Although “Never open” was written on the jar, it seemed like there was no intention to secure it tightly as the lid easily opened with a slight force.

“There’s nothing inside……?”

She stuck her hand inside, stirred, inverted and shook, but the jar was empty.

It was then.

Ring!

With a crisp chime, a square window appeared in front of her.

“Argh!”

Pandora gasped, falling backwards from her squatting position and landing on her behind.

“This, this is……!”

“Pandora, what happened, are you okay?”

The man who had heard her screams rushed over and scooped her up in a quick hug, but Pandora was too preoccupied with the square window blocking her view to answer.

“What is this……! I can’t see a thing……!

She thought she could make out some kind of writing, but there was too much glare.

Pandora squeezed the man’s shoulder and glared at the square window.

“Pandora. No. We’ll find the painting later, but for now, go to bed.”

“Wait, wait, wait.”

“I think you’re hurt, you shouldn’t keep pushing yourself.”

“No, it’s not that……. Doctor, do you see this?”

“What?”

“This light here…….”

Can’t anyone else see it?

She reached out and waved her hand at the square window of white, hazy light in front of her. Her tiny palm slipped through without touching the window.

Pandora rubbed her eyes and stared at the window again, then blinked away her tears, then looked again, then moved her eyes up and down, left and right, then looked again.

‘Ugh!’

What an inflexible game. Even if Pandora is half blind, can you please make an exception for this?

Pandora mused on ?Villain’s Way of Love> and the company behind the game, Enchanted Love, closing her eyes and leaning into the man.

“Let’s go to your room.”

She was going to ignore whatever it was that came out of the jar.

Then, as if reading Pandora’s mind, the square window hastily dimmed the light and adjusted the font size.

At the same time, some unknown force refreshed Pandora’s eyes a little.

‘Oh?’

Pandora opened her eyes and finally read the screen.

? You have opened the sealed Pandora’s Jar. An ominous aura emanates from the Jar. The Six Plagues leap out and scatter to the four corners of the world.

The jar recognizes you. The jar recognizes you as ‘The Recipient of all Gifts’.

The jar grants you a glimpse into the World of the Gods.

Do you wish to view the information?

1. ?. [T/N: This is Yes written in Korean]

2. Yes. [T/N: This is Yes written in English lol]

The choices…… are terribly biased.

‘What’s with the Six Plagues, and all the gifts.’

All she’s been given is this damn time loop and a weak body……!

Pandora pressed number one as she climbed the stairs in the man’s arms.

The man glanced down at her as she jabbed her finger in the air, but Pandora didn’t care what anyone else thought.

For there was something new in the square window above.

Reaching the room, the man set Pandora down on the bed. He lingered for a moment, telling her to get some rest, and then he was gone.

Pandora reached for his hand, but he was faster. This time she could clearly hear his distant footsteps.

‘I haven’t figured out who he is yet.’

Pandora fumbled with her hand and stared at the square window.

In the center of the window was a flat, elongated, rectangular search bar, and a large typewriter appeared beneath her hand.

Pandora gingerly tapped on the typewriter. Round buttons with letters on them clicked up and down. As she pressed them, letters appeared in the search bar.

“Ohhh……!”

Pandora lifted her finger in admiration.

At the top of the search bar, in the far left corner, was a date and time: not June 9, nor the current time.

? February 11th. 1:47 AM. Seoul.

“This is…….”

? February 11. 2:10 AM. Seoul.

? February 11. 3:15 am. Seoul.

Time passed unusually quickly.

The jar had clearly said that Pandora was entitled to a glimpse of the World of the Gods.

World of the Gods.

The world of those who created ?Villain’s Way of Love> and molded Pandora.

February 11th. 4:27 am. Seoul.

So this…… must be the clock of the gods.

Pandora watched it curiously, then typed ?Villain’s Law of Love> into the search bar.

???????? ?? ???

June 9, the 71st, dawned.

Pandora had learned quite a bit over the course of the day yesterday.

The first episode of ?Villain’s Law of Love? begins with the redheaded heroine, Vivian, being betrayed by her best friend and labeled a “villainess”. Also, if users want to easily increase the favorability of the male lead characters, they have to pay… in other words, they have to make ‘in-app purchases’.

