I Am A Masochist

Chapter 1. When I Came Back, My Home Was On Fire (1)

Translator: Aura

-Roar!-

The vicious flames devoured the last of the enemies.

None of the brave warriors who risked their lives on the battlefield dared to open their mouths in a hurry. They wouldn’t until the ashes dispersed into the air.

“Phew…”

Except for the black-haired woman. She sighed heavily after she burned the last monster left on the Earth.

Her name was ‘Lee Soyoon’.

She was a low-level soldier who suddenly rose to prominence one day and became a heroine who stood on the front lines.

When the end of the war finally came, the stunned soldiers turned to look at the woman. She simply looked up at the sky in silence and exclaimed,

“It’s over.”

-Hurrah!-

Only after the woman declared the end of the war did cheers arise everywhere.

The war was over.

While it was an emotional moment for everyone, it was even more special for her.

*System Message*

– Congratulations! You have completed the quest so you can return home!
– In thirty seconds, your soul will be transferred to your original planet.

30… 29…

‘I can finally go back!’

Lee Soyoon, or rather Nadia, screamed with joy inside and barely held back her tears.

Due to a sudden soul change, she fell into an unknown planet called Earth and had been forced to pretend to be a heroine for the past five years.

*System Message*

– You have been chosen as the new heroine.
– You will have to end the war in order to return to your original planet.

When the system message first appeared in front of her, she couldn’t believe her eyes.

To top it off, it seemed to have been transferred in the middle of a battle as there were monsters all around.

She, who didn’t even know how to fight, went through hellish days to be reborn as a war heroine…

But now the hard times are over.

‘I will return to my homeland! I will no longer remain on this unfamiliar planet called Earth!’

15… 14…

Nadia eventually shed tears as she watched the countdown decrease correctly.

‘Lee Soyoon, you should thank me.’

Nadia smiled proudly as people hugged and rejoiced with each other.

The real ‘Lee Soyoon’ was terrified of her fate to become a heroine. ‘Nadia’ was brought to this world in her place.

The real owner of the body said it was a huge burden and ran away, so Nadia had to deal with it. At the very least, Nadia would want Lee Soyoon to prostrate before her.

However, they would never meet face to face. As soon as she returned, Nadia would also have returned to her homeland.

3… 2… 1…

Soul transmigration will commence!

A dazzling light enveloped her soul.

Nadia looked down at Earth, a planet that seemed unfamiliar to her despite the five years she had lived there, and said a cold farewell,

‘It was nice to meet you all, but I hope we don’t meet again.’

She would be back home, a quiet and cozy place.

It was time to return to the Izettain Empire.
