“That’s different. As the top ranker, I can’t let some no-name scavenger take items from my territory.”
Lude’s voice became thinner and higher. The sound of his footsteps changed from dress shoes to worn-out sneakers.
Soon, ‘Lude’ completely vanished, and in his place stood a short girl with a ponytail.
“Sigh… I’m starting to get tired of this act…”
[Didn’t you enjoy doing this for 6 years? Why complain now, you loved it the most, the Chaos Master asks.]“A notorious male character whose real self is an unemployed high school graduate… I’d die of shame if people found out.”
[No way, our Nari will never get caught, the Chaos Master gives a thumbs up.]“Enough, I want to make a fortune and retire soon…”
The woman in a ‘BS25 Hours’ vest left the abandoned factory and walked down a dark alley. She had lied to a coworker about going to the restroom for a moment, so she needed to hurry back.
World Rank 1, S-Class, the most powerful illusionist, the Lucid Dreamer. Shortened to ‘Lude.’
That was just a side character of Shin Bitnari, a high school graduate and convenience store part-timer.
“That will be 10,400 won. Do you need a bag?”
“No, so you’re saying I should carry all this without a bag?”
“…The bag costs 20 won. Do you have any discounts or points?”
Jerk. Never come back again. Nari beeped the beer cans and snacks through the barcode scanner. While processing the payment, she unfolded a bag and placed the cans inside.
After the payment, Nari would return to the storage to check if any ordered items were missing or if extra items were delivered.
She occasionally entered the cooler to replenish missing beverages. Her shift was from 3 PM to 10 PM, Monday to Friday.
“Nari, have this while you work.”
“Ah… Thank you, boss…!”
Nari bowed her head, gratefully accepting the canned coffee from the manager.
Nari bowed her head respectfully and accepted the canned coffee from the manager.
The elderly manager had been running this convenience store for a very long time. He always made sure to pay Nari her holiday pay on time, even made her a name badge… He was the only one who hired her when everyone else rejected her application, so he was one of the few people Nari truly opened up to. Nari had been a long-term employee for six years now.
“But Nari, was there something going on yesterday?”
“Me? No, nothing…”
“No, I’m asking because Heejin said you suddenly went to the bathroom and were gone for 20 minutes. I was worried.”
“Ah…”
“It was just when that gate, what was it… erupted nearby, and Lude came and cleared it in 20 minutes. You disappeared right at that time, so I was worried if you got caught up in it.”
“Oh, no! At that time, I… What was it… Big… Big Wave, so I was struggling in the bathroom! Because I ate something spicy for lunch…”
“Is that so? That’s a relief. I was really worried.”
At that moment, the small TV attached to the convenience store counter was broadcasting yesterday’s news. It was about a Grade 4 gate that appeared at Seohyeon Station but was quickly cleared by Lude.
In the broadcast, people were being interviewed, most of them expressing gratitude towards Lude and saying they had become his fans.
“Lude, that hunter, he’s that strong?”
“S-class, right? Only five of them in South Korea!”
“I don’t know much about all this. I only learned about constellations and such a few years ago. Maybe I’ve lived too long.”
Nari proudly extended a finger, feeling a flutter of pride, hoping the manager would praise Lude. Even though gates had been around for about 20 years, there were still people who had limited access to hunter information.
“So, the strongest person in the world is Lude! Like the first-class milk!”
“The strongest person is Lude? I thought it was our Hyunie…”
Uh, Nari’s finger shrank back. Kang Hyun, the nation’s top cleric, known as ‘Church Oppa’.
He was the second-ranked hunter in the country, beloved by the whole nation for his kind personality and handsome appearance.
Many people liked Lude, but on the other hand, he was often criticized for his annoying attitude and treating dungeons like his playground.
In a world where hunters have become as famous as celebrities, it was natural for Nari to think such criticism was inevitable.
That was until he saw Kang Hyun.
Everyone liked Kang Hyun. Really, everyone. Unlike Lude, who avoided media and broadcasting exposure, Kang Hyun was more well-known because he appeared more on TV, so most people knew him better than Lude.
Moreover, due to his upright image compared to Lude, he generally seemed more favorable.
‘Even the manager prefers Kang Hyun over Lude…’
[If you lost to a bean, try to work harder, the Chaos Master laughs.]Suddenly, Nari felt a surge of jealousy towards Kang Hyun.
The internet communities were already rife with Lude vs. Kang Hyun battles, but hearing someone prefer Kang Hyun right beside her was more shocking to Nari.
[But Kang Hyun likes you, don’t hate him too much, look at this, the Chaos Master shows an image.]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.
