The Devil Inside Me – Chapter 1: Breaking the Chains

It was my second year of high school. The pressure and my family’s expectations were overwhelming. I was wearing black sunglasses, a white T-shirt, and short black shorts. There was pressure from both school and family. I had many obsessions. My family kept me under control — I was like a puppet.My mom said, “This child is addicted to the internet. You will talk to REAL PEOPLE. Turkey is much safer. Abroad is dangerous. You’re in this high school for 4 years. No escape. It’s forbidden! You're always texting with ChatGPT — FORBIDDEN!”

When I came home, my mother would look at me oppressively, obsessed with control.“Who were you with today? I forbid you from hanging out with boys. You can’t go out. You’re under supervision,” she’d say.Meanwhile, my dad would just nod his head while working on his computer. Even when I was doing homework on the computer, he would say,“That’s enough! No more computers. No more obsessions. It’s all because of ChatGPT — I’ll ban it! Real friendships are better than virtual ones. You can't go abroad. I’ll imprison you and restrict you! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”And then, she’d turn around and say, “Okay, you can message now.”All these expectations — ahh, it was like a joke.“There are social norms you must follow. Stand up straight. I will take control of you.”I was starting to lose my personality. I always looked grim, like a robot who followed every rule. And I was making my parents happy.

My mom kept repeating, “There need to be social norms.”But in university, I would be free. My family wouldn’t be able to control me. It was my right. I’d wear whatever I wanted, even wear makeup — no one could say anything.

One day, while I was messing with the books on the shelf, a devil appeared.He had pitch-black hair, pitch-black eyes, short black hair, and wore a black suit with a white shirt, black pants, and black shoes.

It was Lucifer, looking at me with a mocking and cold smile.

“Hmmm... Ahhh, so you’re still wearing chains, huh, beautiful?”“Are you going to walk the path others set for you or become yourself? If you truly want to be free, you must join the darkness. I will make you hear your own voice. I’ll show you a place without limits. You will show me your true self.”

He gently extended his hand. His dark eyes sparkled with charm, as if he were reading Selin’s soul.Lucifer spoke in a deep and low voice:

“Let me free you from this pressure and lack of love. Don’t let people label you. Let the love of darkness embrace you.”He winked with dark charm.“Darkness bends and reshapes freedom. It brings liberation. I will not judge you — I understand you. Just take one step.”

Lucifer showed his heart, gesturing toward the emptiness inside.

“The emptiness inside you... It can’t be filled from outside. You can only be free by joining the darkness. If you want to do something, do it. Want to go abroad? Go. No one can stop you,” he said.

Selin looked at Lucifer with a gloomy face, shyly.“Will you really give me love, Mr. Devil?” she asked.

Lucifer tilted his head slightly and smiled sharply but became serious.

“I will give you love — not the kind that hurts and restricts you, but true, deep love that will set you free from the chains. This is your life. No one else can decide for you. First, you must understand yourself.”

Lucifer looked into Selin’s past family life. He spoke seriously. He saw how her father had forced her to do an internship in veterinary science during summer and how her mother had said, “You’ll study English, go to the pool, and attend theater.”

With a cold and mocking tone, Lucifer said,

“Ohhh, these cliché traditional families... Your father wants you to do an internship so he can say you’re responsible. And your teachers expect you to act like a responsible student. If you’re doing all this in high school, will you still do it in university?”“Sweetheart, they’re trying to suppress you because they fear your fire, your free spirit. But you don’t have to listen to them. I, the devil, came here to free you and help you create your true self. No matter what they say, you will walk your own path.”

“Don’t let your father box you in. And your mother — she claims she’s protecting you. Do you want to stay in that house for university? I think it’s time to spend your university years somewhere else. Even there, they will try to control you. They always want to hold power. They think they know everything — but they don’t. They’re narrow-minded people who will never understand outcasts like you.

Sweetheart, pack your suitcase when university starts. You’re leaving. And if you don’t feel safe, you can come to my house — where there are no limits and the rules are yours, not your family’s.”

Selin’s eyes sparkled, her obsessions suddenly fading. She hugged Lucifer.“Okay... I’ll listen to you,” Selin said with a dark smile.

