Chapter 1: Things have come to this, let’s eat first
The windows were plastered with leaves so thin that they were close to transparent, allowing the morning sunlight to softly and warmly penetrate into the room.
A pleasant wood fragrance wafted throughout the room.
The cool breeze from the courtyard gently caressed his body, and he felt a chill run through his body and his eyes unconsciously opened.
It wasn’t the room’s modern, European-style furniture that caught his attention.
Rather, it was the reflection of a good-looking face on the mirror not far away, and the cool emerald green eyes couldn’t hide a little bit of sleepiness tinged with confusion.
It was like trying to reject people while looking harmless at the same time.
He raised his hand and touched his face.
And the black-haired, green-pupiled boy reflected in the mirror made the exact same motion.
“Is this ……?”
Ranch muttered.
He had, it seemed, traveled.
This familiar look in the mirror was one he knew all too well, a character from the new game their company was developing, Lionheart of Thorns.
As the main beauty of the game, he was organizing his colleagues to offer incense to the planner’s mother, only to feel like the brain disconnected like a black eye, and then open his eyes is now seeing everything.
At the same time, a large amount of information flooded into his mind like a tidal wave, and he struggled to understand the current situation.
Then, his frown deepened.
Because he was not …… crossing over to some hero with unlimited potential or a ten evil villain.
Rather, he was a drag queen character from one of the game’s episodic episodes, The Rise of Talia, who had flopped at light speed.
The teenager named “Ranch” is nothing but good-looking, rich, and not very smart!
Since he was assigned to draw the stand-up of the game’s major character “Talia”, all the characters in the “Talia”-related episodes were also drawn by him, including “Ranch”.
I never imagined that I would become a dragon set Ranch ……
I’m sorry.
I drew Ranch in the spirit of professionalism.
He covered his chin and couldn’t help but think.
“That said, this rich nobleman is why this rich nobleman is flopping around ……”
Even though he belonged to the art department, Guru had played this game and had gotten some of the character’s persona copy.
Soon, he remembered–
There was a guy who would be interested in the life of “Ranch Rich”.
And that guy is the main character of the Gaiden storyline, and also the game’s scheduled late villain – the end of the demon race, Princess Talia.
At this point in time, although the great demon Talia has not yet risen to power and appears to be just a downtrodden girl, her strength is already high.
She has been trying to disguise herself in order to be able to survive in the human kingdom.
Unless pushed, she would not be able to hold back the violent and ferocious nature within her.
And in the Gaiden episodes.
“Ranch” is the first human to provoke Talia into an outburst of anger after she goes into exile.
The trigger for the feud was Ranch hitting the Dark Pigeon, a demon sent by Talia to scout for information, as if it were prey.
When Talia found Ranch two days later.
When Talia found Ranch two days later, the nobleman, who had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, did not apologize and mocked Talia, who looked like a beggar.
He even threatened to grill her other demons and throw her a super-awesome barbecue party!
In the end.
The “Ranch”, who had been a dead man, was killed by Talia in seconds, exploding a large pile of gold coins and taking away the ancient relics of his family’s treasures, [Psalms of Compassion].
These plundered wealth, but also become Talia’s demon race on the road to restoration of the country is incredibly important start-up funds.
In a sense, our living Buddha, Mr. Ranch, is indeed Talia’s great benefactor.
“I don’t want to be Talia’s top one big brother-!”
Sitting on the bed, Ranchi covered his head as if he was first waking up from a nightmare.
Calm down a bit.
Think good thoughts.
Things aren’t really that bad.
Since he knew about the “Ranch and Talia feud”, he just had to avoid it!
Don’t piss off the Demon Big Brother, and send her out of your own territory safely, OK!
Right now, in this brand new world.
Ranchi felt a long-lost motivation and heart!
It must be the blessing of his previous life of obeying the law and doing good deeds.
Next, the beautiful life as a rich young man began!
Economic freedom, no more overtime! Rich and powerful, so dreamy!
Just then.
A slight knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
“Young Master, are you awake already? You asked me to wake you up earlier yesterday ……”
Seemingly hearing the movement in the room, a faint female voice came from outside the door.
“Awake.”
Ranch answered, getting out of bed and nearly tripping over a pile of bottles at the foot of the bed just as he stepped onto the floor.
He froze.
And rightly so.
Ever since the predecessor had just turned sixteen and come of age last month, he’d picked up a bad habit of drinking.
