Eva was having a mental breakdown after seeing Shin with a girl who looked like his girlfriend or something.
Then, when she looked at her phone, her heart froze, her eyes opened wide, and she dropped the device on the floor.
She quickly crouched down to pick it up again, her heart pounding, her fingers trembling slightly.
The screen had cracked, but that wasn't what worried her at the moment.
She had received a message from an unknown number.
Basically, whoever it was, they were threatening her, saying they knew about the dirty tricks she had used to pass the school year.
Whoever it was, they had gained access to her computer. They had files proving the bribes she had paid for teachers.
There were also message exchanges between her and a certain teacher, whom she had eventually paid with a quick blowjob.
If people found out about this, her reputation would be destroyed.
"Breathe…" she murmured to herself, trying to calm down.
Other times, people had already discovered her crimes and tried to use them to threaten her, but it never worked.
She would always lie, claiming everything was planted evidence. And in the end, people would side with her.
Besides, she could use her money and influence to erase everything.
No one dared to start negative rumors about her. Besides, there wasn't a judge or police officer who couldn't be corrupted by money and the tears of a beautiful woman.
But this time was different… Her pride was badly wounded; she didn't feel as invincible as before.
Fear was paralyzing and suffocating, eating away at her mind.
[Eva: What do you want?]
She asked. It probably would have been enough to pay a large sum of money to solve that problem.
[Unknown: Revenge.]
The reply was short. After that, the unknown number said nothing more. Eva tried offering money multiple times, but there was no response at all.
But who could it be?
She considered Shin, but that didn't seem like something he would do. He didn't even seem to want revenge. Actually, he didn't even seem to care about her.
"Besides, he probably has far more compromising videos of me to use..." she murmured to herself.
And that night, she couldn't sleep a single second.
But the morning was even worse. As soon as she arrived at school, a post was made on social media.
It was the messages between the teacher and her, where she offered a blowjob.
Furthermore, the account behind the post promised to release increasingly shocking information each day, culminating at the cultural festival, when everything they had would be revealed.
In other words, it would be seven days of hell.
"Eva, did you see this!"
And a whirlwind surrounded the woman. As soon as the first class ended, everyone knew about it and wanted to talk to her.
There were so many people around her…
Eva, who had always loved being the center of attention, began to be crushed by all that attention.
She needed to deny everything, use her perfect acting to bring the crowd to her side. After all, she was a queen, right?
But she couldn't do any of that and simply left the classroom in despair, hiding in the bathroom.
"Damn it!" Eva yelled and punched the wall in frustration.
In desperation, she opened her system, reading her title multiple times.
She wanted to remind herself that she was a queen, desperately trying to regain the confidence she had lost.
But without any success...
Then she looked at the system screen, almost begging for an ability that could solve everything, but nothing came.
She was still level 1. Her only quest was:
[Act in a manner worthy of a queen.]
As always, when a chosen one had not yet entered the tower, they received a vague quest related to their spirit and vocation.
For example, Hiroto's quest was [help others].
The more the user fulfilled their vocation, the more initial skills they would have and the more powerful they would become.
But Eva wasn't getting anything. She tried everything but couldn't level up even once.
And the hell was only beginning.
Unable to properly defend herself, people slowly started speaking ill of her.
Hiroto and a few others were by her side, but Eva felt like she was at the very bottom of the pit.
She no longer trusted the few friends she had left and pushed everyone away, sinking into madness and despair.
Wherever she went, she could hear whispers, muffled laughter, and sometimes even insults.
She could feel the stares of contempt. Every step seemed to become more difficult, heavier.
She no longer had the energy to groom herself, nor the will to do so.
Talking to people became more frightening; she couldn't even look her friends in the eye.
Pathetic, ridiculous, laughable… Looking in the mirror, Eva saw messy hair, weary eyes, and a gaunt face.
She was a failure.
Looking in the mirror, she could no longer see any difference between herself and the losers she used to mock.
Her confidence was hollow. She had no power. She had no worth…
Once again, Eva remembered what Shin had told her, the way he looked at her like she was worth absolutely nothing.
On the third day, she could no longer get out of bed. Everything felt too exhausting, and she didn't want to go to school.
"NO!" she screamed inside her room, her voice echoing like the roar of a monster.
She scratched her thigh until she felt blood running down and forced herself to stand up. Eva was fucking royalty and she wasn't going to stay fallen like this in her room.
She walked through her always-empty mansion.
The servants always cleaned the place and then disappeared without a trace. And her mother was always away, spending money like crazy on plastic surgeries, desperately trying to hold onto her youth.
But it was useless, the woman was almost 60 years old, and the surgeries had destroyed what was once an elegant and beautiful face.
Anyway, Eva knew her mother was useless, and she would never count on her in a moment of crisis.
She would deal with this alone, like the queen she had always been.
Clenching her fists, Eva went to school once again.
But nothing had changed.
She could no longer do things the way she used to. When she arrived at school, she completely lost her courage.
Back home again, she felt destroyed, alone, weak.
"Shit… shit… shit…" she murmured weakly.
Then she picked up her phone and called the unknown number.
Tears rolled down her face when he answered.
Part honesty, part invoking her natural acting ability, she asked while sobbing:
"Why? Why are you doing this to me?"
"I already told you. Revenge," a tired voice replied.
Eva felt like she had never heard that voice in her life.
"Please… please stop… I'm begging you, I'll do anything." She started to plead.
Normally, Eva would have controlled the conversation, pretended she was still in a dominant position, and eventually gotten what she wanted.
But her pride was already in pieces.
"Well… I was going to wait a bit longer for this…" the voice sounded horrifyingly, "but I guess I can speed things up."
Eva felt her heart race, the fear making her tremble violently.
"Come meet me at the address I'm sending you and I promise I won't release anything else about you."
And with that, the call ended.
A few moments later, Eva received a message with an address and nothing else. She tried sending messages and calling again, but nothing worked.
Whoever was doing this to her wasn't going to stop that easily.
With no other choice, Eva decided to face it, whatever it was.
And in the middle of the night, she left her house.
Shin, who had secretly installed a camera at the entrance of her house, got the notification when she decided to leave.
"So she already began the murder event… that was fast this time…" he muttered to himself.
"Did something happen, slut trainer?" the girl who was doing her best to suck his cock asked in a submissive tone.
Shin gently stroked the top of her head, then explained:
"Unfortunately, our session ends here. I have to go."