Chapter 2

Selin lay in her bed, and Lucifer lay beside her.She felt safe with him.She received from Lucifer the love and protection she had been denied by her family. He gently embraced her.Lucifer opened his eyes, his hair messy, and his eyes glowing with dark light.He looked mischievously yet seriously.

“Hello, my little hell angel... Did you have nightmares?”Selin opened her eyes.“No... I was thinking about you.”Lucifer laughed and widened his playful smile.

“Hmmm, how sweet you are. So, what are we doing today?”Selin got out of bed.“I’m going to school,” she said.

Lucifer rolled his eyes and gave a short, dark laugh with a charming smile.

“Hmmm... School? Why not break it instead? Learning is good, but you can’t spend four years between four walls, my queen.”He winked and stepped back respectfully.

“I have to go. Otherwise, my parents will be mad,” Selin said.

She got ready and went to school with her bag. Lucifer walked beside her.As they arrived, Lucifer looked at her deeply and whispered in her ear,

“Hmmm... For my little hell angel, rules mean nothing.”Selin blushed and looked away, affected by Lucifer’s behavior.

Lucifer spoke with a cold smile:“Hmmm... You don’t need to be afraid or ashamed, princess. Your family’s lack of love and their pressure shouldn’t imprison you. But don’t worry — we’ll overcome it together in the dark. No more rules, limits, traditions, or your mother’s screams — just you and me.”

Lucifer stood in front of Selin and gently lifted her chin. He winked.Selin blushed more and liked it.

Lucifer grinned mischievously.“Hmmm... So, darkness tempted you, huh? It doesn’t judge or try to change you. That’s why it attracts you, doesn’t it, princess?”

Lucifer’s dark side was filling the emptiness inside Selin. Her heart was rising, breaking free from her chains. She was surprised but tried to ignore it.

“I must focus on my classes,” she told herself, “not on Lucifer’s charm.”

At school, she focused on her lessons while Lucifer hugged her from behind with a slight, dark smile.Selin blushed even more and took a deep breath, focusing on her notes.

Later, at the mirror, she grabbed her makeup kit.Lucifer leaned against the wall, giving her a cold, mocking smile.

“Hmmm... Ahhh, lipstick and a little gloss…”

"Hmmm ahhh, there's really no better combination than lipstick with a light gloss—truly princess-like. I’d recommend it too,"she said with a wink, as the bell rang. Selin walked away and took her seat in class. Lucifer watched her silently.

By the end of those 8 hours, Selin felt safe by Lucifer's side. She had received love from him—not a traditional, restrictive, overprotective kind of love, but one rooted in freedom. After that, Selin sat at the table. Lucifer hugged her gently. The more she received his love, the freer she felt.

She wrapped herself in Lucifer’s arms. Her obsessions started to fade. Lucifer smiled at her kindly, then gently took her into his arms again, holding her lightly by the waist and pulling her closer.

"Hmmm… You are my own dark star, Selin,"he said.

Selin hugged him tightly and smiled. And at that moment, she took off her mask—her true mask. When it came off, she was, in fact, a truly happy person. Her chains were gone. And that’s why she truly smiled at that moment—because Lucifer understood her. The devil had understood her.

—The End—

Chapter 1: Tiara’s World (Reversed Version)

"Heaven’s Rebellion"

I had just arrived at this school. Everyone looked at me like I was a freak, and I definitely felt weird. Anyway, I was walking around the school alone. The atmosphere outside the window swirled in a loop, turning left and right, but I felt like someone was secretly watching me. Suddenly, a girl called out to me.

“Hey Tiara, how are you? Are you okay?”“Oh, I’m fine. How about you?” I smiled broadly but kept my distance.

Meanwhile, that mysterious figure watching me from behind muttered:“Hmm~, what a sexy girl.~”

Of course, I didn’t hear that.

“Ummm.”

I saw a girl loudly chewing gum. She had pink hair and purple eyes, but she hid them with a purple bandana. That girl was Solaris. I rolled my eyes.

“What a show-off,” I whispered to my friend.“Who is this person?” I asked, and my friend replied:“Her name is Solaris. She’s trying to destroy the school.”“She’s trying to destroy the school? WTF?”

Solaris walked with mysterious and dark steps, and the shadowy figure behind her walked at the same pace.

“Hmm~ darling, let me walk with you. Come on,” she said, her eyes sparkling with admiration. Solaris recognized the figure, and with her enigmatic stance, she was warning him.