So the memories of the last month have always felt a bit disconnected.
It seems like the predecessor, too, often played drunk and did stupid things when he was drunk.
I don’t know if Ranchy’s “messing with Talia” in the original episode was because he was drunk.
That’s why alcoholism is bad for you.
Ranchi lamented as he changed his clothes.
Just walked out of the bedroom.
He then noticed the shivering maid standing by the door.
The maid seemed to be compelled to fulfill the evil young man’s task, and was afraid that the evil young man who was awakened would be furious and scold her.
“Good morning.” Ranch said in a calm tone.
“Eh?”
The maid revealed a surprised look and subconsciously made a sound.
It seemed to be judging Ranch’s state of mood today.
She then reacted and hurriedly said to Ranchi:
“Master is already waiting for you in the dining room.”
Ranchi nodded.
He knew that both of his predecessor’s parents were still alive, and that he was not an orphan.
It was just that they were too busy running the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, and had practically adopted a free-range strategy towards Ranchi since recent years.
Even these days, when his father returned home, it was considered a rare event in the predecessor’s memory.
While thinking about it, Ranchi walked down the mansion’s aisle.
All the servants without exception would cower, bow deeply, and then run away as fast as they could.
It seemed that the predecessor hadn’t caused much trouble for the people around him on weekdays.
Ranchi sighed in his heart.
Although he didn’t have many memories of when he was drunk, it seemed that his predecessor would become violent and drop things when he was drunk, so it was inevitable that the servants were afraid.
……
Soon Ranchi arrived at the dining room.
He saw that sitting at the end of the long table was a middle-aged man, Ranchi’s father.
“You’re late again today.”
The father had no intention of reprimanding Ranchi, merely stating something.
“I’m sorry, I won’t be drinking in the future.”
There was no need for self-loathing in the future.
Ranchi was happy with the life of a rich young man.
He had only one goal in life – to
To live a life of ease, smoothness and peace of mind.
“Sit down.”
Obviously all the servants in the hall were surprised by Ranchi’s attitude.
And still the father nodded his head in reply after a slight frown.
“Good.”
Ranch looked at the table, which was too rich for his definition of breakfast, and took his place.
Somehow.
He felt something strange.
Then, subconsciously, he raised his head to stare at a cooked dish in the center of the long table.
–What was placed on the plate was a roasted pigeon with a golden and crispy exterior.
It was evenly coated with an aromatic seasoning, and still presented a perfect form when cut.
“This is ……”
Ranchi asked with an odd expression, slowly lifting his finger to point at the pigeon.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt a sense of mesmerizing fait accompli.
His father didn’t respond immediately, and the squire in the distance looked at Ranchi with a puzzled expression.
Today’s Ranch seemed very strange to them, all in all, it was very mild.
“It’s the pigeon you shot back yesterday, and the servants made it into today’s breakfast as you requested.”
The father glanced up at Ranch, and said, in a faint voice, that
“You were so drunk last night that you don’t remember again?”
Ranchi:”
Yesterday?
The pigeon I shot back?
Ranch, who felt extremely out of place for a moment, hastily reached his fork out to a dish he didn’t recognize and pretended to be calm.
Even if the roasted pigeon on the plate was completely disfigured at this point.
But look closely at its shape and outline.
It finally made Ranchi incredibly sure that it was the pigeon of the Great Demon Talia.
After all, Talia’s Enchantress was also drawn by him.
“Are you okay?”
There was no way Ranchi’s unusual demeanor could have escaped his father’s notice.
“Fine… the after effects of alcoholism… Drinking is bad for you.”
Ranchi smiled and glanced at his father and continued eating his breakfast.
Glancing at the miserable state of Talia’s Enchantress, Ranchi only felt a lump in his throat.
The predecessor you are a true firstborn ah ……
Making someone else’s Enchantress look like this.
And then trying to taunt her like that for a while.
She won’t kill you in vain as the Demon Monarch!
Ranchi also couldn’t help but think, was there any salvation for the outwardly scorched pigeon in front of him?
The answer was no.
Then the most logical thing he should do now is clear.
The incriminating evidence should be completely destroyed, as well as picking himself up and recovering from his hangover.
So he finally reached out and picked up the pigeon leg and put it in his mouth, taking a bite of the salty and grease-absorbed crispy roast, and the wonderful taste of that alone spread through his mouth.
Satisfaction.
I’ll feed the bone to the dog later.
