In My Next Life I'll Win the Heart of the Male Lead
There's nothing wrong with Adelaide's life. There's nothing wrong with being cheated on. After all, half of marriages end in divorce and most end from infidelity. There's nothing wrong with getting addicted to an otome game. After all, everybody has something they're obsessed with. There's nothing wrong with reincarnating as the villainess instead of the heroine. After all, the villainess is richer and more powerful. There's nothing wrong with the villainess chasing after one of the love interests. After all, it's not like he's the canon route. There's nothing wrong with Ophelia's life.
Night's Watch
Every room that we examine in this enormous estate shows no clues whatsoever about where to find anything at all, even as we check the entire bottom floor and find nothing of use.
In addition, the passage of time seems to be strangely distorted. Nightfall falls seemingly suddenly as we search the upper levels of the mansion for anything.
In the kitchen, a pot of simmering stew boiled in the fire pit, fresh looking meat, gravy, and vegetables churning in the slow boiling water. A roast cooled on a platter. There was no fire. No heat.
I look out a window and see darkness has fallen over everything, as if someone pulled the shade down suddenly on a sunny afternoon.
This place is bizarre.
The more I look at it, the more disorienting it is to actually exist within it.