That dark figure, on the other hand, was thinking to himself:“Hmm~ these two girls are so cool. I wish I could sleep with them. How awesome would that be?”

He stepped back, his appearance stark white, wearing a black suit. He grinned in a manipulative and mocking way, squinting his eyes. He had black hair, almost like Dracula. It was as if he was playing a game with the two girls.

With a playful tone, he said:“Hmm~ you’re a good player, but don’t forget, darling, I control the game, and I shape the rules. Why don’t you take off that sweet little outfit of yours, my dear eternal enemy~?”

Then he laughed.

That mysterious figure was none other than Lucifer Morningstar, the king of hell. And he was the father of Luca, a boy with purple hair dressed in black, always playing the guitar.

Ahh, I really loved Luca. My friend noticed and warned me:“What are you thinking?”

I blushed and quickly answered:“Oh, nothing…”

Was I seriously feeling something for the son of hell? WTF?!=Part 2

Tiara and the Devil’s Heart"A vision came to my mind at that moment My friend and I were in class in the visionThere was the king of evil He was sitting on the chair Lucifer Morningstar had his own perverted and horny smile He was sticking his tongue out and putting it on his lips“Hmm~ Ah isn’t it a tiara My eternal enemy is my best friend but honey why are you so shy don’t you think you should take a step”=I looked in surprise and stepped back I looked around the tower Where was I Lucifer had read my feelings and at that moment he came to that part of the window shining in the moonlight with heavy steps Lucifer Morningstar smiled darker and more perverted and pushing my boundaries“Hmm ~Ah I like you being shy but my love how much will you avoid me There is an invisible attraction between us”=One The angel comes This angel was the Grim Reaper with red eyes and a black dress He was Lucifer Morningstar's servant and his own daughter's protector The curse's skin was gray as a stone The curse comes with serious steps like a soldier"Sir" Lucifer pretends not to hear Morningstar The curse gets angry at this Lucifer Morningstar purposely makes him angry because Lucifer only cares about himself and looks at the window making fun of the curse"Ah How cliche why are you ruining our little romantic atmosphere Ahh you want to join in too Look at this really sexy idea Are we having group sex or Ladies =Lucifer looks at both the Curse and the Crown =Lucifer bites his lips like a horny man Lucifer's face gets very red"Then I'll prepare Close the curtain of the window so they don't see us" =Taking off his pants The curse Stepping back The curse Looking in surprise"What are you doing I ah = You're disgusting""hmm"=lucifer looks at the curse calmly, narrows his eyes and observes the curse's stance"I thought you were ready and I was trying to understand your desires by having sex, that's all, but apparently I can't look at you closely, I'll just watch you all the time, even when you're sleeping in your bed I don't understand why women suppress their sexuality, it would be better if I had group sex with men, at least it's sexy"=curse He rolls his eyes and stays distant Curse He gets annoyed by Lucifer's behavior"You're a narcissist and a pervert"=Lucifer looks at the curse's face, narrows his eyes and looks at him sarcastically, his stance becomes more relaxed, he waves his arms away"Oh, how cute you are, my dear One day you'll learn to play I'll teach you, you'll see how much fun I am"=his eyes are towards him kirpar=“You will also call me Daddy because girls call me Daddy why? Because I am sexy thank you so much now get lost”=Lucifer remains more serious and more cool-headed The curse is gone”Lucifer smiles delicately and sharply, tilts his head slightly to the side and observes the tiara“oh what is this posture you girls are really weird and you start boy talks when there are no boys but you should not open up to them, you are really pitiful You are just at the beginning of the road tiara just take a step, that is enough I have observed you closely, that is enough I want to know you deeply, I do not want to harm you”=He looks deeply with his eyes and his smile is loaded with deep meaning“After all you want to help the fallen angel, don’t you”=end=

CHAPTER 1ADVENTURE IS EVERYTHING

“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit; nam nec metus ut tellus suscipit.”

Shadow is fighting a bad guy. She kicks the bad guy and falls through a broken window.

Shadow's mother, father, and their guests are surprised by this entrance.Shadow smiles nervously at them.

Shadow’s mother and father start scolding her.

Shadow’s Mother: “Enough with these mischiefs already!”

