Rofan's Gem: The Classics of Romance Novel - V1. The Classics of Romance Novel ~ C3.4 ~ Large dog men

The giant snake’s form dispersed into the air, but its deadly paralyzing venom began to slowly eat away at Elina3’s entire body.

Elina3 felt her shaky vision soon collapse. At the same time, she realized that her own body was also collapsing. With a bang, the sword fell to the floor. Elina3, kneeling, slowly and painfully looked back at Lara.

‘You… trusted me and acted like that?’

The silver eyes that had said to ask for my help trembled and closed. Lara didn’t know what to do next.

“Elina3!”

Elina2 roughly escaped from the arms of the leader of the thugs and hugged Elina3, who had fallen to the cold alley floor. However, soon after, she was hit in the back of the neck by the thugs and fainted.

‘What the heck should I do… … .’

When Lara, who had turned pale, was just trembling in place, the leader of the gangsters glanced at Lara. His greedy eyes sparkled as he found his next target, but soon disappeared in indifference.

“Let’s go. You guys, carry these bitches and follow me. I don’t want to get hurt by the high-quality goods I’ve finally gotten my hands on.”

If we continued like this, we would definitely lose Elina. Lara hesitantly followed after them.

‘… God, what should I do from now on… …?’

<Since it’s going well according to the cliché, just leave it alone. I’ll be dragged to the slave market and auctioned off, and I’ll meet the new male protagonist there.>

‘T-But still! What if something happens because of the non-cliche!’

<If you’re that worried, you can get kidnapped and follow along. Of course, they don’t seem to have any intention of kidnapping you. Huh.>

‘This god is real, I know you’re talking!’

Lara got angry and deliberately made her footsteps louder. The subordinate walking ahead her glanced back, but no one tried to grab her.

She felt completely ignored. Was she an extra Lara who wasn’t worth kidnapping? Slightly offended, Lara used her Lady’s Shrinking Technique to get ahead of them. Then she came face to face with the vicious-looking leader.

“… What’s this?”

She was talking as if she had seen him before and was seeing him for the first time. Lara was a little grateful, but she was a little upset inside at the discrimination.

“Um, why don’t you kidnap me… …?”

“There are grades for slave goods, Miss. We also take a commission when we auction off items. But if we kidnap you, we won’t have anything left. Get out of my way!”

Although she flinched at the shouting, Lara held back tears and pulled out all the money she had in her robe pocket.

“You can pay the fee with this!”

“It’s not the fee that’s the problem, you’re saying that there’s no product value.” “I’m also a noble, Young-Ann! Why are you discriminating against people!! It’s so frustrating… … !!”

She burst out sobbing. A dirty world that values ​​appearance. The boss must have felt bad for Lara, so he hit Lara’s nape and knocked her unconscious. Lara was kidnapped by them while having a happy dream.

Lara suddenly woke up to a hand shaking her body hard. A familiar face appeared in her hazy vision.

Elina2… … ? Elina3… … ? That’s the problem. When Lara’s dry lips twitched, a slightly cheerful voice was heard.

“Are you awake? Phew, thank goodness.”

Elina2 let out a small sigh, lowering the hand that was holding her shoulder. “You were kidnapped too. Do you remember?”

“Ugh.”

Lara answered, looking away from her eyes. Yes, I was kidnapped. It’s not a lie, she said, trying to make excuses with her conscience.

The place she was currently being taken to seemed to be a prison for slaves. There were also prisons lined up on the other side of the hallway, and they were all filled with beauties. They were of various races, including elves, mermaids, and water people.

There was no one in this world who could beat Elina, who had silver hair and silver eyes and looked like a true heroine, but they were also beautiful women just as much as the heroines. Lara felt grateful to the leader who had been considerate enough to allow her to be in this special group without dividing them into sections.

“But Lara, do you remember where Elina3 was taken? I can’t see Elina3! She must have taken her sword. Oh, what should I do? There’s no other way to contact them!”

“Calm down for now. Are the spirit kings still asleep?”

“They can’t be summoned. They share each other’s minds, so they can be summoned anytime, anywhere… , but they must have cast some kind of special spell.”

Elina2 muttered with a stiff expression. Suddenly, when the atmosphere became ominous, Lara immediately blamed God.

‘What are we going to do now! We just believed in the clichés without a plan and the situation only got worse!’

<It’s just a matter of time. The male protagonist will come to the rescue at the moment of life or death and we will escape safely.>

“Kuaaaaaaaah! Ugh… Aaaaaaaah!!”

That was when the man’s breathless scream was heard. Following that, the terrifying sound of someone’s bones being ground with a saw was heard. It seemed to come from an old door at the end of the prison.

