"I tore apart time itself to escape her, and she burned the world to follow me." I possessed a background character in a dark fantasy novel and bled to protect the heroine, Elara, hoping to survive. But she was no fragile saint—she was an obsessive monster who orchestrated every tragedy just to lock me away in her underground dungeon forever. In despair, I shattered my mana core and regressed ten years into the past to assassinate her. But terror froze my veins when her ten-year-old self smiled at me: she remembered. She had slaughtered thousands of mages to follow me through time, twisting my fatal curse to legally bind me as her exclusive, life-long servant. Now, trapped in the Magic Academy, she plays the angelic genius while I play her devoted dog. She thinks I’ve surrendered to her golden cage, but beneath my docile mask, I still hold the power of a Grand Mage. I will feed her the perfect illusions of love she craves, and at the absolute peak of her euphoria... I will shatter her soul-bind and burn her empire to the ground. A deadly cat-and-mouse game between an obsessive tyrant and a man desperate enough to destroy her.
