Blurb:
You are a mediocre wizard, and an expert con artist.
As luck would have it, while practicing sorcery, committing crimes, and swindling people, you got what was coming to you.
You were cursed, and your appearance changed into that of a white-haired old man in his sixties!
Then you were told that only a true love's kiss could break the curse!
So, dressed in rags and frail as a reed, you were thrown into a terrifying game instance.
Just then, the System prompted you.
[The horror instance is refreshing! Break the curse as soon as possible, ]
Before the System had even finished speaking, you spotted him in the crowd.
Silver hair, silver eyes, silver lashes, as if he were made of ice and snow.
He looked down on everyone in the instance with cold pride.
You pushed yourself to your feet, holding your aching back. “Holy crap!”
“That's the one! True love's kiss, come to me now!!”
*
You're a pro at pursuing men, and an even bigger pro at deceiving them.
So you approached him and seduced him. But you knew full well that you couldn't be too nice to a man, so you looked down on him, mocked him, and trampled all over him.
You tottered over with your cane, raised your deeply wrinkled old face, and grinned at him. “Young man, I can keep you alive and thriving in this horror game!”
“Cough, cough. So, would you, be my old man?”
The whole room fell silent.
Everyone stared in shock. Oh my god, is this old man crazy?
They all waited for the cold beauty to freeze you into a statue, or snap your neck with one hand.
Only he lowered his gaze to you, his silver eyes frosty.
After a long silence, he finally smiled meaningfully, so beautiful it was beyond compare.
He nodded. “...All right, my husband.”
*
Later, during a massive escape game, the world collapsed, and the entire infinite world was about to be destroyed.
He was trapped where he stood.
And you had already broken your curse.
A twenty-year-old face, a twenty-year-old body. You were as gorgeous as a demon and as fresh as a newly peeled lychee.
He was no longer useful, so you kicked him aside.
“I was deceiving you the whole time, darling.”
You left, briskly and without looking back.
But you didn't see
The moment you turned away, the evil spirit in his shadow slowly opened its blood-red eyes, stared at your retreating figure, and slowly curled its lips into a smile.
*
You never imagined you'd see him again.
When he pinned you to the huge bed in a hotel room, all you could think was
You should have taken better advantage of him back then.
He leaned over you, his silver hair brushing your collarbone. It was cold and ticklish, and you shuddered all over.
“I've caught you.”
He said, “Can I fuck you to death now?”
You thought he was surprisingly polite.
#Is it too late to get on my knees and beg for mercy?
#What happens when a professional con artist gets caught?
#My husband might not be human
One-on-one. Though you try to kill each other, die, come back to life, and die again and again, it has a happy ending.
In short, the two of you have a very wild relationship.
