Chapter 1
Volume 1
My name is Chaeri, and I have a debt of 10 billion.
Chapter 1
As always, unexpected events sneak up and strike from behind.
The damn day when the sunlight was so lovely.
With one wrong click, I became a debt collector.

After being trapped for a long time, my steps stumbled as I came out.
Everything in front of me was white. No, black.
I couldn’t believe this absurd situation, and my heart tore apart.
A gallows. I was standing on the gallows.
Standing before me was a beautiful woman, looking pitifully at me as I struggled to lift my eyelids, filled with anger and betrayal.
“Elrunsdre, why… (Alexandra, why…).”
I wanted to curse her, but the gag made it impossible.
The woman, realizing that I called her name, shuddered and cried out with tears streaming down her face.
“How…! How could you do this!”
Sigh.
I burst into ironic laughter at the incredible acting.
This is how it goes.
“You know your crimes. Plotting against the royal family, aiming for the throne, and committing such terrible deeds!”
No, it was to make you the Emperor.
I felt so unjustly treated.
We were good this time, like sisters.
So, I invested money, time, everything I had in you!
But when it seemed like the tail of some dangerous affair was catching up, Alexandra turned me into the culprit, threw me in prison, and pretended not to know, avoiding the blame.
“Was it this girl’s idea of treason?”
But the gazes of the knights surrounding me as I kneeled in front of the scaffold were just cold.
It was futile to say anything. They wouldn’t listen.
“Huh, huuu.”
As I was fixed to the scaffold, Alexandra buried her face in her hands and sobbed loudly, shaking her shoulders.
Everyone thought Alexandra was crying, but I felt like I knew the expression hidden behind her veiled face.
She’s probably laughing.
What a wicked woman.
In fact, making Alexandra the Emperor in this game was the most challenging part.
I poured in cash, just about to succeed…!
“Finally, let me say one last word to my younger sister… I want to wish her well.”
Finally, Alexandra approached me gracefully and kneeled beside me.
Everyone sighed and admired the mercy of the Princess who kneeled before a wicked criminal accused of treason.
“Wow, that’s all acting!”
I taught her that!
But now I couldn’t even speak.
It was game over.
The notifications and buttons on the screen disappeared.
There was only one button left.
[Force Game Over?]
[YES/NO]
“Ah, I really just wanted you to die.”
A cold, mocking voice echoed in my ears.
I was the only one who could hear the murmurs of malice.
“I don’t need to see your face anymore. Be glad.”
After tapping my cheek, Alexandra stood up with a satisfied look.
The knights stepped forward.
They were finally going to execute me.
Their usual courteous demeanor was nowhere to be found.
It was just an attitude of getting rid of a nuisance.
Looking up at the sky as if my neck was about to break, I remembered the amount of cash I had spent.
“I will proceed with the execution!”
Ah, no.
“All this cash I spent, enduring it was such a waste.”
I couldn’t end like this.
Even if it’s game over, I’d rather do it myself!
I shifted my gaze.
[YES]
Urgh.
The system, sensing the user’s will, immediately moved to game over.
As the surroundings began to tremble as if in an earthquake, Alexandra paled and screamed.
“What, what is this!”
What is it? It’s a reset.
You can’t become the Absolute Emperor without me.
[GAME OVER]
I died, my finger helplessly pressing the button.
Before I could react, darkness engulfed me.
