Premonition 5

Strictly speaking, Han Seoyeon is not a player.

She just obtained abilities similar to a player.

Dungeons are places created for players.

And of course, games have strategy guides.

Han Seoyeon doesn’t know this dungeon well.

The same goes for the protagonist of the original work.

In the original work, the protagonist finding this dungeon was purely coincidental.

The one who helped the wandering protagonist was none other than Yu Sua.

Her visit to the dungeon was out of boredom, and because she wasn’t obsessed with strength.

She even kindly informed him of the boss monster’s location.

However, in this case, it was closer to a kind of sarcasm like ‘Can a powerless person like you resist fate?’ rather than a heroine move.

Here, a problem arises.

Han Seoyeon entered the dungeon following the location described in the original work.

However, while the original work described the dungeon’s location in relative detail, it didn’t describe the interior locations in detail.

In other words.

“Lead the way.”

“…Me?”

Han Seoyeon completely needed Yu Sua’s help.

“Just take me to where the boss monster is. If you do that, I’ll let you go.”

“…What if I refuse?”

“I’ll make a mess of that heart as big as your head…! N-no, I mean.”

“I’ll kill you.”

“I’ll guide you! So please, just spare my life!”

Fortunately, thanks to Michaela’s excellent? oratory skills.

Han Seoyeon could easily obtain cooperation.

“…But are you really okay with this?”

“With what?”

With the boss room right in front of them.

Yu Sua asked back.

“The boss monster here, its specs are no joke…”

There was one more reason Yu Sua didn’t conquer the dungeon and went back.

That reason was none other than the strength of the boss monster.

“It’s fine.”

“Of course you’d say that! Yes!”

Even the protagonist of the original work couldn’t avoid struggling.

If he hadn’t coincidentally, luckily discovered its weakness, it would have been a novel shipping ending right there.

“Now that I’ve guided you here, I’ll be going…!”

“Not yet.”

Unfortunately, there was a bit more business with Yu Sua.

“No, you crazy psycho lesbians!”

Yu Sua shouted in shock.

“Do you know what’s in there and still say that? Huh!”

“I know.”

It was fully understandable that Yu Sua was shocked.

Because it was a monster called the strongest among all monsters.

“Open it, Michaela.”

“Anytime is fine.”

Even the hero in his youth couldn’t avoid struggling, they say.

A monster that makes every Korean shudder.

Creeak.

With a chilling sound, the door opens.

And.

■■■■■■■■■─────!

A roar mixed with mechanical sounds close to a scream hit the girls’ ears.

“…”

Cold sweat doesn’t form.

Dry saliva doesn’t swallow.

A muscular upper body reminiscent of a gorilla’s muscles.

A head with horns like a goat, or a demon from the Bible.

Arms and legs made of sturdy chunks of iron.

That massive body of over 10 meters.

Exactly as described in the textbook.

“Behemoth…!”

Official grade: S+.

The culprit of the 3.6 catastrophe.

A true monster that considers Carol as nothing.

“…We’re fucked.”

Yu Sua sensed death.

Behemoth, there’s no way anyone but that hero could face such a monster.

“No.”

But there’s one fact that Yu Sua is overlooking, not knowing.

“We’re not fucked at all.”

The girl in front of her is not just a Falling Star Swordsman.

The fact that she’s a munchkin protagonist.

“Michaela.”

Han Seoyeon placed her hand on the sword hilt.

“A moment is enough. Stop Behemoth’s movement.”

“If that’s what you wish.”

It’s not simply a matter of level.

Han Seoyeon didn’t have such a naive thought that it would be fine because there was a skilled person like Yeon at level 100, or that in the worst case, someone precious might get hurt.

The Behemoth before her eyes is certainly powerful.

But there’s one weakness.

To the extent that even the protagonist of the original work, who was much weaker than the current Han Seoyeon, could defeat it.

No, to begin with, it was ambiguous to even call that thing Behemoth.

More precisely, it was just forcibly moving Behemoth’s corpse.

“Freeze.”

Michaela’s sword emits a pure white light.

The cold air rushes like a storm, freezing Behemoth’s entire body.

“Break─.”

For an ordinary monster, that would be the end.

■■■■■■■■■─────!

“…!”

Crack.

The ice covering Behemoth cracked.

As if it would shatter at any moment.

Abilities don’t work on Behemoth.

It’s just buying time, nothing more.

“That’s enough. Thank you.”

For the munchkin protagonist, that momentary gap was enough.

─Lightning Flash.

Han Seoyeon’s sword strikes.

Aiming for just one spot.

A single blow stabbed into the right side of the chest.

Pazuk.

As it slices through that spot, not blood but a mechanical sound rings out.

‘In the end, it’s just a corpse.’

Behemoth is different from other monsters.

Not an individual but a mutant.

A monster that’s one of a kind in the world.

And Behemoth was already hunted by Yeon long ago.

This was nothing more than an imitation, just artificially piecing together that dismembered corpse.

As it’s forcibly pieced together corpses, its power is greatly reduced.

