I muttered blankly, staring at the spot where Sedric disappeared.
In disbelief, I just stood there, and then a strange sensation made me look up.

The letters above my head began to wriggle around.
“……?”
As the letters jumbled in confusion, a series of red letters, similar to those I had seen above Anselot’s head, were imprinted boldly.
“……!”
[Shock! Bu, bu, bu, bug is…!]The system window screamed silently in surprise.
“Ugh…!”
I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my heart and collapsed.
[Pl, player? Are you okay? Player…!] [SYSTEM] Adjusting due to sudden bug! [SYSTEM] Adjusting due to sudden bug! [No, no! The playe-ni……]With a crackling sound, the system window flickered out.
“Ugh, Huhuhuk…”
An unfamiliar, excruciating pain seemed to burn my heart.
As I lay on the ground, struggling to hold on, tears blurred my vision.
“Kuh, ugh…”
Trying to say something, only a pained groan escaped my constricted throat.
In the midst of my suffering and gasping for air…
Shhh―
A cold metallic string touched my skin, soothing the burning agony.
Struggling to raise my head, I saw Anselot crouching in front of me, calmly looking at me.
“It’s okay.”
He reached out and cradled my cheek. His cool thumb wiped away my hot tears.
“An, Anselot…?”
“The pain is gone now, Your Highness.”
His soft voice worked like a spell, and the pain gradually disappeared.
My breath, which had been ragged, slowly eased.
“Can you stand?”
“…….”
Without my response, he assumed and slipped his hands under my arms to lift me up.
The spot where the intense pain had been was now replaced by a cold emptiness.
Shivering as if chilled to the bone, Anselot draped his uniform over me.
I bit my lower lip and clutched the fluttering hem of his uniform.
Lowering my gaze, I saw the red pendant hanging around my neck.
The cold metal string that had touched my skin must have been this pendant.
I looked up again at Anselot.
“What just happened…?”
“The system cannot tolerate an entity that deviates from its order,” Anselot explained, his face devoid of its usual playful smile.
“But you were fine,” I recalled the moments Anselot revealed his existence. Despite declaring himself a bug, he showed no signs of pain.
“Maybe because I’ve gotten used to it?” Anselot’s voice lifted slightly at the end before he let out a small laugh. However, I couldn’t laugh along.
“Gotten used to it? You mean, accustomed to that kind of pain just now…?”
“Don’t ever remove this necklace,” Anselot interrupted, tapping the red jewel hanging around my neck. “It will shield you from the system’s eyes,” he pointed up at my head.

The letters above my head had returned to their original form.
“What is this necklace, anyway?”
“It’s the heart of the Light Dragon.”
Anselot’s tone was as mundane as if he were reciting a lunch menu.
“Well, half of a heart, to be precise.”
“……”
I held my breath for a moment, staring at the red jewel hanging from my neck.
‘This jewel… is the heart of the Light Dragon?’
I had thought it was no ordinary item, but its unexpected nature left me feeling hollow.
“The Dark God Nox, who lost his deity due to the trickery of the Light God Lus, became the Light Dragon Helheim.”
“That’s impossible. There’s no such thing as a Dark God…”
Pause.
Challenging Anselot’s words, I blinked, struck by a familiar feeling.
‘This… it’s from that pseudo bible I read earlier.’
Anselot continued in a calm voice.
“This half-heart contains the strong power of Helheim, who once stood up to the Light God. That’s why it can evade the system’s eyes.”
“……”
“And simultaneously, this red jewel is the only weapon that can kill the Light Dragon.”
“It’s absurd. The only weapon that can kill the Light Dragon is the dragon’s heart itself.”
Anselot met my gaze and smiled warmly.
“Acquiring the entire heart of the dragon will grant you much greater power.”
“……”
“And perhaps, even shatter the system. This world’s order.”
His words about dismantling the system sounded temptingly like a siren’s call.
I glanced up at my head again.
The golden name tag, affirming my status as a player, still shone brightly above me.
But the moment I remove this necklace, that name will turn into ominous red numbers.
I wanted to escape the life of a player, but now I am burdened with the life of a bug.
Perhaps, as Anselot said, defeating the Light Dragon might be the only way to break free from the system.
“But I don’t even know how to use this power. And it’s uncertain if I can really kill the Light Dragon.”
Anselot, sensing my hesitation, reassured me in a gentle voice.
“I’ll protect you.”
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:
