Hello, my lovely readers. It's me, heirloomgem! I hope that you guys enjoyed my latest fanfic and are doing well.
I'm actually planning on posting a monthly voting poll with 3 different animes or manga with characters to choose from.
You can pick/vote for whoever interests you and either send me any suggestions or request one shot regarding those characters. And whichever character wins on the voting poll, I'm going to post a one-shot series on them.
Please tell me if you are interested in it and I, then, would proceed with this plan.😊
Rules for Request
· If you have any request, just send me by ask box or message me.
This blog is a Character X Reader multi-fandom blog.
I might write more for anime, manga, and manhwa but I will also write books or movie characters that I like.
I also post fanfic with my own OC or self-insert.
1. I just want to clarify that if you request anything from me, I will try and give it to you but there might be times when if the request isn’t to my taste nor it isn’t appropriate, I will, without hesitation, decline it as I have set of rules that I have to follow and taste that I like. So please be respectful if I ever decline.
2. I also have to tell you that I may not publish request consistently as I also have work so do forgive me.
3. I also want to have fun when it comes to writing so as not to have writers block and to not feel pressured.
4. Just send one ask/request with everything in it so that it would be much easier for me to understand and to know what I need to write for you.
Things I do NOT write
1. I won’t write about extreme kinks, such as pet kinks, chocking or etc. But if its pregnant/breeding kink I will or any soft kinks though I might do some research first for the ones I'm not familiar.
2. There might be request that I will decline when those characters aren’t my favourite or know of. So my bad in advance.
3. I won’t write the things that I don’t know of or anything that I can’t relate to because if I try to write something relating to it, it might offend and disrecpect people because of my lack of understanding. So I don’t want that happening.
Things I do write
1. I write for
· BNHA
· KNY
· KHR Moriarty the Patriot
· Etc. I write animes, mangas or books that I have watch and read only.
2. Fluff, angst and all that jazz.
3. I might be able to write slight Yandere but not extreme ones.
More will be added if I come across anything else, but if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask!

They say other people's addiction and getting high differ. It seems for us obsesses of fanfiction x reader, this is our addiction and our way of getting high. When you're lucky enough to find a treasure trove of fanfiction, it's like an itch that has finally been scratched. It's a feeling of pure euphoria or a craving that has finally been satisfied.
Have you ever read a really good fic then looked up the author's other works and lo and behold a treasure trove of fics that are exactly your kind of shit? Because god that is what euphoria feels like. I love you random fic writers i unexpectedly find
Bakugou’s silly crush
I planned to just write a short fic but it ended becoming long. I hope you like it and that Bakugou isn’t that OOC. Request are open, just send me a message or in my ask box.
Bakugou Katsuki knew he’s fuck up, the moment he realised these goddamn feeling he have for her.
She’s only supposed to be an extra, nothing more than that.
An exchange student in their second year, who can even barely speak the language and yet the moment he underestimated her, she gave him a slap in the face of just who she can really be. Very different from how she had acted when she introduced herself. Unassuming and weak-looking that he dismissed her quickly, noting that she’s just another extra.
But that still didn’t stop him from foolishly challenging her, curious as to what she have in getting admitted in U.A.
In the end, it ended with a tie but the amount of bruised and aching in his body made him reluctant in acknowledging her.
Even though, he have learned his lesson to never underestimate his opponent, the second he relapsed she quickly made him realised it all over again. Her quirk was nothing but weak and yet the skills that she have made Bakugou secretly respect her... begrudgingly that is.
It frustrated him, resulting in him training harder after that battle.
Little by little, he started noticing her.
At first, it’s only a whim, she’d been sitting in her seat in their class, which was beside him, and quietly practising words under her breath but enough for him to hear before he rudely interrupted and pointed out how stupid it sounded, quickly giving the correct pronunciation of the word.
Surprise but not bothered by his rude attitude, she gave him a smile and a thank you before practising what he taught her.
Later on, Bakugou berated himself for what he did, thinking it was stupid and unnecessary before deciding that there won’t be a next time.
Unfortunately for him, there is.
The idiots that proclaim to be his squad ask him to be their tutor for the upcoming test.
Annoyingly following him everywhere until they provokingly ask if he just didn’t know how to teach to which he angrily bit into, adding that he could fucking teach them until they could recite the periodic table in their sleep before realising that he stupidly stepped into their trap.
Bakugou could only pitifully covered it by saying how stupid they are they even need him to tutor them for something so simple that even grade school can solve.
What he didn’t expect was her, though.
The idiots actually ask if she wanted to join and ask him to tutor her also since she’s not that good in Japanese literature.
It did make him fluster, secretly.
Except for that one time; he doesn’t know how to interact with her at all, she’s always with that stupid Deku’s group and all the girls in Class A and B.
He could only curse those idiots under his breath, his ears turning slightly red.
There’s something about her that always made him uncomfortably warm, making him quite and jittery most of the time whenever she’s in the vicinity.
The day for studying and teaching those morons came and through it all, Bakugou tried his hardest in keeping his composure whenever she’s asking questions or whenever she’s near, else those idiots will notice for sure.
Bakugou also made sure to treat her like how he treated those idiots except lesser than what he usually does.
From all the other subjects, her score on Japanese literature was only the lowest as its understandable, it’s not her first language and yet Bakugou can’t help but cackle at how mess up her pronunciations were nor the things she’s mistakenly spelled, making a lot of hilarious misunderstanding at times.
Such us public became pubic, sweet tea to sweat tea, and many other more.
The look on her faces whenever someone pointed it out was amusing to no end that Bakugou can’t help the small twitch in his lips whenever he remember them by the end of the day.
Study session soon became frequent after that.
At times, Bakugou would take the initiative to ‘casually’ ask her as if by coincidence or just forcibly joined her and thanks to that her grade slowly rose up to a slightly above average.
The study sessions might have been chaotic thanks to his idiotic friends but because of it, Bakugou notice how she slowly relax and mingled more with class 2-A.
At first, she’s been more polite and reserve but now she’s been participating in having fun and teasing their classmates, sharing jokes, advice on training, joining conversation and hangout with people.
Bakugou even end up being one of her target in teasing once with damn Pikachu and flat face when he’d been hit by a damn quirk named good face that makes him look like a shitty shoujo manga protagonist.
The nerve she has when she told him it’s was revenge for making fun of her for her pronunciations and misspelling back then.
By the end of it, Bakugou relentlessly chase her, small explosion igniting in his palms as he threatens her from further teasing him.
That still didn’t stop her until he stomp to his room, slamming his door angrily, to which their classmates heard throughout the building, and ignoring her for a whole day afterwards, did her teasing stop.
In the end, she offered buying him spicy foods to apologise and appease his temper.
