Nux Leander feared women.
Being tortured by that crazy woman was a horrifying experience. However, that did not stop him from living his lifeless life.
He tried to fight his fear and talk to women, however, every time he sees a woman, an overwhelming fear takes over his body and he stops moving.
Even if a woman came out of her way to compliment him for how cute he was, he would run away before she could even say a word.
Nux even lost a few jobs because he ran away after seeing a female customer, or he was scared of a female co-worker.
In a world where 40% of the humans were women, Nux was living a very hard life.
However, he still somehow managed to live.
This continued for 6 years, and then, one day few men knocked in front of Nux's house's door.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
Nux opened the door and a scar-faced man, accompanied by 2 other men entered.
"W-What can I help you with?" Nux questioned in panic.
These people looked overbearing.
"So is he the one? Heh. What a lucky bastard." A man following the scar-faced man, Akhil, muttered.
"Lucky indeed. I wish I could be in his place." Another man nodded.
"Alright you two, shut up." The scar-faced man instructed.
He then turned to Nux and questioned.
"N-Nux L-Leander, s-sir…"
"Hahaha~ What a pussy!" Akhil laughed out loud.
"I told you to shut the fuck up!" the Scar-Faced man turned around and glared at Akhil.
"S-Sorry sir" Akhil lowered his head in fear.
"So Nux, I am here to tell you that you have caught Viscount Felberta's eyes and she wants you as her boy toy, are you willing?" The scar-faced man questioned.
The two men behind him showed clear signs of jealousy, actually, even the scar-faced man felt jealous, however, he was more 'professional' and didn't show it on his face.
"I am asking, are you willing to be her boy toy?" The scar-faced man repeated his question.
Actually, according to him, this question was only a formality, even though he just took him here, once he sees Viscount Felberta's face, the boy will agree.
Being Viscount Felberta's boy toy and even getting paid for it, only a fool will reject such a deal.
However, Nux's answer was different from his expectation.
"I said NO!" Nux repeated.
"Are you sure? Dude, have ever seen Viscoun-"
"I SAID NO!!" Nux shouted and tried pushing the scar-faced man.
The scar-faced man frowned.
He didn't expect this answer and he defiantly didn't expect such a strong denial from someone as weak as Nux.
However, no matter what, he was still a thug, when he saw Nux rushing up to him, trying to push him away, his body acted on reflex and,
He punched Nux's face.
Nux's body fell to the floor, and the scar-faced man stepped on his back and questioned.
"Are you sure you want to oppose me?"
"I SAID NO!!" Nux shouted.
The scar-faced man's face twitched and a vein popped out on his head.
"Beat him up!" He ordered.
"Hahaha! I was waiting for this order! This idiot dared to reject such an offer? There must be a screw loose in his head, let me fix it for him!" Akhil laughed as he rushed towards Nux and kicked his head.
The three men then started beating Nux, however, Nux was adamant, and rejected every time they asked him to rethink his answer.
The three men assaulted Nux till he 'lost his consciousness'.
"We will return tomorrow, I hope you will have a better answer tomorrow." The scar-faced man muttered as he walked out of the house.
"Tsk! Now we would have to use a healing potion on him! What a waste!" Akhil snorted.
"I still don't understand why he is rejecting us!"
"That Bastard! Rejecting someone like Viscount Felberta! I wish all the handsome people die a painful death!" Akhil cursed.
As the three of them left, Nux's body lay on the floor.
Then like in a certain game where when the main character died, the screen zooms out, a similar thing happened with Nux, who was watching everything.
Soon, everything around him turned black before,
With a clank sound, everything broke down as if it was a mirror and Nux woke up.
Nux then looked around and realized that the memory has ended.
'My predecessor died after being beaten by those thugs.'
He then looked around and saw that he was still in his room, on his bed.
On top of his chest, Thyra was sleeping.
A woman was sleeping on his chest...
A woman was so close to him...
Nux glanced at Thyra and felt something...
'Ah, she's so cute…' Nux thought inwardly.
A small smile then appeared on his face as he patted her head.
His predecessor might have feared women, but he did not.
These memories did not affect him.
As mentioned before, it was like he saw a movie.
He knows everything about the 'Character' and knows how he feels, however, he does not feel the same thing the character does.
'To think he accepted being beaten to death rather than going to the Viscount, who was a woman.' Nux thought inwardly and sighed.
'You lived a tough life… even tougher than my past life…'
Then, his eyes turned cold,
"Don't worry, I will get your revenge."
"mm? Whose revenge?" Suddenly Thyra, who was sleeping on his chest opened her eyes and questioned sleepily.
"Good morning, my cute assassin~"
"Good morning…" Thyra rubbed her eyes, she then looked around and quickly figured out her situation. She was sleeping on top of Nux, naked!
Nux was naked as well!
Thyra widened her eyes, she quickly remembered what happened last night and her face turned red.
However, before Nux could enjoy her reaction, he heard Edda's voice in his mind.
'Nux, Nux, this is important.
You have to know this.'
