Chapter 2

As she opened her eyes, an unknown man was sitting on top of her strangling her neck with his wide hands. The expression he made was like what Tae Seong expressed right before she fell down on her death.

Shin Hye felt hopeless as she watched herself being killed twice in a row.

[ Am I getting killed again? And who the heck is this man? I don't even remember seeing him. Is he one of my clients? ]

As he kept on strangling her, she tilted her head slowly to the sides, and an unfamiliar, weird background made her think in confusion.

[ Is this really the hospital? What's with this room? Is this one of the rooms in the VIP Ward? ]

"Why won't you make anymore noises, honey? Your alluring pants and shrieks makes my inner lust comes out," the man in front her spouted as he exhibit a wide, disgusting smile on his face. He started caressing her face with his hand.

At that moment, she got goosebumps all over her body.

[ What the heck is this man saying? If I'm not in the hospital then, is this the afterlife? Is he satan? Is this a God's Trial? Were perverts still openly accepted here? But ... what? Honey? Who? Me? ]

After he caressed her face, he gently slide down his index finger downwards. It passed through the gap of her chest and he halted after placing his finger on her belly button. The moment he did that, disgust instantly creeped inside of her.

At that time, she began to realize the fact that she's completey naked. The feeling of his bare skin touching hers, she was instantly disgusted. She snapped out and unconsciously grabbed the wine bottle. Grabbing the bottle, he totally swing her arm and hit him badly in the head.

"Ah!!" he screamed and fell on the ground while squirming in pain.

She slowly rose from the bed and mockingly looked at him. He looked like a worm sprinkled with salt. She felt refreshed in an instant the moment she saw him in that state.

She looked around the room and everything was new to her. Totally forgotten the squirming man, she wrapped herself in blanket and walked around the room.

"Woah! Is this real fur?" she was amazed after seeing a couch made with tiger fur.

As she enjoyed browsing around the room, the man slowly stood up with his blood dripping down from his head.

"You! You, ungrateful wench! How dare you!" he said as he pointed his fingers at her with such contempt.

"Oh??" she blankly stared at him.

[ Gasp! If this is a Gods trial, then I completely flunked this right? I don't know if this was really a trial but if it is, then I messed up right? Am I heading straight to hell? Shit. ]

[ Ah ... I don't care anymore! I totally ruined this trial so can I cause havoc in here? I'm heading straight to hell anyways. ]

With a fix mindset, she turned violent. She gracefully picked up the broken wine bottle and slowly approached him. The moment the man saw her expression, his lips nervously shook and his pupils dilated quickly.

"Yo- ... you! What are you trying to do?!" he fell down from his standing and started crawling backwards.

She didn't reacted to anything he said. For her, this was only a God's Trial that she messed up. With a piercing gaze that can kill, she widely grinned at him as she approached him with light yet heavy footsteps.

Crawling in fear, he reached the railings of the balcony and groaned hopelessly as he watched her approaching him.

"You, wench! D- ... don't you know who I am? I'm Duke Gregory of the Faques Family!" he began spouting words that her uncomprehensive brain couldn't understand. She doesn't think of anything that time aside from her messing the trial.

[ The God trial's actor is super good. I wonder if he's an actor before he died. Did he also won an actor award before? His acting is super good! ]

She was totally unfazed by his words. As she also reached the near end of the balcony, the cold wind blew. With her hair being blown by the wind, she tightly gripped the broken bottle with force. With the radiance of the moon shining at that very exact moment, wearing an evil grin on her face; she looked picturesque.

She felt like a grim reaper who gave instant deaths while wearing a warm smile on her face. She imagined herself graceful and exquisite. Just like what she expected, looking down and enjoying the fear the prey was showing; it was really a satisfying moment for her. She instantly got intrigued how humans shows different expressions when facing death.

Her expression turned sour the moment she remembered what she looked like before her death. She cursed silently and sighed in embarassment. Snapping out, she slowly lifted her arms with a smile and,

"Ahhhhh~!!" the man screamed.

'STAB!' 'STAB!' 'STAB!' 'STAB!'

She stabbed him numerous times to death.

[ I'm already heading to hell anyways. I'll enjoy this moment for the last time. ]

Was what she thought at that moment.

[ I never killed someone with a broken bottle before. ]

"I won't use a broken bottle as a knife in the future. The feeling is quite disturbing," she mumbled to herself as she wiped the splattered blood on her face.

She felt refreshed and exhilarated. She stood up and looked at his beat up corpse. It made her blood boiled in excitement. She unconsciously giggled in satisfaction as she saved the picture of his corpse in her memory.

Minutes have passed and the trial she thought, doesn't end yet.

[ It's weird ... What the heck is happening? Is there a glitch or something? ]

She sat down and seriously looked at the beat up corpse.

"Hey, aren't you my test subject? End it already! Do I need to beat you up more?" she talked to the corpse as she doesn't knew what to do.

She poked the corpse with her finger and began stabbing it again with the broken bottle she was holding. She thought that maybe there's a required stabs in order to finish the trial.

While she was pondering and having a conversation with the corpse, a panicked scream was heard from below.

"Her Excellency!! His Excellency!! Are you alright?!"

Being curious, she took a peek below the balcony. A panicked well-dressed guy was screaming all over the place. He is looking for "Her Excellency" and "His Excellency".

[ His Excellency? Wait? The man said he is a duke, if I recalled what he said earlier. So, do I also need to kill Her Excellency? The duchess? What the fuck? ]

At that moment, an idea popped out in her head. The trial doesn't end yet because there's still something she needed to do.

[ If I can't kill the duchess, then if I escape being pointed out as a murder; maybe, I have a chance of going into heaven. Not bad deduction, right? ]

Believing in what she thought, she began her acting. To pull off her act, she grabbed the broken bottle and started inflicting herself with wound scratches. She caught her breath as she prepared herself before opening the door.

Escaped from that room, she walked in the mansion's hallway acting pitiful, weak and almost dying. With each step she made, blood dripped one by one on the floor.

Reaching the stairs, the man she saw outside whom was looking for the ducal couple rushed towards her.

He looked very worried. Shin Hye was taken aback.

[ Why the heck is he worried at me? I'm just a trial participant whose role is a maid or a cook or something, right? This is just a God's trial afterall. ]

With her superb acting skills, she reached out her hands weakly towards the man.

"He- ... h-,help the D- ... duke!" she said with her hoarse and stammering voice.

[ Yes! Perfect! That was perfect! Hope he fells for it. ]

The man reached out to her and assisted her as they went down the stairs. With their face completely closed, she read his facial expression.

[ Looking at his face, he really looks worried and kind of nervous. I got a bad feeling about this. ]

Sitting down on the couch, a bunch of knights rushed inside the mansion and secured every corner of the house. A bunch of maids suddenly appeared and after seeing the state she's in, they didn't showed any expression.

The maids kowtowed in front of her and so as well as the man who helped her. She felt flustered.

[ What in the word is happening? ]

"Her Excellency! Please kill us for the grave sin we've committed. It may not be enough for the incompetency we did but please give us punishment worthy for such sins!" the man said while in a kowtow stance.

"Punish us, Her Excellency!" the maids repeated in unison.

As she doesn't knew what was happening, she maintained her silence.

[ Aren't I in a God's trial? I killed the Duke and the Duchess was still --! Wait? Duchess? ]

Her eyes widen as she began sweating in cold. Her whole body trembled in shock and in a few seconds, she felt numb. The words that the man said earlier echoed in her ears very loud and clear.

"Her Excellency! Punish us, Her Excellency... Her Excellency ... Excellency"

[ Wait?! What?! I am the Duchess?!! ]
