Lv.99 Princess of Dark Flames (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 6
Back in the hut, Eun Ha carefully inspected her loot—the ‘Jet Black Silk Dress’.
One layer of mesh, one layer of black silk. The dress, composed of two layers total, puffed out into a rounded umbrella-like silhouette even without a petticoat.
At her chest sat a single black rose corsage. At the back of her waist hung a long black ribbon. The faintly shimmering translucent fabric draped over her shoulders like a shawl.
“Hmm.”
Deep furrows creased Eun Ha’s brow, as thick as the depth of her worry.
Thinking back, Eun Ha had worn only school uniforms until high school and nothing but military fatigues since conscription—she’d never properly worn even a simple dress, let alone an ornate one. No wonder this extravagantly flamboyant gown felt so burdensome.
Moreover, she wondered whether it was even feasible to fight while wearing something so excessively elaborate.
‘But still… like the parasol, this dress must surely have some worthwhile use.’
After all, loot was loot. It couldn’t be entirely without value.
Besides, the military uniform Eun Ha was wearing had gone far too long without washing and now emitted a rather lethal stench. It was torn in many places too. While her body could be healed with self-recovery and emergency kits, her clothes could not.
Resolutely, Eun Ha swiftly stripped off her uniform. Then, carefully lifting the dress, she began putting it on bit by bit.
“…”
Soon, dressed in the gown, Eun Ha stood quietly in place.
The feel of the black silk against her skin wasn’t unpleasant. Yet, fabric this thin and delicate would surely be torn to shreds by monster claws without mercy.
Her uniform at least had minimal special coating—but this… Eun Ha’s gaze toward the dress was displeased.
[The Divine Beast ‘Wandering Cat of Darkness’ looks at you with a deeply moved expression.] [Nodding firmly:] “Of course! My sister looks best in a dress!”The dimly flickering campfire cast light upon her face. Eun Ha stared blankly at her reflection in the puddle.
‘…Do I really look good in this?’
Her skin had always been fair, but having gone so long without sunlight, it had grown pale. Her untended black hair had already grown down to her waist.
Added to that were scabs and fresh cuts scattered across her elbows, knees, cheeks—everywhere.
Combined with Eun Ha’s appearance, the black dress, and even her black parasol, she resembled a vampire straight out of a ghost story.
But anyway.
…
Why was it that nothing happened even after putting on the dress?
‘Perhaps it only activates under special circumstances?’
Eun Ha lifted the hem of the dress and even spun around once in place.
“…”
Surprisingly, absolutely nothing occurred.
Just then, her stomach growled. Eun Ha decided to put aside her contemplation of the dress for now and fill her stomach first.
After all, the most efficient way to restore stamina was simply to eat well and sleep well.
Eun Ha checked the innards of the monster she’d caught yesterday. After verifying they were sufficiently dried, she gathered them together and lit a campfire.
Placing an appropriately sized stone over the fire and laying the separated meat upon it, a delicious sizzling sound arose.
“…Tch.”
Despite the promising sound, the taste, as expected, was unpleasant.
She should have grown used to it by now, yet the occasional wave of nausea was unavoidable.
The moment she swiftly wiped her mouth with her sleeve, a yellow message window popped up.
[The Divine Beast ‘Wandering Cat of Darkness’ cautiously extends a paw.] [Congratulations! You have obtained ‘Fine-Grained Salt’!]Accompanied by a brief, boisterous fanfare, something dropped right before her eyes. Inside a small glass vial was a white powder, presumably salt.
With salt, this nauseating meat might become somewhat edible.
“Thank you.”
She’d never imagined a Divine Beast could be useful in such ways. Just as she happily seasoned the meat and was about to take a bite—
[The Divine Beast ‘Wandering Cat of Darkness’ rummages through its fur.] [Congratulations! You have obtained ‘Fragrant Black Pepper’!]Even pepper?
She wasn’t sure if that cat was truly one of the Twelve Divine Beasts, but it was undeniably helpful in many ways.
‘If it’s offered, there’s no harm in accepting it.’
Pepper was perfect for masking the gamey smell. Eun Ha brought the pepper shaker over the salted meat.
