Chapter 238 The night was deep. The night sky, filled with demonic energy, was so thick that not a single starlight could penetrate it, leaving the world in complete darkness. Yet, the darkness did not feel intimidating, perhaps because of the warm flame beside her, gently enveloping the surroundings. Was it said that the flame appears when one feels joy or happiness? Recalling the words she had heard a little while ago, Sylvia smiled softly. Did she know just how happy Sylvia was when she said she was glad they had become friends? As Sylvia thought about this and shifted in her place, she turned her head slightly to look at where Scarlet was lying. At that moment, Scarlet seemed to sense Sylvia's gaze, and as she glanced back, their eyes met. They naturally exchanged soft smiles. Just that small exchange felt like it melted away the fatigue and hardships of the past, and Sylvia thought that Scarlet resembled the flame she had kindled. Like a flame that gave her strength, shining w...

Chapter 237 “I think it was because I was scared.” As I told Sylvia that it was fear, I continued, remembering my parents, who were the most precious people in my life. “I’m the type of person who gives everything to the people I care about.

Scared that the people I care about might sacrifice themselves for me. That I’d lose someone important to me.” Even here in this world, Yoon Si-woo, someone I came to treasure, had sacrificed himself for me. “And you, Sylvia, you’re the s...

Chapter 236 "Why did you come, you idiot!!" "Why did you come?" I shouted at Sylvia. Sylvia, startled by my sudden outburst, looked at me with wide, surprised eyes. "N-No, you scared me, Miss Scarlet. Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?" She asked in a flustered voice, confused by my abrupt change in behavior. Her words became the trigger that caused my emotions to explode. "You’re asking why? Do you really not understand?" Seeing her standing there as if she didn't realize how serious the situation was, frustration and a mix of complicated emotions surged within me. With a twisted expression, I raised my voice at her angrily. "What were you thinking coming here...! This place... do you even know how dangerous it is...?!" As I yelled, I took in the scenery behind Sylvia. The entire area was tainted, engulfed in dark, corrupted energy. The land was barren, not a single blade of grass in sight, making it an extremely hostile...
