TN: This might be confusing. The point of view changes randomly each time so sometimes Yoidel will be referred to as a female when it’s her point of view and a male when it’s Ulysses’ point of view due to him not being aware.
When I opened my eyes, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling.
That’s a lie.
When I opened my eyes, I saw an unfamiliar deathbed, and it was greeting me.
‘Hi, you’re going to face the death penalty and you’re going to be tied up here.’
Like this.
Boom! Boom boom!
It’s no use knocking on the bars. But strangers looked at me with troubled eyes.
“We have 30 minutes until the execution. May God bless you in your next life, Yoidel.”
“So I’m not Yo-idel!”
“You won’t be commuted even if you pretend to lose your memory. Please be quiet!”
“I can’t help you, but tell me if there’s anything you want to eat. His Holiness has granted you that kind of mercy.”
“He’s doing a favor to such a terrible criminal. Alas, he is worthy of a great place.”
I was about to cry at the derogatory words that presented, but I held back.
“It’s a misunderstanding! I really didn’t attack the Holy Father. Because I….”
“Ha, are you saying that again?”
Having heard the tearful cries about a hundred times, the judges shook their heads firmly. Their eyes were as cold as a huge ice wall.
“Everyone begs for help right before execution.”
“Yes! You understand me, don’t you?”
“But life and death are inevitable. You have to have a humble mind that is obedient to life.”
They prayed as if they were bowing down in front of the altar, and they resolutely turned their backs on me.
“Do I look like I’d ever think that? Hey! Hey! Don’t go!”
“You don’t have much time left. May the blessing be with you.”
Bang!
The iron door closed and I remained alone in the dark. It was perfect solitude.
“What can I do if it’s not really Yoidel…… Whoo.”
I sobbed silent tears while looking at my shackled wrist.
It was unfair and frustrating, but I couldn’t explain it, so it was crazy. I just woke up after a normal rest, and somehow I looked like this.
I had a hobby.
Late at night, reading fantasy novels and sleeping.
The same was true of the novel I read a while ago.
The life story of a benevolent and gentle male protagonist with both face and ability.
It was a fantasy without romance.
The male protagonist who was the owner of the Holy Land. It was a great joy and excitement to encounter the world in the fantasy.
How excited I was to see his ability.
Yeah, but who said I wanted to come in this body? That was a bad guy!
“I can’t believe I’m Yoidel.”’
Among the countless villains, the extra called ‘Yoidel’ was a little unusual. Because she was a stalker-like figure who loved prosperity and a woman who had been dressed as a man.
The fact is revealed only after execution.
“I don’t want to die… I’m scared.”
I crouched down and looked at the pool of water on one side of the prison.
As the sun shone down from a small window with a view of the faraway deathbed, my figure was reflected in the puddle.
Brilliantly beautiful pink hair, venomous red eyes. It was the appearance of Yoidel in the novel.
‘If I meet the male lead, maybe he’ll listen to me’
If this was the story I had read, and if only I could meet the male protagonist in the novel, I would beg.
Wouldn’t the male protagonist, the owner of this holy land, think twice if I was expressed in a benevolent and warm light?
No, who’s gonna help the guy who tried to hurt him?’
I’ll probably be treated like a madman.
Now I was in prison for attempting to kill him. What the hell did Yoidel do?
30 minutes left. The time remaining until death was drawing nearer. There was no more time to think.
At this rate, I’m really going to die.
“Oh, yeah!”
I suddenly recalled the words I had heard earlier. He said it was a mercy.
Once again, bang! I called a man with a steel bar.
“I have something I want to eat.”
“What?”
“If I can’t avoid execution, I’ll accept it. Let me have my last meal instead.”
It was a lie. I didn’t mean to accept such a fate. However, I needed a moment to open the door and escape while he was careless.
“Get ready, please. We’re running out of time.”
I made up my mind.
If I’m gonna die anyway, I’m gonna escape and die.
━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━
Squeak-
A few minutes later, the bleak prison door opened with an old whistle.
A guard came into Yoidel’s prison with a tray.
He felt strange. It was noisy with a howling sound before, but why is it so quiet?
The moment the guard realized the feeling…
Hit!
A sharp black shadow hit his chin.
“Argh!”
Drop!
In the mess where both the tray and the plate fell and smashed, there was a black shadow with rough breathing. The identity was Yoidel.
“Oh, my God…. Phew!”
I’m sure he fell down perfectly, right?
Grasping my small heart, I swung my toes in front of the fallen man. Still, he didn’t get up.
“Oh no, I really did it.”
My voice trembled. Half of it was fear, and the other half was the joy of being able to escape.
I cut the wrist rope with the guard’s sword and put her finger on his nose. Fortunately, there was still breathing. It was a simple fainting spell, so he can wake up in no time.
“I’m so sorry. I’m truly sorry. But I want to live very, very much. I hope you get well soon!”