Bakugou grudgingly accepted in the end after much begging from her to not ignore her and that it would never happen again. (Unfortunately, it wasn’t lol)
Well, on Bakugou’s side, it isn’t a bad deal. He not only could eat his favourite spicy foods but he could also hang out with just her.
A date
Or so he secretly told himself before denying the ridiculous notion.
Came weekend, with red tinted ears, Bakugou ‘grumpily’ went with her to have a spicy ramen and to a Chinese restaurant for a spicy mapu tofu.
Bakugou have to admit the foods were surprisingly delicious on his taste bud that day and it’s not because he’s with her. NOT AT ALL!
Her recent teasing did stop but later came a lot from his stupid friends after they’re so called hang out and once she’s out of earshot. Bakugou could only yelled at them to fuck off before turning around, heading for his room with a slight blush across his faces as he heard them cheering and whistle in the background.
The moment he did recognize and admit his crush was when he and his squad have been sitting around the living room of their dorm.
Pikachu and flat faces started talking about their type of woman before it started heading to their classmates in their group and in class B.
Bakugou could careless as he scrolled through his phone. It’s not long before his attention went back to his friends’ conversation when they mention her name.
His friends talked about how easy it was to hang out with her and how comfortable they were with her even though she just arrives not long ago.
Slightly agitated, Bakugou can’t help but slowly shift in his sit, still pretending to go through his phone as he listens.
But then it went on to discussing on how she does have the looks and yet they can’t help but feel that she’s one of the guys. Kaminari then joke that rather than being a girlfriend material, she might instead beat them in having a beautiful girlfriend.
The boys agreed and can’t help but think of how their female classmate can easily charm any of the U.A female students are. Thinking of those incidents, where many of the first year students always come in their class just to get a glimpse of their classmate and with how subconsciously suave she was.
They can’t help but admire and envy her and yet every time they mention how good of a flirt she was, their female classmate always have a confuse look on why she suddenly became a flirt, making her classmates sweat drop and feel worried for her.
Kaminari crossed his arm with a ‘serious’ look, nodding his head before bluntly stating that he might feel pity but their classmate might not have a boyfriend at all because of how popular she was with the same gender.
Not before long, a pillow slam hard in Kaminari’s face, making the poor guy fell backward from the sofa stool while others can’t help but gawked at Bakugou, who suddenly threw the pillow with an angry face.
“Fucking shitty Pikachu, you just have a shitty taste in woman.” Bakugou muttered menacingly.
If looks could kill, they’re sure their electric friend would have died from the looks that Bakugou’s giving him. No, scratch that their poor friend might die any second with how their explosive friend tempers is, they could only pray in their heart for his survival.
They notice the fondness their explosive friend have for their female classmate ever since however they stupidly made a bet to say what they did just now to see Bakugou’s reaction.
At first, they have been reluctant but they appeared to have been influence by Kaminari’s recklessness, who was the one who have started everything and yet when they saw how Bakugou reacted they unconsciously jump into the wagon.
They started teasing him.
“Bakugou, are you perhaps attracted to her?”
“HUH?” Their friend turned to them with the same menacing look and yet they still persisted.
“If not, then you wouldn’t have said what you just said.” They smirked,
”...”
They saw how their friend’s ear and face slowly got red before Bakugou averted his eyes that they hollered in amusement and cheering their blond friend.
Bakugou started shouting at them, his entire body shaking in embarrassment as he threatened them.
“You fucking extra, you better shu-“
“Oh? What going on in here?”
Hearing their female friend, Bakugou felt the dread he was about to be bombarded while his friends unable to stop the teasing smile from appearing on their face.
“Hear this, it seems Bakugou hav-“
Just as one of them opens their mouth, Bakugou beat them, “Fucking shut it. It’s nothing.”
He grumbled, not looking at her direction, his eyes looking at his friends with a threat but his friends just averted their eyes, the smirks still on their lips.
Their female classmate hums before remembering something, rummaging on a plastic bag they carried.
“Bakugou you like this snack with the spicy flavour right. You said you been looking for it. It just so happen that they started selling it. Here.”
Bakugou turned just in time to catch the snack they have bought for him and he saw that it’s really the snack that he have been craving at this time of the year. It’s one of his favourite and yet the company who produce it only sell them seasonally.
He has mentioned it once in passing when the two of them went to buy a snack in a convenience store and yet they remember it and have bought him. Just the thought of it made the tip of his ear and his cheeks blush again.
At the same time, their female classmate immediately bade them good night saying that their class exercise have made them tired and sleepy as they went to the elevator and straight to their room, missing the chance of seeing Bakugou flustered at their simple action.
Once the elevator door close, Bakugou idiotic friends all at once started cheering and whistling at Bakugou as he roared at them to fucking shut up. He's tempted to blast their fucking faces however the snack that he has received made him hesitate as he might accidentally burn it.
Bakugou could only walked back to his room after much suffering from his friends, grumbling as he close his door with a slam, laying in his bed and burying his face on his pillow as his ears and cheeks tint an unbelievable shade of red.
Reluctantly, Bakugou admitted that he might have a small crush on his female classmate as he stare at his desk, from the corner, his favourite snack lying under his desk lamp.
If you want a continuation, just message me or ask me. I might write a continuation on how Bakugou would confess or how the reader would realize that they are in love with Bakugou.

Summary: (AU) In a world of ABO, you've always thought you were an alpha, high above others.
However, encountering your fated pair, proves you otherwise.
Add to that, your fated pair, whose grey eyes that always seem to see through you and black hair that always tries to entice your hand to run through it. You found out you were an omega through the heat he caused.
You couldn't help but curse the gods in every possible way as you tried your hardest not to kneel and beg your junior in school to claim and ravage you, whose name was Sung Jinwoo.
Disclaimer: I don’t own anything except for my characters and plot.
Warning/Genre: OOC, Romance, fluff, high school life, gender neutral (Sorry for the miss grammar)
Chapter 1 - Meeting
In your current society, you have your first gender.
A female and a male.
However, once you reach a certain age, you are tested to differentiate for your second gender.
A Beta, which the majority are categorized.
Next is the minority that experiences heat, an Omega.
And then where success is guaranteed, the Alpha.
You have always thought your life is set.
Born into an affluent family, number one in studies and sports, a good enough appearance and a dominant but nonchalant personality.
You and everyone have obviously thought you were an alpha.
Or so you thought as you met those grey eyes of a boy, named Sung Jinwoo.
It had been an average day for you.
Waking up and getting ready for school, listening to your teacher as they teach their subject.
Doing your duties as a student council president and catching your schoolmates who were slacking and skipping school.
Punishing them or dragging their asses back if they defy you.
It was a normal routine for you however what made that day different from others was meeting him.
Your fated pair.
You had just finished all the necessary paperwork and meetings as the student council president and were on your way home when you saw a group of students harassing some middle schoolers.
