Before the reception room door closed, I heard Dechain’s faint voice.
“A oneonone?”
Huh?
Lost one, won one?
Then it means a draw…
It wasn’t the score of a match, I couldn’t understand what he meant.
I thought about the word that I didn’t understand and soon erased it from my mind.
The relationship between Askan and Dechain seemed better than I thought.
[This is the time separator]I received the note and things Jelini brought from Brelloff’s house.
It was when I was carefully examining the research Tanashia from the original had done on Askan to study a new magic stone.
“I also, I also want to have the ability.”
The memory that the original Tanashia had momentarily passed through my mind.
It felt completely different from just reading the novel “The Beloved Saint”. It felt as vivid as recalling something I had done in the past.
“If I had a special ability… How great would it be if everyone looked up to me?”
The emotions of Tanashia at that time were transmitted directly.
Resentment and anger, and the desire to be recognized, etc.
The dark and damp emotions that Tanashia had before were transmitted directly, making my head feel slightly dizzy.
‘Ah, I can’t adapt to this no matter how much I experience it.’
Memories of the original Tanashia sprang up here and there, and I felt like I was gradually becoming her.
At first, it seemed like I entered the character named Tanashia, now it feels like my existence is becoming Tanashia, right?
It felt as if she was me, and I was her.
Memory was a remarkable thing. The things that the original Tanashia experienced, and the emotions at that time, were not felt as others because they were directly transmitted.
It felt like looking into another side of me inside.
‘You’re really a fool.’
It was a word to the original Tanashia, but it was also a word to me.
She envied Noxia’s beautiful appearance and the ability to control water, and she didn’t value her talent at all.
Only the things Noxia had were considered the best, so she was desperate for magical talent and easily ignored her genius.
But looking at my situation now, I could tell how wrong the original Tanashia’s thinking was.
I was recognized as a genius in the field of magic engineering and participated in the academic festival, and I didn’t walk in hell comparing Noxia and myself anymore.
‘You should know how to cherish what you have.’
It was an emotion I realized only after dying once and waking up, but life was only once.
The time was not enough even for me to live for myself.
There was no need to be trapped in the eyes of others and prejudices. I had to strive to listen to my voice and live the way I want.
‘I can’t forgive all the wrong things you’ve done so far, but let’s try to avoid a miserable end like in the novel from now on.’
I was looking at the research records about Askan that the original Tanashia had written with her eyes and thought.
‘We’re going to join forces to create a new ending.’
It felt strange as if I was talking to myself, but it was true that Tanashia now felt like a part of me.
That’s when it happened.
One part of the note caught my eye.
[The most critical part of the tattoo engraved on Askan’s back is this.]What was written below was ancient letters.
I quickly unfolded the paper that I copied exactly by looking at Askan’s back. The same characters as written in the notebook were there too.
The meaning of the ancient letters was as follows.
[Unextinguishing flame.]Something struck my head.
The magic stone was literally a stone naturally filled with magic.
The hypothesis I set up was this: What would happen if, like creating human weapons, magic power was artificially given to a stone?
Ancient languages and geometric magic symbols were etched onto Askan’s back. It was impossible to incorporate all of them, but the ancient language left by Tanashia in the original work provided a clue.
“Should I carve this ancient language into a stone?”
It was packed with things that couldn’t be known yet, like what phenomenon would appear, how different it would be from an ordinary magic stone.
But his heart throbbed with the new discovery. Every time this happened, he couldn’t help but feel anew that he had become a genius.
“First, I need a stone.”
It had to be a stone of moderate size, not too small, and not too large.
For subsequent precise experiments, it needed to be fitted into a magic engineering weapon, but if the stone was too large, it wouldn’t fit into smaller weapons like K01.
Therefore, he had to find a stone as similar as possible in size to an ordinary magic stone.
He hastily looked around the lab, but there was no chance a stone rolling around in the forest would be inside the lab.
He casually looked at the clock, and it was already late evening.
At this hour, Jellin and Askan should be resting, and he felt a little sorry to call them and abruptly ask them to bring a stone.
More than anything, since he needed a stone of the size he wanted, there was a high chance he wouldn’t like it even if someone else brought it.
“I’ll have to look for it myself.”
Fortunately, the lab was located in a secluded outskirts.
Since there was a dense forest and a back mountain just a short walk away, it seemed not difficult to find a small stone.
With this resolve, he quickly headed out of the lab. He wanted to start the experiment as soon as possible, so he couldn’t help but hurry.
However, contrary to his expectation, it wasn’t easy to find a stone of the right size.
First of all, it was dark because the sun had set.
It was too dark as he moved away from the lab because it was in a deserted place.
“Ah, this isn’t it either.”
He looked at the stone he barely found and threw it away because he didn’t like it.
“It’s this hard to find a stone. I’ll have to prepare some in advance.”
As he bent down and searched for the fallen stones, he noticed that the faint light of the lab seemed to be quite far away.
But now that he had come this far, he couldn’t go back without any results.
“Where is it……”
That’s when he was wandering the forest depending on the faint moonlight.
He saw plenty of stones of the size he wanted in the distance.
“I found it!”
He joyfully rushed over and grasped a stone in his hand.
At that moment.
Splash, his leg fell into the water.
“Huh?”
He looked around belatedly and realized it was a valley.
It was midnight and dark, so he hadn’t noticed, but it seemed there were many stones around because it was near a flowing valley.
He found the stone of the size he was looking for, but when he was staring at the water in a daze, soaked to the skin all of a sudden.
“Tanashia?”
He turned his head at the familiar voice.
A figure stood in the dark valley where only the moonlight was everything. Looking closely at the other party, he was shocked and stiffened.
It was Decain.
Was Decain bathing in this valley, or he was looking at him from the water without anything on his upper body.
“You, you……!”
He couldn’t spit out the words asking what he was doing here.
Right now, he couldn’t see the mask that covered Decain’s face in his eyes.
He knew it because it was described as a beauty beyond women in the novel, but the beauty of Decain he saw for the first time was dazzling.
‘Wait a minute,’
─Egteon’s top deals with several countries, so it’s a rule to wear a mask on your face to avoid exposing your safety and identity.
─So, you can’t show your face to anyone?
─No, only until you become an adult who can protect yourself. And you can show it to the woman you love. Because she’s going to be a family anyway.
In the original work, Decain only showed his face to Noksiah before he became an adult.
But he was seeing Decain’s face right now.
‘Isn’t this wrong?’
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
