“It’s scary.”
The woman muttered.
“If that collapses and overwhelms us…”
“Don’t worry.”
A strange premonition washed over him.
As if, he had said similar words to someone before…
“That belongs to me.”
“To you?”
The woman’s words sounded oddly bitter.
“Fortunately. You don’t have to worry about it collapsing.”
From the altar covering the sky, a brilliant light radiated. The Demon King shielded the woman’s eyes. It was a light that brought nothing good to humans.
Flashes of light occurred several times, and the Demon King’s field of vision also flashed white.
He couldn’t recall what happened afterward.
“I don’t know what it is… but I’m alive.”
Elysia quietly surveyed the chaotic streets that had become the crucible of confusion.
Everything was in disarray, but one thing was certain.
The prophecy was wrong, and they had survived.
If that was the case, there was only one thing to do.
‘I’d be a fool to miss this opportunity.’
Elysia started running.
If she could just gather her wits, she could obtain what she had long desired.
“You’ve finally come to your senses.”
The woman’s lively voice entered his ears.
“Now get up. You can’t just lie here forever.”
The Demon King slowly rose.
It was truly strange.
He didn’t need sleep or rest. Then why was he lying on the ground like this?
“Why was I lying down?”
The woman looked at him with a puzzled expression.
“Don’t you remember? You covered my eyes and suddenly collapsed.”
“A bit hazy.”
The Demon King frowned. The throbbing headache wasn’t pleasant. He couldn’t remember the last time he felt this… human-like pain.
“Shall we go back to the castle?”
The Demon King nodded. There was nowhere else to go.
Leaving the altar with the still-embedded sword behind, they returned to the castle.
“I thought about it before, but it’s really the same.”
The woman exclaimed sincerely.
“What is?”
“The castle I used to live in.”
She gestured around.
“Except for a few decorations and furniture, it’s almost the same castle.”
“It used to be where humans lived.”
Information naturally spilled from the Demon King’s lips.
“But it’s probably not the same place where you lived.”
“Of course! The lands are entirely different.”
“I didn’t mean it that way.”
Again, an odd sensation enveloped him.
As if he had had a similar conversation with someone before…
But the Demon King didn’t consider this strange feeling too important.
‘It’s all because of this woman.’
From start to finish, everything was bizarre, and both he and she kept reacting strangely.
Then it happened.
Gurgle.
A strange sound came from the woman’s stomach. Although he wasn’t human, the Demon King learned that it meant she was hungry.
“Do you want to go back to the castle?”
“Sure.”
The Demon King nodded. There was nowhere else to go.
They headed back to the castle, leaving the embedded sword behind.
Not long after, there was a crackling sound, and flames flickered. The Demon King furrowed his brow.
“Did you use magic in my castle?”
“Why? Is it not allowed?”
“…There’s nothing that isn’t allowed.”
After all, now the Demon King was the only demon left. He had eliminated all the demons that once filled the castle, including those who had faithfully served him.
In this vast world, the only one choosing to stay by his side was this woman.
“…So that’s why.”
Suddenly, the Demon King realized.
Why he kept this woman by his side.
In reality, he willingly accepted her strange and unconditional affection and attention.
So, he let her freely roam the castle, waving her wand and doing whatever she pleased, without kicking her out or treating her like a mad person.
The Demon King looked at the woman who was boiling something in a pot and asked, “You said you fell in love at first sight.”
“Yes.”
“What was the reason?”
It was pure curiosity. Falling in love at first sight with a demon’s face was undoubtedly a strange thing. Of course, this woman was clearly insane, so it might not be that unusual, but…
“You’re handsome.”
The woman answered in a tone as if it was the most natural thing to ask.
“I fell in love because you’re handsome. Is that not allowed?”
“…”
“And the more I stayed by your side, the more I fell in love. You even said you would sacrifice yourself even though there’s an easy way to sacrifice me. I like sacrificial people.”
“…”
Listening to her, it didn’t sound that strange.
Appearance was a matter of personal taste, and maybe she genuinely liked his face.
Moreover, his actions were indeed sacrificial.
It was a conclusion reached simply because he couldn’t find any other reason to live.
“…Couldn’t find any other reason to live? Me?”
For a moment, a shiver ran down his spine.
In the midst of shivering, the Demon King realized.
Now he had a reason to live, even if it was this strange woman blabbering all sorts of weird things.
While the woman sang a little tune, polishing an old plate until it gleamed, the Demon King stared at her intently.
This time, a sensation he seemed to feel for the first time since his birth enveloped his chest.
A warm and fuzzy feeling that seemed to well up.
The Demon King decided to name that sensation love.
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