Stopping in your tracks, you saw that some of them were from your school while the others were from schools that were close to your area.
Observing the group of high school students, you couldn't help but notice that they seemed to be part of the same friend group, as there were no conflicts between them. Instead, they were bullying some middle school students.
You sigh as you shake your head.
Such a bunch of brats.
Seeing that they have already beaten a few middle school students and are about to harass them again, you step in without hesitation and call out to them.
The students who wore similar uniforms as yours stiffened once they heard and saw you.
They have been the same junior students you have always dragged back to school from skipping classes.
They were either in some arcade or in some brawls with other delinquents from another school, in which case resulted in you facing both parties.
Neither did you take sides as you beat them.
In the end, you would contact the other school's student council president, who happened to be one of your childhood friends, to inform them about your schoolmates and what happened.
Afterwards, you would finally escort your own schoolmates' beat-up assess back to your school infirmary.
That was how it usually plays.
And since they have crossed paths with you a few times already, they have seen what you're capable of and have unconsciously ingrained your presence in their minds.
They knew they were in trouble.
However, the other students from a different school were unaware of their dilemma, nor did they know you.
And so, seeing you leisurely walking up to them, they immediately put their attention on you and abandoned their previous targets at once.
Oblivious to the danger they're putting themselves into.
Arrogant in their stance, clearly the one leading them was an alpha.
You sigh once again, deciding to finish this quickly. Since you were eager to go home and were quite looking forward to the dessert that your mother had bought from abroad.
The thought almost makes you salivate.
"What this? Trying to be a hero now aren't you?" The alpha taunted as he strode over to you, smirking as his lackeys trailed behind him and slowly circled you.
Eyeing you up, it was clear he was sizing you as he instinctive knew you were an alpha.
You two were almost the same height however you clearly towered him by a few inches.
Showing an indifferent attitude and not answering his taunt, he faltered as you gave him a cold stare.
Embarrassed by showing weakness and intimidated by another alpha, he hid it by sneering at you and barking again at your classmates.
"Hey! What the fuck are you doing?! Get your asses here!" He shouted, his voice showing traces of agitation. This affected his lackeys as their earlier confidence faltered as well.
Looking at their other friends, they were confused as they remained rooted in their place.
Their faces paled, body trembling and sweat dripping down from their forehead. Hesitant, they gave a small shake of their head, their eyes showing undeniable fear.
Annoyed, the alpha was once again about to shout when suddenly a presence loomed over him and a cold voice interrupted.
"I'll advise you to leave if you don't want yourself embarrassed and beaten up by the end of the day, kid."
It was your voice.
Calm and deep, sending shivers down their spines as they felt authority dripping off it.
The alpha and his group paled instantly. Something inside them, especially the leader in their group instinctively told them this student was dangerous and someone not to be messed with.
However, an alpha is an alpha. They weren't one to be bent over nor ordered around so easily.
And because of this and due to his arrogant pride, the alpha kid faced you with a sneer and defiantly challenged you.
"Fuck you."
"..."
The surroundings fell silent, and the atmosphere immediately grew colder than it used to. A heavy feeling washed over everyone watching the two and they felt a foreboding sense creep up their spine.
You, however, just gave a small cold laugh before dropping your bag. Your eyes narrowed darkly.
Not long after, sounds of screams and agonizing cries echoed in the park while your schoolmates and the group of middle school students watched in horror as you beat them with ease but not without mercy.
Instructing your schoolmates to drag their friends' asses to their school infirmary, you told them that their student presidents, whom you have informed already, were waiting for them at the school entrance.
They knew that if they didn't show up, this president of theirs would hound them no matter where they were. Because of this, you didn't worry if they ran away.
As for your schoolmates, they already know to show up the next day if they want to keep their balls alive.
Watching them limp away, you finally let out a breath and pick up your school bag, satisfied that everything was almost over.
However, glancing over to the side and seeing the group of young students all bruised and battered, you sigh inwardly.
You made a mental note to have those bastards write up a thousand-word apology and assign them chores around campus as punishment.
Walking over to the group of middle schoolers, you asked them if they were alright.
"Yes, senior. Thank you so much for your help!" One of the kids replied while the others nodded with a bit of enthusiasm.
Looking over their battered faces while a smile was on their lips and their eyes shining as they looked at you, you couldn't help but worry and apologize to them on behalf of your schoolmates as their school president.
Throughout the exchange, one particular student was silent and kept his distance from you however you didn't blame him. If you were him, you would also be wary, especially after what they have been through before you came.
You may have saved them, but there's no guarantee you won't do the same as what those previous people did.
Though you felt his eyes lock onto you, you didn't know whether it was hostility or something else. Just that you couldn't ignore how intense his gaze was as he watched you.
Deciding to let it go, you took out a card from your pocket and gave it to them, advising them to visit the clinic if they ever experienced any signs of discomfort.
It was one of the clinics your cousin works at.
Given the number of students you frequently handled in such cases, your cousin already suspected it was you who sent them whenever students arrived at their clinic with bruises on their bodies.
Your cousin scolds you because of it.
You simply shrugged and responded that it at least contributed to the business. No matter how you deal with these troublemakers—whether through a gentle approach or not—if they still refuse to listen, they need to learn the hard way.
It was that or nothing.
You explained and your cousin could only accept defeat as deep down he knew that kids your age are hard to disciple.
As the students bowed in gratitude, you noticed the admiration in their eyes as they stared at you.
Not used to such gazes, you cough and avoid their eyes. Instead, you immediately urged them to go home as the sky slowly turned dark.
Inwardly, you hope they won't turn out like you, as you know you are barely crossing the line when it comes to disciplining such unruly schoolmates of yours.
Bowing their heads once more, they said goodbye and walked away, eager to head home while chatting happily.
You sigh again and lift your hand to brush your hair, glad that everything's finally over.
As they turned the corner, you were about to leave when suddenly there were hurried footsteps behind you. You felt a hand grab your shirt tightly, stopping you in your tracks.
That's when you heard them, stammering with a soft and warm voice, calling out to you pleadingly as you turned your head.
Your eyes locked with grey-coloured ones.
It was the boy from earlier who was watching you so intensely.
He has soft black hair with bangs that brush against his lashes. He also reaches your shoulders in height and has a lean build.
Clearly, the boy was growing and showing a distinct trait of an alpha.
However, it wasn't those physical traits that shocked you, it was his scent. A scent so endearing your body reacted in ways you never experienced before.
You felt your body heat up, your hands trembling and your breath laboured as you continued to lock eyes with the boy.
His scent enveloped you, intoxicating and enticing, making you crave something you knew was wrong.
Slowly, dread fills you as realizations hit you all at once.
You cursed.
"Fuck."
