“Where has that damn brat hidden?”
Whistle, a playful whistling sound spread on the wind.
As the coarse and husky voices of several men, chuckling among themselves, drew nearer, the tense boy swallowed his dry saliva.
“Come on out, cute little one, don’t bother the uncles any more.”
“You can’t run anymore. If you come out when asked nicely, you might get hit one less time.”
Damn it.
For the moment, the boy cursed softly, assessing his surroundings.
Although the distance from them was still quite far, in the forest where the excessively large trees were densely packed, there was not a single bush where his small body could hide.
The number of men chasing him was six.
With an injured leg, moving at a fast pace was impossible.
In the end, the best the boy could do in this situation was to hide behind the trees, out of sight, and escape that way.
‘Damn. The moonlight is too bright.’
The boy looked up at the night sky with resentful eyes.
Until just yesterday, the sky had been cloudy, as if it would pour rain, but now there was a dazzling full moon instead of dark clouds.
The bright moon, flaunting its light as if in mockery, seemed to be laughing at him.
You will never be free, it seemed to whisper.
‘If I’m caught by them, I’ll have to live as a slave for the rest of my life.’
The Venian boy had been pursued by someone since birth.
The rarity of being a Venian, mainly used as a magical experiment subject, made him prime prey for demon hunters out for money.
Humans treated the Venian as monsters and persecuted them, so they had no place to set foot anywhere on the continent.
‘I must get away from the hunters.’
If I stay still like this, I’ll be caught soon.
I must move, even a little…
“Damn. My leg…”
What had been dismissed as a simple sprain was apparently more severe.
The injured area had swollen to the size of a fist, and it seemed that there might be something wrong with the bone, judging by the abnormal angle.
Groaning softly, the boy struggled to his feet, dragging his injured leg along the rugged forest path.
But in addition to his injury, he had been starving for three days now, so his body didn’t move as he wanted.
Seeing the flickering of the crimson torches getting dangerously close, the boy gripped the dagger at his waist with a pale face.
A relic left to him by his mother who passed away years ago.
“Raven. You must survive. Live on behalf of your mother too.”
“Mother…”
“Don’t hate humans. Half of your blood is the same as theirs. Mine too.”
“…”
“This is the dagger your father gave. Protect yourself with this. I hope my son lives on without losing courage, like I did…”
Is this the result of struggling to live, Mom?
Raven looked down at the dagger engraved with intricate patterns, wearing a somber expression.
It was something he had managed to scavenge while escaping the hunters’ camp.
And at this moment, the boy was overwhelmed with an intense urge to stab his own throat with that dagger.
‘…Wouldn’t everything be easier if I just died?’
After his mother passed away, Raven, alone in the Black Forest, had successfully found a village where Venians lived.
It was a place where the descendants of the fairy tribe used to hide, a very hard place to find, suitable for those whose lives were threatened.
But just as Raven was getting used to village life, hunters attacked, and his kin were scattered or killed.
An old man even used the boy as bait and ran away himself.
That was why Raven had been captured without being able to escape.
‘I’m sick of everything now.’
Both the endless running and hurting others, and being hurt, just to live.
For young Raven, each of these was an unbearable burden.
‘Maybe this is enough.’
When the sharp end of the dagger he was holding touched the soft flesh between his jaw and neck, it was then.
Suddenly, a burly man appeared from behind and grabbed Raven’s hair, yanking it upward.
“Look at this. Trying to die on his own. You were up to something quite mischievous, weren’t you?”
“Ugh. Let go…!!”
“Ha. You think I would let you go?”
The man who laughed derisively called out loudly to his colleagues, and the remaining five gathered in a rush.
Raven, still a young boy, desperately struggled to escape but was no match.
Overwhelmed by the burly man’s tremendous grip, Raven had to dangle in the air like an object.
“Phew, almost went back emptyhanded.”
“True. Lucky to catch this little one.”
Beastlike bastards.
As Raven spat out a rough curse and glared with contempt, the force in the burly man’s hand holding his head increased.
“You insolent brat. How dare you glare?”
“Hey, stop. Even if he’s a Benian, if he gets a head injury, it’ll be instant death.”
“Still, it’s better to fix bad habits early.”
Thud.
As the burly man’s fist brutally struck his leg, a terrible scream was forced from the boy’s mouth.
He had intentionally targeted the injured side.
“Now that it’s come to this, might as well make sure he can’t walk for a while.”
The man’s lips curled up menacingly.
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.
