Chapter 6 It rained for three straight days. During that time, Mia became considerably thinner. But what tormented her wasn't the fear of failing to escape, nor the agonizing wait. “Mister, today is the day I said I was going to escape. Aren’t you really going to wish me luck?” Mia was trying to placate the prisoner in the neighboring cell, who was pressed against the wall so tightly that she couldn't even see his face. He had spent the entire three days desperately trying to dissuade…-

Chapter 5 “What are you talking about, you shriveled-up hag? How would you know?” “I told you, didn’t I? I’m a witch.” Mia smiled brightly for the first time in a while. The boy, who seemed half-convinced and half-doubtful of her words, gradually looked more and more dejected. Goodness, he was so innocent. He really was just a child. “Then… what am I supposed to do about my mom’s present?” “Hmm. Since you’re a good boy, I’ll help you. Here.” Mia slipped the…

Chapter 4 A maid named Sophia entered carrying a towel. Apparently, she had been the winner of the little argument from earlier. Without even glancing at Shuri, Sophia placed the towel on a small wooden stool beside the bathtub. At the same time, she kept stealing glances at Asad’s naked body. A bead of sweat fell from Asad’s black hair onto his face. When he lazily swept his hair back with his long fingers, moisture gathered on his hand as well. Even those beads of sweat looked as…

Chapter 3 ‘I’m going to die of embarrassment…’ Along with the pile of worthless junk inside, Mia’s pride came crashing down onto the floor. A glove Asad had lost at some point. A napkin he had used to wipe his mouth. Even the crumpled pamphlet he had left behind after watching a play. All kinds of miscellaneous objects associated with Asad were overflowing from the box. There appeared to be more than ten pen nibs engraved with the Uliel family crest alone. “What is this?” Asad…

Chapter 2 Just a little while earlier, Lisicha had been sprawled face-down at the foot of the stairs, begging for mercy. The person standing before him was the young and fearsome Imperial executioner, Grand Duke Asad Uliel. Thirty grim-faced guards stood behind him. “Y-Your Grace, please. I beg you to extend the deadline.” Asad approached Lisicha with the light, graceful steps of a swift leopard. He drew the sharp longsword at his waist. Valentina, who had barely managed to remain standing…

Chapter 1 Just a few hours earlier. Mia had been staring at herself in the mirror, smiling the entire time. ‘If this is what possessing someone feels like, I’d do it a hundred times!’ That was Ha-yoon’s first-day impression after possessing the body of an insignificant noble lady named Mia Lisicha. She liked the sandy-colored hair that reached her waist and the lively light-green eyes, but what she liked most were her smooth, petal-like cheeks. The scars on her face that had…

Prologue “I heard a strange noise, so I came to check… Is everything all right?” The elderly butler looked around Mia’s bedroom with a puzzled expression. It was a dark night. Candlelight flickered against the walls, and a feather quilt lay crumpled on the bed. Other than the fact that Mia Lisicha, the Grand Duke’s secretary, had unusually flushed cheeks, there was nothing particularly strange. Mia frantically waved both hands. “What do you mean, something happened? Nothing…

Chapter 55 Standing in the arena for the first preliminary round, Seong-ha fiddled with the bracelet on her left wrist. “Not as bad as I expected.” The bracelet provided by the Association looked sturdier than it had from beyond the screen. “Still, it’ll break immediately if I take one really strong hit.” Unless a participant possessed at least one of three things—enough skill to withstand a critical attack from an enemy, the judgment to distinguish a critical attack, or the…-

Chapter 54 The waiting room for Group F of the first preliminary round of the Hunter Ability Assessment was filled with Hunters preparing for their matches. Instead of warming up, however, they were busy sneaking glances at the person sitting in one corner of the waiting room and whispering among themselves. “Look over there. Isn’t that Ha Seong-ha?” “What? Don’t be ridiculous. Why would Ha Seong-ha participate in the Hunter Ability Assessment…? Wait, it really is her?” “Why…

Chapter 53 Time passed faster than expected. As the Hunter Ability Assessment drew closer, the Blackhole Guild members stepped up their training. Based on the experiences and advice they had gained firsthand from the Icheon and Jeonju dungeons, they worked to make up for their weaknesses and sharpen their strengths even further. In particular, unlike Kang Min-ho and Yoo Eun-ah, who had formerly been members of Blackjack, Moon Han-sol and Moon Chan-sol had considerably less experience. They…