A/n: Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed it! Their age will be explained as the story goes and don't worry there won't be inappropriate ages or such.
Please leave a comment on what you think! Thank you!

[! ALERT] Command received. Player will be subjected to <FLASHBACKS> which are memories redacted and made to forget. As there is too much corruption, only the memories with the most significant impact and targeted specifically by the virus will be immediately recovered and viewed. The rest will slowly return to the Player. [! NOTICE] During the recall of <FLASHBACKS>, the Player will be given the third-person perspective, thus allowing movement within the memory. The Player will not be capable of any interaction as what the Player viewed has happened in the past. The surroundings of the experience will be based on how the memory was originally made. The memory will revert to its original state if any changes or alterations are made to it. Commencing <FLASHBACKS> 3… 2… 1…
Entering [MEMORY 1: THE FATED MEETING]
Jin-Woo opened his eyes and saw a familiar sight. The Hunters Association. He looked around and noticed his former self coming out of the room with a sigh and glum look. He recalled this; it was the day he first got his rank evaluated after his awakening. He walked to stand in front of his memory, noticing the difference in height and build, as well as aura. He received the lowest rank possible and showed the lowest mana measurement possible. This was a memory he didn’t mind forgetting.
“Aren’t you too young to be a Hunter?”
Jin-Woo flinched. It was that voice again, and that came right behind him too. He turned around and saw an unfamiliar figure. His eyebrows furrowed. He didn’t recall this, meeting someone like that after his evaluation. It never happened before.
“I have too.” His memory-self spoke timidly.
“I’ll bet it’s for money.” The mysterious figure spoke with an understanding tone, no malice, no mockery, nothing but care. “For yourself or…”
“My mother and younger sister.”
“Very noble of you.” The figure smiled warmly. “Can I offer some help? I’ve been around and I can direct you to some raids and teach you the basic of being a Hunter.”
“You won’t convince me to quit?” While Jin-Woo does not know what his memory self is thinking, he could guess and understand why his past self said that. The people that helped him get his rank all tried to persuade him to give up any thoughts of being a Hunter and going into raids, because it would mean pain, suffering, and death.
The figure hummed and chuckled. “No way I’m doing that. Not when you’ve already decided that you’re going to go through with it. The least I could do is help you experience better. By the way, I’m with the Hunter's Association. I work all over the place, so you can always approach me with anything. Hunter [Last Name] [First Name] at your service.”
Jin-Woo’s eyes widened. So this person was the Hunter Jinchul was talking about, what’s more, he knew her. He turned to his past self, seeing himself exchange names and contacts with the Hunter. His hand reached to clench his heart as he felt it ache uncontrollably. An unexplainable feeling over his entire body while he watched the two chat and laugh.
[MEMORY 1: THE FATED MEETING] Completed.
Entering [MEMORY 2: INTRODUCTION TO BETRAYAL]
The surroundings changed, and now he was inside what appeared to be a dungeon. He read over the memory’s title; this can’t be a positive one, but he has zero recollection of this place.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Your tone was icy and demanding, as were your composure and expression. You stood between a fallen memory of himself and a smaller group of Hunters; he also did not know who they were.
“In a moment, monsters will fill the room. By then, we can’t survive, and an outbreak will happen.” One of the Hunters said, “We need to assess the situation and focus on what best to do—the greater good.”
“The greater good you speak of is to sacrifice Hunter Sung to the monsters while we leave. Don’t you hear yourself right now?” You glared at the Hunters, your hand stretched out to your side as protection to the E-Rank memory self behind you, all weakened and frail. “Forget it!”
The enclosed cave shook and made everyone wary. “You’re giving us no choice! We’re out of time!”
A smirk formed on your face. “Then why not die together? I rather that than let you let advantage of those you think are prey.”
One wall fell, but what caught Jin-Woo’s attention was the holographic book that appeared behind you, flipping its page to stop at a certain one before encasing both you and his memory self in a protective dome. Just as the Hunter team realized what you had done, goblins brutally ripped them to shreds. You hugged his memory self close to you, your words ringing loud amidst the chaos.
“Jin-Woo, I won’t always be able to care for you. Please know that you should always follow your gut feelings when it comes to shady people. When you can’t beat them in strength and power, protect yourself from danger. By any means necessary.”
Was this why he could tell that Hwang Dongsuk’s team was dangerous and shady from the start? The familiarity of the situation came to him and gave him the direction he needed to take, even when he had forgotten about it all. He encountered a similar situation with another Lizard team in the past, but he had protection, which resulted in a different outcome.
[MEMORY 2: INTRODUCTION TO BETRAYAL] Completed.
Entering [MEMORY 3: HELPING DEAL]
Now he was in his somewhere he was all too familiar with. The hospital where he frequents for his wounds and injuries and his mother. He watched himself stressing over the various papers to pay bills, medical fees for his discharge and treatment, continuous medical fees for his mother, school tuition fees for Jinah, the rent for the month, daily living expenses. The list goes on. He couldn’t help that he was weak and was knocked out of commission during a raid, yet his life goes on and if he can’t afford all this then…
“Let me see that.” The papers suddenly yanked out of his memory-self’s hands. “You just recovered, and you’re panicking looking at all this. Seriously, what am I going to do with you, Sung Jin-Woo?”
Jin-Woo had somehow grown accustomed to your continuous appearance in his memory. Unconsciously, his form would stand as close as he could to you. If he couldn’t, then he’d move to the perfect spot where he could see you and commit you to memory. Well, this was his memory, but he’ll add it to the lost memories he will recover here soon. Okay, stop, too confusing. Either way, he’ll remember. By now, he knew his face shared the same smile his memory-self would have when you appeared by his side.
“I can’t help it.” His memory self sighed in defeat. “I think I need to trouble you for some raid tag-along or invitation.”
“No need.” You looked over the papers and your phone at the same time. “I got a quicker solution for you to earn quick cash. Easily, in fact, you can do it immediately.”
“Really?” His memory-self’s eyes sparkled. “How?!”
You pointed at yourself. “Your piggy bank is right here.”
Jin-Woo and his memory-self had the same reaction as they both gave you a look saying, ‘are you serious?’.
You waved your fingers, setting the papers on the table, “No need to think you owe me or anything, just think of me paying for your friendship or something.” You shook your head, “No, that won’t do. Hmm. Ah, why not let you pay me back in the future? I have a gut feeling that you’ll earn big money then!”
“How can an E-Rank earn big money?” His memory- self questioned you. Jin-Woo wondered the same, you sounded confident, and this wasn’t the first time he had seen you check your phone for something before doing it. It was like a habit of yours or something like your safety net, to double-check before anything. He even tried looking at your phone screen when you do, but it was pitch black for him as if something was preventing him from seeing what you do.
“Trust me on this.” You smiled at his memory- self. “When have I ever done you wrong or go against my word?”
