01. The Beginning of the Game

It was an ordinary day.

To celebrate Friday night, I ordered late-night snacks, bought four cans of beer to match the convenience store’s “4 cans for 10,000 won” marketing, and came home. After a quick wash, I crawled into bed and switched on the reader.

I was dying of patience for an hour. I can’t read web novels on the subway because I don’t think I have enough virtue yet.

As soon as I turned off the “Future Prediction Economic Analysis in 50 Years – World of Wealth” which I’d left on for public cosplay, a pop-up immediately appeared.

[For the Romance Fantasy Lovers, you’ve been invinted to the #Possession experience! We invite you to ‘The Possessor Secret Party‘].

Huge letters engraved on the walls of the castle. There’s even more eye-catching phrases.

[If you accept the invitation, we’ll give you 1,000 cash!]

Not a 1,000 cash draw ticket, but 1,000 cash was given, so there was no reason to refuse.

After clicking it right away, I ticked the personal information collection agreement box, checked the precautions box (I don’t know why there is such a thing in an event), and chose which keywords that I like, huh? What name do I want to be called when I’m being a possessor? Why are the asking me this?

It was a whole bunch of weird questions, but I answered roughly and received 1,000 cash.

Exactly a week later, I got a weird hat from the platform.

“What is it? Is it a fan merchandise?”

It is said that you can be a possessed character if you wear this while sleeping, but there was no detailed guide. There is only a phrase that says to use it at 12:00 at night.

I emptied my beer can and looked at the clock. It was 11:55. I put on the hat as a joke, and the cold metal stuck to my temple.

Five minutes later, I was lying on my back, fast asleep.

***

Suddenly, this thought occurred to me.

Why are [Consent to Collect Personal Information] and [Cautions] written in small letters? Does anyone even read all of them?

Please, I wish someone would tell me that I’m not the only one living this carelessly.

The Possessor Secret Party.

It was not a cash event.

[REAL RoFan Possession Event.]

I stared at the shimmering system window and blinked in despair, like a raccoon who washed cotton candy in water.

Ordinary people would be taken aback by such a fxxxking situation, but those who have run more than 10 romantic-fantasy works could understand the situation right away.

‘I’m possessing.’

Nod.

‘Yeah, that’s the system window.’

Nod.

I nodded as I grasped the situation alone.

[Please check the detailed guide on your tablet.]

I squinted my eyes as I read the guide on the tablet that had been in my hand for who knows how long.

‘…is this technically possible?’

Recently, platforms are said to be proceeding with virtual reality gameization beyond webtoonization of web novels.

100 game scenarios have already been completed, and an experience group has been recruited to verify the contents.

[……The access is made under the consent of the user, and we are not responsible for any problems…..]

I cringed at the lengthy description.

Human beta testers! This is what IT geniuses are for!

I threw the tablet away, treating talented people who are working hard for the globalization of content in Korea as mad scientists.

At least they have a conscience, the platform gave me something to communicate with the world. A laptop with a fruit logo, a tablet PC, and a smartwatch.

When I opened my eyes earlier, they were the reason I briefly suspected this is a case of kidnapping, not possession.

I turned off the PDF viewer that had popped up on my tablet and stuffed the items into the box.

Then, someone knocked on the door.

“Miss! It’s Mary.”

I was startled by the clear voice I heard out the door.

……Is that the possessed’s NPC, a personal maid?

I swallowed my dry saliva.

There are two types of handmaidens in Possession.

One who likes to give silly comments and claiming her Lady is the best and cares for her female lead as her favorite. This type of maid is very informative and helpful to the Possessor.

The second is a human CCTV type that monitors every move and informs the family of the female lead. They usually get scolded by the female protagonist and give the readers cider before disappearing.

I wonder what type she is.

I washed my dry face for no reason in nervousness.

My raised gaze took in the entire room for a moment.

An overly ornate silk bed with a golden canopy. It seems that I possessed someone from a wealthy family.

I swept my chest as I found the only thing I liked about this situation.

I couldn’t be more grateful for the cliché that 90% of possessed heroines are rich, or about to become rich.

Knock, knock.

“Miss?”

I felt sorry for ignoring her as I kept listening to her pathetic calls. My heart was numb. But….

How was I supposed to answer!

‘Come in.’

‘Yes. Come in?’

‘…Come here?’

I’ll just be sleeping, so can you sneak in?

I hesitated and looked at the glass of water on the nightstand. Then, I gently pushed the glass down.

Clink!

“Miss! Is something wrong? I’m sorry. I’m coming in!”

