Chapter 3

“What the hell is this……”

After I saw my death, the nonsense followed again.

There was someone other than myself in the mirror.

Confused, I couldn’t keep my mouth closed. Then the woman in the mirror also opened her mouth.

“Crazy.”

Without realizing it, cursing came out of my mouth.

In the last day or two, only nonsensical things happened.

Why the hell did these things happen to me? What is happening to me?

It was then.

“Ouch!”

I felt intense pain as if someone was stabbing me in the head.

In my head, memories that did not seem like mine began to appear.

The young girl of the count family. It was the memory of a woman who was born and grew up as a wizardess.

I didn’t have all the memories from when she was born until now, but the important memories told me what was happening to me now.

I became the heroine of the romance fantasy novel I saw called .

Once I figured out the situation, the headache went away. I immediately looked in the mirror and saw a strange woman, no, myself.

The black hair that goes down to the waist. The starry gold eyes. The cute face that had just turned twenty still had some baby fat.

The stature was a little on the small side, but that’s why I liked it more.

I used to be tall and skinny. So my new reflection in the mirror right now was so cute and lovable even when I looked at myself.

‘Even as a woman, I fall in love with my new look.’

Leira Karjas.

This woman I possessed was the heroine of the reverse harem romance fantasy novel .

Just looking at the title, it seemed like a lewd reverse harem novel where beasts and wizardess mingled their bodies whenever and wherever, but in fact, it wasn’t that kind of novel.

The plot of the novel was simple. It is a novel where the heroine, a wizardess, Leira, uses magic to help several male characters and is loved by them.

When I first saw this novel, I was disappointed because the title and content did not match. But as I read, the heroine was cute and the male protagonists were sexy, so I really liked it.

However, there’s not even a kiss scene in the main story, let alone erotic content, so I was hoping for a dirty scene in the side story.

Of course, none of that came out.

Anyway, it is a novel that I enjoyed reading in its own way, but I never thought that I would possess it.

The good thing is that I did not have a major mental breakdown even in the situation of ‘possession’, perhaps because I’ve already been through absurd things in my life.

Rather, I was grateful for the fact that I had a different life after my death.

I was even more satisfied because the body I possessed was not an extra, a supporting role, or a villainess, but a heroine.

However, there was something a little disconcerting.

Obviously, as far as I know, this novel was for all ages. There was no R-19 tag on the cover of the novel. So what happened to me yesterday?

Could it be that the contents of the novel were changed without my knowledge?

It was then.

A memory suddenly came to mind.

“Leira, now that you have come of age, you know what to do, right?”

“Yes, mother.”

It was a conversation with Celia Karjas, the head of the Karjas family, and the heroine’s mother.

“Are you going to grow up as a wizardess diligently for two years and then come back? On the day you return, if your mana is comparable to mine, I will hand over the Karjas family to you.”

So far this is what I know. Because the starting point of the original story was from that time.

After that, Leira traveled the world to do the right thing using her magic, to inherit the Karjas family.

The wizards of the Karjas family had a peculiar constitution in which their magic increased when they used magic for good purposes.

So, Leira in the original did a lot of good things herself, and in the process, she naturally met the male protagonists. And the main story was to heal their wounds and receive love from them.

So should I naturally live like Leira in the original story?

But then another memory came to mind.

This was a completely different memory from the original story.

“Do you know how to increase mana, Leira? Use your magic for good things and……”

knock knock.

As I was in my thoughts, I heard a knock.

I looked at the tightly closed door, then the door opened……and the man who mingled with me last night.

Cain, the butler, came in.

He walked over to me with an indifferent face.

I opened my eyes wide in surprise and looked up at him.

Meanwhile, Cain’s large hand clasped my face.

And a pleasant voice whispered to me.

“You are hungry.”

Before I could say anything, Cain’s lips touched mine.

The voice of Leira’s mother, the woman who is now my mother, seemed to ring in my ears.