“Never?”
“Exactly. I’m here to help you, Jin-Woo.”
Jin-Woo looked over at you, his hand reaching out to ghost his hand over your form. His hand went through you as if he was a ghost. Although he is inside a memory and none of his actions had any effect on what had already happened, he wanted to keep watching. He wanted to feel physically your presence. The way his memory self was this relaxed when you were around and the trust his memory self has in you made his heartache.
The question in his mind now was how did he forget about you when you’ve made such a big impact in his life?

Entering [MEMORY 4: COMPANION FOR LIFE AND DEATH]
“It’s a chance to grow strong. There’s no way you’d let this opportunity slip by, right?” Your voice made Jin-Woo look back to see his memory-self and you sitting on a bench outside the hospital. “This system of yours is helping you and you should use it to the fullest.”
Jin-Woo’s eyes widened. You know about the system and his quests? This was no ordinary friendship for sure at this point. He thought he didn’t tell anyone of his secret to grow strong, but now there was someone that knew and was encouraging him to push forward. The person was none other than you, still he didn’t expect himself to see it.
“I can’t even finish the daily quests, it’s asking too much of me.” His memory self depressingly said.
You hummed, leaning back. “Think of it this way. If you were given infinite wealth, but you have no idea who to use it or place to store it. What would happen to you?” At his silence, you continued. “You don’t know what to do with it. Or it’s stolen from you. Right now, all you’re doing and what you told me the system is telling you to do is just the stepping stone to your greatness. Instead of risking your risk for some cash, why not dream big?”
“I know but…”
“I’ll do those daily quests with you. 100 push-ups, 100 what? Running too.” You tried listing what you recall. “We’ll do it side by side so you’re not alone in this. I need to exercise anyways.”
“You’d do that for me?” There was a faint blush on his memory - self’s face that made Jin-Woo do a double take. “But I don’t want to bother you too much. You have your work to do too.”
You smiled, “No bother at all. I enjoy helping you. In fact, I’ll be your companion for life and death.”
[MEMORY 4: COMPANION FOR LIFE AND DEATH] Completed.
Entering [MEMORY 5: THE GIFT]
Jin-Woo and his memory-self eyed the sword in your hands, presented to him like a gift. While he was still staring, his memory version asked, “What’s this for?”
“A gift.” You nudged for him to hold it, when he did, you shook your head, “Boy, was that heavy!” You eyed him and shrugged. “You find a use for it. Swords aren’t my fighting style, anyway. Plus, it was collecting dust.”
“I already have my daggers.” He countered.
You gave him a look. “You can use it or you can pass it to someone you trust to use it for you. I don’t mind. Just accept it, please.”
“If you say so.” His memory self sighed and placed it into his inventory.
There it was again. Jin-Woo noticed that you’ve been hinting at future events for a while now. First, you predicted that there would be a time when money wouldn’t be his concern, then you gave him lessons and advice on dangerous events he met with, now you implied that he would have beings that fight for him and by his side, no doubt pointing at his Shadow Army now that he was watching his memories.
You took out your phone again now that your hands were free of the sword, swiping through the screen at something he couldn’t see. “That sword’s called Unbreakable Faith. I think you’ll figure out its function on your own in due time.”
Jin-Woo eyed the phone that you carry everywhere. In every memory he’s seen up to this point, you were never without your phone, even when you were in a fight or raid in a dungeon.
[MEMORY 5: THE GIFT] Completed.
Entering [MEMORY 6: A MISUNDERSTANDING]
Now, this scene was interesting. His Shadows were training, and his memory-self was exchanging blows with you. It was a session where he played his cards, and you countered them―even pointing out weaknesses he had. If his army were there when you were, then do they recall you? That was something he needed to confirm.
Not long after, the two of them were resting, and Jin-Woo stood next to you. Had this not been a memory, there would have been a Jin-Woo on either side of you. Judging from the clothing he was wearing, it was still a time before he was reevaluated and given the S-Rank. The size of the Shadow Army also showed that it was the early days.
“A thought. Since you basically turn any dead beings into undead and a loyal soldier of yours with ‘Arise’, what if you killed me and did that to me?”
The question somehow made Jin-Woo snap as he stared down at the memory of you being that carefree and nonchalant about what you had just suggested. His memory self had the right of it when his hand crashed the water bottle in his hand.
“Why would I ever do that?”
“Oh, I don’t mean just letting you kill me or something. Like if there was an unavoidable situation where you had to kill me for something. Or if you found me dead. It’s better to ‘arise’ me and use me as a loyal soldier, right? I may be called the Laziest Hunter of All Mankind, but I know I have some mad skills and powers that could be yours to dispose of.” You explained your thoughts so casually and detached, as if you didn’t see value in your own life.
“I would never. As if I could just do that to you.”
Jin-Woo saw the way you smiled bitterly while his memory-self was still busy composing himself from rage at the thought of having to do that to you. You who had been helping him since the beginning? He wasn’t sure if his memory self heard what you said later on or not, but now he heard it loud and clear. “If your memories of me are gone, you would. In fact,” There was this emptiness in your tone, more than that, your eyes dulled as if you were a doll. “You’d have forgotten me and pushed me aside.”
“Hey.” Jin-Woo’s memory-self got up and kneeled in front of you. In a blink, you were back to normal and both you and Jin-Woo watched his memory-self intensely. “This is as good of a time as any, actually. If you’re not busy, and I’m not clearing any dungeons with Jinho, would you like to get something to eat together? Not as fellow Hunters, but like a date because I really-“
“Ah! Ah!” You lunged at him and covered his mouth. “What do you think you’re going to say! Think things through! It’s just an idea! Don’t let your impulses take over rational thinking!”
Jin-Woo could predict what his memory-self was about to say, and it hurt him when you halted him in the middle of his confession. Now he knew what his feelings for you were and what you were to him.
[MEMORY 6: A MISUNDERSTANDING] Completed.
Entering [MEMORY 7: FORGOTTEN DEATH]
In this snowy setting, he knew what event this was and when it happened. The Red Gate Incident. The Ice Elves on the battlefield proved it. He took one step and read the memory’s title. His form froze. Death? His head looked around and just in time, he saw you taking an arrow to the chest for him. His form moved before he realized, but just as his arms were ready to catch you, you fazed through him and laid on the snowy ground.
His eyes widened as he moved away, kneeling beside you. The moment he did, his memory self was by your side, screaming and crying for you to wake up and open your eyes. He was desperate. All that screaming made his voice ragged. Still, Jin-Woo could only question why he had forgotten such a memory like that. His form flinched when his surroundings glitched and the emotional memory of himself turned silent and numb, exactly like a switch had snapped in him.
