Guys i am so stupid i am sorry but i dont understand so why was the game brought to life a...

She was the one to match penelope's soul bcs real pene perished due to repeated dead ends. they searched everywhere for a character that matches Penelope's until they got her and trapped her in that game, means she won't get out any soon + bcs the world will "stop" if penelope didn't exist to defeat those creepy ppl, all that happened bs of the forbidden spell vinter casted, well baby at least he got to his senses and regretted what he did, no wonder he was so soft with her in this lifetime despite her identity.

It was never really a game. In Korea, she was actually a fragment of the real Penelopes soul

I understand, thank you so much!!! <333

Ahhhh okay damnnnnn didnt expect that thank you <333

well technically, she IS the real penelope, it's just that after multiple loses and deaths, her soul was broken off to fragments and wandered off (which is why korean penelope has the same family dynamic as the penelope in game).

(LOTS AND I MEAN A LOT OF SPOILERS)







Ok so from what I understand. This is like a separate dimension. In the beginning the Leila (or the ‘bad mage’s’ who have the power of mind control and manipulation. And instead of using mana like actual mages they use life force. And to prolong their life they use the power of mages and take their life force. After reading some will they can also take the life force of normal people but it’s just less effective.) were in a battle with actual mages and humankind and got sealed in that mirror. (I think the reason all the actual mages got killed off other than being a ‘threat’ to normal humans and going against religion is because they were the only way that the Leila were able to live and keep hurting people because without them they would have very short lives and die off.) ok so back to the mirror they got sealed right and over time they ended up breaking it and a leila escaped. The leila took many forms and eventually settled on Ivonne. She was the perfect form to essentially destroy the world. So she brainwashed everyone married the crown prince and got the golden dragon fang which grants immortality. Then she used the mirror of truth (the thing the race was sealed in) to break the seal and release all the other leila. Then essentially all of mankind became food for them.

Now to Penelope. Because her bloodline is unknown she nor everyone else knew she was a descendent of ancient mages. She was adopted off the street as a replacement for Ivonne after she went missing when she was a child. She lost her mother who was a traveling merchant at 12 and was living on the streets. When she is around 17 siyeon (the younger woman she was in the normal world) gets transmigrated into her body and she is trapped in a ‘romance game’

Ok back to the story. So essentially they the Leila kill off Penelope first because of her descendants of ancient mages she has the natural affinity to pick out a leila from a normal person. She will naturally feel uneasy or on edge around one. The leila ends the world yada yada and the only person who is left fighting is winter (or vinter in the most recent chapter) and he sacrificed his soul to make the world in a constant time loop until there is a different outcome. The time loop extends for all eternity and (not to much information I could find on this but I’ll give it my best shot truly based off assumptions. This info will probably change but I’m making do with the information I have) Penelope’s soul breaks down and becomes nothing but dust. The time loop stops until her soul is restored because she is the only person who can stop the leila. She is the only person resistant to the brainwashing. (I think because she is such a big piece of the puzzle that was the reason why her soul was the one to be destroyed. Also probably because she wasn’t strong enough to disobey the brainwashing even though she had the ancient mage blood so that just took a toll on her soul.)

Ok so before the explains why she is in the game I think I need to touch base on the system. From what I know the system came to be from the ancient mages. (Yk like from the map and stuff that’s the only way I can to this conclusion) and I think the system became fully integrated into the time loops after the forbidden spell’ and the game was just the bridge to the fragmented soul of Penelope that went to different dimensions. So the reason why siyeon (pre game Penelope) was sucked into the game is because she is a fragment of Penelope’s soul. She is Penelope. And I think they draw a lot of parallels between the dimensions because their lives were kind of similar.

So the reason Penelope can use the system, the maps, and why she’s even in the game is because she is the protagonist with the ancient mage blood.


So yeah thanks for listening to my TEDtalk see yall next week.

Oh and I forgot to mention the reason why siyeon or Penelope didn’t know any of this is because the original Penelope didn’t know. The only way they found out was because she went to the mirror of truth. Which essentially told her the truth but is also a bridge to the system and the ancient mages power. (This is just a theory do not hold me to this but I’m pretty sure I’m correct)

WAIT OMG THATS SO SMART I DIDNT EVEN THINK OF THAT WTF

Thank you all so much for explaining things
