I am your true partner. I am Frankenstein! The creator who has inherited the name of my Father, a god, and your everything!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Partner? Husband, what’s a partner?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lia tilted her head and looked at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s similar to ‘husband.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you’re already my husband, aren’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I mean, a partner is someone you love and spend your whole life with.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does my husband love me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? What are you saying all of a sudden?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you said ‘partner’ and ‘husband’ are similar.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her endless questions made my head throb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was I supposed to do with this innocent girl?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her questions continued, Frankenstein’s expression grew increasingly grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally opened his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this the effect of the mark? To think you’ve been bewitched by a mere insect. I shall open your eyes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless magic circles appeared in the air, glowing brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surge of powerful mana filled the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From those magic circles, a downpour of magical attacks began to rain upon us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I created a massive shield and hid behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tremendous impact reverberated through the shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You might think it strange for Frankenstein’s monster to use magic—but the truth was, he was a being created by assembling only the most superior and beautiful traits of various creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Transcendent physical ability, exceptional intelligence, rapid learning…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that, the Monster had mastered all the secret magic techniques of the renowned magical family, the Frankenstein Family, the moment it was born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering Lia’s own learning ability, it wasn’t hard to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the barrage of magic finally subsided, I summoned my sword and gripped it tightly, preparing to fight properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the bombardment ended, I began my counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A giant hand burst through the black shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve got to be kidding me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he had hidden my vision with the magic rain and used that time to break through my defense?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature tried to wrench the shield from my grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I instantly dissolved the shield into darkness and thrust the sword in my other hand toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jet-black blade pierced through his abdomen and emerged from his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he didn’t seem to feel pain—if anything, he pressed forward, driving the sword deeper himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting caught by that hand would be dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I released my sword and jumped back to widen the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared blankly at the sword stuck in his belly, then reached toward it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, I transformed the sword into spikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thorns burst out from the embedded blade, impaling his body from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, his movement stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not missing my chance, I summoned a war hammer and charged at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sneered coldly at my approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Petty tricks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he grasped the transformed sword with his hand, the blade began to melt in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through his tattered clothes, I could see the glimmering jewels embedded in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he really had gathered all the Hearts already?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the game Become a Hero, there were two versions of Frankenstein.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weakened Frankenstein, who hadn’t collected the Hearts, and the complete Frankenstein, who had regained his full power by collecting all of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weakened version used superior physical ability and magic as his weapons, but once he became complete, his patterns expanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That included the Frankenstein Family’s secret spells—Disassembly and Combination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was exactly as the names suggested: deconstructing and merging objects to recreate them anew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuous damage attacks through disassembly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Status attacks that prevented recovery by alternating between disassembly and combination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And finally, the ability to recreate matter or life itself into weapons or allies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly, one of the most troublesome bosses—capable of inflicting every kind of status ailment imaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He disassembled my sword and combined it with his own fallen flesh, creating a blade of writhing flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stomped the ground and lunged at me, swinging the grotesque weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clean, unhesitating downward slash—no wasted movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn’t a single opening to exploit in his swing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I formed a new sword and met his strike head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our swords clashed dozens of times midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each collision sent tremors through my entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘At this rate, I’ll be overpowered.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I deflected his sword and drew upon the power of the demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mana hadn’t fully recovered yet, but aside from the 【Dark Relic】, I could probably use one more authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Authority of 【Mighty Strength】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An immense power flooded my body, and the sword in my hand felt as light as a feather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing danger, Frankenstein hastily layered multiple defensive spells around himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asura Divine Art — Immortal’s Guiding Finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kwa-ga-ga-ga-gang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fierce shockwave erupted, my sword piercing through his layered defenses and cutting into his flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guaaaaaahhhh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening scream tore from his throat, shaking the air and stirring up a massive cloud of dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I swung my sword, dispersing the haze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, his figure emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frankenstein’s appearance was wretched—half of his body blown away, barely managing to stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lia, who had been watching the battle in a trance, ran up to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Husband, you’re amazing! You defeated the monster!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey—why would you say that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why? Was I not supposed to?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lines like ‘Did we beat it?’ are cursed words—they can bring even dying enemies back to life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lia tilted her head in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, of course she wouldn’t get modern-world memes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boss fight had ended more easily than expected, but this outcome actually made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Become a Hero, I had cleared this boss dozens of times. For me—armed with far better stats and broken skills—to lose to him would’ve been stranger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I drove my sword into the chest of the thing that was crawling on the floor like a worm with half its body blown away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now this tedious place and I are done with each other.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I infused the blade with the Flames of Gehenna to finish it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames that ran along the blade swallowed Frankenstein in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He burned in the blaze and muttered something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why…… why…….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you bitter about defeat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whywhywhywhywhywhy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t seem to hear me; his gaze shifted toward Lia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even while he was burning, he didn’t tear his eyes away from her—it was chilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He vomited rage at Lia as if wailing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why—why would you, my only confidante, call me a monster!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that, Lia flinched and trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hic—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me, the same, you…… I thought you would understand me! The unprovoked hostility and hate, the endless despair and loneliness—I thought you would understand……!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears welled in his flaming eyes and were erased by the Flames of Gehenna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I drove the sword even deeper into his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t spout nonsense—who do you expect to understand your past and misery? That child who had only just opened her eyes to the world?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shut up……! You know nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What don’t I know? You’re just resentful that only you were miserable, aren’t you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as his body burned, he shifted and glared at me as if he would kill me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I only wanted to escape that, that damned loneliness!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you kidnapped countless people and made them into monsters, claiming them as family? You’re nothing but a hideous monster who killed people under the pretense of misery.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to say something to my words, but he could no longer speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flames of Gehenna had devoured his vocal cords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was reduced to a mangled, bestial roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Krrrraaaaaah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frankenstein’s final death-throes echoed through the blazing mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the ground began to shake violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the—?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This event hadn’t happened in the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the game, when Frankenstein was defeated, he died quietly without any last spasms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dungeon should have cleared right then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of clearing, what was that endless horde of monsters?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this be his last desperate thrash?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To stop it, I had to annihilate him completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I intended to pour even more mana into the sword to obliterate him entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kkeeeeek!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a monster flew at me like a slingshot and latched onto me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of all times to cling to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tried to tear the creature off my face, but it clung stubbornly, blocking my vision and harassing me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the swarming monsters shoved me aside and devoured Frankenstein’s dying body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This felt like a boss entering phase two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the monsters began acting strangely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They started devouring the ones beside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each time they ate one another, they grew bigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it—phase two or not, I didn’t want any more variables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sensed it instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had to stop that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lia! Stop those monsters!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punching Lia did earlier would probably help against those small fry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lia didn’t answer my call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lia! This is urgent—come on—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned to find Lia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lia……?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lia, who had been right behind me moments before, was nowhere to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if she had never existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, those monsters had begun eating each other and winnowing their numbers down until only one remained, growing huge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive body patched together with bloody flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its skin bubbled as if boiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless human faces began to burst out from every part of its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I grimaced at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The many faces filling its body were contorted as if they were undergoing terrible torture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t this screwed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kkeeeeek!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the faces embedded in the massive body screamed in unison, the noise assaulting my ears and making me instinctively clamp my hands over them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature’s body writhed, inflating and shrinking repeatedly as a new form took shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uuuhhhhh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure that had once looked like a corpse-like but handsome man had degenerated into something no different from the other grotesques patched with many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ugly, revolting—an image that provoked disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his closed eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were now filled with countless pupils that moved independently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The many pupils fixed on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I swallowed at the transformed figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was on par with me—or beyond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had his rank risen this suddenly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frankenstein spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is because of you.