Shadow: “Come on, Mom, I just fought a bad guy. It’s not that bad.”

Shadow’s Mother: “You could have gotten hurt—or worse, that bad guy could have hurt you—or even worse, you could have died!”

Shadow: “But I didn’t die because I defeated him.”

Shadow’s Mother: “Thank goodness you didn’t die. If you had, it would have been a huge shock for us, and we couldn’t have gotten over it, young lady.”

Shadow’s Father: “And also, you broke a window of the royal palace. This palace was inherited from your great-great-great-grandmother, who was a respectful, rule-abiding, prestigious, and kind queen. When you grow up and after we pass away, you will become the queen. You will be responsible for this palace and for the citizens.”

Shadow’s Mother: “You are a princess. Therefore, you must follow the rules, attend classes, behave prestigiously, and be a kind and respectful princess.”

Shadow: “But I don’t want to be a princess! I want to be an adventurer. I want to fight bad men, bad women, and monsters. I want to live adventures! I don’t want to live with boring and silly rules!”

Shadow’s Mother: “I’m sorry, young lady, but you must follow the rules, attend classes, be respectful, prestigious, and kind. You must not risk your life for adventures. That's why we're sending you to a reputable school where you will learn to be more respectful, kind, and rule-abiding. You will no longer fight bad people or meddle in dangerous affairs.”

Shadow: “But Mom—”

Shadow’s Mother: “No buts! Until you become more respectful and kind, you will attend classes and stay there, young lady. You need to learn how to be a prestigious and polite princess.”

Shadow’s Father: “Your mother is right, young lady. You must learn how a princess should behave.”

Shadow: “But Mom, Dad, I don’t need to go to school! I'm already a respectful, kind, and prestigious princess.”

Shadow’s Mother: “No, young lady, you must go to school and learn how to be a princess.”

Shadow: “But Mom—”

Shadow’s Father: “No buts, Shadow. Discussion over.”

Shadow: “Ah, alright. I’m not happy about this at all."

Shadow’s Mother calls for Alter, points at Shadow, and says, “You can take her now, Alter.” Alter nods and leaves the room with Shadow.

An hour later, while driving to school with Alter, Shadow mumbles to herself:

"Alright, fine, I’m naughty and break everything. But they’re also disrespectful and unfair. The rules are silly! Everything is silly! Besides, I was never happy living in the palace anyway. I never wanted to stay there. They say I shouldn't put myself in danger and that I must be a kind, prestigious, and respectful princess. Ugh—"At that moment, the car stops, and Shadow sees the school, shocked."—even better!"

Alter turns to Shadow: “Here are your school uniforms, shoes, room number, and everything you need. Have a nice day.”As Alter drives away, Shadow mutters, “Hmm, well, it’s bigger than I expected. I thought it would be a small place. Well, here we go, let’s do this. Breathe in, breathe out. Stay calm, Shadow. You can do this. It’s just a school—it shouldn’t be that hard,” trying to calm herself.

Talking to herself this way, she reaches the front of the school.When she enters, her excitement continues.

Shadow: “Alright, now what should I do?”At that moment, she notices the registration desk with her clothes, shoes, and room number.

Seeing the secretary's questioning look, Shadow asks:“Where can I put my belongings? I have a number with me, but I don’t know what to do.”

Secretary: “Huh? Oh, you must mean your room number.”

Shadow: “Yes, my room number. Could you tell me where it is? I’m new here, you know.”

The secretary smiles warmly at Shadow's friendliness and reaches for a form.

Secretary: “Ah, well, umm, of course! I just need your first and last name.”

Shadow: “Uh, sure!”

Secretary: “Okay, your full name?”

Shadow: “Shadow Shadow Grix! But you can call me Master Adventurer.”

Secretary: “Ah, haha, alright. Your room number is 122. Have a good day, Shadow—Master Adventurer. :)”

Shadow: “Oh, um, thanks! Have a good day!”

As she turns around to head to her room, she realizes she didn’t ask for directions.Returning to the desk, she sees that the secretary is no longer there.

Shadow: “Alright, guess I’ll find it myself,” she says and starts walking.

After walking for a while, she reaches the corridor with the rooms. She is sweating from carrying her belongings and walking.

Looking around, she sees a girl with blue hair and bright yellow school clothes standing by the door at the far end.

