Chapter 1
After successfully redeeming the yandere male lead, I said my goodbyes.
“I have to go now,” I told him. “You’ll meet the heroine who is destined to love you. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness.”
Eric lowered his gaze, silent.
Confused, I chose to exit the world.
The next day, I was sprawled on my bed, engrossed in a round of Goose Guard.
Suddenly, a shriek ripped through my mind.
MALE LEAD’S CORRUPTION LEVEL HAS MAXED OUT, PLEASE PROCEED TO SECONDARY REDEMPTION.]
I was thrown back into the pocket world.
Only to discover that ten years had passed. The once–gentle prince had become a blood–soaked tyrant.
The moment before I appeared, he was wiping his dripping sword, a faint smile on his lips.
“Her face,” he murmured. “You think you’re worthy of wearing it?”

When I materialized back in the pocket world, I was still clutching my little pot of cake.
I stared, momentarily stunned by the architecture around me–so familiar, yet strangely foreign.
“How am I back here?”
Host, there has been an unforeseen complication with your previous mission. Your intervention is required.]
Hearing the System’s voice, a wave of relief washed over me. So, it was just a mission glitch that needed fixing.
That scared the life out of me. I thought the System had bugged out, sending me home for a day only to yank me back again.
I dug my spoon into the little cake pot. The cream was sweet and heavenly.
I started walking through the palace, a place I could navigate with my eyes closed, heading towards Eric’s old quarters. Since I was back, I might as well go see him. I’d even let him try my cake. It was a White Peach Oolong flavor, absolutely divine! He was a man
of an older time; he’d never tasted anything like it.
I snapped the lid back on the container and ambled down the long, winding palace corridor.
Ugh, I was so close to winning that round of Goose Guard.
It was all Eric’s fault. Of all the times to have a psychotic break, he had to pick the exact moment I was about to corner the last
goose. Now, the goose was free, and I was the one who got caught.
I’m so mad
When I see him, I’m only giving him one tiny bite. Just a taste. Then I’m going to eat the rest of it right in front of him. That’ll teach
him
Speaking of Eric, though…..
Why did he snap?
