Loneliness

Tessy Brown, an only daughter of her parents, was treated badly in her marriage, but forced to endure all the ill treatment for the sake of her father's business. Three years down the line, her husband presented her with a pre birthday gift — his ex girlfriend, who he introduced as his new wife. Heartbroken and shattered, Tessy accepts divorce and gives in to her drunken desire, having sex with a complete stranger she met at her workplace. That single encounter changed her life forever, opening her to a world she never knew existed, and a life she never would have believed she lived in the past. *** Cursed to abhor the touch of a woman after the death of his mate, Roman Gavriel, the Lycan ruler of the entire werewolf communities and a revered billionaire in the human communities, lived a long life of ruthlessness and loneliness. Already resigned to his fate, he decided to test different ways to end his miserable life. When one of his experiments successfully knocked him unconscious, he landed in the hospital where he felt the touch of life that aroused all of the feelings he thought he had killed and buried. At that moment, he knew he was never letting her go, not for anything or anyone in the world.

Beom-seok was a virgin gamer with a simple dream: to get his first kiss. After years of loneliness, he finally lands a girlfriend, a shy, nerdy otaku girl. The day they planned to share their first kiss was also the day he completed their favorite RPG. But fate had other plans for him. And smashes into him. Literally. And just like that, he died. Just inches away from her lips. The next time he opened his eyes, he was no longer on Earth—but inside the world of The Magic Academy's Genius Scholars, as his avatar: Arthur Arcain, a character so fragile and pitiful he was only added to the game for fan service. Ridiculed by players. Unable to store unrefined mana or force. And destined to die no matter what route you played. But Beom-seok knew the truth: Arthur wasn’t just some extra. He was the sole male heir of a powerful, all-female demonic dragon clan, and he possessed the greatest magical potential in the game—if only his body could handle unrefined mana and force. Luckily for Beom-seok, a mysterious system activates, changing everything. A system that links his survival to the game's female leads. A system that rewards him for completing their scenarios… and growing their affection bonds. The more they fall for him, the more refined mana, force and stats he gains, making his power and talent close to none. But there’s a catch. If he fails a scenario? The world ends. And he dies. ----- Additional Tags: Weak to Strong | Ecchi | Comedy | Slice of Life | Yandere | Rare Bloodline | Morally Gray Hero
