She accepts his offers.Meeting this man reveals many dark secrets from her past, things related to her life and death.*****“Miss Allynna, would you like to know your birth parents?” The mysterious man's cold and emotionless voice brought her out of her thoughts.She immediately nodded, agreeing with his offer.“But, I have two conditions.” He said coldly.Allynna silently took a deep sigh. Her witty mind knows it! There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.After a few seconds of silence, she bravely asks him, “Conditions? I need to know what they are first before I can say anything. So, what are the conditions?”The man stood up from the sofa gracefully.

He looked at the scenery out of the window with his back facing Allynna.“First, you need to move to the Capital.”“Second. I want you to marry me willingly.” He said without looking at her.

Keith, a regular office worker from Earth, suddenly transmigrates to the world of the novel he had been reading for the past decade. The new world, which was also called Earth, was slightly different. People with various powers existed who were called awakeners, making this world comparatively dangerous and also mysterious. While he was thrown into the novel’s world, he was also given a mystical ability to grant systems to other people. Armed with his special ability, he slowly climbs up the power ladder by taking “taxes” from the people he would give systems to. The only question that remained, was what would a realistic normal man, when faced with a similar minded protagonist, do when their goals opposed each other.

You were taken to another world by a ghost ship.

You are uneasy.

There are ravings in your ears, accompanied by weird bgm, you sing and dance rap in pain.

You are impoverished, and you swear by your personality that you made a deal with the devil, and in the end the devil was sold by you.

You are walking on the road, and you meet a down-and-out princess who is begging for a child with a lot of money, and you yell “Mom~” in the street out of the principle of helping others

In the middle of the night, you flipped through the pages of “Ten Thousand and One Nights” in your hand, and your excitement became stronger and stronger…
