Especially if his stupid name suited his stupid face.

As Park Suho, he was pretty good-looking.

But as Zirkus Huxford...

<"You look like a sheepshead fish, don't you?">

It was the foul-mouthed System again.

"A what?"

The words on the Window disappeared and were replaced by the picture of an ugly fish.

[A fish with human teeth?]

It was a cursed image.

"Are you saying I look like that?"

<"You could pass off as twins! Kekeke!">

"Show me your face and I'll tell you what fish you resemble!"

<"Pfft! I'm attractive, though?">

"I need proof."

<"I'm not stupid~">

"Got you," Zirkus said, smirking. "You're human. Or, at least, you have a physical body that resembles humans."

<"...">

"Aigoo. Cat got your tongue?"

<"Since you already discovered one of my secrets, then let me share another one.">

"Sure. I don't think I'd get surprised at this rate."

<"I lied earlier.">

"About what?"

<"The reward for saving this world isn't knowing how your favorite manga ends.">

"Huh...?"

<"I only said that to stop you from making an enemy of Enzo Fenton.">

Now the System sounded defensive.

Zirkus would have retorted already, but he was too heartbroken to even open his mouth. The ending of his favorite manga was the only regret he left in his previous world. And now this bastard of a System was saying it lied to him?

[I was played...]

His knees buckled and, the next thing he knew, he was already sitting on the floor with his head hanging low.

<"Hey, sheepshead– I mean, Zirkus Huxford. Cheer up!">

"I don't care anymore."

<???>

"I already died once, so what if I died again?" Zirkus said, his back hitting the floor weakly. "I decided to do nothing and just wait for this world to end."


***

A WEEK.

It had been a week since Zirkus transmigrated inside the novel The Legendary Fisher.

He tried to escape the dormitory and leave the academy without permission, but he was caught by Swordsmen who guarded the gates.

Needless to say, he wasn't strong or smart enough to escape without getting caught.

[And I was scolded until my ears almost fell off.]

Hence, he just locked himself up in his room.