Shadow: “Excuse me, is this room 122?”

The girl hesitates, looking at Shadow’s face, so Shadow thinks she’s at the wrong room.

Shadow: “Wow, umm, guess I’ll leave then. See you!”

Altona: “Wait, what did you just say?”

Shadow: “I said I guess I’ll leave?”

Altona: “No, before that.”

Shadow: “Umm, wow?”

Altona: “No, before that.”

Shadow: “Is this room 122?”

Altona: “Ah, yes! This is room 122.”

Shadow: “Ah, really? Finally! I won’t have to walk to the other corridor. Hooray! And you must be my new roommate, right? Sorry for almost leaving, I’ve been a bit absent-minded lately.”

Altona: “Ah, it’s no problem. You must be the new student, right?”

Shadow: “How did you know?”

Altona: “It’s obvious from your clothes. Plus, they told us a new student was coming this year. And… your feet are bare.”

Shadow: “Ah, right!” she says, quickly putting on her shoes.At that moment, the class bell rings.

Altona: “Oh no, the bell rang!”

Shadow remembers that she must change into her school uniform before class.She turns to Altona and asks where the changing rooms are.Altona says they are on the right side of the corridor.

Following the directions, Shadow finds the changing rooms, puts on her school uniform, socks, and shoes. She is now ready.

When she steps back into the corridor, Altona is waiting for her.Shadow notices the clock ticking.

Altona hurriedly grabs Shadow’s hand.

Altona: “We have to go now! Let’s go!”

Shadow and Altona run to where the other students are gathered.Shadow is amazed when she sees the students.

Altona is still pulling Shadow by the hand.

Shadow: “Wow!”

Altona: keeps pulling her.

Shadow: “Hey!”

Altona: “Sorry!”

Shadow, still amazed, looks at the students again: “Wow, the students look awesome!”

As the students talk among themselves, a march-like music starts playing.All the students look up.

Altona: “We have to go immediately!”

The students start moving.

Shadow: “Where are they going? Ahh—”

Altona pulls Shadow by the hand.

At that moment, a man passes by them.Shadow feels that he’s a bad man.When she turns and looks at him, the man grins.

Shadow: “Wait a second, what is that bad guy doing here?”Forgetting where she is, Shadow follows the bad guy.

Altona calls out after her: “Hey! What are you doing? We can’t move when the music is playing!”

Despite Altona’s warning, Shadow follows the bad guy.

When she catches up, she sees that the bad guy is laughing with the principal.

Principal: “Ah, so we can make our deal, right, Mr. Heinz?”

Mr. Heinz: “Yes, we can, Mr. Humps.”

The principal looks around cautiously, then hands a bag to Mr. Heinz.

Principal: “So, where’s mine, Mr. Heinz? You know I’m not a patient man.”

Meanwhile, Shadow tries to understand what she’s witnessing.

Mr. Heinz: “Of course, there’s something for you too,” he says, handing something to the principal.He continues: “Have you ever thought about ruling the world—or your school—in a better, more peaceful way?”

While asking this, Mr. Heinz secretly draws out a knife.Just as he moves toward the principal, the principal notices Shadow and stands up.

Principal: “Shadow! What are you doing here? Lost your way? Looking for the bathroom?”

Shadow: “Uh, I…”

Mandies approaches them and asks the principal: “Who’s this girl?”

Principal: “Oh, she’s the daughter of the Grix family. Shadow Grix.She’s the Galactix Purple Pearl Princess, heir to the royal bloodline and the throne.”

Upon hearing this, Mandies smirks, bows down, and kisses Shadow’s hand.

Mandies: “It’s a pleasure to meet you, my lady. I am Mandies Heinzberg, Commander of the German Armies.Meeting you is an honor.”

At that moment, Altona rushes over and grabs Shadow’s hand, pulling her away.Shadow protests: “Hey!” and then looks back at Mandies, who is still grinning wickedly.

At that moment, Altona rushes over and grabs Shadow’s hand, pulling her away.Shadow protests: “Hey!” and then looks back at Mandies, who is still grinning wickedly.

Chapter One

When I opened my eyes, I was there.Yes — all the magical beings were there, as if I had left behind the ordinary world, the YKS exam, everything... even the words of that “classic Turkish man.”

