Chapter 1 – Divorce
“Would you like to come down and talk?”
Divorce was the way to go.
No wagon.
All he wanted to do was grab hold of her wife, Ashley, who was sitting next to her.
“What story?”
“I wonder if our conversation was lacking. About the divorce… “
“Do not do that. You made up your mind for each other.”
My gaze fell helplessly at the firm voice of her wife, and the gazes of her sister-in-law and her friend, who were sitting across from her, climbed up like prey.
“Naru, you agreed too. Don’t be soggy.”
“Ah~ I hate sloppy men the most in the world~”
Cold gaze.
A teasing gaze.
Sister-in-law Serena.
Loverini, her wife’s best friend.
Their eyes seemed to no longer see me as a person.
I was looking down on him like a bug.
The two played a huge role in encouraging her wife to divorce in the first place.
Jojal Jojal next to her wife every day.
‘Sister. You have to think about your face. Are you going to live your whole life with someone who is incompetent and even has a limp in one leg?’
‘What is your job as a porter? The whole world will laugh This is a fraudulent marriage. Isn’t that right, Ashley? Think carefully. We’re telling the truth.’
Here, to her mother-in-law, Mrs. Michelle.
‘You. Is it really hopeless? Are you going to make our Ashley miserable? These days, she’s embarrassed because of you, so she can’t even go out to social gatherings.’
Once upon a time, I was a successful warrior.
I traveled around the world without fear with my talented colleagues.
Then, by chance, I met my current wife, Ashley, and as if we were born in heaven, the two of us fell in love and got married at once.
After marriage my party disbanded.
He could no longer lead a wandering life without his lovely wife.
Due to my settled life, my colleagues scattered and went their separate ways.
In order to prevent his skills from rusting, he planned to continue his guild activities even if he was alone.
Moreover, he could not give up the benefits such as being treated as a top-notch guild and his high social status.
As such, the Thunderfield Guild was a highly reputed guild that everyone knew.
My in-laws were very happy and proud that I was doing well in a famous guild.
My name is Naru Kang.
I am a Korean who suddenly fell into another world 7 years ago when I was a high school student.
I don’t know who sent me to this world, but at least he had a conscience.
Of course, I had strong power from the first day I came to this world.
‘Come on, you insignificant monsters!’
Based on the strength overflowing in his body, he gathered allies and defeated demons and made a name for himself.
But luck was just before marriage.
Shortly after we got married, I lost my strength.
It started with the request of his father-in-law Heirger.
‘From now on, listen carefully to what I have to say. Actually, there is a curse passed down from our ancestors in our family.’
The curse of the wife’s family, that is, the Rapone family.
100 years ago from now.
It was triggered by the fact that the great-great-grandfather of his wife, Ashley, secretly stole the bathing of ‘Vera, the ancient east wind’ in a lake in the forest one day.
‘Oh, how beautiful… ! That chest… ! That pussy hair! Ohhh! Isn’t it a work of art… !’
He told the whole world what he had seen that day.
‘I will be the only person in the world who has seen the famous old-fashioned East Wind Vera’s naked body! Her breasts looked like two large grapes, and the green hairs on her mounds were so brilliant and fine… ! It’s like she’s crazy about wanting to run out of silk and brush her hair and smell it!’
The words he uttered at drinking parties spread widely, eventually reaching Vera’s ears.
‘It’s an outrageous thing!’
The whole world giggled at her figure, and in a fit of rage, Vera cursed him and all his bloodlines.
It was a curse that if you looked at the sea, river, or lake, you would have a seizure and collapse with foam on your face.
So-called epilepsy.
The curse was passed down to the next generation, and the people of the Rapone family couldn’t even get close to the water’s edge to the point of being frightened at the sight of a puddle.
‘Defeate Vera and release the curse on our family. You’re a warrior, so maybe it’s possible.’
I was energetic and confident.
And seeing her wife, Ashley, who always gives her love and trust, her will to do it without fail came to the fore.
‘You came to lift the curse of the Rapone family? Hahagood Then let’s make a bet with me.’
Result…
I stood there, limping on my left leg and losing the strength of a warrior.
‘Sorry. My skills were not enough.’
After the adventure, when he returned to his wife’s house with the appearance of a defeated soldier, the atmosphere in the house began to change viciously from then on.
My mother-in-law looked at me as if I was an idiot, and her wife, Ashley, complained as time went on.
‘You took on a porter job at the Thunderfield Guild? You were originally in an honorable position, right? Why did you take on such a menial task?’
‘Our guild’s rule is that if the performance is not good, no matter how famous a person is, they have to take on housekeeping jobs such as cleaning and reception, or porter jobs. I’m sorry it turned out this way.’
When he no longer had the ability to receive requests, he fell from the highest position to the lowest within the guild.
Her wife, who was greatly disappointed by the incident, started writing her each room from that day on.
