CH 1

01. Little Red Riding Hood.

In my previous life, I was a person with a lesser taste.

Why, there’s a lot of popular keywords. Sweet water, healing water, healer, things like that.

Strangely, my heart couldn’t respond to that keyword.

With very few tastes, I searched for another novel. A lot of waste passed by me.

‘It’s so boring. Is there anything more stimulating?’

While looking for something that will satisfy my taste buds, I discovered this novel.

R-rated, desolate, makjang, dominant female.

(Note: Makjang means stylistic, tonal, or narrative element in dramas that chooses to play up outrageous storylines to keep viewers hooked despite how ridiculous the stories become; exaggerated drama.)

The fairy tale “Little Red Riding Hood” in which the male protagonist is a wolf.

How nice it was for the male protagonist, who was unwilling at first, but eventually clinged to the female protagonist.

Having been hit by my taste, I had no choice but to fall in love with the novel.

This is the background of the novel.

They were living in a world where humans and suin people coexist.

(Note: Suin means more of a human with animal characteristics such as animal ears and tails but usually has a human body and faces so slightly more on the human side than a furry.)

The suin’s area was divided into four zones based on the east, west, north, and south, among which the wolves that reside in the north and the dragons in the south had a very bad relationship.

It was because of the legend that wolves stole the dragon’s heart.

After experiencing a second awakening, the dragon now has two hearts.

One of their two hearts is dedicated to a companion. It was to share the overflowing power.

Dragons who could not meet their companions were like attempting suicide.

It is said that the dragon, who lost his heart to a wolf and could not receive a companion, left these words before he died.

“I will find that wolf again. No matter what, absolutely.”

It didn’t come out in detail how the wolf stole the heart.

There were many who said it was just a legend and passed it on as a story.

However, there were more people who believed in legends.

Still, the dragons were nothing but the kings of the beast world. How will the beasts defeat the dragon?

As a result, the two tribes had a very, very bad relationship. It was no exaggeration to say that it was a hateful relationship.

Against this backdrop, the heroine in the novel, Little Red Riding Hood, was the only sister of the chief of the dragons.

A red cloak with black hair like a night sky and red eyes like a ruby.

How did she become a person who wields a whip and orders obedience?

The cause was the death of his brother, the chief.

Her brother was born with one heart like the dragon whose heart was stolen by the wolf in legend.

“He really came back to kill the wolf!”

“Then does the war between the North and the South begin again?”

The prisoners whispered, saying that the legendary dragon returned to kill the wolves.

The chieftain, the protagonist of the rumor, thoroughly hides the fact that he is worried about his younger sister.

He trains endlessly to control the overflowing power, and in the end, he wears a magic restraint sphere like a dog collar to control his magic.

However, the tragedy was bound to be revealed.

The Little Red Riding Hood, which was clear and pure like the main character in other fairy tales, witnessed the death of his brother with both eyes.

He was destroyed because he could not overcome the power of fire he had.

The only death of a family. It was natural that the heart of Little Red Riding Hood turned black.

“I’m going to kill all the wolves.”

Little Red Riding Hood  tried to get rid of the northern part where winter fell.

Thus, the war between the North and the South began. The wolves died helplessly in her hands.

It was around that time when the winter forest melted into the flames.

In front of someone’s burnt body, a boy was shaking.

The boy was neither a complete wolf nor a human being.

A mixture of human and beast. It was a hybrid that had only been heard by rumors.

The hybrid trembled and begged.

“Save me…”

“… Are you a hybrid?”

“Please, please don’t kill me. Please… I mean, you can kill me. So just my sister’s corpse, please…”

Little Red Riding Hood didn’t hate the boy pleading. She made the hybrid wolf hers.

To be exact, she used it as her pet.

And she begins to tame him to her taste.

You already know what that “taming” means.

‘That’s right! This is it!’

In my previous life, I enjoyed reading that novel. Since stimulating things are always thrilling.

I even applauded the author’s imagination for reinterpreting the classic fairy tale <Little Red Riding Hood> in this way.

‘Writer is the best! Little Red Riding Hood is the best!’

… I definitely said Little Red Riding Hood was the best, not the wolf.

I like dragons better.

In addition, I didn’t say that I wanted to be the male lead’s older sister.

No, I said something similar.

It was a scene in which she realized that he was swayed by his body, and that his denial  mind was finally enraptured by Little Red Riding Hood.

A beautiful boy who sheds tears.

Wow. What a perfect sentence this is. The best, perfect, 500 rounds of applause. The male protagonist  crying beautifully is the best!

‘I want to see you in person!’

…. I prayed and I was reborn as his older sister. It also plays the role of a dead body that burns to death, haha.

If my wish had come true so easily, I should have begged him to make me rich. Damn it.

‘You’re a crazy writer.’

I gritted my teeth when I saw my mother’s swollen belly.