Lara thought, that must be a meat store. It would be a place where they would personally prepare and cook meat to provide a delicious meat meal to slaves who would never see them again after being sold. And that screaming sound would not be human, but simply the sound of a pig being slit.

At that moment of firm belief, dark red blood slowly flowed down through the crack in the door. Lara and Elina2, who were shoulder to shoulder, opened their eyes wide enough to see more of the whites of their eyes.

<I’m taking back what I said.>

The god changed his words quickly.

<It’s your job to correct the cliché. It’s something I couldn’t do, so what if you hold me responsible? … Hello. Oh, sir, I contacted you because I thought the age limit should be changed to 19. No, it’s not a dirty god, but I thought my dragon would become a bit cruel… … .>

The god’s prophecy came true. The old door opened and a pot-bellied giant began to walk down the hallway, holding a bloody hammer. Lara barely held back tears as she clung to the corner of the prison as much as possible.

“Who should I pick next? Kkul… … .” ‘Save me!!’

In order to escape, Elina2 and I grabbed the iron bars, but they didn’t budge. The lively gag character Elina2 was panicking and just flailing her arms.

“… I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die… … . I don’t want to die… … .” ‘The female protagonist’s condition has gotten weird!!’

Shin didn’t answer. Lara bit her lip and desperately wanted the cliche more than ever. If the male protagonist doesn’t come to save her quickly, she’ll be the first female protagonist to be cut to pieces in a romance novel.

<Lara, it’s your turn.> ‘What, what?’

The moment I turned around at the words setting up the dead flag, my eyes met with the giant standing right beyond the iron bars. I had an ominous feeling. The corners of the giant’s mouth went up. Small splatters of blood were frozen on his triple-folded chin and neck.

“I’ve decided on you two. Now, who wants to go first?”

With a face as pale as blood, Lara looked at Elina2, and Elina2 looked at Lara.

It was the beginning of a game of deadly eyes to see who would be caught by the killer and dragged to the slaughterhouse first.

However, in less than 3 seconds, the killer’s hand grabbed Elina2’s thin wrist.

“Ahh! Let me go! Silphid!!”

The desperate screams of the heroine in danger echoed throughout the prison. Surprised, Lara shivered and shivered.

<Now. Scream, but follow along in a desperate tone as if you’ve gathered your courage.

―I’ll go instead. So let my friend go… … . I’m sorry, Elina2… … . I want to help you in this way.> ‘Why… …? Why am I here… … ?’

<There’s no scene that makes you cry as much as the extras’ sacrifices. So, he creates a touching cliché where he sacrifices his body to save the heroine!>

‘You’re saying that now! This god is really… … .’ The backlash was fierce, but the god stubbornly insisted.

<How desirable it is for an extra who is afraid of dying and still has regrets about life, but is willing to give up his life because he thinks that his friend, Yeo-ju, should live.>

‘We’ve only been friends for a day, so how dare you give up my life for me! And don’t weigh people’s lives against each other. There’s nothing a god can’t say, really!’

<What kind of habit is that to a god? Even if you tell him to take the lead as an extra!>

‘Honestly, Yeo-ju should take the lead in this!’

<If Yeo-ju dies, this world will end, so taking the lead is a no-no.>

‘Do you think that if you just add this, it’ll all sound like a god and be kind? That tone really bothers me. Huh.’

Lara turned her head toward the ceiling like a snobbish young lady.

<Don’t you want to be remembered by the readers? Of course, the name of your extra friend will be forgotten in no time, but there was such a kind person… And it will remain a good image among readers for a long time.>

‘I don’t have such greed. Not everyone in the world lives a life that only pursues such fame. Even though I am not the main character of this world, I am the main character of my own life! I will live a modest life!’

<You are very good.>

As she answered, Lara relaxed a little and only then did she notice her surroundings. Where did Elina2 go? Elina2 had already been dragged into the old door a long time ago.

‘Gyaaaaah! What should I do!’

Lara felt a pang of conscience. She knew that her life was precious, so she couldn’t choose the death of a dog in place of the heroine, but she couldn’t just watch the heroine die. She went to the barred door and pondered over how to open it. Then she discovered that the crack in the door was slightly open. It seemed that he had been so busy dragging Elina2 that he hadn’t properly locked the lock.

As I passed my hand through the bars and gently pushed the latch, the door creaked open. My legs were shaking as I walked out the door.

I thought about running away hundreds of times, but I pulled myself together and took one step at a time. Lara stopped in front of the old door covered in blood and swallowed. The moment I grabbed the doorknob, I felt an eerie sensation.