I scrambled back into bed, then I opened my eyes and looked at the door.

Green eyes with brown hair. There’s freckles on the tip of the nose. A fresh beauty that reminds me of a high school female lead came in.

“Are you sick, Miss?”

“Eung.”

I shook my head and answered vaguely.

Just tell me what you came in for!

By the way, my name too!

I blinked and looked up at the maid.

Fortunately, the maid dutifully relayed the information.

“Hurry up and get up. The Duke is calling for the Miss.”

Oh, first of all, it looks like I’m a Duke’s daughter. It’s a good identity.

“You have to be diligent. If you do well, he may become a guardian.”

……Huh? A guardian? Does that mean I’m not a Duke’s daughter?

“Guardian?”

The maid suddenly nodded with a sad face.

“It’s a scary world for an unmarried noblewoman to live alone.”

Live alone?

Puzzled by the sudden development, I stared at the maid with cloudy eyes. My pupils must be shaking because I can’t focus.

“Both the Master and Madam were such good people. It’s no wonder everyone wants to help you, Miss.”

“They were good people?”

Why the past tense?

In an instant, the maid’s eyes were watery.

“Of course, they will always be good people in your heart, Miss.”

She said, ruffling my hair affectionately.

“It must have been hard for you to organise the funeral, wasn’t it?”

“…….”

Wait. You lost your parents as soon as you were possessed?

They seemed like good parents, judging by the expensive props and the maid, but I had a bad feeling about this from the start.

She chatted non-stop to comfort me.

As expected, a loyal information type NPC….

Thanks to her, I discovered that I was the daughter of a wealthy Baron.

However, in keeping with my parents’ usual generosity, this was followed by the sad information  that all their assets would be donated.

My parents thought I would leave in search of a good marriage soon, and they wrote that kind of will because they didn’t think that they would die so suddenly.

I possessed someone who was living in a wealthy family all her life, but I started as a beggar.

“Be strong. The Duke will take good care of you, and I’m sure he’ll take care of Miss’ debutante just as well as the Master.”

Another thing I learned was that I was about to make my debut this year.

That means I haven’t entered the Society yet.

However, after hearing the news, the Duke came to support me. For the reason….

“It seems that the talk of your beauty has spread all over the capital, Miss.”

….Am I the official Beauty of this world?

The face in the mirror was definitely self-assertive. Soft blonde hair and blue eyes like the sea. I was beautiful, even if I rolled over.

However, after checking myself in the mirror, my feelings for the Duke turned sour.

Seriously, a Duke who ran to see my face?

It smells of lewdness. He must be an old extra with a big belly.

I entered a RoFan, but I am in danger of throwing my eyes away from the first game in disgust.

With a bitter heart, I followed the maid down to the first floor.

***

I didn’t look up, my gaze fixed on the table.

“Lady Daisy, you look very upset.”

I got it. You look at your own face in the mirror every day, and when you see someone else’s face, you’re not happy.

“No, Your Grace.”

I raised my gaze and glanced at him. The corners of my mouth rose spontaneously and I had to cover it with my hand.

No! I’ve just won a jackpot, and this is not the way to behave.

I can’t go overboard just because the platform has abandoned the probability. I don’t know the specific reason why it doesn’t work like my prediction, but I quickly shut my mouth in a rote learning that I learned through extensive reading of Possession story.

Still, it was hard because my smiling cheekbone was dancing around like a real clown.

The man who appeared in front of me was truly gorgeous. He was the embodiment of an angel with blond hair and blue eyes.

It’s only now that I can see I’ve been possessed a Rofan.

Do I just follow this guy and watch the flirting of unicorns?

However, the development power of the giant platform was not letting me have any of it.

“My uncle was a very nice man.”

What? Uncle?

When I looked at him in surprise, he dropped the words.

“I admit it. I’ve been indifferent. Now, I’ll be acting as a big brother to my one and only cousin.”

Cousin … brother?

“I swear. I will do my best to help you live a comfortable life for the rest of your life. In the name of Bjorn Alphonse of Aether family.”

By any chance … is this incest?

Translator’s Corner:

Unicorn can refer to a man or a woman and is often used to describe the perfect catch or perfect partner (or at least that’s what the slang dictionary said).

The Northern Grand Duke’s name in prologue is 엘런 and the most correct translation would be Ellen … do you guys okay with it or should I change it to Allen or Eren since Ellen sounds a lot like a female name?

Ah, if you’re wondering why I picked up another rofan … I lost the texts for What Divorce because the situation with my laptop so I’m unable to continue it … this is the replacement so I hope you guys will like it!!!
