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.

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.
