Chapter 1 (1/2)

Tti-ring!

At the sound of the alarm, I took handled my phone from my pocket.

Updated UP <I’m a Golden Spoon, but I’m Running Away> has been updated.

Click View.

“Oh, it’s already 6 o’clock.”

<I’m running away, even though I have a gold spoon in my mouth.>

(translator note : a golden spoon refers to having a very privileged and wealthy life, basically like. . . filthy rich, and not having to work for it. . . ya know? Imagine it like. . . a baby being fed their baby food with an unnecessarily fancy, gold carrot spoon. )

The upload time for the new episode is 6 a.m. That means I stayed up all night working.

I rubbed the tight corners of my eyes.

‘Could I even manage to translate everything until Park’s departure?’

Honestly, it was impossible. It was not the amount that I could finish, even the few hours of sleep I got at night.

But…

“Are you giving up now? You should be thankful for writing as someone who has no academic background like you. Tell me any time if you’re unable to fulfill your responsibilities. There are tons of people waiting to replace you.”

I sent a burst of strength to the hand that tightly gripped my phone.

‘Let’s get back to work.’

I was about to come to the convenience store to buy coffee because I thought I would fall asleep. I picked up the cheapest canned coffee.

After paying the bill and leaving the convenience store, I pressed the “Right View” button.

Reading romance fantasy novels brought me happiness ( small amounts ) in my tiresome daily life.

It’s the only thing that brings me joy.

<I can’t live with these brothers and dads no matter how much of a privileged life this is! I need to run away from this house quickly!>

Seeing the heroine’s decision, I punched my stuffy chest.

“No, why would you leave when you have a handsome dad and brother in your privileged and wealthy life? So why would you want to leave that house?”

What about your beautiful (handsome) dad!

What about your (handsome) brothers!

You even were gifted a diamond mine today!

Why are you running away!

It was a well-written episode, although I didn’t agree with the main character. I left a comment at the end, after scrolling and reading the episode’s comments.

<FL, can I be that house’s daughter, instead of you? I could live well without running away. . .>

The number of likes went up at a rapid pace, as if everyone sympathized. Soon it became marked as a “best” comment.

It was at this moment that I was in a good mood, and smiled broadly.

Paaaaaaaang-

A tremendous intensity of light penetrated through the dreary dawn air and penetrated into my view.

I saw flashing headlights and a truck, about the size of a house.

No way, in this cramped alleyway? A truck?

It was even rushing at me at a tremendous speed.

So suddenly?

Gasp-!

Phew!

‘Yes. All of a sudden.’

That was my last thought.

‘To be exact, it’s the last thought of the <Living Me.>’

I gazed at my body with my arms crossed.

I didn’t even feel sick because I died in such a quick moment. I was still caught up in a daze.

I’m really dead?

Like this?

After all I’ve been through?

The futility surged in. It all felt pointless, useless.

It was then.

[Congratulations! You have a chance to reincarnate!]

I raised my head to the sudden throbbing voice.

Before I knew it, a boy was giggling at the firecrackers against the bright sky.

White hair soft as a cloud, and golden eyes.

A perfectly harmonious face, as if not human. Beauty out of this world, celestial, angelic even.

‘I guess I’m dead. I can see all this heavenly crap.’

[Excuse me? You have a chance to reincarnate. Will you please be a little more happy?]

What are you saying? A chance to reincarnate?

I pondered over his words in silence, and then gulped in a deep breath.

“Did I get hit by that famous fantasy truck?!”

A reincarnation truck.

A legendary truck that reincarnates you into a fantasy world if you get hit.

“I thought it was just a novel.”

[Surely you’ve seen a lot of novels! As expected, you’re the chosen one!]

“Huh?”

[I am a messenger of God, the lion of Aptanes.]

The messenger of God? You are an angel.

You know, the angels, demons, and the devil are the ones who talk to the dead.

Looking in detail, the boy had wings as big as beans on his back.

‘Angels are more frivolous and insignificant than I thought.’

[Aftanes created this world and referred to various things.]

I’m looking at God’s references.

The angel opened his arms as if he were saying something great.

[The most frequently referred to is a romance fantasy novel!]

What?

What are you referring to?

Go on, what do you mean, “Wow, woof”? His words were so bizarre, they felt like they were in another language.

‘I can’t believe you created the world by referring to romance novels!’

Are you out of your mind?

[What do you think? Isn’t it the world for you, the fantasy-romance addict reader? You want to be reborn, don’t you?]

“No, it’s a world created by a crazy god, who would want to go?”

Unconsciously, my turned serious.

The angel waved his arm, and puffed out a golden ball. He is a messenger of God, but rather than sacred, he is awe-inspiring.

[You just said you wanted to do it instead of Yeo-joo! (the FL)]

What?

[It was the best comment ever, and it gave a lot of advice to the main characters.]

“. . . .”

[Laughs to you, novel’s pro-beater!] A world where you refer to a suitable novel! How about it?]

As if it could not be clearer than this, the angel smiled refreshingly and winked.

[Please live and give me stars and comments!]

“. . . .”

Is God really concerned. . . about his angel’s stars and comments?

If I don’t live. . .you’ll get zero stars.

[Come on, if you’ve solved the question, you’ll be reincarnated, right?]

That doesn’t solve the question! On the contrary, my suspicions only grew bigger. This deal. . . is very suspicious.

But. . . I’m dead.

This was a gamble, yet I had nothing to lose, so I decided I would nod my head coolly.

‘Honestly? Yes.’

I’m a romance-fantasy reader.

A very heavy who reads hundreds of books a month.

‘Oh, that’s it, you can do it! Adjusting would be easy.’

There are so many stories as well.

‘What if you were reincarnated from the impoverished state?’

It’s not a waste, but it’s a problem.

What if she turns into a crooked villain?

Or the supporting actor who ends up being used?

[Why are you hesitating?] Didn’t you want to live in a fantasy world instead of here?]

“I don’t just want to live in a fantasy world.”

[Then?]

“I want to be reincarnated in a house with a handsome father and brother, in a wealthy and privileged life, as I said in the comments earlier!”

[*Laughs*, you’re tricky.]

Look at this. Before I changed it, I’m sure I was going to get reincarnated into something weird.

“It’s the basis of romance-fantasy novels.”

[Well, that’s good. You will have a handsome dad and a brother, and I will make you wealthy.]

“And the whole family has to die with me.”

[Hmm…. that’s not the best romance-fantasy I’ve ever read. I didn’t like the story at first… ]

“Why not! Lady Be**”

[Well, like the novel, if you want to start with the whole family dying…]

“No, I’m sorry. That was a slip of the tongue. Please do a good job. . .”

A quick transition is a shortcut to a comfortable life.

[So, that’s enough? You’re reincarnating, right?]

Let’s go to the handsome dad and brother.

That’s exactly what I want.

“Well, but most of the romance-fantasy heroines have special abilities, but they’re also smart.”

[……There are many things you really want.]

I could hear the angel muttering something small as he turned his head.

“Huh?”

[Don’t worry. I’m going to give you a special reincarnation, but I’ll also give you some skills.]

The angel smiled sweetly, but still looks as if he was struggling.

I feel like I’ve sinned, but. . .

‘A reincarnation with a handsome father and a brother and a special ability.’

At this point, it’s like a reward for my hard work, in my dreadful life.

Yeah, I didn’t live a good life, and I’ve had a lot of trouble.

But… finally, the day has come!

“Okay, then. I’ll reincarnate.”
