I met Even just as I was getting used to this world. A month ago, I woke up in this guy’s body. Believe it or not, this place seems to be a world from a book.883db0ee93198096

I realized it after reading a diary I found by chance. A book lying slanted on the nightstand next to the bed. As I guessed, it was a diary. It was like a report summarizing the day’s activities.a8b57cce3884f185

The handwriting was familiar. I wasn’t in a mental state to figure out why exactly. I just read the diary and it helped me a lot.22d4dc5190f0bc11

At least I could understand my situation from this guy’s perspective. This guy was a fallen noble managing a village called Chasto in the west. His parents passed away five years ago, and all that was left was a house on a 50-pyeong plot.f5374538a7d1155d

He cultivated a small garden, selling the harvest or storing it as food. It was a ridiculously poor life, and because he still held a noble title, he couldn’t even do manual labor.25389df560a27a13

If I had transmigrated efcdad299b into a wealthy family fd918e004c with money to burn, 911d2e166f I would have denied cdf3a1823a reality. But being stuck 380016e981 in a dirt-poor 01ee36cf73 life slapped me fbf69b777e with a harsh 663ba85f24 sense of reality.5ec66b0755f06dd2

The book I read, “The Bloody Throne,” is a peculiar fantasy novel. It’s peculiar enough that even some men can have children. Although there wasn’t much about Shashar in the novel, I didn’t think much of it. But did he really have a child in a man’s body?91ea7e075272533e

To someone like me, who was born and raised as a healthy man, this was a situation that felt quite dissonant. But that’s not the only problem. There’s something even more significant than the fact that men can have children.98341aef280ac54d

If this is indeed the world from the book, Shashar Elpafh will soon die. The cause is a man named Karlos. Shashar’s husband. And the father of Shion, the protagonist of “The Bloody Throne.”d33c43d6b21abd5a

A man who appeared in Shashar’s ordinary life, spent just one night, and then disappeared.4aab449eb77feb95

Because of him, 31da48349b Shashar conceived Shion, bee99aa9e9 and after losing 60c88b9a8b contact with Karlos, 8610f27df7 he gave birth f1589bc5b9 to Shion alone.c1c74546e4503d30

When the child turned fda390922c five, the Enduke family c902076db3 of Karlos suddenly appeared 8ecf2b23f9 and claimed custody of 21e7d01c5d Shion, taking him away.9fe59d262ee88852

There isn’t much information about Shashar, but there were often clues about Shion’s birth in the original work. It was even described that Shashar died shortly after sending Shion away.ba213d58aacb5d4a

A little kid 17a532bfa9 came to the 7f4f5b0af3 house. I was just about a74bcfd7a6 to have lunch after 5bd52a474c working in the field.

Seriously. In the end, my d8005c1967 neck started to ache. Calm down. I thought carefully. Did Shashar have 3461426601 a hidden child?2b7a4f61f8f77e1e

Enjoy best reading experience at Lily on the Valley

The boy 677c38fd2f seemed to 9e6b84cf2d be about a98412610d ten years 9b5ddbc564 old. Ten. Shashar is twenty-three now, 284302018b so if she had ad6a0fe8fc a child, she would 6c63dc4e36 have been pregnant at e3a76b2ce2 twelve.8024daede7e8cb7f

Did Shashar commit such an immoral act, far beyond the moral code? No way. Or maybe he’s a sibling? Perhaps he lost his mother early and grew up thinking of Shashar as his mom. I tried to understand it that way, but thinking about it, Shashar’s father was diagnosed as impotent right after Shashar was born, so he couldn’t have had more children. If the mother had an affair, the village would have been buzzing with rumors.00ae52acf3ca6129