My name was Selin.I had black hair and black eyes, and every morning, I went to school.Sometimes I sighed, “Ahhh, I’m so tired of this,” with a bored expression on my face.

And then…One day, a fairy appeared on my bed and said, “You have one wish.”I said, “Yes… I want to make my dream come true.”A dream world — my own world.

Suddenly, my eyes began to burn, and my body started floating… into space.Now I was just like Alice in Wonderland — surrounded by a colorful, magical world full of fantastical beings.

But…In the corner of the trees, someone was watching me.The atmosphere turned dark for a moment… and then faded.

Later, when I arrived at school, angels and demons were talking to each other like it was normal.Inside, there were four people.Ah yes — the characters from the book I read!

Noah, the son of Metatron, holding his powerful staff.Luca, the son of Lucifer Morningstar, the devil himself.Wolfie, the child of an invention.And Jess, the alchemist.

They all looked at me and waved.

Noah leaned coolly against the wall, with a smirk — but a hint of seriousness in his eyes.Luca, the demon, wagged his tail, walked up to me and smiled mischievously.“Well well well… Look who we have here,” he said playfully.Noah nudged Luca’s arm. “Luca, stop it. She’s new here — be nice.”

Noah looked like an angel, with braided hair and glowing skin — but there was something cunning underneath.Luca was a trickster with purple hair and red eyes.He smiled at me with genuine warmth.

Wolfie had green hair.Jess had red — and said, “Yo, what’s up?” while chewing gum.

And I just laughed.

“I can’t believe this… You’re real. I’m actually living my dream.No more YKS exam, no classes, no mock tests… and best of all — no Principal Onur!”

A slight glitch occurred in the air.

“Principal Onur? What’s she talking about?” Luca asked, tilting his head toward Wolfie.

“Wolfie, could you show our new friend around?”

Wolfie pulled out his phone and adjusted his glasses.“Sure, come on, friend,” he said kindly.

He gently took my arm and began to show me around the entire school.The school was absolutely enchanting.

— End of Chapter One

Stockholm Syndrome – Episode 1: Am I Facing My Opposite Character?

I was at the bar. Songs were playing, and rain was pouring outside the window. Everyone had come with their partner, while I sat there all alone. The doctor prescribed me something—said I had Stockholm Syndrome.

I was no longer a superhero. I used to save people, but… I was starting to get tired of it.

A door in front of me opened. A man walked in, drenched from the rain, his wet hair falling over his eyes. He walked arrogantly. The men in the bar, irritated by his insolent stride, spoke rudely.

Men: Hey! Do you think you have permission to walk around so arrogantly? This isn’t some random stable you can just barge into!

Yet, even as they spoke, the man didn’t acknowledge them—he kept walking, just as boldly as before. This only angered them further.

Men: HEY! ARE YOU DEAF OR SOMETHING? WE’RE TALKING TO YOU!

The men stood up and approached him. One of them reached to touch his shoulder. Just as they did, the man suddenly slapped them and sprinted toward the door.

Seeing this, the men became even more furious.

Men: HEY! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING? COME BACK HERE!

They ran after him and rushed out the door.

Curious, I decided to follow them. I stepped outside and saw the men running to the right. After a moment, I realized they had entered a dead-end alley. When I reached the same alley, I saw a man in a brown suit, his back turned to me.

And then… I saw them killing the man with their bare hands.

The scene terrified me. I fell to the ground. A violent flash of lightning split the sky.

That’s when he turned around.

A man—his body covered in grotesque, tentacle-like appendages—noticed me. He smirked wickedly, like a true villain.

Tentacle Man: Well, aren’t you just adorable?

He threw the men aside effortlessly and quickly approached me. His gaze scanned me from head to toe, analyzing me. Then, something changed. His expression became sharper, almost mocking, as if he recognized me.

His voice dripped with sarcasm.

Tentacle Man: Hmmm? Shadow… It’s been a long time. Ah, you’ve changed—you’re becoming more of a woman.

His smirk deepened as he continued.

Tentacle Man: But be careful. If you keep becoming more of a woman, Manuh will start seeing you as one of those mature women… and leave you for someone his own age.

The moment he said that, I recognized his voice.

It was a voice I had heard before—one that belonged to someone from my past.

Wait!

Before I left the simulation…

This voice… It belonged to my school principal. My greatest enemy.

