Surviving the Reverse Harem chapter 24

24 – back up

There was no peace or hope in the childhood of Sehwa, the former life of Ireel.

His father beat Sae-hwa with his hands, and his mother stood by the sidelines. And when Saehwa was about 10 years old, severe hives developed all over his body due to malnutrition, plague and neglect.

I don’t remember the details, but Sehwa, who was popular, started her hellish school life from then on.

Sehwa also had a friend, Minwoo, a man who kindly came out to her.

“Don’t bully Sehwa.”

This was something Minwoo often said to the children who were bullying Sehwa.

Thanks to Minwoo’s appearance, Sehwa gained faith in people. He believes that there are people who look inside, not outside.

Of course, that trust was never rewarded.

Min-woo, who told the other children not to bully Se-hwa, ended up dating a pretty woman who bullied Se-hwa the most.

The things that bothered Sae-hwa gradually got worse, such as being splashed with water while sitting in the bathroom and throwing milk in the hallway.

What hurt Sehwa more than those things was the way Minwoo looked at him.

Sehwa felt so ashamed to show such a miserable side to Minwoo, whom she liked.

“Hey.”

With a high voice, a broom came flying and hit me in the head.

Jung In-yi, who had bullied Sae-hwa the most and is now Min-woo’s girlfriend, looked down at Se-hwa and said.

“I have to go on a date with Minwoo. I’ll ask you to clean the hallway.”

She just said what she had to say and Jung In turned around.

And Min-woo also looked at Se-hwa shyly, and she followed Jeong-in.

That day, Sehwa cleaned the hallway alone, crying like a child.

‘If it weren’t for the hives covering my whole body.’

‘If only I had been born in an ordinary family.’

‘If Minwoo hadn’t been nice to me from the beginning. I wouldn’t have been hurt like this.’

After class, Sehwa had to go to the convenience store instead of home.

Because I had to earn money.

Like most children from disadvantaged families, Sehwa grew up early.

I was intimidated by my appearance and the reality was too heavy to not work.

While working part-time for a living, Sehwa became smaller and smaller due to the criticism she often hears about her appearance.

Feminism and reverse harem novels were the things that soothed Saehwa’s heart ever since Minwoo was dating Jeongin.

Sehwa was greatly comforted to see her spreading feminist ideas while dating numerous men in a reverse harem novel.

Out of all the male leads in reverse harem movies, the male lead that Sehwa hates the most is a nice guy.

Because when I see a nice guy, I think of Minwoo.

That’s why Sehwa likes bad boys.

This is because they do not feel any remorse even if they treat them harshly and hurt them.

Irelle felt bad about the past that suddenly came to mind while studying.

To change my mood, I got up and opened the window.

“Message window.”

As Ireel muttered, a blue window appeared.

[1. Now every man you have a crush on will fall in love with you and become involved.]

[2. Give a slap to the man you no longer want to see. Excluded from your destiny.

* Caution: If you love too much, there may be side effects?]

– Hidden quest complete!

[1. Seduce multiple men and enjoy the reverse harem life. – Reward: Influence Meter]

[2. Locked]

{Influence Meter: Remaining Influence 25}

Hidden Quest 1 was updated when I got the 40th man.

From noble mtl dot com.

At first, I didn’t know what the influence meter I received as a reward meant.

Every time I try to exert a forceful influence, I see and realize that the world changes as the influence diminishes.

Literally, I was an influence that could change the world.

“Why don’t the academies teach feminism? Please do it.”

When I insisted on feminism education to the academy principal, the influence decreased by 1. And feminism became an academy compulsory subject.

“Please implement a quota system for high-ranking nobles in the future.”

When I asked the chancellor for a quota, my influence decreased by 30. And women came to occupy half of the high-ranking nobility of the empire.

After making various social promises, such as creating a cat mom fostering system and a support system, before I knew it, only 25 influences remained.

As I pondered about the future of the empire, my displeasure with the thoughts of the past improved before I knew it.

Unlike Sehwa of the past, Irelle of today was an enterprising woman.

“It’s not much of an impact. There’s still a lot to change.”

