To Escape, I Really Have to Keep You Under Control

[Manipulation] [Behind the Scenes]

After transmigrating, he was trapped in a cave with only an old computer for company. Nain discovered that he was far from humanity, but close to godhood.

His only entertainment was playing games. Before long, he realized he could take complete control of NPCs and even descend into the game to micromanage battles.

The problem was that the difficulty was too high, and few of the little people survived. Fortunately, whether they lived or died, they earned him points. He could never lose.

Game points could not only materialize items and unlock features, but also let him make friends and chat with strange young women.

He thought he was stuck on a level, until his favorite, a chosen tool of a girl with black hair and red eyes, fought her way through a mountain of corpses and reached the final stage.

Then he suddenly realized that the final boss, imprisoned in the depths of shadow, was actually himself!

…

My name is Luna Hernandez. Because of a conspiracy, my family fell into ruin, and I became its sole heir.

To survive, I had no choice but to offer myself to an evil god.

To uncover the truth, I rebuilt the manor and town, becoming the Scarlet Countess, a name that terrified even crying children.

I wagered my life against the evil god’s whispers and control, until I fell irredeemably in love with Them.

I have fallen into depravity.

Now, all I want is to see Them, embrace Them, ask whether Their favorite woman is named Luna, and then sacrifice the entire world to Them.

To that end, I send adventurers who come seeking tombs into the abyss, batch after batch. The longer the list on the memorial to the dead grows, the closer I get to Them.

My love, I’m coming.

Wait, what do you mean I’m just one of many tools? What do you mean I’m not a love interest?

[Draws blade]

Darling, I’ll see you through sheer strength and cunning.

So, what were you saying just now?
