Sungjin was relaxing in a bathtub.

  It was a good way to call it a day and to relax his muscles after sweating in the training room.

  The bathroom in the castle was luxurious. Nothing could compare with it, not a single a sauna in the neighborhood or a spa from a luxury hotel on earth. Magic was controlling the water to change the temperature as he wished, and it created a new flow when he wanted a massage. And there were also various bath herbs lined up in stacks for him to use, and there were maids outside to serve him any time.

  He didn’t use them because he thought it was all a bit over the top.

  I didn’t look for luxury, but the reward of the winners in this world make the prizes of a pro gamer look like a joke.

  That was why national heroes joined battles and put everything in their all. There were way stronger and cool enemies here than on earth.

  One of them was Riad.

  When I saw her through the screen, I felt the incomparable power equivalent to everyone on the world champion team.

  That was before her awakening. She must be stronger now that she came back as level 8. A tyrant’s bath of virgin blood—from a humanitarian point of view, she had to be eliminated.

  But from a gamer’s point of view, her ruthlessness and strength made her a great opponent.

  What is she like?

  Enemies had a very similar curiosity, just like lovers. One wanted to know everything their counterparts liked and hated. One can’t stop thinking about their counterpart or thinking of making their heart beat fast.

  Information on the surface was not enough. To set up a perfect strategy against her, he had to understand her inside and out.

  Sungjin’s head was full of Riad, the Blood Ruler.

  That moment, one side of the bathroom wall started to crack. Bloody energy oozed out from the crack, and a heavy sensual scent spread out.

  The next moment, the wall completely burst.

  Standing there was a body with a confident posture and arrogant eyes that showed vigor. Her bouncy breasts and breathtaking body showed her fatal charm. Her red hair was glamorous and sexy, and her toned arms and legs showed a peak at pleasure.

  She looked like a spider queen who ate men, and also a bloody rose that made people want to be eaten by her.

  It was the Blood Ruler, Riad. The owner of the magical sword. A witch queen who gained strength by taking a bath in the blood of virgins. She was the strongest in the kingdom, and even male heroes couldn’t look her in the eye without kneeling.

  Ereka was an edelweiss with morning dew, blooming on the side of a cliff. Riad was a bloody red rose that sucked up the blood of a thousand dead bodies.

  Sungjin grinned towards her.

  “Ho? Riad?”


  Leaning in the bath, he relaxed. He was confident and didn’t try to cover up his naked body. His attitude without fear or humiliation made Riad laugh.

  “Haha. I just came to see you.”


  “You should have sent a note. Obviously, I’m not in a situation to greet a guest.”


  “Hmph. That is great. Being naked is the best status to have an unfiltered conversation. I will join you.”


  She stepped in confidently. She disarmed her armor and showed her naked body. Her charming mature body uncovered its charm. With every step, she revealed her private parts. She walked in and sat in the bath, facing Sungjin without any shyness.

  “Why not. Have fun. I won’t charge you,” Sungjin greeted this uninvited guest nonchalantly,

  Their gazes clashed passionately. Their fierce, burning eyes respected each other. Others might have thought they were a passionate couple.

  They both scanned each other’s body from head to toe, and neither of them flinched.

  “Hahaha. Now I see. You’ve got the body of a trained martial artist.”


  Riad burst into laughter.

  “Your eyes have the insight for fights.”


  She pointed at Sungjin with her finger.

  “You are ambitious. Hahaha. I thought there were no real men in this country, but you were here. You are from elsewhere. You are level 0 but not a real level 0.”


  As a royal, she knew about the forbidden summoning ceremony hidden in the secret chamber.

  “Hmph. You are better than I thought. You must be a fun opponent.”


  Sungjin respected Riad. She was the real deal, totally unlike the three knights. She had to be defeated, but that wouldn’t be easy for him. His blood started to pump faster at the excitement.

  Their eye contact became even hotter. Then the door opened and Ereka rushed in.

  “What are you doing, Riad! I knew you had no manners but don’t you have a sense of humiliation? What is this…… obscene……!”


  As soon as Sungjin’s naked body came into her sight, she turned her head. She became red and couldn’t finish her words.

  “This is a conversation between someone who knows about the fight for supremacy. You don’t belong here,” said Riad. She didn’t even bother to look at Ereka.

  That provoked Ereka.

  I also gave up being a woman and trained with a spear and shield. Nothing different from you! And that has nothing to do with…… being naked.

  She turned her head upon seeing Sungjin’s naked body.

  “The conversation between warriors is a battle. You are a novice to worry about such a thing.”


  “E…… e…… eh. Do you think I can’t? I can’t let you talk nonsense to Sungjin. I will join you!” said Ereka as she walked into the bath so as not to look weak.

  But she couldn’t sit next to Sungjin and went to another corner. She wouldn’t go in naked, so she covered herself up with a gown while avoiding eye contact with Sungjin by continuously looking at Riad.

  Sungjin tried not to laugh out loud. It was in the middle of a fight with Riad, but Ereka trying hard was too cute for the situation. He wanted to tell her to go back outside and that he will take care of it, but that would hurt Ereka’s pride, so he decided not to.

  Riad ignored the princess and kept looking at Sungjin.

  “I like you. Be mine.”


  “Ha?”


  “I will give you more than whatever the princess offered. Refuse, and I will kill you.”


  “She promised half of her kingdom. You can multiply that?”


  “Hahaha. That’s a breeze.”


  The water in the tub made waves with her laughter.

  “I will give you the world.”


  “The world.”


  “I will march you to the center to become the third Kaiser who conquered the world. I will let you stand by me. You can’t compare that with half of a miserably tiny kingdom.”


  “The world? Hmph, now we are talking.”


  Sungjin showed a small grin.

  His goal was not just becoming a Kaiser, the conqueror of the human world, but to become an Arc Master by conquering the sacred territory protected by God’s guardians.

  “Hahaha. Now we are talking? I like you more. I will take you. I’m the only one who can bring you to the top.”


  “Well, I’m okay with the princess.”


  “Bullshit. She can’t embrace a man like you.”


  “Are you bragging your level? She can catch up to you if I let her win a few times.”


  “Don’t play innocent.”


  Riad’s red eyes shone sharply. Her eyes were piercing reality.

  “The rule of the princess will limit you from taking all the measures you need to take. That will stop you from using all of your power. I’m not like that”


  The bloody aura rose into the air from her body. Her bloody energy sucked up all the air and filled up the whole bathroom.
