Chapter 23
My laughter dissolved into sobbing as I clutched his severed head.
Every ounce of suppressed grief and exhaustion poured out of me.
I felt like a dying traveler in the desert who had finally stumbled upon an oasis.
Julian was my salvation.
Yes, I’m Alice.
Five years ago, I died in a car crash and woke up in a horror dungeon called Blissful Manor.
That was where I met them.
I found Julian, the Headless Boss, along with Meg and my parents, Eleanor and Bernard.
We became a real family.
To help me clear the game, they sacrificed their Hearts of Bliss.
They lost their memories and were scattered to other dungeons.
When I returned to the lobby, the apex guild recruited me aggressively.
I spent the next five years grinding through dungeons just to find them again.
But I never did.
At least, not until now.
At first, things were good with the guild.
I thought they were my friends.
Then the four bonded items my family gave me went dormant.
The guild turned on me immediately.
Their greed knew no bounds.
They refused to believe the items were dormant. They accused me of hoarding power.
They wanted a free carry and thought I was holding out on them.
I told them I didn’t need the items.

I promised my skills alone were enough to get us all out alive.
It didn’t matter.
They demanded I hand the items over.
I refused and left the guild.
The next day, the four major guilds issued a joint bounty on my head.