Ir El sighed, closed her window, and opened her book again.

————————————————————————- ————

– Robert, Robert! Look at this!

The voice of the Holy Sword gradually brought to mind the consciousness that had been submerged.

I answered in a sleepy voice.

“What is it?”

– The day has grown!

He raised his eyelids with difficulty.

“Wow, the real day has grown.”

A snow-white blade peeked out from the Holy Sword, which only had a handle.

The blade that grew like a baby’s teeth was cute.

– Quick praise!

“That’s amazing. Did you go around receiving divine power at night?”

– Yes.

“But isn’t that a nuisance when the priests have to sleep?”

– No. It’s rather an honor for the priests because they supplemented me with divine power!

Looking at the holy sword shrugging, I searched for old memories.

At that time, the holy sword seems to have been as long as a normal sword.

“Will it get longer if I stay here and receive divine power replenishment?”

– This is the limit unless you receive it from the pope or saint.

“Then?”

– If you kill demons and absorb their souls, they will last longer!

She left the room with the Holy Sword, saying things like, “The longer and thicker the blade, the stronger the holy power,” And that if she knew her true power, she would be surprised.

Even with the divine power emitted by the holy sword in the shape of a sword, the cutting power was great, so I was looking forward to it.

After greeting the saint, I moved to the Halfibel estate to get a chance.

The Halfibel Territory is located at the western end of the empire.

In a world where wars and conflicts are frequent and monsters are rampant, people who want to become mercenaries or knights poured out.

Dungeon is the place most talented people go.

This is because the corpses of monsters and demons living in the Pandemonium are traded at high prices.

Dungeon is a place that arouses greed and fear among wizards, knights, and mercenaries.

Only now there are monsters and demons only in dungeons, but in the past when they invaded from the Pandemonium, enormous troops came out of the dungeon’s dimensional gaps.

Each race and country level is steadily destroying the cores of dungeons and reducing the number, but as much as that number is being created in the demon realm.

When I arrived in front of the dungeon, I saw mercenaries waiting for me.

“It’s as rumored. I’m Shirgong, the leader of the Twilight Mercenaries.”

A stout man with a large scar on his face glanced at the unicorn and said hello.

“I am Robert of the Marquis of Albert.”

Before going to the Vatican, I asked the butler to hire the Twilight Mercenaries.

Twilight’s mercenaries are quite extraordinary mercenaries.

However, although the leader was only half, he was a sword master, and the mercenary members below him were also filled with elite mercenaries.

And above all else, there was trust.

In his previous life, he had a high reputation as a trustworthy mercenary.

Those behind Sirgon lowered their heads in turn and greeted each other.

‘It is unbelievable that they are mercenaries.’

I don’t know if they were hired separately to enter the dungeon or if the level of the mercenaries of the twilight was originally high, but the momentum felt at first glance was good.

“You don’t have to come, Yuni, it’s okay. I’ll be right back.”

I said while stroking Yuni, who didn’t want to enter the dungeon, but was trying to follow me.

Dungeon is an unpleasant place for Yuni because it is a place where demonic mana flows.

“When you’re ready, let’s go in.”

I entered the dungeon with the mercenary members.

“Keruk! Keruk!”

As soon as I entered, three-legged goblins about two meters tall came running.

Unlike the goblins of the middle world, the goblins of the underworld have large bodies.

The battle started with an arrow stuck in the head of a goblin approaching from the front with its saggy belly moving.

“Kyaaah!”

“Save magic. Archers keep shooting and swordsmen forward!”

Twelve mercenaries moved systematically under Sir Gong’s command.

Every time the mercenaries’ bowstrings trembled, the goblins fell one by one, and the swordsmen cut off the heads of the goblins trying to rise again.

As I pulled out the vibrating holy sword, holy power enveloped my body.

I felt a pleasant sense of exhilaration at my fingertips. I approached the exceptionally large goblin with a holy sword.

I had a clear sense that my ranking had skyrocketed after my remarks on feminism.

She spurred her body and swung her sword. The moment the goblin raised her hand to protect her face, her holy sword pierced the goblin’s head.
