The young woman gave a mocking smile: "I know because I've lived it twice. I know you much more than you think, but now, I don't know you. I knew the trash that Anthony was—a boy, arrogant, insane, psychopathic, who only cared about himself, filled with envy, resentnt, hatred towards his own family and himself. Anthony, who bragged about killing commoners, abusing them, and... betraying the empire, betraying his family, and... bringing the entire empire to ruin twice."

"Fate is a bitch. Damn my luck that in every reset, I was bound to you as if my cursed existence was tied to yours. Twice, we lived together as if we were a beautiful, crazy couple, in the hell of being slowly corrupted by your damned actions—a never-ending torture that led us to ruin. Seriously... damn it, it felt like we were being eaten alive, and I couldn't do anything about it. The only thing on my mind was bringing you to ruin and driving you crazier than you already were. Not that I had many options—I was in the sa state as you."
"A child was born in the lands of the dragon, with beautiful white hair and red eyes, an angel on earth. I was always in your soul, trapped like a damned slave, while the corruption slowly consud , and at the sa ti, I did the sa to you. It was like a curse we both had from birth. We are both utterly pathetic—I, crazy because of a curse, and you, the bastard who lost his sanity because of ... isn't it funny?"
The multicolored young woman stood up and moved to stand in front of ... but I didn't have ti to respond to her taunts. My mind was racing at full speed. What she said— I rember that in the story, Anthony never awakened his dragon bloodline, which led to deep resentnt towards his sister and family, who pushed him aside. After that, his ntal state deteriorated; he even went so far as to assault the maids in his house, which led to slaps from his mother...
Ti passed, and his condition worsened to the point where he talked to himself and hit himself while murmuring like a madman, telling himself to be quiet... no one knew what was happening to the future head of the family. Then ca the academy, but his condition continued to deteriorate, even using his family's na to intimidate commoners. But... there was a point in the villain's story where Anthony disappeared—a huge blank spot that no one could understand. During the siege on the academy, halfway through his school life, Anthony simply vanished like air while thousands of lives were being annihilated...
Until the protagonist, along with Emily, Alicia, and the other main heroines, found him, locked in a room with hundreds of black strands... along with a great pressure emanating from the rune beneath his feet. The runes were entirely unknown to the world... The black strands were, in fact, the corruption in its tangible form—black and vicious, like hundreds of millions of whispers speaking directly into your ears, telling you to destroy everything... and in the midst of all that chaos was Anthony. The strands pierced his body, leaving black stains in their place... but most of the black strands were in his head...
Anthony at that mont was crying black tears... his gaze was filled with total despair as the corruption devoured him bit by bit... his black eyes looked at the main cast watching him... the rune beneath his feet glowed with multiple colors before he whispered so words...
-I'm sorry....
I rember that when he uttered those words, the sky cracked, and the whole world cried out in agony, a descent... two of the Seven Deadly Sins had descended upon the empire...
That day was a disaster—the worst of tis—two of the Sins had descended. The consequences were astronomical... nearly half the empire had vanished... half of the population had been annihilated... but that wasn't the worst part; one of the Sacred had died in the confrontation...
The Emperor fell in battle... a Sacred had died, and with him, half the empire... it was more of a sacrifice to drive away the two Sins, burning his soul...
The blank spot in Anthony's life—was it a curse? A catalyst?
"We were a sacrifice... made to open a breach with Zone Eight. The curse on my wing was placed by those disgusting beings, and the seed was planted in your soul..."
The multicolored young woman chuckled darkly: "We are traitors, you know. I tried with all my might to stop the terrible corruption, but you... you decided to increase it by making another contract... damn it, I hate you with all my soul, down to the most sensitive fiber of my being, I loathe you... In both resets, the sa thing happened with so variables, but the end was the sa—the empire and everything else fell into war, everyone died, no one survived..."
Anthony listened intently... I don't know any of this, I have no idea what she's talking about... now I'm completely lost...
"The first reset happened when the empire fell, and the Seven Sins tried to break the seal to escape this place. The second reset was when, in a desperate attempt, Ezekiel tried to break the seal to escape this hell, but the conditions weren't t, causing another reset. This is the last reset, the last chance, but fate doesn't change, or so I thought. I was already resigned to the fact that, like the previous resets, my soul would be bound to yours, but sothing changed... sothing touched my body and broke the chains... setting free... but the corruption never left my soul, the curse was still active, and the second my rank dropped significantly, leaving only at peak-diamond rank, I desperately searched for the root of the curse."
The young woman pulled out a necklace and smiled...
Looking at the necklace, it was the sa one I had given her... the artifact my father had in his possession... it was the sa necklace this young woman cried over like a child...
