I Became a Genius Swordsman in the Pretty Girl Game

As soon as I woke up in the morning, I was greeted by an absurdly long message from Shin Se-hee—5,700 characters, to be exact. My jaw dropped in disbelief.

“…What the hell is this?”

I read the message once, then twice, and even a third time. No matter how many times I went over it, I couldn’t make sense of the situation.

How had things escalated to this point?

The message from Shin Se-hee painted a picture of a different version of myself—a tortured hero, crushed under the weight of expectations, wallowing in self-loathing and inner turmoil.

So… let me get this straight. Sophia managed to extract a few words I supposedly said during my Mua state, posted them on the fan café, and from there, this entire melodrama was created?

A dry laugh escaped my lips.

From a handful of fragmented words, the party members had concluded that my self-esteem was in tatters.

Baffled, I continued reading the lengthy message. It detailed how Sophia had taken steps to strengthen internal controls and how the situation was currently unfolding.@@novelbin@@

• If you ever feel ready to share with the party members, you’re more than welcome to. However, in my personal opinion, it might be a bit early. I think you need more time to process everything, don’t you?

I nodded to myself.

She was right. Honestly, I wasn’t ready yet.

The night before, swept up in the atmosphere, I’d babbled on about all sorts of things to Shin Se-hee. At the time, I’d even thought it might be okay to share with the others. But back in my hotel room, as I mulled it over, doubts crept in.

How would my relationships with the party change after sharing? How would I navigate their reactions?

I wasn’t prepared for any of it.

• Oh, by the way… if the party members seem a little odd today… please just go along with it as naturally as possible, okay?

• “Jin Yu-ha’s almost here!”
• “What!? Already!?”
• “Hey! Kang Do-hee! Watch your strength!”
• “I just meant to press it gently!”
• “If you don’t put some heart into it, it won’t feel genuine!”
• “Ugh, why did we call him up so soon!?”
• “I thought we were ready!”
