“Do you have a ticket?”

I guess he was just skeptical since I appeared like a villager.

“Absolutely.”

“Hmm……”

The sailor carefully examined the ticket. It seemed as if he was afraid that I would try to smuggle into Arcanium, the world’s top magical city.

With a hesitant expression, the sailor brushed past me. I had no choice but to relax as soon as I boarded the airship.

“Wow….”

Even if I had been on an airplane, it was an airship. Both the words and the atmosphere were miles apart.

The airship was almost in the shape of a cruise ship, and while you might be thinking about how luxurious it could be to travel to a nearby Arcanium, keep in mind that this was an airship heading to Stella Academy.

The majority of the passengers on board were students from wealthy families on their way to Stella Academy.

After some time, the ship's engine roared, and the moment I felt the cold breeze kissing my cheeks, I knew that the ship had long left the mortal land.

The Airship did not feel stuffy like an airplane, where you can only see outside through a small window.

Perhaps that was why there were a lot more students outside than I expected.

“Look at that jerk gazing around.”

“Is this your first time on an airship?”

“You must be from the village.”

“Tsk, Stella is one of the most prestigious academies in the world, but I don’t know why they allow commoners to attend. What a letdown.”

“I also don’t get it.”

I was able to hear the contempt around me because I had sensitive hearing.

‘Ahhh, rich kids are the same no matter earth or a magic world.'

What could one expect from teenagers’ level of gossip? I wanted to summon everyone to the bathroom and have them wet their hair in the toilet bowl, but I held back because I did not want to be like these teenagers.

“Look, they’re smoking.”

And I acted like an adult.

[TN:- Lol]

“Yeah?! Arcanium is a no-smoking zone for teenagers!”

The sailor dashed over to the students I had pointed out.

“This… is a cigarette!”

Finally, while going through their belongings, they discovered a cigarette stash. In such a situation, an average student’s attitude would be fixed.

If you are a commoner, admit that you do not own it.

“Let it go! I am the heir of Baron Denington of the Kingdom of Adolevit!”

If you are a noble, threaten by emphasizing your noble status.

However, nobility or anything else was unimportant in the flight to Stella. They had to follow the school’s strict rules from the moment they arrived. The sailor opened his mouth to speak.

That, however, was unnecessary.

Suddenly, the Heir to Baron Dennington abruptly closed his mouth. The sailor took a step back, and the students split to pave way as if they were hypnotized.

The world almost stopped, and the commotion died down when a girl appeared.

Those silver hair fluttered chaotically but still shone with grace, and her red eyes, darker than blood, appeared to possess the power to stun anyone, while her beautiful appearance blurred the presence of everyone around her.

Others lived in a 480p world, while she lived in a 1080p full HD world.

With such a clear and vivid appearance, it was very easy to guess her identity.

Hong Bi-Yeon Adolevit.

Princess of the Kingdom of Adolevit.

My first thought when I saw her was, ‘Wow, she’s a celebrity.’ But, then I felt compassion for her.

In this storyline, Hong Bi-Yeon was a villainess. With that, she was doomed to a bad ending.

She was destined to meet her end in a variety of ways after a series of nerve-wrecking battles with Edna.

She was brutally murdered in some endings, while she was bullied by the entire school and then expelled in others. She was even imprisoned in the countryside to be punished for eternity. In the worst cases, she was humiliated to the point of being unable to lift her head again.

It appeared that they were attempting to give the character Hong Bi-Yeon a bad ending on purpose.

“P-Princess…”

The Heir of the Denington family trembled at the sight of his kingdom’s princess. However, Hong Bi-Yeon took no action against him, which caused a commotion in the cabin.

She simply swept a disdainful glance and walked past him.

For a brief moment, my gaze was glued to Hong Bi-Yeon’s back as her hair fluttered wildly. It was a far cry from her first appearance in the game.

Despite her villainous title, there was a reason she was popular with many male players.

It was definitely a little frightening.

She was lovely, but I was afraid if I talked to her, I would be reprimanded. I entered the cabin after seeing Hong Bi-Yeon leave.

It was lunchtime, and the cabin had convenience stores, so many students were eating snacks.

‘The price is extremely high.’

At that price, I could eat a full meal and drink coffee. When I heard students whispering next to me, I slumped on a chair and stared blankly out the window, thinking it would be better to just starve now and eat later when I reach the Arcanium.

“Hey, isn’t that Eisel over there?”

“Huh? I understand. Eisel, the eldest daughter of the traitor, Grand Duke Morph…”

“Shh. Don’t bring it up. What if she overhears?”

“That’s right.”

'Eisel? A familiar name.' Following the students' eyes, I noticed a lonely silhouette sitting in the corner reading a book.

She had sky-blue hair, and like Hong Bi-Yeon, a beautiful noble appearance as if blessed by God. Those facial features and the aura which seemed to refuse anyone's company, appeared to be certainly familiar to me, but I could not recall why.

I hurriedly took out the spec and checked her information.

[Eisel Morph]

[Miserable Mistress.]

[Loves pizza and pickle soup.]

[Eldest daughter of Grand Duke Morph.]

[Father is dead and the family is in ruins.]

[Dies later on.]

‘What the heck. Was she that Miserable Mistress?’

She reminded me of the gray-robed girl I saw off this morning. I was not certain, but the gray-robed and Eisel had to be the same person.

'Anyway, I’ve noted it as one of the important agenda.'

The information contained in these Spec was a summary of information gathered by community members in their own unique way.

Of course, I did not record much because I was not particularly interested in the game characters to begin with, but the girl named Eisel was especially unfamiliar.

What concerned me the most was the ‘Died later’ part. Community members rarely used the word “death” to describe a character.

Since it was a simulation game, there were numerous routes and possibilities, so if she could be saved even once, the word ‘Death’ would not appear.

However, despite the numerous efforts of countless players over the course of ten years, that girl Eisel appears to be an absolutely hopeless character.

In other words, no matter where or how she dies, the girl’s death is unstoppable.

‘Her father was most likely murdered by the Dark Demons.’

Dark Demons, those who possessed magic powers, had accepted the otherworld invasion, swore loyalty to the demons, and converted themselves to one of them.

The ability to freely transform their bodies and use magic were not only powerful but they were portrayed as evil and the players’ true enemies.

The Dark Demons continued to invade in order to encroach this magical world into the ‘Underworld,’ such as by opening the ‘Persona Gate’ or liberating the ancient ‘dungeon.’ The Stella Academy was responsible for training magic warriors to combat it.

And she was the world’s ‘Original Female Protagonist,’ with the ability to fight such Dark Demons.

However, to be honest.

I did not want to die to get involved with the main character as well as the supporting characters.

The female protagonist had a very special ability to purify the black magic, but she couldn't see past the treachery of humans, and treated everyone with innocence, which could potentially endanger the people close to her.

The main protagonist's actions did not matter much.

Because, I wanted to get to the ‘True Ending.’

‘If they want to play, I won't mind teaching them a move or two.’
