Surviving as a Barbarian in a Fantasy World - Chapter 333: The Sword Demon Caliste (1)

“Scramble Love” is a Japanese hit love comedy manga that has accumulated over 10 million copies sold.I was thrown into this manga that I had never read before.And to top it all off, as an extra with no considerable influence.

The real daughter of the Lin family, Lin Luqiu, was lost for many years and was found suddenly, only to be asked by her parents to replace her fake daughter sister in marrying a living corpse!She uses her exceptional medical skills to wake her vegetative husband, but to her surprise, the first thing he says upon waking is, “Let's get a divorce.”She laughs in anger, “Fu Jingchen, you really are an ungrateful dog of a man.”After the divorce, everyone learns that the seemingly rustic girl is actually wearing many hats as the true powerhouse.She is actually the prized disciple of a giant in the medical field, a world-class piano master, and a genius jewelry designer... all of these are her.Later, a regretful President Fu comes to ask her to remarry.She dominantly refuses, “President Fu, sorry, no time!”The man pulls her into his arms frantically, “As long as you come back, I will give you my life!”

After announcing it will be discontinuing all service, the internet game ‘Yggdrasil’ shut down… That was the plan, but for some reason, the player character did not log out some time after the server was closed. NPCs start to become sentient. A normal youth who loves gaming in the real world seemed to have been transported into an alternate world along with his guild, becoming the strongest mage with the appearance of a skeleton, Momonga. He leads his guild ‘Ainz Ooal Gown’ towards an unprecedented legendary fantasy adventure!

“Block him.”“He's technically still my boss.”“Then block him with dignity.”The call ended again.And then started again.I let out a sound somewhere between a growl and a sob, then finally answered with the enthusiasm of a snail crawling through salt.“Yes, Mr. Walton?”“Have you changed your mind yet?”I collapsed onto the towel and gazed at the sky as though it might consume me entirely if I pleaded sweetly enough.“Do you ever take a break?” I asked, shielding my eyes with one hand.“You're avoiding the question.”“Because it's a dumb question.”He exhaled, the sound sharp and irritated even over phone. “It's not a dumb question. It's a business offer.”“It's a weird offer-one that I already said no to.”There was a brief pause, and I could practically hear him clenching his jaw through the speaker.“You are acting unreasonably.”“ Unreasonable?” I sat up. “I'm not the one drafting fake girlfriend contracts like it's a normal Tuesday.”“Isabella-”“Certainly not, Mr. Walton.” I mimicked his tone perfectly. “I told you I'm not doing it. You need to find someone else to play pretend with.”SYNOPSISIsabella Miller thought saying no to her boss’s fake dating offer was the end of the story.But Adrien Walton doesn’t take no—especially not when he’s convinced she’s a gold digger.Suddenly, her student loans are piling up, her father’s vet clinic is on the brink of eviction and her brother is about to be kicked out of college.

No drama. Just business.Or so she thought.“Conference Room B. Fifteen minutes,” he said, passing by without a glance.The folder he pushed across the table landed with a thud.I opened it.

Of course.Tension that could melt steel?Absolutely.Smut?? Wanna find out?Welcome to corporate romance warfare. There’s no escaping this contract.
