Transmigrated into the Gacha Game I Abandoned for 10 Years

Lartania, despite being less than a year old, had grown into a very prosperous territory due to its unique identity as a Labyrinth City.

Of course, since only a year had passed, the number of residents was not as large as the capitals of other kingdoms or flourishing territories. However, Lartania had a larger floating population compared to other territories, and the reason was the mercenaries.

Thanks to the irresistible allure of the Labyrinth City for mercenaries, the number of mercenaries residing in Lartania now far exceeded the number of its residents.

Because of the large number of mercenaries surpassing the residents, many shops had sprung up throughout Lartania.

Starting with the basic shops needed by mercenaries, such as blacksmiths and potion stores related to combat,

various other stores had appeared, including shops for miscellaneous goods and material shops selling items obtained from the Labyrinth.

At the same time, other types of stores started to appear one by one, catering to more than just the mercenaries’ needs.

For example, shops that sold somewhat perverse potions or those that offered items for indulging in secret luxuries.

In addition, many hobby-based stores appeared, not necessarily for essential items, but purely for personal enjoyment.

Of course, many of these hobby-based stores catered to niche tastes, but the reason they thrived in Lartania was due to the fluidity of its population.

No matter how niche a hobby may be, with such a large floating population, there would always be at least one or two people who enjoyed it, allowing these businesses to thrive.

Sharian was one of the merchants who quickly abandoned her business in the Calan Kingdom to settle in Lartania, drawn by its bustling floating population.

To be more precise, she wasn’t just a typical merchant, but a clothing seller who designed and made her own garments.

However, despite being a clothing store, what made her shop unusual – according to those who frequented it – was the fact that Sharian sold highly niche, adult-oriented clothing.

And so, Sharian was now standing with a rather awkward expression, staring at the woman in front of her – none other than Elena, Lartania’s Captain of the Guard.

“…So you’re not here for an inspection…but rather to buy something?”

“Yes.”

At Elena’s reply, Sharian began to seriously ponder why high-ranking individuals had been frequenting her shop, which was usually visited by mercenaries.

‘Last time, one of the Five Swords of Calan came to buy something…and now the Captain of the Guard…?’

Of course, she had no complaints about one of the Five Swords purchasing clothes.

In fact, they had paid more cleanly than the mercenaries and even added a bonus on top.

However, Sharian couldn’t help but wonder why a woman, not a man, would purchase clothing that she herself found quite vulgar.

Up until now, nearly all of her customers had been men who bought the clothes to ask women to wear them for special occasions, not women buying them for themselves.

“…Do you not have any?”

“Oh, no! We have some.”

Sharian quickly snapped out of her thoughts as Elena’s words brought her back to the present.

‘There’s no need to question why they’re buying. Just sell the clothes.’

Equipping herself with a merchant’s mindset, Sharian put on a purely commercial smile and began her sales pitch.

“Hmm, I understand. So, what specific type of clothing are you looking for?”

“What kind of clothing…?”

“Yes, as you can see, we have quite a variety of clothing here. If you tell me what you’re looking for, I can select items that match your taste.”

As Elena hesitated, Sharian added more to the conversation.

“Ah, if you’re shopping for someone else, you can tell me their preferences, and I’ll help you find something suitable for them.”

Elena let out a small “Ah” of realization before speaking.

“First of all, something…a little sexy would be good.”

“Got it.”

“Something…animal-themed might be good.”

“Okay, and?”

“The…smaller the fabric, the better…”

As Elena’s voice trailed off, Sharian nodded and thought to herself.

‘Well, that’s a pretty niche taste.’

Of course, it was thanks to such niche tastes that she was able to keep her business afloat.

‘I didn’t think the Captain of the Guard would have a boyfriend.’

Sharian thought about Elena’s infamous nickname, “Iron Blood”, known for delivering swift justice, as she pulled out some clothing that matched Elena’s request.

“How about this?”

“This is…”

“It’s animal-themed, and as small as possible.”

“Why is this part…open?”

“It’s designed that way.”

“Then what’s the point of wearing…”

“It’s meant to cater to a specific…niche taste.”

Seeing Elena’s eyes trembling, Sharian grabbed another outfit.

“Shall I show you something else?”

“……”

About 20 minutes passed after that.

Sigh…

Elena left the shop with a single outfit in her hands, and Sharian’s store was temporarily sold out of a revealing bunny costume.

While Elena was secretly purchasing that eccentric outfit, the Hero King – Charyll – was in her own room, deep in thought.

“……”

In truth, she had never imagined her relationship with Kim Hyunwoo progressing beyond what it was now.

To be precise, when she had sought him out for forgiveness in the demon realm, her goal had been to be forgiven and restore their past relationship.

In short, now that she had achieved her goal, the Hero King should have been happy.

She should have been happy.

“……”

Unfortunately, the Hero King was not particularly happy right now.

Of course, when Kim Hyunwoo had first accepted her back, she had felt happiness.

That had been the extent of her expectations.

However, as word spread that Kim Hyunwoo had spent nights with other heroes, that happiness began to fade.

Charyll had initially thought that being forgiven was the final goal, believing their broken relationship would never progress beyond that.

However, contrary to her thoughts, the other heroes’ relationships with Kim Hyunwoo were progressing far beyond what she had anticipated.

It was as if the boundaries she had imagined held no meaning from the start.

And so…

‘I want to… I also want…’

Before long, hope and longing began to fill the Hero King’s eyes.

A few days after Rin had spent the night with Kim Hyunwoo, there was just one day left before the Package expired, and the Labyrinth would fully reset.

Sigh…

Kim Hyunwoo, seeing most of the buildings reaching Level 7 and progressing rapidly, had a satisfied expression while also letting out a sigh.

The reason was due to the increasingly blatant advances from the heroes recently.

Since rumors had spread that he had already slept with two other heroes, the heroes were now pursuing Kim Hyunwoo without any hesitation.

It felt as if they were betting on who would “devour” Kim Hyunwoo first.

And in such a situation, where Kim Hyunwoo had already “fallen” twice, he was beginning to wonder if it might be better to just accept things.

A ★★★ Hero 'Golden Witch' has entered the territory.

[The Tienus Merchant Group has arrived at the territory!]

The Tienus Merchant Group returned to Lartania territory quite quickly this time.

And then.

“…Save me…”

Adria, upon returning to Lartania, began shedding the tears of a working professional as she watched the Crimson Dragon start wailing after hearing a few words from the spy she had planted.