One moment he was hugging your body to his chest, crying and screaming, the next, he had discarded your body to the ground and left to put an end to the battle against Baruka. Jin-Woo knew how it goes, so he stayed by your side. He figured his past self was just too shocked and wanted revenge. He was like that as well. He knew himself. He watched your body glitch occasionally, and every time he reached for you, his hand went through your form. So he stopped trying. He wondered if it was a healing ability you had since he recalled Jinchul asking for you; there was no way you died here.
The exit of the gate generated itself, showing his past victory. Jin-Woo could hardly call it a victory when something like that happened. He watched his past self try to make Baruka a soldier but failed and thus his anger. Jin-Woo understood the sentiment, since that was a strong opponent. However, when his past self was just heading for the gate without you, he shouted, “Aren’t you forgetting someone?!”
To his horror, when he looked back, your body was gone. Where?
“Wait! Don’t go!” Jin-Woo shouted at his past self, he followed right behind his memory self, trying to knock some sense into himself. He knew this was a memory, but seeing you being forgotten and having relived the previous ones, he couldn’t rationally think and act. “You’re forgetting someone important!”
Despite it all, Jin-Woo watched in despair as his memory showed himself leaving the sight without so much as another word or a glance at you. There was no question where you were or the acknowledgement that you sacrificed yourself for him.
In Jin-Woo’s focus on his past self, he didn’t catch your already healed body being carried by a member of the White Tiger’s Guild out of the Red Gate and sent to the hospital.
[MEMORY 7: FORGOTTEN DEATH] Completed.
Entering [MEMORY ???: THE REASON]
Jin-Woo looked around, partially exhausted, mentally. Another dungeon setting. He walked a few steps and sure enough, you were there and so was his past self. The unnerving part was how he saw himself screaming in pain while holding his head. You were glaring at something. He looked over to that direction and saw a window screen. It thought it was his system’s notice, but the design was different, not to mention the colour.
It read the following:
[You have interfered in the protagonist’s path to the point of no return. The help and aid you have given was unnecessary. You will receive a punishment.]
Afterwards, his memory self was knocked unconscious. Jin-Woo watched as you clutched your head from pain, your body shook, and your form swayed and wavered. He heard footsteps behind him and saw a pack of wolves. He turned back to you. You were in no condition to fight and neither was his past self.
But by some miracle, you pushed through and protected yourself and him from the wolves. You collapsed onto the ground, panting, “What kind of punishment is it this time…?”
“This time?” Jin-Woo repeated with dread. Every time you have helped him and aided him, has it resulted in your suffering? He watched familiar system screens trying to undo what was done and failing at every attempt. From the beginning, his system was trying to counter this bug.
You smiled and patted his past self’s head. “Don’t worry, I’m not giving up on you.”
The scene shifted and he saw himself looking out the hospital window while dressed in white. Patient garbs. The door opened and in strolled you with a bouquet and a basket of fruits. “Jin-Woo, how are you feeling? I told you not to push yourself too hard.”
Jin-Woo watched as his past self turned to look in your direction. He flinched at the emotionless expression on his own face. “Who are you?”
You, too, flinched at his cold words. Contrary to Jin-Woo’s confusion, you nodded and smiled bitterly with a soft mutter. “I see, so that’s the punishment. Memory alteration.”
You sighed and placed the flowers and fruit on his table. “I’m a friend of your sister, Jinah. She couldn’t make it today, so I came in her stead. She said to wish you a swift recovery!”
“Oh, thank you for the trouble!” The way his memory self just lit up that easily when it wasn’t you was sickening to Jin-Woo.
The scene shifted again. This time he was at a raid, and you were by his side trying to help him, but he remained unresponsive as he ignored your being entirely. Still, the way you kept continuing to protect him and indirectly help him made Jin-Woo’s head hurt and his heart ache uncontrollably. What sick and twisted ploy is this?
The scene changed. Now it was just himself fighting alone. You weren’t even by his side anymore.
[! ALERT] <FLASHBACKS> have completely be re-experienced, Player will be returned to the present. <RESTORATION> is completed. Everything has been restored.
“Inventory.” Jin-Woo immediately checked. In his inventory, there was this sword he had only seen in his memories. Unbreakable Faith. He received it from you. It was right there now, but before this whole thing happened, it was never there. Someone played him. His fist balled and slammed into the desk, creating a spiderweb of cracks, tears formed and flowed down to his cheek and chin. This heaviness, this unbearable void, all these feelings were rushing at him like a tidal wave.
[Sung Jin-Woo, there is no need to shed tears for a character with such little importance. All you have seen is useless and insignificant. Do not mind the details and look at the bigger picture. You have no need for the forgotten one.]
“How could you do this? To just remove all my memories of someone so important to me, when I was at my lowest?! How could you remove her memories too?! This has nothing to do with you!”
You were innocent, you were merely helping him, you wanted what was good for him. Yet for some reason, your good will was returned with pain and suffering that he was ignorant to. Now, with his returned memories, he knew he had vowed to protect you in return for all the good you have shown him and helped him. What good was that vow when he had forgotten the receiver?! Were you like him? With chunks of memory gone from your mind and don’t even realize the problem?
[You are mistaken. Only your memories have been meddled in. You who the traitorous constellation holds dear and finds solace in. What better torturous punishment than to be unwanted and forgotten by the one person that is treasured to the ends of the universe and more? This is the perfect retribution.]
“What…”
[The forgotten one was doing too much damage to your story, so I saw it fit to send this fragment away from you. I thought my actions were merciful enough, given that I didn’t interfere with your system to have you kill the traitor with your own hands. What was that quest called? <KILL THE ENEMIES>?]
“Mercy…?”
[Express your rage, depression, and murderous intent all you please. None would be effective to a being such as myself. Nor would it bring back that constellation to your side. However, do you truly even need such a presence by your side, Shadow Monarch? For how long have you forgotten those memories? For how long have you ignored such a presence? For how long have you ever needed that traitor? I give you your answers. You have been comfortable without that fragment for too long. What’s does it matter now that you know? It matters not. So, I give you this last chance.} [Do you accept this generosity to permanently forgot ever having this conversation and all relating to the forgotten one?] Accept
“So, you slipped through my system’s defenses by a small miracle, and that gives you the right to redact my memories of a person who saw me at my lowest point, when I was the weakest hunter of all mankind and still treated me like I mattered. But who said you could make her suffer for your own amusement? There’s no denying it. This isn’t revenge, so don’t give me that bullshit about a traitor’s retribution or the sins of a fragment. All I want to know, right now, is her location. Where are you hiding her?”
[You cannot hope to reach that forgotten presence. So do not waste your time and energy. The <SIDE CHARACTER SYSTEM> has made sure that inferior presence will never appear before your eyes ever again.]
