I Will Seduce The Northern Duke

Chapter 1: The Devil’s Contract

A maniac in beauty.
A five-dimensional upgraded being.
With a selfish gene that captures both beauty and acting ability.
A winner of trophies.

Selena, the protagonist of all these descriptions, looked down at the bottom of the cliff, breathing hard.

“Or, we can skip this scene.”

The manager whined in his voice, looking down from the side at the bottom of the cliff simultaneously.

Selena shook her head with a smile.
She felt like she was burning with tension, but she did not want to show it.

“I have to work hard to win the trophies this year.”

Trophies for acting worldwide are not given for free.

“Oh.
But, sister.
They say there were a lot of accidents here, and they have not found a single missing person.”

“Where did you hear those strange rumors?”

“Oh, come on.
It’s real.
The Director got stuck in such a strange place for no reason!”

“On the contrary, it will be a big hit if the shoot ends well.”

“But, we should not have any accident!”

“I know, I know.
But don’t you smoke often?”

The manager seemed as if he would start crying.
It was difficult to understand who was comforting whom.

“Let’s start filming!”

“Yes!”

Selena relaxed with a deep breath and rearranged her expression.

She has done a couple of tests with all the safeguards before.
But this was scary.
And she was tense.

“Start!”

And when she is tense, accidents always happen.

“Miss Selena!”

“Hold!”

It happened in a flash.

There was a gust of wind.
Very unexpected.
A safety device was pulled out of the rapid wind.
The body of Selena, which lost its balance, flew into the air.

There was no time for her to scream.
Her body from the cliff began to fall sharply down the cliff.
Selena fainted at the moment.
It was rather fortunate.

“Hah……”

Selena’s whole body felt sore, twisted, and cold.

‘Of course, diving into the sea from the cliff would be painful and cold.

Selena opened her eyes slowly, thoughtlessly.

She could feel the touch of the hard stone behind her back.

‘Did I not die….?’

She blinked her eyes while laying down, trying to focus on the blurry sight before her.

Trees with a heap of snow on them came into view.

…Mountain? Forest?’

She was confused.
A forest should not have been here since she jumped into the sea from a cliff with no tree.
Moreover, the raw and biting wind dug into her thin clothes when it must have been summer…

‘Have I been hurt so badly that I can’t even recognize my surroundings?’

However, the location was never suitable.

She forced herself to raise her body.
She was in better shape than she thought.

“Oh, it’s this good?”

She could sit up easily.

As she sat up and looked around, she could see a scene that was more incomprehensible.
All she could see was just trees, leaves, stones, and mountains.
There was no other way.
She was just lying on a pile of snowy leaves.

“…..What? Where? Why? Hidden camera?”

If there was a hidden camera, she would have known beforehand.

Now that she was a skilled actor, she could tell what happened just by depicting the atmosphere in the set.

But today, there was a serious shooting scene.
Furthermore, there could not be such suspicious hidden cameras planned because they were illegal for a great actress like her.

“Then….am I dreaming?”

However, it was too realistic to be a dream.
The cold wind that was hitting her skin, the coldness of the snow that was permeating her shoes, and some monster that was running towards her.

… Monster?’

It was a monster.

‘It wouldn’t be coming here to greet me, right?’

But a monster was a monster.
It was as tall as a five-story building.
It had a structure like that of a crocodile with split skin all over its body.

“Grrrrrr!”

The sharp claws on the hoofed feet raised by the monster flew towards Selena.
Of course, it didn’t warn me by saying, “I’m attacking now”.

Boong-!

“Wha-what is this!”

She rolled her body instinctively.

The job of an actor is, after all, a fight between mental and etiquette.
All kinds of martial arts and sports that have been mastered for physical strength have been shown.

Boom!

Just before the sharp claws fell, she managed to roll herself away.
However, the monster was not someone who wanted to stop.

“Ha!”

Although she was trained for some physical activity, she had a different sense from the actual performance.
A second attack was unavoidable.
Selena closed her eyes tightly.

Suddenly, there was a gust of wind.
Instead of the splitting pain, the terrifying sound of leather tearing penetrated her ears.

“-?!”

Selena opened her eyes, surprised.
She could see the night sky with three moons gleaming.
The dark blue sky was divided into a sharp silver.

“Garrrrrr!”

The grotesque screams of the monster resounded.
It was so loud and terrible to the point where one’s shoulders would cringe by themselves.

She could not get up as she had sprained herself when she tried to roll away on the hillside a little while ago.
Selena raised her head, looking back at the monster.
It was struggling, with traces of thick green blood everywhere.

Then, she noticed, in front of her was a man with his cloak fluttering in the wind.

The arm swinging the sword at the monster was not the only one.
The mixture of swords that cut through the air ref
