Chapter 1

Have you ever heard of the Princess of Black Flames?

She's a humanoid monster that emerges from the deep darkness beyond the gate.

She's as agile as a cat and has skin as pale as a vampire.

I've heard that she has a mysterious charm that you can't forget once you see her. A hunter who was captivated by her appearance stood there foolishly and ended up having his eyeball pierced by the tip of her umbrella.

If you encounter her, run away.

─If you can dodge her black flames, that is.

It was late summer, and the long, relentless rainy season had finally come to an end.

While walking down the street, Eunha couldn't help but look at the paper in her hand once again.