[! ALERT] Search for <SIDE CHARACTER SYSTEM> complete. Match found. Devour all memory-related effects of <SIDE CHARACTER SYSTEM>? Including distorted image, videos, objects, memories, and others. Accept Decline
“Devour it all!”
[You will regre& !@#$(@#(%*%@#(*$@)#$*)!*#*&!*@]
[! ALERT] Command received.
Jin-Woo collapsed in his chair. “Where are you. Where are you now, [First Name]?”
[! ALERT]
A quest has arrived. <SEARCH FOR THE FORGOTTEN>
Do you accept?
Yes No
[! ALERT]
A hint will be given upon acceptance.
“A hint.” Jin-Woo read through it. Exhausted from all the ball passing, Jin-Woo felt like a pawn in someone’s game and was accustomed to hurting someone he cared for. Now, he has the chance to take it all back and redeem himself. The first step was to look for you and bring you back to his side. “Accept.”
Do you wish to read [ITEM: LETTER TO THE MONARCH]? Yes No
“Yes.” In an instant, a piece of paper materialized in his hand. His hand brushed the words written on it and checked the signature at the end. When he saw it had your name, he immediately read through it. The more he read the worse his mood. By the end, he slammed it on the desk. “My Shadows!”
At the moment it took for his Shadows to materialize in front of him, enough to fill the room, he had gotten the picture Jinchul had sent to his phone. A clear picture of how you appeared, just as he remembered and saw in his memories moments ago. “Find Hunter [Last Name] and bring her back. Now!”

Summary: (AU) In every lifetime, Sung Jinwoo will make sure to leave a mark on your soul. To always accompany you as your devoted husband to his lovely and cute wife, no matter what...
Watching from a distance, Sung Jinwoo slowly savoured the taste of the wine in his glass, his fingers clenching the fragile stem. He restrained his anger as he witnessed your betrothed humiliate you and revoke your engagement for his mistress. Painting you as a villain to everyone as that foolish of a man flaunts his infidelity called 'love'.
Sung Jinwoo couldn't help but sneer at them and find fate laughable.
He has always been determined to have you as his wife, no matter what. However, fate has a twisted sense of humour. It seems, that in order, for him to have you, you must first endure humiliation and a broken engagement.
If fate is going to play its hand, then don't blame him if he turns the situation to his advantage and claims you as his own. And as for those who have wronged you, they will face the consequences of his wrath.

Chapter 1 - Stupidity
In a banquet hosted by the royal family in the palace, your betrothed, the crown prince hugs his first love protectively in his arms and condemns you without hesitation in front of all the nobles in the kingdom.
A smug smirk on his lips as he looked down on you while you, on the other hand, glared up at him.
The anger that has built over the years was on the verge of breaking as your supposed fiance embarrassed not only you but your family with the breakdown of your engagement.
Your name is Eliana Anderson. You are the eldest child of the Anderson household and the prestigious and precious daughter of the Primes Minister Anderson of your kingdom.
Ever since you came of age, you have been betrothed to the crown prince by the king without your father's approval.
You're the only daughter in your family and your father has always doted on you so of course the matters of your betrothal have been a sensitive and meticulous topic to your father. Not wanting to give his precious daughter to some boorish, unruly bastards.
And so receiving a marriage decree from the king, accompanied by a threat to your family, made your father furious beyond belief that you and your mother worried he might faint from anger.
Your father protested with all his might to deny this engagement, knowing how corrupt the current royal family is and how uncontrolled and malicious the current crown prince is but to no avail; the king ignored him.
In the end, you didn't have a choice but to follow, not wanting your family to end up in a difficult situation by opposing the king.
The crown prince does share the same sentiment on not wanting this engagement; however, that didn't stop him from showing his disgust at you. In fact, he seemed to revel in the opportunity to humiliate you whenever the chance arose.
The torment he has shown you since the first day of your engagement has never ceased, and continues even to this day.
And now he's hellbent on not only humiliating you but also destroying and smearing your family's reputation through the mud.
Letting out a breath, you calmed yourself, knowing that acting hysterical wouldn't benefit you nor save your family from the predicament this prince has thrown at you.
However, the urge to slap this idiot prince was so dangerously tempting that you had to close your eyes, and instead, a cold smile appeared on your lips and looked at your 'fiance'.
"If I may ask Your Highness, what crime have I committed that warrants you painting me as a malicious villain in front of everyone?" You coldly asked, your smile darkening as your hand clenched tighter on the fan you were holding.
Suddenly, a coquettish voice interrupted, "Lady Eliana, please stop lying and admit to your sins. Please don't make this harder than it is."
It was the woman whom your fiance had 'fallen' for. A woman who has brown shoulder-length hair, dopey downturned eyes and dressed in a white gown that accentuated her slim figure.
She has that pure, innocent beauty that always seems to attract men who want to unconsciously protect her.
It was the crown prince's 'first love', Amy Wilson, the illegitimate daughter of Baron Wilson, who was currently nestled in your fiance's arms.
Cowering and trembling as tears gathered in her eyes, looking like a small doe in front of everyone as she tried to confront you, earning her sympathy and pitying looks especially the crown prince and his stupid group of cronies.
You, however, were given a dark and condemning look from them.
You couldn't help but spit in disgust in your heart as you coldly looked at her.
She's a woman completely opposite of you, who has sharp and cold eyes, and whenever you look at the crown prince, a lingering disgust shows in your eyes.
Your once slender and petite frame is now tall and lean, the result of the training you have suddenly undergone to learn self-defence as you were pushed as the crown princess.
Truly a complete opposite from your past self. No more the naivety and joy in your once soft features.
Hearing her words, you sneered.
"As far as I know Lady Tr- Lady Wilson, I have only given you fair warnings on your behaviour and to maintain your distance as Your Highness is my betrothed. As for the accusations of harming you, unfortunately, I do not know of them nor have I done them."
You said as you gave them a cold smile behind your fan, patting yourself for catching yourself from calling that woman 'trash'.
That right, you have labelled that woman 'Trash' the moment she seduced the crown prince and tried to harm you.
Why, you ask?
It's not because you love that rotten bastard but because, in your eyes, the crown prince is a rotten garbage. And since there is a rotten garbage, it only makes sense that it has to be thrown in the trash and that trash is none other than Amy Wilson.
Hiding behind the crown prince's arms, that trash gave you a sly look.
You couldn't help but feel a disgusting chill run down your spine as an unsettling feeling settled in your stomach.
As far as you know, your actions thus far have been appropriate as a crown princess. Neither have you crossed the line of letting your feelings interfere nor have you remained ignorant of the situation to let it escalate.
You didn't hurt this woman in any form, only giving her a fair warning and if you did, you have your servants to witness it. As for the 'evidence' they have presented earlier, if experts, the kings and higher people in ranks were to investigate it, they would know it was nothing but fraud.