“……and consume men’s energy.”

What I did yesterday was a way to consume mana and a way to increase mana

Cain licked my lips lusciously. As if my tongue were a savior, he tied it strongly and sucked it away.

The rushing kisses were unfortunately short-lived.

It was a short time, but Cain kissed me briefly before saying, “The food is going to be ready soon.”

Cain said so and after he bowed his head slightly to me, he walked out of the room.

After he left, I flopped down on the bed.

I even had sex with him yesterday, but I didn’t get used to his picturesque appearance at all.

Beautiful silver hair, a face with thick lines. A strong forearm that embraces me. Besides, lips that are very good at kissing.

He is so perfect.

‘It’s perfect that you knew I’m hungry and filled me up.’

As soon as that thought occurred to me, I realized why I felt sweet when I had sex yesterday.

By consuming a large amount of a man’s energy, I gained mana and my mana increased.

‘Whatever it is, I felt the energy as a taste.’

Ha ha ha.

I smiled sadly, concentrating on the memories that slowly popped into my head.

“Leira, you know how to increase your mana, don’t you? It is to use magic for good things and to consume men’s energy.”

With her mother’s words, Leira’s memories of the past came to mind.

It was a memory of the moment when my mana increased when I was doing good things, such as helping others.

When I felt proud of the thought of helping others, a sense of comfort, not sweetness, spread throughout my body.

The sensation was different from when I consumed a man’s energy.

The number of sensations felt was different depending on the amount of power I used, but anyway, my mental satisfaction was great after helping others.

It’s as if I have been completely healed.

On the other hand, my physical satisfaction was great when I consumed Cain’s energy yesterday.

Even though my mana did not increase as much as when I did good deeds, ​I could feel the sweet feeling and be able to fill my hunger to some extent whenever I touched him.

In conclusion, both doing good deeds and consuming men’s energy were like food to me.

However, the former was like a well-prepared Korean table, while the latter was like a highly addictive drug.

Of course, neither did any harm to me. Rather, it was beneficial to consume both unconditionally.

According to the original story and Leira’s memory, the supply of mana was easy when I lived in Count Karjas’ residence.

In the residence of Count Karjas, Leira, who was not an adult, consumed a potion to increase her mana.

It was a potion her mother made just for her. So it was not available in the market.

But now, I, Leira Karjas, am independent. I am also quite poor because I was only independent three days ago!

Fortunately, there was a house to stay in.

​Although this old and spacious space where only me and Cain stayed, it was the castle of the Karjas family.

Recalling the memories up to that point, I looked around the room.

​Fortunately, the old parts had been repaired through magic.

However, as Leira repaired the castle with magic, her mana became insufficient, and as a result, she consumed the insufficient mana through Cain yesterday.

And I possessed Leira at the time when I consumed Cain’s energy.

‘Ha ha ha. It was such a bizarre thing to happen.’

I laughed sadly, then shook my head.

Anyway, now that I have become Leira, it was time to think about my future as Leira Karjas.

Although the castle was repaired to some extent, I was still poor.

At least when I left the Karjas’ residence, there were a few jewels that my mother had in my hand, so I would be able to live my life for a while.

But it was only a matter of time before the money ran out.

And in order to earn money, I had to faithfully lead a life of a wizardess.

A wizardess receives various quests, solves the quests, and earns money.

​Leira in the original story would often make money by doing that.

However, when Leira did quests, she couldn’t do the good deeds she often did, so she didn’t do the quests often.

​So by the time the original story reached halfway, Leira and Cain were poor.

At least one of the male protagonists who loved Leira, who was wealthy, rescued her.

​That was later anyway, and now I have no money.

And I didn’t want to be poor like Leira in the original story! I was enough being poor in my past life.

So, unlike her, I was going to get a bunch of quests to earn money.

The problem is, I had to have quite a lot of mana to live as a wizardess.

But now that there is no potion my mother makes, I had to do something else to consume mana.
