I had just finished one of the best games I have ever played, only to look up and find I was no longer in my room, but kneeling in the bloody sand of a colossal, sun-baked fighting arena.

How did this happen?

How did things go from playing a video game to being transported into the body of a background character within the game, who was exonerated and abandoned due to not having as much magical potential as the rest of the family?

…A character who was doomed to die a very horrible death right at the beginning of the game?

A knock on Seo-yeon's door snapped her out of her reverie, and she slowly opened her eyes. Pushing herself up to sit, she turned toward the door, then said in a low voice, "Come in."


In response, the door creaked open, and a female Naga slithered inside.


"My lady." She lowered her head slightly. "It's time."


Seo-yeon pressed her lips together, then after a few seconds, she replied, "Alright, we'll leave soon."


The Naga nodded, turned, and slithered out of the room, politely closing the door behind her.


But almost immediately after, she began to cough violently. She covered her mouth with a trembling hand as black blood seeped between her fingers. It took a long while for the terrible fit to pass, after which she brought down her hand and stared at the blood.
