Synopsis
I died, crushed by the penalty of my Mythic-ranked skill.
And then—I opened my eyes again, back in the body of a four-year-old child.
[The System has recorded: Harmonia Jee Ellorang’s Unstoppable Misfortune.]
[Your bound skill, ‘Harmonia’s Necklace,’ has been converted into an item.]
My gaze flicked between the glowing message and my reflection in the mirror.
[Quest Triggered!]
[Unlock the Mythic-ranked skill, ‘Harmonia’s Necklace!’ (Time remaining: ???)]
And so, my second life began.
I remembered, and remembered again—
The people who died protecting me.
Their screams. Their pain.
With vengeance against the Lexio Empire burning in my chest, I hunted for a way to unlock my Mythic-ranked skill.
That was when I stumbled across a clue to the thing I had been desperately seeking.
[Guardian of the Hidden Dungeon]
The message floated above the head of an unknown boy.
The Guardian of the Hidden Dungeon—Louisel Tristan.
He became my first knight.
—Why do I belong to you?
Louisel grumbled, lips twitching, his face prim like a sulking cat.
—Do you want me to repeat myself?
—…Yeah. Go ahead.
—Louisel, you’re mine.
—…Then, say that other thing again.
—You’re my first. My very first.
—…Yeah.
But when did that cute boy, Louisel, grow up so much?
—I’m sorry. I told myself not to get jealous—it’s ugly. But everyone likes you. I just… want to be the one you see as the most beautiful.
In this life, I even met a Mythic-ranker I had never encountered before.
—Your Highness, you don’t understand romance. This is something I want to do for you.
And even the Mythic-ranker who once killed me… now stakes his life to protect me.
—You need to stop throwing away your life so easily! If you think it’s worthless, then give it to me! From now on, protect yourself as if your life belongs to me!
—I wasn’t trying to die… You’ve misunderstood. I still want to live. Please… don’t be disappointed in me.
But the System had one more cruel punishment in store.
Failure Penalty: Dimension Annihilation
Can I protect them all this time?
