Chapter 11: Claire's Coming-of-Age Ceremony (1)
Camilla, locked in solitary confinement.
Her punishment was lighter than she had expected.
Originally, she should have been in a dark, cramped cell, barely able to stretch her limbs. But thanks to the pleas of the other maids and servants, she had been moved to a slightly better place.
It was still a cold, bare floor, but she could at least curl up and get some sleep. The other maids secretly brought her ...

“I won’t be visiting you for my morning greetings anymore.”
Isabella’s hand, bringing a cup of tea to her lips, faltered. The cup stopped mid-air.
“Is that all you have to say?”
“Yes.”
Carsein, about to leave, turned back and answered immediately.
“I heard you’ve caught a cold.”
As expected, Isabella knew.
Carsein could have used this opportunity to complain and express his fru...

‘That crazy bitch is coming this way.’
I understood why Flora would come to torment and mock Carsein, but I didn’t expect this.
I wasn’t sure why Claire had graced the maids’ laundry area with her presence, but it didn’t matter.
‘This scene was skipped, so the choices didn’t appear until later.’
Until the predetermined scene played out, I had no restrictions from the choices. I had nothing to be afra...

“Ah…! There you are! I found you!”
The woman embraced the child tightly. She didn't care about the stench that clung to him, the filth on his clothes that stained her precious dress, or the diseases he might be carrying. None of it mattered.
The boy, with his dark, almost black hair and piercing blue eyes, was bewildered, held in the arms of this noblewoman. The guards, alerted to the commotion, arrived and tried to separat...

Chapter 7: Death Trigger (1)
I opened my eyes, and it was morning.
After a day of struggling with a cold, I had fallen into a deep sleep after a simple meal.
I vaguely remembered Claire finally realizing her mistake and bringing me the porridge, and the irritation I felt as I ate it. But I didn’t remember anything after lying down in bed.
So I had slept through the entire day.
“Ha. So this is what ‘recovery from fatigue and sleep deprivatio...

Chapter 6: The Consequences of Malice (3)
Claire's triumphant expression twisted into a scowl, while Arina furrowed her brow in displeasure.
"You better explain yourself, Carsein. Are you saying you won't eat this food, even though we personally supervised its preparation?"
Arina, the eldest, wanted to hear his explanation once more.
Sorry, but my answer wasn't wrong.
“Why ask if you already know?”
I retorted bluntly.
It meant I w...

Chapter 5: The Consequences of Malice (2)
The two sisters, initially ready to scold Carsein for leaving the dining table so abruptly after their mother’s arrival, were struck silent as they entered his room.
“Hey! Carsein, are you… Whoa!”
Claire recoiled, her shoulders trembling as she touched Carsein and felt the intense heat radiating from him.
“Why is he burning up?! What’s going on?!”
“…Unbelievable. He was fine this morning...

▶The maid, Camilla, has arrived with dessert.◀
[1. Come in.]
[2. (Shouting angrily) What dessert?! Get the hell out of here with your dirty tricks!]
[3. Pull the covers over your head and pretend to be asleep.]
[4. (Burst out of the room) You eat that garbage yourself!]
The choices appear, marking the beginning of the first episode.
Right. It always started this way. After a brief time skip during ...

Chapter 3: Tutorial (2)
As we moved towards the dining room, a status window popped up.
▶Tutorial I Completed!◀
▶This game is about making the right choices to clear it. Your choices will affect the outcome, even the smallest change can—
It was the message that always appeared after completing the tutorial.
Normally, the scene would end here. The tutorial only explained that even the smallest change could influence the choices, and briefly i...

I want to deny it.
No, I have to deny it.
This can't be happening.
I'm Kim Min-hyeok, a perfectly ordinary college student in South Korea! A fresh-faced freshman who just took the college entrance exams!
Even if someone keeps knocking and calling me Carsein, it can't possibly be me.
It's a dream. All of this has to be a dream. A bad dream that I'll wake up from, back in my own apartment.

Finally.
The moment I’d been desperately waiting for had arrived.
All preparations were complete. This was the turning point, the grand shift in my tiresome life.
The moment I gripped this doorknob and pushed open the door. The moment the entrance swung open, I’d hurl the object in my hand at them, spit out my last words, and finally be free.
Free from this godforsaken house.
A sense of liberation, exhilaration, and indescribable anticipation swelled within m...