[The Divine Beast ‘Wandering Cat of Darkness’ taps its paw once more, urging you to wait just a moment!]
“Enough already.”
Let’s just eat first. Eun Ha firmly pressed the ‘Close’ button on the yellow message window. Immediately afterward, another message popped up.
[The Divine Beast ‘Wandering Cat of Darkness’ peeks around, carefully gauging your mood.] [It confidently pitches:] “If you’re not satisfied, we also have ketchup or mayonnaise ready!”…It had been a long time since her meal was this chaotic.
A few days later, the gate reset once again.
[Lv.30 ‘Black Tiger with Red Eyes’ lets out a suspicious cry.]One.
[Lv.30 ‘Black Tiger with Red Eyes’ is struck with fear.]Two.
[Lv.30 ‘Black Tiger with Red Eyes’ reveals its black claws.]Three.
…
[Lv.30 ‘Black Tiger with Red Eyes’ gathers its last strength and charges at you.]—And seventeen in total.
The battle lasted longer than expected, but it wasn’t a major issue.
Thanks to the insights she’d gained over the past few days regarding the dress and parasol.
The powerful parasol was obviously invaluable, and the seemingly useless ‘Jet Black Silk Dress’ turned out incredibly sturdy despite its lightness—sturdier than any armor, even impervious to those monsters’ claws.
Additionally, Eun Ha’s explosive growth owed much to her Divine Beast contract.
The ability ‘Cat’s Claws’ was a passive skill that added sharp afterimages to all of Eun Ha’s attacks, dealing extra damage.
Eun Ha could now eliminate monsters far more easily than before.
She swung her parasol without dodging the monster charging straight at her.
Crack!
With a dull thud, the monster launched into the air and literally ‘disintegrated mid-air’.
[Monster exterminated!] [Exit activated.]…
…
[Warning: Unknown error occurred.] [Resetting gate.]“Haa… haa…”
Eun Ha’s shoulders heaved heavily up and down. Though she’d grown incomparably stronger than before, she was still human, and her stamina had its limits.
For several hours already, Eun Ha had been relentlessly smashing monsters without rest. As a result, she achieved the remarkable feat of completely clearing every monster in the gate in less than a day.
Eun Ha slowly lifted her head. The black gleam previously hidden in shadow now sharply revealed itself.
She bent her upper body to pick up the parasol that had fallen to the ground, then walked slowly toward the mountain of monster corpses piled behind her.
Worried for her, a yellow message window popped up.
[The Divine Beast ‘Wandering Cat of Darkness’ gently taps you with pink jelly, signaling it’s enough.]Eun Ha didn’t even glance at the yellow message window; she kept walking, eyes fixed solely ahead.
Soon, she reached the pile of monster corpses and gripped the parasol tightly with both hands.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
Blood splattered in all directions, blooming crimson flowers across her black dress.
The already-dead monsters were dismembered one by one—arms severed, legs torn off. Chunks of their severed muscle dangled limply from the tip of her parasol.
“Scum like you don’t even deserve to leave corpses behind.”
Her flat, low voice quietly reverberated through the cave. The sensation of slicing flesh was vivid at her fingertips—a feeling now more familiar than holding a pencil.
Thud. Something dropped at Eun Ha’s feet.
The wish bracelet.
Seeing the bracelet, so helplessly snapped by a Lv.30 monster during battle, Eun Ha’s dark eyes flickered once more.
‘I’ll sever your limbs and even your blood vessels just the same.’
[Warning: ‘Black Flame Princess’s ‘Elegant Parasol’ has low durability. Repair required.]Without hesitation, Eun Ha hurled the parasol away. Clatter… Instead of the limp-flying parasol, she picked up a nearby stone.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
She stabbed, sliced, and crushed.
Even the cat fell silent, unable to utter another word at the sight of her frenzied back.
The cruel, sadistic rampage only ended when she reduced the monsters to ash with flames.
Because of it, not a single piece of meat remained for dinner—but she didn’t care.
Eun Ha rummaged through her pockets with blood-stained hands.
Seeing the broken wish bracelet again, fresh rage surged violently within her.
Back in the hut, Eun Ha searched for her emergency kit without even wiping the blood splatters from her face.
