The Shadow Queen Is Too Alluring—I Can't Handle This Anymore! Chapter 1: Congratulations! You’ve Accidentally Summoned a Q

It all started with a pop-up window.

[Congratulations! You've Unlocked the Legendary Shadow Queen Summoning Contract!]

At 2 a.m.

While I was halfway through a cheap cup of instant noodles.

And absolutely, definitely not ntally prepared for life-changing decisions.

Like any sane, broke, socially anxious young man would do, I clicked Decline.

The pop-up appeared again.

[Are you sure? Refusing Her Majesty's call cos with... consequences.]

I clicked Decline again.

My room lights flickered.

The air turned cold.

And then—

She appeared.

Right there, standing in the middle of my tiny, ran-scented apartnt, wearing what could only be described as a royal dress made entirely of shadows and dangerous beauty.

Golden hair flowing like liquid light.

Crimson eyes glowing faintly in the dim light.

And her very first words to ?

"You're late.

I nearly choked on my noodles.

"Excuse ... late for what exactly?" I managed to stamr.

She stepped closer, the temperature in the room dropping with every graceful movent.

"For becoming my new Caretaker, of course."

"Caretaker?" I blinked. "Lady, I'm barely taking care of myself!"

Her eyes narrowed dangerously.

"And yet... fate has chosen you."

[System Notification: Contract Bound. Escape Impossible. Try Not to Die.]

I stared at the glowing text hovering in front of , then at the impossibly gorgeous, probably very deadly woman standing in my living room.

"Okay," I whispered. "This is fine. This is perfectly fine. I'm definitely not freaking out right now..."
