Chapter 99: Of Course, the Role of [Romeo] is Baek Taeyang

Of Course, the Role of [Romeo] is Baek Taeyang

"Right now! I need to turn this party venue into a gate! Let's go! Into the classic masterpiece [Romeo and Juliet]!"

Rip—

As soon as the chubby man tore the oversized plan covering the table, the surroundings began to darken. This was the precursor to a gate forming, and this time, it was going to be an exceptionally large one with a scale like no other. He planned to infuse it with such powerful energy that required extensive preparation even an Opener couldn't intervene.

"Normally, just tearing the plan would be enough…"

He'd learned exactly why the previous gate failed, so he wasn't taking any chances. From the start, he fixed the gate's role completely, ensuring it couldn't be altered in any way. He even locked the ending so that only Minsoo could reach it.

"This flawless plan allows no room for error. Moreover, I included the condition that no third party could directly or indirectly interfere with Romeo and Juliet. No matter what Baek Taeyang does, he won't be able to meddle with the gate."

The plan to perfectly pair Minsoo and Melanie was being realized right here.

"Hahaha! Come forth! My special gate! Swallow everything up!" He began creating the gate in earnest, spreading his arms wide like a maniac. The surroundings grew darker. The torn plan started merging, transforming into a hole resembling a black hole. It began to expand, concentrating overwhelming power as it followed the author's grandiose intentions.

Ding!

"Huh?"

A message window caught him attention.

———————————S-Rank Gate Classic Masterpiece [Romeo and Juliet] cannot be implemented.

To see detailed reasons, click [Next].

[Next]———————————

"Hmm…? What kind of nonsense is this?"

As the writer, nothing should be impossible. If I write it, the story goes that way.

Despite being bewildered by the unprecedented situation, he couldn't resist his curiosity and clicked [Next].

"The story follows the author's direction, so what's this…" he mumbled, unable to suppress his usual grumbling.

———————————To implement the S-Class Gate Classic Masterpiece [Romeo and Juliet], the following conditions must be met:

Top Priority Condition One: The ending must be fixed.

Top Priority Condition Two: All roles from the classic masterpiece [Romeo and Juliet] must be assigned to the characters as per the writer's choice.

Top Priority Condition Three: Those playing the roles of [Romeo] and [Juliet] must not be influenced by any third party.

Currently, there is an issue with the second top priority condition, preventing the gate from being implemented properly.

Melanie Ariel, assigned the role of [Juliet], possesses the nobility and qualities perfectly suitable for the role. In contrast, Kim Minsoo's recent behavior and current appearance disqualify him from effectively portraying [Romeo].

The classic masterpiece [Romeo and Juliet] is a highly popular work, even made into films. Consequently, the standards for appearance and dignity are high, making it difficult for Kim Minsoo to play the role of [Romeo]. Additionally, since [Romeo and Juliet] involves many confrontations, a high level of combat ability is required. Given Kim Minsoo's recent record, where he hasn't secured a single victory, it seems unlikely he could reach the ending.

The recommended role for Kim Minsoo is not [Romeo] but [Paris]. [Paris] is the character who loses in the final duel with [Romeo] and is [Juliet]'s fiancé. This is similar to Kim Minsoo, who lost So Yoomin and was defeated by Baek Taeyang. If Kim Minsoo is assigned the role of [Paris], the gate can be created immediately. Do you agree?———————————

"What?" The chubby man's beady eyes popped wide like buttons. "What am I reading?" He rubbed his eyes and stretched, thinking it was a mistake. But the message remained unchanged, proving it was real.

"Minsoo, the protagonist of this novel, can’t be the protagonist in the story I'm creating within it?"

"Ridiculous. As the writer, shouldn’t he be able to do whatever he wanted? If he wrote it, shouldn’t it all just happen?"

"That's why I got this power… What the…! So if the handsome Minsoo plays Paris, then who's Romeo?!" He yelled at the air, and the message window responded.

