“I’m so jealous.”

Crouching in the corner, I bit my nails.

I caught a glimpse of the outside world.

It shone far brighter than the dull, purposeless ruins that filled the outside.

“You’ve been adapting and living well out there.”

Once, I was the same kind of being.

But now, a demon named Penny, who even has a name, lives happily.

I realized that I had lost all my strength and become weak.

“Ugh, I’m so jealous I could puke…”

And yet, I still felt a sense of happiness.

That’s why the jealousy burned even more.

“Juddak…”

The reason this vast space couldn’t consume that colorful world out there was simple.

It’s because Juddak exists over there.

That existence protected the powerless Penny.

“Why…?”

She was the weakest among them.

Now she has no strength at all.

Why is she happier, more joyful, eating delicious food, and living cheerfully than I am?

But even with this jealousy, I couldn’t cross over.

Only when the outside permitted me could I slip through the rift to see that world.

-Wooong.

“Not anymore.”

But for some reason, the outside had changed.

It opened a single rift freely for me.

Usually, I couldn’t go out, but now I could come and go.

“Now… it’s mine.”

Jealousy rose to her feet and walked toward the rift.

To snatch away Penny’s things and make them her own.

Get lost, damn it!

That’s one ugly face destroying everything in the game!

[Likes: 3141] [Dislikes: 12]

– Hahaha, can’t believe a dwarf is cursing!

– But it really is cheating, for sure!

– What’s up with tearing paper, but not being able to rip steel?

– Seriously, a dwarf ripping a steel weapon apart…

– (Ugh, so scary, Elf Con)

Penny returned again, this time accompanied by countless monsters.

But the monster army was just for show.

She single-handedly darted across the battlefield, inflicting substantial damage on the dwarves.

She effortlessly crushed those magnificent dwarven weapons with her bare hands.

-Crack!

“Huh?”

The only thing that seemed effective was indeed steel.

A steel sword was embedded in the shoulder of Jealousy.

But that didn’t ensure her safety.

“Did Juddak make this too?”

Jealousy just gazed at the steel sword in wonder.

“Grr, you ugly monster-like creature!”

In the end, the dwarf had no choice but to abandon the steel sword and retreat far away.

Even in that chaos, Jealousy examined the steel sword lodged in her arm.

“Die!”

That was when a nearby dwarf threw a grenade close by.

-KBOOM!

With a loud explosion, red smoke surged upwards.

“Did I get it?”

I shouted with desperation, but as the smoke cleared, all that was visible was a bit of torn skin.

-Swoosh.

“Kilgroth, for heaven’s sake!”

And it healed almost instantly.

“Is this also something Juddak made…?”

Instead of panicking, she marveled while touching her own face.

“Incredible. That’s why I’m so jealous.”

Soon, her face twisted like a demon’s.

“You guys were having such fun in this world all on your own.”

Gripped by jealousy, she began to tremble, then went wild.

“Grrrgh…”

“Kyaaa!”

All around her, monsters and dwarves were torn apart.

“I’m jealous… I’m jealous… I’m jealous…!”

“You ugly beast…”

The sight of her murmuring like a doll made the dwarves recoil in disgust.

“Is it not yet time?”

The king in the lead, Taldain, shouted.

Brothers, Juddak had given the dwarves a new magic.

“Now, it’s done!”

The dwarf hiding then dashed out and pulled the trigger.

-Thwack!

“Huh?”

Something embedded itself into the neck of the enraged Jealousy.

Compared to the powerful weapons I had seen before, this attack was too pathetic and simple.

What Jealousy checked was merely a sharp piece of steel.

“You think you can stop me with just this?”

If she were a normal life form, this would have been fatal, but she was immortal.

The thought that these mere creatures were enjoying the gallery of Juddak made her rage boil over.

And in that moment, just as she was about to unleash her fury…

Juddak*: How’s it going? Are you feeling sleepy?

“Juddak…?”

Juddak*: You were just served up.

A gallery appeared before the dwarves, and suddenly, Juddak’s chat popped up.

Whatever it was, it looked like magic was cast.

Jealousy smiled wickedly.

“Whatever it is, this won’t be enough.”

Juddak*: Oh really?

“Aren’t you looking down on me too much?”

Even though she specialized in close combat, she was still one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

To cast magic on the opponent, one had to be far superior or exhaust their mana completely.

And Jealousy was confident that her mana was second to none.

As she was about to scoff and speak…

“Still, I need to give it my all… huh?”

She couldn’t finish her sentence.

This feeling of losing all strength.

“What is this?”

As Jealousy tilted her head in confusion…

“Hweh?”

-Thud

With a sound of deflation, she fell asleep right there.

**

“Gotcha, you!”

I caught Jealousy.

Good thing I had filled the anesthetic solution to the brim.

Penny looked at the bound Jealousy with troubled eyes.

“…That was easier than I expected.”