I lost my mind when I imagined the future of my unborn younger brother, who would continue his life in a sexual sense.

Besides, I would end up as ashes!

Whatever it was, it had to be prevented.

Even if I told my mom what Little Red Riding Hood was, she wouldn’t believe it. Eventually, I decided to use the last resort.

At dawn, when the darkness had not yet cleared, I picked up my dad’s axe. And I went home by myself. And I broke the house myself. It was a house that I built hard with my father.

I lied to my surprised mother for the first time.

“Mom! The wolves broke our house! If we don’t leave, they’ll destroy everything!”

The crying child’s lie worked well.

So my mother and I hid in the deep forest. Deep, deeper.

My mother gave birth to Zion safely, but her physical condition worsened because she gave birth without anyone’s help. Because there were no wolves to help the hybrid give birth.

I was desperate, and I was looking for something to eat. I used the only herbal medicine book left by my father to dig up herbs and sell them myself. Of course, with my face hidden.

“You’re so young, yet you’re trying to earn lots of money!”

I was hit a lot by those who didn’t like it.

But I held it in. Because it was the only thing I could do.

However, my mother’s condition showed no signs of improvement.

That was the day my mother left my side.

My mother took a deep breath and took my hand. She smiled faintly as her life was dying.

“Eve, a child who has done good deeds will receive good fortune in life, you must become a good child.”

“Mom…”

“… I’m sorry, my daughter.”

Finally, mother closed her eyes.

“Mom…”

Only then could I cry comfortably.

That day, I hugged Zion, who was asleep, and decided to survive no matter what. It was a day of heavy snowstorm.

****

Even if I was reincarnated in a novel, it was a reality for me now.

I had to protect my family and future unconditionally.

But I brought Little Red Riding Hood myself.

And I treated it myself!

It was as if the dead flag was inserted directly.

‘Why did I have to think of my mom’s will then…’

I was so focused on the word ‘fairy tale’ that I forgot that this novel was a waste.

‘No, it’s not.’

I shook my head hard.

It was still before the story began. There’s still a chance left.

I couldn’t walk smoothly to the road of makjang.

“Sister? What’s wrong?”

When he heard a short scream, Zion approached. Then the eyes of Little Red Riding Hood reached Zion.

“Oh, no!”

I jumped up from my seat.

Then quickly hid Zion behind my back. I couldn’t show Zion to Little Red Riding Hood.

“… Sister?”

Zion peeked out, but I desperately moved my hand to block the view.

“No! Don’t look!”

In my desperate gesture, Little Red Riding Hood blinked several times.

Then slowly sat down with her upper body up.

“Huh??”

I stopped moving gestures with a slight sense of distance.

The Little Red Riding Hood in front of me looked too young.

‘Since she did something like that with Zion in the novel, she should at least be an adult…’

No matter how I looked at it, it looked like she was the same age as Zion. I think she’s about 8 years old.

In addition, the Little Red Riding Hood in the novel was suspicious of people and do not easily trust them.

However, there was no anger or flesh in the child’s red eyes.

‘The possibility of changing the future—– Is there still a possibility?’

I carefully approached Little Red Riding Hood. The girl’s red eyes capture med

“… Hey, are you okay?”

At my question, the child blinked silently.

A straight gaze that looks at the opponent without avoiding it. It was exactly how it was described in the novel. I continued to swallow my saliva.

“I brought you here because you were lying down in the forest. You didn’t  look so good…”

I put my hand on the child’s forehead, making up a sweet voice.

I felt the heat.

As the cold air flowed away, the hot heat returned. I frowned slightly

‘This isn’t heat, but the power a dragon has, right?’

It was also understandable that herbs and magic did not work. It was at that time when I was about to let go of my hand with a little nod.

A small hand grabbed my hand.

“O-oh my gosh.”

I flinched with the strong grip that was not like a child.

“…….”

The child was looking up at me with her eyes shining.

‘I don’t have a good feeling about this.’

A deep sense of anxiety was creeping into my heart.

“You…”

Little Red Riding Hood blinked her big eyes and opened her mouth.

“Did you save me?”

“Well, I just happened to….”

“Why?”

“……?”

Why? Is there a reason to save a sick person?

I mumbled and smiled awkwardly. Be as kind as possible. Kindly!

“Because it’s natural to treat someone who’s sick.”

The child closed her mouth silently. Was my answer weird?

“Does it hurt your pride because you were treated by a wolf?”

I waited for the child’s answer with anxiety.

“… Then.”

The child slowly looked up and looked at me. With her cheeks blushed shyly.

“You’re my savior.”

“What, I don’t think I’m a benefactor, no, wait.”

At that moment, I got goosebumps. I opened my mouth, forgetting that I had a child in front of me.

What do you mean a savior?

I think I’ve ‘seen’ what this child said.