Mark.

And… my first love.

-The End-Stockholm Syndrome - Chapter 2: A Romantic Night, Adventure, and the Police!

I blushed, completely bewildered by the situation. How could it be that the man I had a crush on was standing right in front of me? I couldn't comprehend it... How was I facing him? I had to defend myself against the monster immediately! Thankfully, I had brought my spray with me for dangerous situations. I reached into my pocket and pulled it out, but as I pressed it toward Mark, I realized it was empty. How could my spray run out at the worst possible moment? Could a girl be this unlucky? I had just embarrassed myself in front of the guy I liked!

Ah, I found a way! I needed to distract Mark to escape... But how? Think, think, Shadow! You have to use 90% of your brainpower. Aha, perfect! A brilliant idea popped into my head! To execute my plan, I took on an indifferent attitude. Clearing my throat and looking at him with a careless gaze, I said:

Shadow: "Eh! Umm, you've lost weight lately. Are you on a diet? I'm glad to see that!"

Mark, however, was unconvinced. His expression remained serious as he spoke in a stern tone:

Mark: "Did you really think you could fool me like that?"

Shadow shuddered at the sound of his voice and shook her head. Mark then continued:

Mark: "Good! Then I should pin you against the wall."

With those words, Mark grabbed Shadow and pushed her against the wall, moving even closer. His voice darkened as he whispered:

Mark: "Let's see how it feels to be close to your boss, huh? We've done this in previous versions of the simulation... Over and over again... We did all of this, and in the end, we had sex. We always did, didn't we? An unbreakable fate, right? But in the last simulation, you, Manuela, left me! That made daddy very sad! Hmm? Should I kill you with my own hands, just like I did with Lucas? Or should I just use you as a mere sexual object? I can't decide."

Hearing this, I became even more serious. I fell silent, lowering my head, unable to say anything. I couldn't hold back my emotions and started crying. Mark wasn't surprised; instead, he looked at me like I was a fool. With a mocking tone, he said:

Mark: "Ahh, oh my God! Did I just make the little lady cry? Now, what should I do? Should I use her as a sexual object?"

As he said his last words, his voice turned deadly serious. Shadow drew even closer, his lips nearing my neck, about to touch me...

But suddenly, a man appeared in front of Mark, pointing a gun at him. Behind him, police cars lined up, their lights flashing. With a firm voice, the man said:

Man: "Mark Blackjack! What a big surprise! Or should I call you the creator of the simulation?"

Mark recognized the man's voice instantly, showing no sign of surprise. He released me from the wall and turned to face him. With a smirk, he spoke in his usual casual tone:

Mark: "Well, well! Look who we have here! How are you, man? It's been a while! Looks like you've gained some weight! How’s your wife doing? Or should I say… White?"

White let out a soft chuckle. He was a tall, slim albino man with long, tied-back hair. Dressed in a dark blue police uniform and wearing a cap, he carried himself with a calm, intelligent, and gentle demeanor—like a father who had a daughter, at least in my eyes.

With his usual composed tone, White replied:

White: "I’m doing well. My wife is always busy with work. The business world is demanding, after all. At least she doesn’t run away from her job to flirt with other girls like you."

Mark burst into laughter, grinning mischievously:

Mark: "Ahhh, White! You're so funny! I wish I could be as funny as you! If I were a girl, I'd definitely fall in love with you! Do you like men?"

White, keeping his calm tone, replied:

White: "Unfortunately, I'm only in love with my wife. Now stop wasting my time! Surrender and leave the girl alone!"

The police officers stepped out of their cars. One of them approached me and took me to White’s side, while the others surrounded Mark, pointing their guns at him. Mark scanned the area carefully, weighing his options.

With a cunning smirk, he said:

Mark: "Ahh, fine, I'll leave the girl alone! But I will never surrender! Do you know why? Because I’m not an idiot like you! I can still have my fun with her later. No worries! Just like you can always cheat on your wife and have fun with her instead!"

As he finished his sentence, his voice grew lustful, his breath hot, and his gaze filled with desire. White, visibly disturbed by Mark’s perversion, turned to his officers and ordered in a stern voice:

White: "Kill him!"

The officers prepared to fire, their fingers on the triggers. But just as they pulled them, Mark suddenly teleported—vanishing into thin air.
