Chapter 3

I gaped in surprise at the dark red crack that had brazenly positioned itself right in the center of the sky.

As I stood still looking up at the sky, Count Ulver, who had been following behind me, looked puzzled and also tilted his head back to look up at the sky.

“Count Ulver, what on earth is that?”

“What do you mean?”

“That red thing.”

“Red? It’s just blue.”

“What?”

Can’t Count Ulver see that crack?

As I lowered my head in bewilderment, suddenly a warning beep sounded and a system window appeared before my eyes.

[5% Until World Destruction]

The gauge had gone up.

I instinctively realized that the remaining gauge until world destruction and the red crack in the sky were closely intertwined.

“Where is Beatrice right now?”

“She’s in her bedroom, but right now…”

I immediately went to find the female protagonist’s room.

I could hear a servant shouting from behind that it was dangerous right now, but I ignored it.

“Count Ulver, wait here!”

As if he had no intention of following anyway, Count Ulver yawned widely and nodded his head.

What am I going to do about that laziness.

Having dismissed even the servant who tried to follow me, I thought no one would see, so I grabbed the hem of my dress and climbed the stairs two steps at a time.

As I climbed toward the second floor, I could hear something breaking from the far end of the hallway. How startling.

“You bastards! Open the door!”

Beatrice’s angry voice echoed all the way to the stairs where I was standing.

I guess because she’s the female protagonist, her vocal power is amazing too.

After climbing the remaining stairs, I saw a middle-aged man standing at the end of the hallway.

Gripping the door handle with a troubled expression, he was Marquis Rockwood, Beatrice’s biological father.

Unlike Count Sauver who always went around with a stern face, he had always welcomed his daughter’s friend with a smiling face, but today his complexion was particularly dark.

Well, how must he feel when his daughter suddenly went crazy overnight.

Secretly sighing to myself, I carefully approached the marquis.

“Marquis.”

“Ah, Rene. You came.”

The marquis welcomed me with an awkward smile.

Bang-!

Even in the midst of this, the sound of something breaking continuously came from beyond the door.

I pretended to be startled and looked back at the tightly closed door.

“I came to visit because I heard Beatrice was sick…”

Crash-!

How violent.

I looked at the marquis with an expression that showed I didn’t understand what was going on, then looked back at the door.

Then the marquis, who had been keeping his mouth tightly shut, let out a deep sigh and began to explain what had happened.

“It seems Beatrice has lost her memory.”

“Beatrice lost her memory?”

“Yes.”

Not only does she not recognize her father, but she doesn’t even recognize the maids who have been taking care of her since childhood.

He said she’s been like this since the spring welcome party, but the marquis has no idea what caused her to become like this.

As I listened to the marquis’s story with a serious expression, I noticed something strange.

The original work described Beatrice as a lady with a gentle nature.

The Beatrice I met after possessing this body was like that too.

If she had simply lost her memory, there was no way she would suddenly become so violent.

It meant that some other problem had occurred that the marquis hadn’t noticed.

Trusting my instinct, I first persuaded the marquis to let me meet Beatrice.

The marquis tried to dissuade me, saying Beatrice was too agitated and it was dangerous, but I was fine with it.

In my previous life, I was the one who pacified fierce stray cats famous for their wildness with treats.

Soothing a delicate female protagonist would be a piece of cake.

That’s what I thought…

“What are you supposed to be?”

Hmm. More frightening than I expected.

As I carefully squeezed through the crack of the opened door, I had no choice but to freeze.

Facing Beatrice standing in the middle of the dim room with her hair completely disheveled, I wanted to bite my tongue for having confidently assured the marquis just moments ago that it would be fine.

Let me start with deep breathing.

After calmly catching my breath, I smiled gently at Beatrice, who was glaring at me fiercely with wariness.

“Beatrice, it’s me, Rene.”

“What’s Beatrice and what’s Rene?”

“Beatrice is your name, Rene is my name. For reference, we’re friends. I heard from the marquis that you lost your memory.”

I calmed Beatrice down as if soothing a fierce stray cat.

However, Beatrice didn’t easily let down her guard.

“Beatrice is my name? Don’t make me laugh. My name is Gye Deok-ho. Not Beatrice or whatever.”

Beatrice picked up a candlestick from the side table and raised it threateningly.

But my attention was focused elsewhere, not on the candlestick that seemed ready to fly toward me at any moment.

Gye Deok-ho is a Korean name, isn’t it?

Suddenly, I came up with one plausible hypothesis.

What if someone had entered Beatrice’s body just like I had possessed this one?

[Correct.]

A system window appeared with a cheerful notification sound.

I got it right!

I clapped my hands.

Right, it was possession just like mine!

Thinking about it that way, everything made sense.

The female protagonist suddenly becoming violent, not remembering anyone around her, calling herself Gye Deok-ho – everything!

After clapping my hands and rejoicing for a while, I approached Beatrice, no, Mr. Gye Deok-ho, who was standing with the candlestick.

As I approached, Mr. Gye Deok-ho raised the candlestick a little higher, but I didn’t mind.

“I’m Haneul Soo-young. I’m Korean.”

“Korean? You’re Korean? No matter how I look at you, you look like a foreigner…”

“I possessed this body. Just like you, Mr. Gye Deok-ho.”

“What? Possession? What’s that?”

“You don’t know about possession?”

“No.”

“Ah, well, it’s complicated to explain…”

I sat down properly and explained about possession.

Furthermore, I told him everything without missing a single detail – that this place was the world inside a 19+ dark reverse harem novel, and that he had entered the body of Beatrice, the female protagonist.

Mr. Gye Deok-ho seemed to listen intently to my words, then soon showed a confused expression.

“So, this is the world inside a novel, and I’ve entered the body of some girl who’s the protagonist named Beatrice or whatever?”

“Yes. Exactly that.”

“Are you telling me to believe that?”

“What will you do if you don’t believe it?”

Regardless of believing or not believing, Mr. Gye Deok-ho had already entered Beatrice’s body.

Just as I had possessed Rene Sauver’s body.

This was no longer a matter of believing or not believing.

It was a matter of accepting it or not.

“Take a look in the mirror.”

“I did.”

“Still can’t believe it?”

At my words, Mr. Gye Deok-ho irritably ruffled his hair.

It seemed even he thought that his drastically changed appearance overnight could only be explained by possession.

“I know it’s hard to believe. But you have to accept it.”

“Hah…”

Mr. Gye Deok-ho threw down the candlestick and ruffled his shining golden hair with both hands.

At first glance it looked silver, but it was actually close to ash-colored—a world of difference from my hair that looked grayish and dull like storm clouds when seen properly.

Even the female protagonist’s hair is pretty.

I was making pointless observations when Mr. Gye Deok-ho suddenly flashed his eyes.

“You said this is the world inside a novel?”

“Yes.”

“Then is there no way to return to the original world?”

Among the countless romance fantasy novels I’d read, there was no precedent of a possessed person returning to their original world.

They all ended up with either the male lead or a sub male lead and lived happily.

“Probably not.”

[Incorrect answer.]

Huh? There is a way to return to the original world? What is it?

But the system window, as if mocking me, gave no answer to this question.

I glanced at the system window and looked at Mr. Gye Deok-ho, who was still pulling at his hair.

“Aaaah! This is driving me crazy!”

He seemed unable to believe that he had to live as the female protagonist of this 19+ dark reverse harem novel.

By the way, can’t Mr. Gye Deok-ho see this system window? Even though we’re both possessed?

I tapped Mr. Gye Deok-ho’s shoulder just in case.

He was in the middle of pulling his hair when he snapped his head up with a “What?”