I repeatedly bowed my head and apologized to the man who had already fainted.
It was the first time in my life that I’ve ever hurt anyone. I’ve never even stepped on an ant because my will was small before, but I can’t believe I’ve done such a great thing.
I did it myself and couldn’t believe it.
However, extreme choices are also possible in the face of death.
I apologized deeply, but I didn’t regret knocking him down.
Because I wanted to live like that. Very eagerly.
He newly opened the door to the passage, confirming his desire to survive. The outside of the prison was also as dark and damp as the inside.
“No, how can you escape!”
Bang!
I was startled by an unfamiliar voice and threw the iron door wide open.
So I knocked down another guard. The heavy iron gate was perfect for killing half a man.
“I’m so sorry! I’m sorry!”
I repeatedly apologized, horrified that I had hurt two people.
Then I dragged the two fainting men along and laid them side by side in the hallway. I’m so gentle that some people might think I was a sweet lover.
“If I do this, they’ll be able to find them soon.”
Feeling proud in a strange direction, I wiped away the running sweat.
I turned away, hoping that they would not be hit by memory loss or other problems.
And ran like crazy.
I don’t know the way, so let’s go to a place with bright lights. To the opposite of a dark prison.
“Okay, just look forward and run forward.’
I whispered to myself and ran like a four-legged beast, killing my footsteps.
Sweat poured out like rain and the front of my eyes became cloudy, and to make matters worse, even people wearing white new crowns could be seen nearby.
As time went by, I realized that this was not a dream.
In crowded places, I stuck to the wall and walked on my tiptoes. However, my heart was about to explode with anxiety that even the sound of breathing and heartbeat could be detected.
“Yoidel has run away! Hold it!”
“That way!”
As soon as I tried to relax a little, the prison quickly became noisy. Someone just noticed my escape.
No, I couldn’t be so frustrated.
I walked along the light again with my loose legs. When I reached the end, I went down the underground waterway.
By the time the awful smell came out, I could see a bright light pouring in. It was a door to go outside.
With a thud.
As I pushed through the door, I saw a dazzling sight.
A very different space than before.
A huge dome-shaped roof made of ceilings and glass so high that twenty stacked people could not reach it.
It was a castle that was so vast that even if you turn your head around, you wouldn’t be able to tell the end, and you could feel the magnificent and noble energy. If there was a real treasure palace in the fantasy, it would be right here.
Is this the Holy Palace?
The palace was at the center of the temple of the Holy Land. The place where the male protagonist usually stays.
“I heard a strange noise over there! Find it!”
“Huh? But over there…….”
There was no time to admire. A voice came looking for me was close by.
I have to run away. I went down the stairs to the basement as far as I could see.
I felt like I was going to cry from the wounds of my legs and hands, but I couldn’t cry yet.
I ran out, chewing my lips. Then I reached a certain space. It was a place full of bookshelves.
Is it a library? I went inside and looked around.
A labyrinth of bookshelves. I’m sure it’s hard to find over there. I went in at once and examined the sounds around me.
“Phew….”
Fortunately, they didn’t seem to follow me all the way here. The moment I moved further in, my foot caught on the hem of my long dress.
“Oh, my god!”
Puck, when Yoidel’s body hit the bookshelf.
Kurrung!
The hand-held bookshelf began to turn slowly with a heavy sound. Slowly, round and round with the floor carrying the fallen Yoidel.
When the bookshelf turned completely, a secret space that had never been seen before was opened.
As soon as I discovered it, I felt a distant and eerie unrealistic energy as if billions of years had passed.
Another huge library in front of me. A secret office space that looked exactly like a library.
There was a man.
A silver-haired man with a beautiful figure like an angel.
‘…blood?
The man standing proudly as if he were the owner of this cold space, and the scene behind him.
Dozens of horses and human corpses were piled up.
The incredible sight choked me. I wasn’t strangled, but I couldn’t even breathe with overwhelming energy.
Why did I come here? I escaped death and came into more danger.
My arms trembled uncontrollably. I couldn’t even get my body up.
It was a time when I was scared.
“There was a rat.”
A soft, low voice was heard.
The man in the distance gradually approached me. The walk was elegant and beautiful, but at the same time scary.
He swung his sword into the air and flicked off drops of blood easily. Of course it wasn’t his blood.
His face was irritated as if the splashing blood drops were filthy. But the sword still had a lot of blood on it.
“Did you see it?”
He sighed for a moment and spoke softly.
“I asked if you saw it.”
“What? Oh, no. I didn’t see anything.”
“…what did you not see?”
The face of the approaching man was clearly visible. It was a sophisticated and sharp appearance as if it was modeled after the moon in the night sky.
Then, his eyes narrowed beautifully. It was a man with an incredibly ecstatic appearance.
He bent down and grabbed her chin lightly, and straightened his cold gaze down.
The smile cooled at once.
“You saw it.”
