Transmigrated into the Gacha Game I Abandoned for 10 Years

The outskirts of Lartania.

Loriel opened the door to the log cabin without hesitation and saw her Master, who had been kneeling and sobbing for over three weeks.

The Absolute Ruler of Darkness, looking haggard from not eating for days, hugged her knees, a sight that pained Loriel’s heart, but there was nothing she could do.

After being effectively rejected by the Lord of Lartania, the Absolute Ruler of Darkness seemed to have given up on everything, doing nothing at all.

That was why Loriel had hurriedly built this log cabin for her, who hadn’t moved at all.

“Master, I have good news.”

“…I don’t need it.”

The Absolute Ruler of Darkness turned her gaze away as if she no longer needed anything.

But Loriel had no intention of backing down and immediately spoke up.

“A reason, a reason…”

The Absolute Ruler of Darkness, hugging her knees, let out a low sigh and spoke.

“Of course, there’s a reason – it’s because I’m not attractive enough. What’s the reason? I’m useless; I shouldn’t have existed in the first place-”

As she spoke, the Absolute Ruler of Darkness began to sink slowly into despair.

“No, Master. The Lord of Lartania is under a curse.”

“…What?”

However, as Loriel continued, the expression of the Absolute Ruler of Darkness, who had been sinking into despair, changed for a moment before she returned to her melancholic state.

“That can’t be. When I checked, there was no curse on him.”

“I’m not doubting you, Master, but I heard the Lord of Lartania say it himself.”

“You heard him say it?”

The Absolute Ruler of Darkness finally turned her gaze towards Loriel, who nodded firmly and began to recount, one by one, the conversation between Adria and Kim Hyunwoo she had overheard.

And then.

After listening to the story, the Absolute Ruler of Darkness said,

“…Is that true?”

“Master, I have never lied to you.”

The Absolute Ruler of Darkness stared at her for a moment and then nodded as if acknowledging her words.

“That’s right, I know.”

“I also heard that the Lord of Lartania plans to make and drink the potion today. So you’ll be able to see the truth of what I said by the end of the day.” ṙ

Loriel continued.

The Absolute Ruler of Darkness nodded as if she understood and then stood up.

“…Then let’s go and see.”

With a small glimmer of hope, she began to walk with Loriel towards the hill overlooking the Lord of Lartania’s castle.

At that moment, at the Red Eyes’ location.

“A curse?”

“I heard it clearly, Boss. He definitely mentioned a curse.”

“…Wow, I’ve always thought the Lord of Lartania’s reactions were strange, but if there’s a curse, that makes perfect sense.”

At Giral’s words, Ryu nodded with great interest.

“I heard he’s planning to take the potion today.”

“Then-”

“…This is a perfect opportunity… Although, considering what’s happened before, it might be wise to confirm things a bit before jumping in.”

At Ryu’s words, Merilda decided there was no need to say anything more and stopped thinking about how to seduce Kim Hyunwoo using other methods. She stood up.

“…Let’s go and check it out.”

Like the Absolute Ruler of Darkness, she headed towards Lartania.

After some time had passed, Adria, who had been pondering something seriously, left the Lord’s castle, saying she would return tomorrow.

Kim Hyunwoo decided not to delay any further and pulled out the red orb from his pocket in his office.

Red Item

(The text has been corrupted and will not display correctly)

Grade: ????

Attack Power: ????

Special Attribute: Dispel

Description: An item made by the Red Merchant. If the items below are collected, the orb's special attribute can be activated. (The text has been corrupted and will not display correctly)

The items required to use the red orb are as follows:

Fang of Fenrir [o]

Yggdrasil's Branch [o]

Eldra's Warmth [o]

Would you like to use the item? (Y/N)

Kim Hyun-woo sighed in relief when he saw that a previously unseen notification window appeared, along with an explanation that appeared as soon as he took out the red orb.

‘I was worried I might have to brew another potion or something, which would have been a hassle, but thankfully that’s not the case.’