‘It’s embarrassing that my husband is a porter!’
That’s how Ashley and her body and mind became more and more distant.
As a married couple, we thought we should see each other once a week.
The seats next to her were occupied by Serena and Roverini.
‘Sister, are you going to continue living like this? Others are laughing at our family. The son-in-law said he was only eating rice.’
‘Get a divorce. Better to sort it out before it’s too late. Living with an incompetent man only hurts the woman.’
The persistent encouragement of the people around them to break up.
But the decision is Ashley’s.
She hoped that she would not listen to her sister-in-law and her friend because of her wisdom, but her expectations were shattered.
Eventually, the marriage broke up after three years.
‘You. We’re getting a divorce.’
‘Think again. I’ll try.’
‘No matter how hard I try, I can’t listen. Because you have become an existence that cannot live without the help of others. I need a husband I can depend on.’
Divorce had to be agreed upon by both parties.
I cherished Ashley and tried to keep her marriage to the end.
However, he had no choice but to bend his will to the persuasion of his father-in-law Heirger.
‘When I saw it as a man, he said, ‘To live is not to live. A mother-in-law ignores her son-in-law and her wife hates her husband… I’m sorry. It would be better for the two of you to divorce.’
‘It’s not possible. I love Ashley. This feeling will never change. I can give her all for her.’
‘Even though I can’t even be treated like a husband?’
‘Someday you will save me… ‘
‘After… Why are you so stupid If it were me, I wouldn’t even look at my in-laws like this.’
At that time, materials about Vera, the ancient wind, were scattered on Heirger’s desk.
Several cases and data accumulated over a long period of time.
As the person who was cursed, he must know more about Vera than anyone else.
I heard that before me, many people tried to subdue Vera or went there to appease her.
Failed every single time.
With those experiences accumulated, he seemed to know a little something.
Hopefully I…
Do you know that I’m still on a bet with Vera?
But he never asked about it.
Even if I had asked, I wouldn’t have answered.
It had to be.
First win condition.
Do not disclose our bets to anyone.
‘Every day my wife and daughter commit unforgivable atrocities against you. I can’t keep my eyes open please Setting you free is the best apology I can give. Get out of the bad place and meet a better woman. I didn’t know that my daughter had such a bad personality.’
Heirger constantly talked about divorce.
He called me into his office several times to convince me.
His face was always pensive and he truly felt sorry for me, who was not treated as a human being in my family.
‘Get out of hell. Hurry.’
In fact, even Heirger was a husband who couldn’t show his spirit in the house.
The reason was the curse.
Her mother-in-law, Michelle, was a woman she married despite knowing that her prospective groom was cursed when she was a virgin.
Thanks to that, her voice was loud in the house, and Hai Leger always felt sorry for his wife.
Even their two daughters, Ashley and Serena, inherited their father’s curse and couldn’t even come near the water’s edge.
Except for Michelle, her husband and daughters were cursed.
‘You are my son. I will think of you like a child, so feel free to visit me anytime, even after the divorce.’
I ended up divorcing Ashley.
Heirger is his second child, his mother-in-law, wife, sister-in-law, and even his wife’s friend.
It was because they were driven to a situation where they could no longer withstand the poisonous attacks of these four people.
Ruthless curse words are standard, and as a man, he was humiliated several times.
‘Ashley’s heart is completely gone.’
So, I belatedly realized the sad reality that I could never go back to the past, and put an end to my three-year short marriage.
“I have made up my mind. Never come back Because I don’t miss anything.”
“Ashley… “
In front of the royal family court.
It was just coming out of the trial.
Perhaps thanks to the influence of the Rapone family, the judge proceeded with the process of “Annulling the marriage” Instead of divorce.
Marriage is invalid…
It was a good thing for both Ashley and me.
However, it was not invalidated immediately, but had to be considered for a year.
A year later, after reconfirming the husband and wife’s intention to divorce, if at least one of the two had an intention to divorce, the judge would make a ruling and ultimately make the marriage non-existent.
“The law still considers us as a couple, but the world will see us all the way to the family court and think we have already separated. I am the same.”
Ashley was ruthless until the moment of her breakup.
“You are a stranger now. You can’t call me Ashley from now on.”
I’m holding back the tears that are trying to flow because of the pain of parting, but how can the girl in front of me be so cruel?
‘Was it that easy for you to forget people?’
During that time, she thought she knew Ashley a lot, but she must have been mistaken.
There was a cold side I didn’t know.
I looked at her.
“… All right, lady. Take a look.”
As of today, I will completely forget about you as a woman.
Thank you for the brief
Second win condition.
Be as painful as possible.
The more you do, the shorter the betting time will be.
I added one more pain today that I never wanted.
The pain of being betrayed and abandoned by someone you loved.
It was bitter but sweet.
Because the bet was going on.