Weaknesses that didn’t originally exist have also appeared.

The seams between corpse and corpse.

Especially the right side of the chest where the magic stone is embedded is fatal.

Of course, even knowing Behemoth’s seams, an ordinary sword can’t cut it.

With the sole exception of the Falling Star Sword.

■■■─!

With a death cry, Behemoth’s life completely disappeared from the world this time.

“My goodness…”

Yu Sua, who watched the whole process, lost her mind for a moment.

[Dungeon Clear!]

[Calculating rewards….]

That Behemoth.

That Behemoth was defeated with a single blow.

Indeed, the final content, the final boss put forth by the constellations.

…No, could even the constellations control these two?

Such a question even arose.

Come to think of it, the main quest is somewhat different from the quests so far.

It’s disorganized.

The quests given by the constellations are all playful and systematic.

They specify in advance the goals for how to proceed with the quest and the corresponding rewards.

Like a game.

Acting as administrators.

However, the main quest was different.

It’s crude, messy, and shows signs of tension without any systematicity.

Perhaps they are afraid.

Of the power of these two people who defeated even Behemoth in one blow.

Of the potential of humans that even they don’t know.

‘…No, this can’t be right.’

It’s a happiness circuit mixed with too much hymn to humanity.

Yu Sua shook her head.

Constellations are beings that nonchalantly dominate people’s lives and manipulate them at will according to their interests.

They are truly gods.

No one can resist the constellations.

[Calculation complete.]

Nevertheless, if.

If.

[Reward List]

Hidden Item: Secret Manual (S).

Exp: 200000.

While Yu Sua was lost in trivial thoughts, the calculation ends.

Han Seoyeon looked at the newly obtained reward with a very satisfied face.

[Secret Manual]

[Details: You can learn the formula for one martial art of your choice.]

A simple yet tremendously powerful item.

This was exactly what she wanted.

This hidden item was the trigger for the original protagonist to obtain Flower Blooms for Ten Days.

‘But I’ve already mastered Flower Blooms for Ten Days.’

Han Seoyeon, who had read almost all of the original work, knew the formula and techniques to some extent, so she succeeded in mastering Flower Blooms for Ten Days through constant effort in the slums without this item.

‘In other words, I can master another ultimate technique besides Flower Blooms for Ten Days…!’

An ultimate technique that didn’t appear in the main story of the original work.

One that only existed in background settings.

Han Seoyeon could now master it.

[Level Up!]

[Lv. 81 → Lv. 84]

The level up was a bonus.

Due to her butterfly effect, the original story’s development has been twisted.

So she needed to become that much stronger.

Become stronger, defeat enemies.

She will protect the people she loves.

“…Can I really go now?”

“Yes. Sure.”

The business was done.

Han Seoyeon readily released Yu Sua.

“However, before that…”

Han Seoyeon readjusted her sword-holding stance.

─Flower Blooms for Ten Days.

Ten streaks of flame bloom in the dark dungeon.

Burning Yu Sua’s body.

“What…”

Driving away the evil spirit clinging to Yu Sua.

─■■■■■■….

[Yu■■■■■■….

Lv.: ■■■■….

Exp: 4■■■….

HP ■■■■■….

M■■■■■■….

■….

It disappears.

The curse that was eating away at Yu Sua’s daily life.

That nightmare that made her see the world as nothing but a game.

“Ah…”

Yu Sua couldn’t say anything and just stared blankly into space.

“There. A reward for your guidance.”

Han Seoyeon stared at Yu Sua, who had lost her sense of reality.

No, who had now regained it.

To begin with, Flower Blooms for Ten Days is not a technique for killing.

It’s an ultimate technique to liberate players from the curse named constellation.

A sword learned for Yu Sua.

An ultimate technique that the sucker protagonist obtained to save Yu Sua when he saw her suffering.

It wasn’t strange to wield it to rightfully save Yu Sua.

“…What is this.”

Yu Sua’s nightmare ended seemingly too easily.

Her days of suffering came to an end with just one coincidence.

“Ha…!”

It’s a miracle with no plausibility at all.

Indeed, life is an absurd shitty game.

“Ha, haha…!”

Because it was joyful to the point of being empty,

Yu Sua just laughed and laughed.

“Thank you…”

“You’re welcome.”

“Really, really, thank you…!”

Saving a beautiful girl with a few sword strikes.

Isn’t this exactly what a munchkin protagonist does?

“…Hey. Earlier, you seemed interested in my chest.”

“Why?”

“If you want to touch it, want to?”

“Oh…!”

A munchkin is not supposed to be insensitive.

One of the world’s most beautiful girls seducing first, how could anyone resist this!

“Seoyeon.”

“…Ah, no! My right hand moved on its own!”

This is only if Han Seoyeon weren’t devoted to pure love, of course.

Sob sob.

Bye-bye, beautiful breasts…!

“…What, there’s nothing here?”

After the three girls left.

“I just wasted time for nothing.”

The former guide cum porter, ‘Returnee’, complained as he looked at the dungeon that had become ruins after being conquered.
