Part 2
(Side Story)
Episode 1
1. The First Husband
Where did it all go wrong?
Was it when I killed Jenas?
Or when Kaiden entered Hibernation?
When Magic Power disappeared and nature itself began to suffer Body Aches?
I don’t know. In any case, what mattered was that Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s soul fragments had scattered across different dimensions.
Kaiden, who awoke from Hibernation, said we were simply unlucky.
To find Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s soul fragments, I had to traverse parallel worlds and meet countless versions of him.
An Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid who was Margaret Rose Flone’s plaything.
An Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid who was childhood friends with Lee Jin-ju.
A high school Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid on the American football team.
An Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid belonging to a special ability unit.
An Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid who had become something inhuman.
All the versions of Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid I encountered across parallel worlds had different professions and different relationships with me, but one thing remained constant.
Their personalities were absolutely vile.
Yet I had to persuade them to obtain something precious.
My husband’s soul fragments.
Yes, life has always been composed of the most wretched timing imaginable.
.
.
.
It was my first Possession.
When I first opened my eyes, I saw a high platform and men looking down at me from atop it.
There were platforms on both sides as well, and people there were also looking down at me.
This seemed to be a courtroom.
“Witch, Margaret, answer us.”
A middle-aged man sitting on the highest platform across from me spoke to me in a solemn voice.
The men seated across from me were wearing wigs like those worn by 19th-century British lawyers and judges.
“The legendary Witch Margaret Rose Flone. We ask one final time. Do you confess to all your crimes? Answer.”
A legendary witch, no less.
The Margaret Rose Flone of this world was referred to not merely as a Villainess but as a “legendary Witch.” What kind of Scale was this?
“…I’m terribly sorry, but.”
I slowly opened my mouth in bewilderment.
Everyone in the courtroom fixed their attention on me.
The silence was so complete you could hear a needle drop.
“I am not Margaret Rose Flone. You’ve mistaken me for someone else. This is a dream, isn’t it…?”
I decided to deny the charges first.
And so I was locked away in prison, already sentenced to death.
Wait. What exactly was my crime?
And more than anything… a wise transmigration life that begins with a death sentence!
.
.
.
The incident began like this.
Jenas died—
Kaiden entered hibernation—
Magic Power vanished—
And as the natural order shifted—
The earth itself began to suffer from body aches.
It was merely a phase of adaptation, but the price was steep.
For the first four years after Magic Power disappeared, everyone believed the world was adjusting well to a life without it.
Problems began to surface when the fifth year arrived.
[Earthquake strikes Saltmere. Authorities estimate 300,000 casualties.]
[Gransem Wharf engulfed in fire breath…. Both warehouses and ships reduced to ash.]
[Elderone buried under heavy snow…, the entire village of Elderone buried under ice.]
[The King’s palace crumbled by fierce winds, Kingsport Cathedral spire collapsed.]
Dozens of natural disasters had occurred to date. The Langrid Newspaper Company’s headlines never had a moment’s rest.
In the meantime, Kaiden finally awakened.
People said the savior had awakened.
Indeed, after he awakened, the earth’s suffering seemed to come to an end.
The problem was Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid, who collapsed a month after Kaiden awakened from hibernation.
According to Kaiden, the natural order shifted and created dozens of parallel worlds, and as a result, Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s soul shattered and scattered.
He said it was bad luck. Both magically and scientifically, such a phenomenon shouldn’t occur.
“Listen carefully, Margaret Rose Flone. I examined the different energy wavelengths within your husband’s body, and his soul fragments didn’t scatter suddenly. There must have been symptoms for quite a long time—you really didn’t notice?”
I didn’t notice. Not at all. There were no signs whatsoever.
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid, as always, showered me and our children with boundless affection and love.
Yet I failed to recognize that he had been experiencing such symptoms.
“It’s not dangerous, so don’t worry.”
“No. His soul fragments scattered, and you’re saying that’s not dangerous?”
“Ah. This is… difficult to explain. It seems to be something he chose to do himself.”
“What?”
“It seems he hopes you’ll come searching for him.”
“Come searching? Where?”
“To another parallel world.”
“Why?”
“I don’t know that either.”
I couldn’t comprehend it at all.
Could Enoch have harbored some hidden resentment toward me?
If that weren’t the case, we were living happily here with three children, so why on earth did this suddenly happen?
“I’ll send you to a parallel world. Can you find a fragment of Enoch’s soul?”
That single question from Kaiden marked the beginning of my transmigration journey.
Since my physical body couldn’t directly cross dimensions, the only method was for me to possess my body in the parallel world.
You’re asking why Kaiden couldn’t go instead?
To find the fragment of Enoch’s soul, I needed to win over the heart of the parallel world’s Enoch.
…That’s right. There’s no way Kaiden could do something like that.
“Enoch, with the soul fragment embedded in him, would definitely be experiencing some side effects. If I resolve those for him, obtaining the soul fragment might become easier.”
“What kind of side effects?”
“I don’t know either. You’ll have to go see for yourself.”
I suddenly felt afraid of what these side effects might be.
Based on Kaiden’s speculation, the seizure symptoms Enoch had experienced seemed to manifest in different ways in this other dimension.
“A parallel world… Will I end up trapped on Alea Island again? I’m not entirely sure myself, but if you’re taking me to a deserted island, just tell me one thing you’d like to bring. I’ll prepare it if it’s within my means.”
Unfortunately, I couldn’t cast magic like Kaiden could, and the magical tools he could provide me were limited.
“Then I need a magical pouch like a pocket dimension—one that produces whatever I want. And if things go south, I’d like to be able to escape into the pocket dimension too. I’ll call it a Doraemon pouch.”
“If I could create such an absurd all-purpose pouch, wouldn’t that make me a god?”
“Then why did you ask in the first place?”
In any case, I did receive a gift. It was a gift that reflected all my requests.
Despite what he said, Kaiden truly was remarkable.
Kaiden is a god! A man worthy of being called a god!
.
.
.
And so, back to the present moment.
I successfully possessed Margaret Rose Flone in the parallel world.
The problem was that the me in this parallel world was a legendary witch.
Of all times, I possessed her right at the moment she received a death sentence.
In my world, I was merely a “villainess” who made love potions at best, but here I was a “witch” who poisoned Enoch’s tea. Damn it.
Anyway, after receiving the death sentence and being locked in prison, ten days had already passed.
Life in the cell turned out to be better than expected.
In the cramped prison cell, I pulled out the camping trailer-shaped keyring that Kaiden had gifted me.
‘A camping trailer? So there’s actually a use for something like this in this parallel world?’
What Kaiden had gifted me was a magical keyring that changed shape.
He said it would automatically adjust to match each parallel world whenever I moved to a new one.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t choose the internal settings of the keyring myself.
I shook the keyring in my hand, and it shattered into pieces before reassembling in mid-air like a puzzle.
Though the cell was barely the size of a palm, the trailer fit itself into the space as if folding the dimensions to accommodate it.
While it defied all logic, the trailer opened with a soft whoosh, as if passing through a dimensional gate.
This magical trailer wasn’t particularly constrained by tight spaces.
Above all, this camping trailer reset everything to its original state whenever I opened the door anew.
No matter how much I used the items, opening it again would restore everything to its pristine condition as if untouched.
‘This is rather convenient.’
Back when I was Lee Jin-ju, the moment I transmigrated into Margaret Rose Flone, I inherited all of her memories—but in this parallel world, there was no such transmigrator buff.
Still, with an item buff like this, there’s nothing left to regret!