She thought it would take at least a few building demolitions or days to drag her down.

Instead, the reactions were that they had expected the gallery to go this way.

– But I thought it would go like this.

Haha, seriously.

– They say not to worry about the knight or Juddak.

– Juddak*) But she’s immortal, so that’s cheating!

– Immortality is a basic ability…

– Whatever it is, I’m asking for the third time if spicy tuna is coming to the marketplace today.

– Juddak*) Nope.

– No way!!! It can’t be real…

Instead, they were more interested in spicy tuna.

The only bait about Jealousy was her attire.

[Title: If I really need to scold, that’s a big upvote]

(A clip of Jealousy in an indecent outfit)

(A clip of her falling asleep with her eyes closed)

As a real knight, it’s hard to just watch.

Inside me, the [Giant Steel Greatsword] is screaming…

– Broken longsword.

– Assassin’s hidden dagger.

– Pitiful rogue’s dagger.

– (You brought this upon yourself! Knight Con)

[Title: Evaluate the material I thought of…txt]

(A frog resting its chin on its hand, grinning)

First of all, it’s a female protagonist story.

She mistakenly thinks she’s incredibly strong.

In reality, she’s strong enough to beat common mobs and named ones.

Then, she finds someone she likes and tries to overpower them…

Only to get perfectly countered and faint.

And she’s dragged to the enemy camp, waiting for her treatment in front of an enraged race… how about that?

[Likes: 1032] [Dislikes: 201]

– Quite indecent, hehe.

– Oh.

– Wise young man.

– Haha, but where’s such a person?

– Humans only think like that, right?

– Ugh, seems like they don’t know embarrassment.

– What would Juddak say if he saw this?

**

As I was thinking that, Jealousy, who was bound, slowly lifted her head.

Then, seeing her captured state, her eyes widened in shock.

She tried to strengthen her arms, but the anesthetic had taken over her body.

Not only could she not exert any strength, but the iron cuffs were also tied to the floor.

“…How?”

Watching the flustered Jealousy, I typed in the chat.

Juddak*: You’re awake, look at the Gallery of Annihilation.

“Juddak? What did you do to me?”

She looked bewildered as if she had never expected to be subdued like this.

“I didn’t feel any mana at all.”

Juddak*: Everyone says that.

“A regular spell shouldn’t be able to cast such magic on my mind so easily.”

Jealousy surveyed the surroundings, and with a relaxed demeanor, shrugged her shoulders.

“Alright, fine. You’re way stronger than I thought.”

Even in a cornered situation, she showed no signs of panic or fear.

She seemed to find it amusing as she approached the gallery.

-Clank!

Of course, she was restrained by chains and fell clumsily to the ground.

But Jealousy, lying on the floor, lifted her head and licked her lips.

“Juddak, you know what? I’m more interested in you. You subdued me that easily.”

-Crack!

Suddenly, the atmosphere shifted slowly as the cuffs were scratched roughly by Jealousy’s strength.

“Are you mad, perhaps?”

She could have easily dodged if she wanted.

However, it was just a case of being careless, so it made sense to be angry, but that wasn’t the case.

“That’s why I’m even more jealous!”

Juddak*: What?

“I want you so badly. Hah, I wasn’t going to go this far, but…”

Somehow, a red tint filled Jealousy’s face as she bit down hard on her lower lip.

-Crack.

And with that, the dead monsters began to rise slowly.

“Say hello. This is my undead monster army that I took care to create.”

The monsters revived.

“This is pure cheating.”

I momentarily lost my words.

Well, I almost did.

“But they look sort of shabby?”

Maybe because they came back from the dead.

It wasn’t that the monsters were fully revived, but rather that they awkwardly got back up.

Most of them were rock-golems, and the traces of destruction were glaringly obvious.

“So they’re ultimately not undead?”

I thought they would recover even if they turned into dust, but there seemed to be limits.

“Haha! Juddak, what are you going to do now?”

As I watched Jealousy gloat through the screen, I opened the shop window.

And with a deep breath, I purchased something.

[Consumed 16,425p.]

“Oh no, my blood is like money!”

Even though the price was outrageous, I didn’t feel regret.

If it works, it would be perfect for whenever issues like this arise.

[The item has been delivered to the shipping address!]

-Thud!

Taldru: Brother, oh brother!

Taldru: A giant chunk of steel fell from the sky, what on earth is this?

A massive object was delivered in front of the dwarves.

An object large enough to hold a person, or even a rock.

At a glance, the dwarves looked at its chilling exterior with equal parts curiosity and fear.

Juddak*: That?

It had once been a popular video to experiment on how far it could destroy.

Juddak*: It’s a metal shredder, ooh.

A shredder that could turn everything into dust.

-Vvrrrrr!

As the machine roared to life with a rough sound.

“…Huh?”

Jealousy’s proud expression turned pale in an instant.