Pandora only appears once in ?How to Love a Villain? between episodes 14 and 15.

“So that’s why.”

The reason why Pandora’s life can’t move forward.

Other NPC characters have lived their lives in the passage of time, popping up from episode to episode.

Pandora, however, was created solely for the museum’s event and could not blend into the flow.

“Good morning, Miss Pandora.”

At the same time, the doctor appeared. Pandora rubbed her sleepy eyes and glared at the doctor.

Was this the quack doctor from yesterday? Or the real one?

Her eyes cleared as she looked at the square window, only to return to their original state when she looked elsewhere. Regrettably.

‘No. I think it’s just my mood that’s making it worse, because it’s going from good to bad again.’

“Do you have any pain in your eyes?”

The doctor asked.

“Is your vision any blurrier than it was yesterday?”

“I don’t know…….”

Her heart sank. Was the real doctor back?

She thought she’d changed something, that she’d made a difference, but it was all for naught.

It couldn’t be this futile.

Before Pandora could answer, she closed her mouth and rubbed her eyes.

“What’s wrong, does your eye hurt?”

“!”

It’s the quack.

Pandora swung her hand in the direction of the sound. Her fingers caught on a hard, muscled arm.

The man didn’t bat Pandora’s hand away in displeasure or jerk back to avoid her.

He was still. Just a little startled and stiff.

Pandora ran her fingertips up the man’s body like a piano.

She could feel his large body flinch through her fingers.

“Miss Pandora.”

The man grabbed both of Pandora’s wrists, stopping her movement.

The palms around her wrists were soft and hot.

“It’s because I can’t see.”

Pandora let her hands slip from his hands and trace over his straightened collarbone, shoulders, and neck to his face.

She felt his breath on her fingertips.

‘I’ll have to memorize this face, so I don’t get any more confused.’

Besides, she never know.

If it changed once, there’s no reason it can’t change twice or thrice.

It’s hard not to get confused, even if it’s her, when she can’t see and someone new keeps showing up who isn’t the doctor or the quack.

“You can’t see …… at all?”

The man asked in a low voice.

Pandora nodded shamelessly, her vision still as good as ever, but she could only see a little bit of the center and everything else was blurred.

Pandora’s fingertips stroked the man’s chin and cheeks and touched his glasses. Pandora carefully removed the man’s glasses and set them aside, then raised her hand again.

She stroked his eyelids, his straight browbone, and the bridge of his nose. Then the tip of his nose, then the middle, then his lips.

She didn’t need to look at them to know how beautifully shaped they were, full and plump.

Pandora’s fingertips lingered a moment longer on his lips, and the man’s breathing stopped as he remained still. His thick throat rumbled loudly.

Pandora let out a small laugh.

“Doctor. I didn’t realize you were so beautiful.”

He had a sculpted face.

Pretty purple eyes.

She wished she had clearer eyes, so she could study him closely and capture him on canvas.

Pandora felt his skin heat up a little under her hand.

Was he getting a fever?

Strangely, this man was always as warm as a stove whenever she touched him.

‘His lips were hot too.’

Pandora mused, enjoying his temperature.

‘If I reveal that I know he’s not a doctor…… he might try to run away.’

She doesn’t like that.

She’s never had someone so close to her before.

No one had ever been so close to her, so concerned about her condition, without rushing her through her day.

Anna, the maid, had sent Pandora to the exhibition in a carriage when her leg was too injured to stand.

‘Game characters don’t have human rights!’

Pandora suddenly became so frustrated that she tensed her hand and accidentally pinched the man’s cheek.

“Ah.”

“Oops, sorry.”

She quickly pulled her hand away, and suddenly wondered.

This guy is ‘fake’, it’s like there’s a glitch in the game, so maybe……he can even remember the last ‘day’, unlike the real doctor?

Pandora hastily grabbed him by the collar before he could leave the medicine behind.

“Doctor. Do you think Anna found my cat painting?”

Here, whether he says yes, no, or he’s not sure, he will have a memory.

But the man defied Pandora’s expectations.

“What……? The cat drawing?”

He asked with a blank look on his face.
