A Dark Mage Would Never Save Anyone

Wenna graduated from the Dark Magic Academy with straight A's and the top ranking.

Her goal is to become the greatest dark mage, earn tons of gold coins, and own the most advanced wand!

Full of confidence, she prepares to be summoned, only to discover that this world seems a little different from the one in her textbooks...

She sees a group of people with [Lv. 5] above their heads, grimly hacking away at a black dragon labeled [Aris Cather, the Strongest Dark Boss].

Wenna looks at the black dragon with its blank, beady eyes and thinks that its summoners seem pretty silly. But she has professional standards to uphold, so she doesn't plan to laugh at it.

As soon as they see her, the group shouts, "Miss, hurry and cast a healing spell on me!"

Wenna narrows her eyes slightly and raises a hand to unleash a lethal attack.

"!!"

"Thanks, boss! I'm back to full health!"

Wenna: ???

Wenna quickly assesses the situation and decides to heal the black dragon.

A cloud of black mist surges toward the dragon. Little red numbers keep popping up above its head.

"-1, -1..."

Half an hour later, the whole team clears the newest Hell-level dungeon without a single casualty and even gets the latest gear to drop.

The team takes Wenna back to the starting village, invites her to run dungeons with them again, and asks about her hidden class.

Wenna blushes bright red. "I'm a dark mage!"

The team: "Ohhh, a new healer class!"

Wenna looks up at the sky. "I would never save anyone!"

The team: "Got it!"

Then they present Wenna with the purple-glow-effect, handmade, imported-from-another-world, smart wand, top-of-the-line edition, that they pooled their money to buy.

"Great Mage, could you run another dungeon with us?"

Wenna: ...

Just this once!!!

#At first I only wanted to kill them#

#But they offered me too much#

Jian Yao, creator of the full-dive simulation game, steps out of his game pod with a dark expression.

His assistant looks at the black dragon sprawled across the screen. "Aris, no... Boss, you've only been logged in for half a day."

The high-difficulty dungeon, personally designed and tested by Jian Yao in the role of the boss, was cleared without a single casualty just half a day after going live.

Jian Yao fixes his gaze on the woman wearing a witch's hat with Lv. 1 above her head and says through gritted teeth, "She must be cheating!"

The company's programmers stay up all night watching every video about "cheats" on the forums. In the end, they reach one conclusion:

Wah, her cheat is just being cute!

Jian Yao says coldly, "You can't do it. I can."

He boldly declares that no matter how difficult a bug is, he'll fix it within a month.

Unfortunately, his identity is bound to the black dragon, so he can only travel through the various dungeons as the black dragon.

A month later, his assistant watches Jian Yao step out of the game pod with an inexplicable smile on his face and cautiously reminds him, "Boss, screenshots of the 'cheat' riding you while fighting monsters in the dungeon have been posted on the forums."

Jian Yao glares at him. "What cheat? That's my wife!"

Wenna, who's been earning money to collect wands, has been wondering lately why every dungeon has a black dragon with a strange temper that keeps trying to get itself killed...

But at least she's managed to tame it lately!

Theme: Everyone has a cute side.