With hands caked in dried blood, she pulled out medical thread and a needle, then carefully began stitching the bracelet.
She’d done her best to provide emergency treatment, but using such inappropriate tools inevitably limited how much she could restore the bracelet.
Without even eating, Eun Ha leaned against the hut’s inner wall, tightly clutching the wish bracelet in both hands, and slowly closed her eyes.
‘Mom! Look! I made this.’
‘Wow! My Eun Ha knows how to make something like this?’
‘Yeah. The teacher taught me. I’m giving it to you, Mom. It’s a wish bracelet, so it’ll grant your wish.’
‘Really? Okay. Then will Eun Ha put it on for me?’
With her small, chubby hands, Eun Ha tied a clumsy knot around her mother’s wrist.
‘Mom, what did you wish for?’
‘Hmm… Mom wished—’
At that moment…
What had her mother wished for again?
Time passed, and Eun Ha awoke from a light sleep. Rubbing her eyes unconsciously, she quickly realized the bracelet was gone and snapped fully awake.
Tumbling upright, Eun Ha began frantically searching her surroundings.
Before long, she found the bracelet lying undisturbed in a corner of the hut.
‘I almost lost it.’
Relief flickered in her eyes, which had sharpened moments before.
The instant she clutched the bracelet, Eun Ha realized it had been fully restored.
“…”
Of course, it wasn’t Eun Ha who had repaired it. And certainly not a monster.
She stared blankly at the bracelet for a long while right where she stood.
‘…Cat.’
A brief silence passed.
Ding.
[The Divine Beast ‘Wandering Cat of Darkness’ steps lightly upon your shadow.]“…Did you do this?”
[The Divine Beast ‘Wandering Cat of Darkness’ nods up and down.]Eun Ha, who had been gazing at the bracelet with an unreadable expression, suddenly lifted her head and spoke toward the yellow message window.
“…Thank you.”
Eun Ha tightly gripped the wish bracelet with her scarred hands.
[The Divine Beast ‘Wandering Cat of Darkness’ perks up its ears joyfully.]Seemingly overjoyed at hearing Eun Ha’s thanks, the yellow message window happily wiggled and danced.
Eun Ha carefully fastened the restored bracelet onto her left wrist, making sure to tie a firm knot so it wouldn’t be lost or accidentally broken again.
[Golden eyes sparkle like stars. It looks extremely happy.]Suddenly, Eun Ha’s body glowed faintly. Warm rays of light cleanly wiped away the bloodstains from her face, hands, and dress.
[The Divine Beast ‘Wandering Cat of Darkness’ smiles contentedly.]A faint smile spread across Eun Ha’s lips as she gazed at the yellow message window. Though she couldn’t see the cat, she somehow felt their eyes had met.
Time flowed slowly, yet never stopped.
The cat, once viewed with suspicion, had unexpectedly become an incredible ally—and her only friend in this sealed space.
Even when facing death,
[The Divine Beast ‘Wandering Cat of Darkness’ presses firmly on your stomach.]Even when resting in the hut,
[The Divine Beast ‘Wandering Cat of Darkness’ nuzzles your ankle.]Even when occasionally sharing old stories, Eun Ha and the cat were always together.
Perhaps it was just her imagination, but the closer she grew to the cat, the easier combat became. Or maybe it was simply that enough time had passed.
The surprisingly versatile ‘Elegant Parasol’, the ‘Jet Black Silk Dress’ that greatly reduced damage, and the cat’s ‘Authority’ all proved immensely helpful in battle.
[Third Named defeated!] [Congratulations! You have obtained ‘Black Flame Princess’s ‘Black Rose Pendant’!]…
[Fourth Named defeated!] [Congratulations! You have obtained ‘Black Flame Princess’s ‘Thorn Heels’!]Thanks to this, battles against the third and fourth Named ended more cleanly than expected.
Eun Ha listed the four pieces of loot she’d gathered so far.
First loot: Elegant Parasol.
Second loot: Jet Black Silk Dress.
Third loot: Black Rose Pendant.
Fourth loot: Thorn Heels.
‘Now only one remains.’
Once she obtained that—
Eun Ha fiddled with her loot, her face flushed with anticipation.
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