In the game, there was actually a special building for brewing potions, so Kim Hyunwoo had been concerned about that aspect, but he felt relieved as he pressed the ‘Y’ button.

As soon as he pressed the button.

Wooong—!

The red orb, which had been motionless in Kim Hyunwoo’s hand until just now, began to tremble and resonate.

At the same time, the red orb floated off Kim Hyunwoo’s hand and into the air, causing the items that had been in the box to slowly rise toward the orb.

Soon, the items gathered near the red orb began to blend together, as if imitating the orb’s material.

Kim Hyunwoo watched in fascination as the items merged, resembling a giant slime coming together.

After a certain amount of time had passed.

The orb, now about the size of Kim Hyunwoo’s fist after consuming all the materials, floated in the air for a while before suddenly falling onto the office desk, where it began to take shape.

And then.

“…Huh?”

A potion inside a glass bottle was created.

Potion of Removal

Grade: ??

Description: A potion that reverses any condition, special constitution, or illness in a human, returning them to their original state. Once consumed, it cannot be undone, and all inherent traits of the person who ingested it will disappear

As soon as the Potion was created, a notification appeared, and Kim Hyunwoo picked up the Potion with a curious expression.

The Potion had a purple hue, but instead of being murky, it was surprisingly clear. As Kim Hyunwoo looked at it, he thought.

‘This feels like something straight out of a game.’

In fact, Kim Hyunwoo had expected the red orb to combine into a candy, but seeing it turn into a glass bottle made him think that way.

Pop—!

Without much hesitation, he popped the cork and sniffed the Potion.

‘It doesn’t smell like anything.’

Kim Hyunwoo found it strange that the Potion was completely odorless, but that didn’t stop him from drinking it in one go without hesitation.

“Mmm…”

The Potion tasted like water with a slight tang.

A taste that wasn’t particularly pleasant or unpleasant.

“…What the?”

Since he didn’t feel anything else, Kim Hyunwoo tilted his head in confusion.

‘It doesn’t seem like anything has changed.’

He had expected something to change, given the emotional limit he had, but there was no noticeable difference, so he checked his status window just in case.

‘Nothing seems to have changed in the status window either.’

Since nothing had changed in the status window either.

‘Is this a scam? No… The description was clear, so it can’t be a scam.’

Just as Kim Hyunwoo began to have doubts.

“My Lord, are you in there?”

“Come in.”

Hearing Elena’s voice from the door, Kim Hyunwoo put the box aside and replied.

“I came to discuss the Labyrinth strategy you mentioned last time.”

“Ah, right. It’s about time we continue the Labyrinth exploration. We should at least clear up to the 10th tier.”

“Yes, you mentioned that last time too.”

Even as he spoke with Elena, who had entered his office, Kim Hyunwoo still didn’t feel like anything had significantly changed.

“So, you’re saying the Boss on the 9th floor will be a bit too difficult for you to handle alone.”

“That’s right, this part-…is.”

Until Elena, who usually had a stoic demeanor, leaned towards the Lord in what was almost a casual flirtation.

“…!”

Kim Hyunwoo felt a sudden rush of heat as a soft sensation pressed against his back, causing him to freeze.

Whether it was his body or anything else.

And in that moment, he realized.

That the Potion of Removal he had just taken was working far better than expected.

And.

“My Lord…?”

He could see that the expression Elena wore as she looked at him with concern held far more meaning than just worry.

The outskirts of Lartania.

Loriel opened the door to the log cabin without hesitation and saw her Master, who had been kneeling and sobbing for over three weeks.

“Master, I have good news.”

“…I don’t need it.”

The Absolute Ruler of Darkness turned her gaze away as if she no longer needed anything.

But Loriel had no intention of backing down and immediately spoke up.

“I’ve found out why the Lord of Lartania rejected you.”

“A reason, a reason…”

The Absolute Ruler of Darkness, hugging her knees, let out a low sigh and spoke.

“Of course, there’s a reason – it’s because I’m not attractive enough. What’s the reason? I’m useless; I shouldn’t have existed in the first place-”
