THE BENEFACTOR (English) 10
"Do you remember Houston?" the king mumbled to the queen, "She grew up well, dear."The woman on his left flinched. Her eyebrows raise in interest but the clenched fist betrayed her emotion. It was not interesting. It was hate. 'Was she reminded of her baby?'The king was amused, and it shows in his face. The woman was too uptight. He wondered why his parents assigned this woman for him when they are completely misaligned with each other's point of view in life.'Maybe that was exactly the reason why.' He never has once regretted his marriage with Taline, but there were nights he would think idly about 'what-if's. He's not all-knowing, but he can put two and two together. His queen's heart does not lie in him. He had long since accepted it.But to actually scheme against him?'That's new.'"Yeah, she's a fine woman now."If the baby survived, she would've shared the same age with Houston. Probably be friends with her and be the princess' personal aid. But the child died, and so the ki

Spencer was left to finish his task— which was laughably the most difficult in Jana's opinion. He had to seduce five women at most without being caught. Now she can fully understand why he was a Casanova from the former worlds and that he doesn't see the appeal of having a relationship aside from the instances.It must be a draining life for him."…Jana!"She cleared her throat, looking at the sides of the room before responding to Spencer. "Yes?""How is the trial court now? What did they do to Ezekiel?" Spencer's voice was a bit harried but his concern is recognizable. "Are you guys okay?""Ezekiel is gone." Jana smiled. "He finished his task already, Spence. It's now only you and me in this instance.""Fuck— Yes!" The man cheered, "I'm about to finish mine too. Only one confession left. I only need one NPC woman to admit their love to me and I'll be good."Her smile became a little tainted. Jana can't help but speak slowly, "I don't think I'll be able to go out soon.""Why?""Since

'Warning!''Warning!'Jana skidded to a stop. She looks up just in time to see the task world slowly dissipating. The people inside the game don't seem to panic and continue walking around— they are clearly NPC's who can't see what's the problem up ahead. The only ones panicking are the co-players as well as Jana.Ezekiel already finished his task. There's nothing else he needs to do. Now that his job is done, it's time for Jana to keep her end.'Vivien! Where are they?!' She continued running down the valley. Every head turns to look at her as if she's crazy. 'Well, they won't be entirely wrong.'"The gambler successfully killed the queen. The queen's royal guards are now focused on catching up with the killer behind her death. Host, they're right behind you!''What rotten luck!' Jana tore the hem of her long gown. The heavy garment is weighing her down. It can't get any more than an actual nuisance. She took a sharp turn and left dead leaves swaying as she ran for the forest.'The m

"Pixena!" The exquisite saloon had its windows widely opened. It's understandable why they only cater to beautiful women— it would be a shame lowering the curtains down when the most fantastic view is inside. "Oh, wow! Girl, you look splendid!""Do I?" Pixena wasn't pleased. She cut her hair shorter than she would have liked. That's all because Roshan said that girl... Well, 'Jana' needs to cut her hair short. Could there be any other meaning why Roshan wanted the woman to cut her hair that way? No! It must be because Roshan himself likes girls with shoulder-width hair and nothing else.It's bad for eavesdropping on other people's conversation but she can't help it! Pixena liked Roshan for so long and these past three months... Jana has been following him like a loyal dog. She had dug about the woman's background— nothing shady. In fact, Jana has quite the modest background and the skill to boost it up too.At the age of ten, she was able to refine materials for her dad to use in thei

On that morning, Jana tried to see if she can make use of her antagonistic halo and be good about something in just one night. She heard something about 'beginner's luck' and so she hopes to see if the same good fortune applies to her.Well, it was proven not.She started early in the morning, doing her job earnestly and receiving cuts from the knife and burns from the pan itself. Up until now she can't see herself improving. Ezekiel was hopefully supplying her with good words. Too good words but the man won't personally taste the dishes that she prepared. She can take the hint so his promising words became empty not long after she exposed his dual face and black heart.Jana doesn't know which one to make tomorrow. 'God! The event will start tomorrow and I'm still not prepared!' Which dish is she going to make?She need not ask to know that Pixena will be there too. The life of the villain wraps around the protagonist. So if her name is on the participating list, then it means Pixena

Denise hasn't shown her presence. It was official, she finally got out of the game. Ezekiel told her that and it finally settled the little bit of conscience in her mind.Morning came and the cook-off session started. Pixena —unsurprisingly, joined the challenge and ordered tons of vegetables and spices for her own use. The emperor was too biased because she allowed Pixena to do this when in fact, he had strictly implied that no one should use resources aside from what the organizers had prepared."Ladies and gents, you will be given an hour each to complete your dishes!"'Might as well give me an eternity and it will still taste the same— morbid shit.' Jana stood above the platform readied for her. The audiences scattered around to look at the two meter distance. Every contestant have either a concerned or nervous expression. Only Pixena was confident, smiling brightly and scattering kisses everywhere.Ezekiel stood at the center of the stage. He is one of the panelist chosen to judg
