—so there was no point in dwelling on it.
As I sprinted down the imperial corridor with all my might, even those who’d initially grumbled began following me. They must have decided I wasn’t lying.
But… something had felt off since a while ago. It was far too quiet. Fewer people were visible, and even the zombies’ noises had vanished.
‘And why, no matter how much I run, does the exit never appear?’
It felt as if I were trapped in a confined space. Judging by the time and distance I’d already covered, I should’ve reached an exit long ago—but through the windows, I kept seeing the same scenery, as if I were running in place.
Now that I thought about it, this door with the large engraved design—I’d seen it again and again. It was like wandering endlessly in circles through an infinite maze.
‘Is this magic? Or a curse?’
Either way, it certainly wasn’t good for me.
I spoke to Zero in my mind.
‘Hey, Zero. Busy?’
「Wha—what is it?」
‘Am I just running in circles here? Is someone deliberately blocking our escape?’
Zero stopped his investigation of the current situation, carefully examined the corridor I’d run through, and replied.
「Yeah. It seems someone cast a barrier to prevent anyone from leaving the imperial palace.」
‘What! A barrier? You never mentioned that before!’
「How was I supposed to know this would happen! I was all excited thinking my long business trip was finally over and I could clock out… How should I know what rotten bastard cast a barrier over the palace!」
Seeing the hamster assistant puff out his cheeks in workplace frustration, my anger cooled from how cute and pitiful he looked.
‘Then how do we break it?’
「Well… the conditions are quite tricky.」
Uncharacteristically hesitant, Zero stammered. Frustrated, I pressed him.
‘Just tell me already! Anything’s better than standing here and getting eaten by zombies.’
「Um… well… if we have zombie blood… it might work.」
Did I just hear that right? Was my hearing finally failing me?
‘You’re lying, right?’
「In this life-threatening situation for my assigned possessee, do you really think I’d lie?」
Damn it.
‘Whoever turned the female lead into a zombie—I’ll hunt them down and make them pay.’
My teeth ground together in fury.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