It's nothing but false evidence made by both the crown prince and his stupid group of cronies who were supposedly the next heirs to some of the most influential families in your kingdom and yet have been seduced so easily under such a contemptuous woman.
Regardless, they were nothing but brats who only rode their family's coattails and were nothing but a nuisance, using their power to abuse those who were weak and under them.
Thinking so, you curse them again in your heart and tried to calm your nerves as cold sweat still continues to run down your back.
"We have given and presented undisputable evidence, Eliana. Stop your nonsense and admit to it." The crown prince spoke with impatience in his voice, shaking his head as if he were speaking to a child.
Your eyebrow twitched hearing him calling you by your name so directly with such audacity.
If it were any other situation, you would have refuted him without reserve however since you were in such a situation, you can't do so recklessly or else your entire family would be dragged further than it already is.
Suddenly, the crown prince caught your eyes and gave a malicious smirk before declaring.
"Since your actions show just how much of an unreasonable and vile you are. How could I accept you as the crown princess and be the future mother of the kingdom! Hence, as of today, Eliana Anderson, you are stripped of your title as the crown princess and from now on Lady Amy Wilson will be the crown princess. Guards! Arrest her and throw her into prison for the crime of harming the crown princess."
You stared, speechless, at the crown prince at such absurdity.
That is when the unsettling feeling you have since you entered this ball completely grasps your whole being as if a slap hit you on the face. A whisper in the back of your mind becomes louder and louder as you feel something within you is on the verge of breaking.
You have always known that the crown prince was a good-for-nothing bastard. A spoiled bastard who only does whatever he pleases but it wasn't to the point of complete idiocy especially when it comes to you as your betrothal was one of the stepping stones on why he became the crown prince however it seems you have overestimated him.
Feeling your arms being restrained by the knights, you struggled. Your control over your emotions slowly slips as your frustrations and anger show.
You tried to regulate your breathing as you looked at the bastard before you, smiling mockingly as you gradually cracked under him.
He turns his head to look at your father who is now being restrained by the knights also when he tried to charge in your defence. A sickening smile on his lips as he taunted your father.
"Ah, Duke Anderson, unfortunately, you'll have to step down from your position as well since the evidence of your embezzlement and illegal actions have been presented to the king. The king has also decided that Marquis Henlyn will be replacing you as the Prime Minister."
Hearing this you curse the crown prince at such an abrupt accusation.
Your father with embezzlement?! Illegal actions?! being replace?!
Such stupidity!
Your father has been nothing but upright and loyal to the kingdom and its people. If it wasn't for him, this kingdom would have long fallen because of its corrupt royal family!
And now he's being falsely accused!? And on top of it, your father is being replaced by Marquis Henlyn who has been rumoured to have smuggled weapons and slavery between your kingdom and the other countries!
Just what kind of parasite is in that bastard's head to have allowed this especially the king!
You gritted your teeth as you yelled, "Your Highness, do you even realize what you're doing?! If you allow this, not only you and the imperial family will be implicated but the kingdom and its people as well! You say my father has done illegal doings and yet haven't you heard that Marquis Henlyn has smuggled not only weapons but has done illegal trading of slavery of our people! My father has been nothing but loyal and honest! Evidence?! It is nothing but a farce! "
Surely even this prince knows how impossible it was to replace your father as his hard work is more evident than this so-called ' evidence'.
Your father's power and authority are the sole reason he's the current crown prince. Removing you and your father would be a foolish move even the king knows this thus the reason he has given that marriage decree without your family's permission and yet why this?!
However, it seems not only have you overestimated the prince but that of the king as well as the prince laughed at you and leaned down as he whispered.
"Do you really think my father cares about your family now that your father has crossed his line? Not only has your father obstructed the royal family again and again, but this time, my father has had enough and since I have gained your father's authority and power, I no longer have any need of your family and my father wholeheartedly agreed to it."
Realization dawned on you as your eyes widened at the truth. A small yet audible sound of snapping resounded in you.
Suddenly a loud heartbroken cry erupted in your throat as you struggled fiercely, no longer caring for anything or your appearance.
Annoyed by your resistance, one of the knights kicks the back of your knees, resulting in you slamming your kneecap onto the floor.
Pain shot through your body. Your eyes reddened and tears welled up, not only from the pain but your control over your bottled emotions have now dissipated.
Gone! Everything you have worked hard for is now gone!
You shook your head and bit your lips until it bleed.
No, this can't be happening!
Even if you hated the crown prince, your position as the crown princess was the only thing that you couldn't let go of.
After all, because of the marriage decree these unscrupulous, unreasonable people have shoved down your throat, you have no choice but to let go of him. Someone so important in your life was exchanged for something you didn't want.
Feeling your cheeks wet, you realize that your tears have finally fallen.
Regret fills you to the point of suffocation as your mind unconsciously remembers the young boy you adored the moment you met him.
How you wish to have held his hand longer...
A/N: I'm sorry for the delay. A relative of mine has passed away and it has been stressful and with work thrown in. It had been chaotic instead which made it harder for me to write and edit.
Though I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of the Serendipity Series! If it's not too much, please comment on your thoughts. Thank you!

This touched my heart😭🥰
I always thought I was a failure whenever I abandoned a fic for reasons and for never updating or releasing new fic for my lovely readers. However, reading this made me aware that at least I made people happy with fics that I've released in some way or another.
And as a reader, it made me realize again how much we look forward to updating, or just reminiscing while reading from our favorite author and favorite stories. That even if its abandon and never updated, we still love those fanfics no matter what.
You know what?
I love you, fics that take months to update. I click on the newest chapter and have no memory of this place and get to go back some chapters and rediscover how much i love everything about this story.
I love you, fics that take years to update. I think of you fondly, and know your names, go search for you and see an update from this year and scream, diving in uncaring of any missed details (i will finish the update and read you in reverse because this is a treat you have bestowed)
I love you, fics that probably will never update again. Thank you for being a roman empire for my mind, thank you for teaching me about the ephemeral fandom experience, for inspiring a thousand million what if-s, for being a comfort read and a nostalgia read and a reread.
I love you fic writers, who jump into projects and stories with enthusiasm. I love you when you succeed in pumping out those chapters and that love doesn't go away when you stop.
I love you fic writers who post and then get in your own head and never feel confident enough to update, whether it's at all or whether it's just that one story.
I love you fic writers, who have a fandom or media hurt you to the point of abandoning or having a hard time with their WIPs.
I love you fic writers, who lose interest or have life changes or illness or bad memory. Thank you for being part of the fandom, a core part of the fandom. Thank you for the time spent in the fandom.
I love you, fic writers who try out something new and then stop. You're so valid.
I love you, WIP fics that may or may not ever get finished. Thank you for brightening my day in the way only you could have.
