    I never thought there would be a Part 2 of this ruined work.

    “Wow…… The author's mental state was the best.”

    So I have to stay here until Part 2 is over? Do you know when it's going to end? After Part 2 ends and Part 3 starts? Then what about me?

    If the author was in front of me, I would want to strangle him.

    ‘Why won't you let me go? Why!’

    Anger surged like crazy. Undine, who reacted sensitively to changes in the contractor's emotions, clung to me.

    - A, Adele? Are you upset? Why are you getting angry all of a sudden? What did I do wrong?
    “No, it's not like that…….”

    I couldn't even speak properly because I felt like I was going to go crazy. I closed my eyes tightly.

    Then, letters appeared one by one as if someone were typing in the blackened field of view.

    [Chapter 1: Three men and one woman, same bed, different dreams*.]

    [Stage 3: Adrian, perfectly dressed, as usual, went down to the dining room for breakfast.]

    It was a Stage 3 instruction. Must follow.

    I twitched my lips.

    ‘I don't play puppets anymore. Just kill me.’

    “Kkeok!”

    As soon as I refused the instruction, blood gushed from the inside. Undine screamed as she clung to my shoulder.

    - Kyaah! Adele! Your mouth is bleeding!
    “Huu, kku kku kkeuk-”

    I laughed with my teeth stained red with blood. Seeing my appearance, Undine backed away with a terrified face. I probably looked like a demon.

    - A, Adele…… Why, why did you laugh? It, it’s scary.

    [Stage 3: Adrian, perfectly dressed, as usual, went down to the dining room for breakfast.]

    Stage 3 instructions flashed again.

    I opened my eyes wide and said grudgingly.

    “I said…… I won't do it!”
    - Who the hell are you talking to! Stop it! I'm so scared…….

    Undine's cries gradually faded. The pain came over me again.

    “With, with this kind of pain…… Haa, haa, do, do you think you can subdue me? Don’t, don't make me laugh……. Not, not even clos-”

    Ora?

    Against my will, my body leaned backward.

    Thud!

    - Kkyaaak! Adele!!!

    My consciousness ended with Undine's scream.

* * *

    A familiar ceiling, a familiar bed.

    “Where did I see…… Heok!”

    As soon as I opened my eyes, I jumped up.

    “Ahurgh!”

    My heart ached terribly. The aftereffects of the penalty still lingered.

    “Hurt…….”

    I stood up, rubbing my chest.

    When I was a warrior, I was fine with two or three penalties a day. Even if I vomited a bowl of blood and felt like my heart was being ripped apart, I would soon be fine if I endure it. But to faint after one penalty…….

    ‘This body is ridiculously weak, isn't it?’

    I even seemed to feel pain more sensitively than when I was a warrior. If I held on to this while in Part 1, I might die of shock.

    But who was I? Was I not someone who never give up against suffering, who endured for four years in the Department of Architecture, which was famous for its many assignments?

    My tenacity was as strong as anyone else. Now that it was like this, I would endure it.

    [Ddi-ring-]

    [<I Became a Saint who Saved the World> Serial Event!

    Great benefits are given to you who worked hard in Part 1!

    First, you have become the most beautiful woman in the world!

    Second, you can use Spirit Technique, the protagonist's ability in Part 1!

    Third, a hidden ability has been added to you!]

    “Cut it out! How many times have I told you that you don't need it all! All I want is to go back to normal! Please let me go, I begged on my hands and feet!”

    A small room, a desk full of architectural mobiles, quiet music, a single bed, a table with glue all over it, half-empty beer cans and potato chips on it.…….

    And my parents who run an orchard in the countryside. My mom and dad packed fruit until their fingerprints wear off to raise their young daughter.

    I just want to go back to my normal life, but is this really that difficult?

    “You thought I'd keep moving as you please? At least make a promise. Promise to send me back when Part 2 is over!”

    [Stage 3: Adrian, perfectly dressed, as usual, went down to the dining room for breakfast.]

    You're telling me to shut up and follow the instructions, right? All right, let's see who wins.

    “You bastard.”

    Snap!

    The pain, which had barely subsided, started again. I opened my trembling lips and forced a smile.

    “Stop being clingy…… to people you don't like…… and get lost.”

    Consciousness quickly faded. It was beyond the limits of what this body could endure.

    At that time, as if confronting me, the unmoving letters were slowly erased, and a new sentence was created.

    [Complete Part 2!

    Whatever you want, your dream★will come true!

    ※CAUTION: Invalid as soon as identification is detected. Except for by non-human beings.]

    So, you're saying that if I finish Part 2 while hiding the fact that I’m Adela** from people other than non-human beings, you'll send me back?

    “How do I believe that?”

    [<I Became a Saint who Saved the World - Subtitles: Real End, Final of Final, Absolutely no Part 3>

    Now, shall we start running in earnest? Let’s get it!!!]

    Are you going to put it in subtitles at all?

    “Good…… Then I'll fall for it just one more time.”

    Never mind. I won't be beaten like last time.

    I closed my eyes satisfactorily. It was the second fainting.

* * *

    I was an ordinary university student.

    One of many university students who come to Seoul from the provinces and live on the money their parents send them.

    There were no signs on the day in question.

    As usual, I came back home from class and did my assignment. And did you fall asleep after emptying a can of beer?

    But when I opened my eyes, I was in a book.

    At first, I didn't even know that this was inside a book. Of course. As soon as you open your eyes, who's going to think, ‘Oh God! Is this the phenomenon of possessing books?’, right? Of course, I thought I was drunk.

    Drunk with a can of beer. I've gotten a lot weaker……. With these thoughts in mind, I tried to go back to sleep.

    However, at that very moment, a long sentence came to mind in front of my eyes.

    [Ddi-ring-]

    [Welcome to <I Became a Warrior who Saved the World>!

    You are Adela Helsington, the protagonist and warrior!

    Please act freely during normal times and follow instructions at important crossroads!

    Instructions are displayed in stages according to their importance. Stage 1 is 100% degree of freedom, Stage 2 is 50% degree of freedom, and Stage 3 is 5% degree of freedom.

    Depending on the degree of freedom, the range of choices widens, and there is a penalty for refusing an instruction with a low degree of freedom.

    Now, until the day <I Became a Warrior who Saved the World> is completed, fighting!!!]

    <I Became a Warrior who Saved the World> was a fantasy novel I read a while ago. It was a typical adventure growth fantasy to gather comrades and defeat the demon king, but it was ruined because it was boring.

    The existence that called me into the novel was the ‘author’, and I called him ‘the ruined author’.

    He usually left me free, but if he thought I'm going to deviate from the original, he'd give me instructions. I had to ignore them, dramatize them, or copy them like a parrot according to their importance.

    Having become a warrior like that, I rolled like a dog for a year and saved the world from the hands of the demon king and died.

    Waiting for me to open my eyes in the original world.

    “But Part 2…….”

    I read Part 1 over and over again, but I have no idea what Part 2 was about.

    For the third time today alone, I sighed and opened my hands.

    “Undine. I won't be angry, so come see me.”

    Undine poked her face out of my hair.

    - ……Really? You're not going to talk to yourself, laugh eerie, scare me, or anything like that, right?
    “Eung. Sorry.”

    I patted her and sorted out the questions for a while.

    “How long has it been since I died?”
    - Well, I don't know exactly because I went to the spirit realm right after you died.…… It's been about 5 years in human time?

    It hasn't been that long. Then I don't know if I can meet with my old comrades.

**From this part, in the original raw, the author changes from “Adele” to “Adela”.