———————————Of course, the role of [Romeo] is Baek Taeyang.———————————

"Grrrr…!!! Do you think I'll let Baek Taeyang and Melanie end up together? Absolutely not!!! No way! I'll find a way for my cute Minsoo to be Romeo!"

The message window stayed silent this time. Fuming, he paced the room, trying to calm down. Five minutes later, with teary-eyed, he made a reluctant choice.

"Then… I'll scrap this gate…"

———————————According to the author's will, the classic masterpiece [Romeo and Juliet] gate will be discarded. We look forward to your next, more impressive gate.———————————

Giving up on creating the gate was the only option. He couldn't think of any way to wrestle the [Romeo] role from Baek Taeyang. He even considered ditching the top priority conditions, letting Baek Taeyang play [Romeo], and having Minsoo snatch it later.

"Minsoo is too weak right now…"

But there was no way Minsoo could defeat Baek Taeyang in the role of [Romeo]. Minsoo had already lost to Baek Taeyang as [Byeon Satto] when he was playing [Lee Mongryong]. If he couldn’t win as the protagonist against a supporting character, how could he win now?

"Should I gather some hidden pieces and boost him… But that might mean I can't write… What… what should I do…"

Amidst endless worries, the chubby man could only reach one clear conclusion.

"Since Minsoo is knocked out, the party should end too."

That was the only kindness he could extend to Minsoo. His bitter muttering filled the large room. There was no more Devil Chaos Ultra King.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Inside the limousine, there I was, trying to placate a fuming Melanie.

"I'm really disappointed. How could you just leave me alone and have fun until the party ended?!"

"But the party ended early. Why are you blaming me? I was going to come to you as soon as I was done."

"Still! No matter what! Shouldn't you have checked on me at least once? I was so bored being stuck in a corner!"

"And I'm here apologizing profusely now…"

"That sounded like an excuse! You're making excuses!"

"I'm really, deeply sorry."

The party ended abruptly. The host claimed some urgent matter, using a ridiculous reason to end the party not long after Kim Minsoo fainted. Great timing.

Does that mean there's a deep connection between Kim Minsoo and the Noble side? Maybe the they aren't just supporting him but also getting something out of it. What use could that idiot possibly be to them? I'll need to look into this later. For now, the priority is to calm Melanie.

She was practically vibrating with anger, arms crossed and head turned away, refusing to even look at me.

"Apologize properly! Even if you didn't come with me, you should have at least pretended since you were there as my bodyguard! You just… left me there…! Were you enjoying it when those girls were… rubbing their chests on you?!"

"I didn't want to do that either, but I had no choice because of Minsoo. That guy is such a womanizer… The only way to get close to him was to do that. Do you really think I enjoy women rubbing their chests on me?"

Actually, I did. Especially burying my face in Soojin's large breasts was the best.

"It was because of Kim Minsoo…?"

Fortunately, throwing Minsoo under the bus was always an effective strategy. He was good for something after all.

"Yeah, just like you said, why would I be with other women when I have you? Plus, I was your bodyguard… But Minsoo kept clinging to me, saying he couldn't seduce women without me."

Once you catch the flow, you have to ride it to the end. I knew this was my only chance to calm Melanie down, so I passionately criticized Minsoo and stressed my own innocence and helplessness.

"I understand, but I still don't like it. Next time, if a similar situation happens, please don't do this."

"Of course."

Melanie said this while fiddling with her bun and lowering her head in embarrassment. Her expression of ‘What did I just say?' was adorable. While I smiled at her, she noticed my gaze and glared at me sharply.

"You don't think my anger is completely gone just because the mood is a bit better, do you?"

"No, no…"

She was more difficult than I thought. Her tone suggested she was about to ask for a favor.

"Tomorrow is the day your break ends, right?"

"Yeah…?"

I have a bad feeling about this…

"Then let's go to the academy together tomorrow."

"Alright…"

Avoiding Yoomin and Soojin's eyes while going to the academy with Melanie? This is going to be tough. I'm already feeling overwhelmed.
