An office turned into ruins.

It seems like I’m alone after all.

I feel like I’m floating in the air, unable to hear any sound or move. Even if I want to speak, I can’t do anything, and slowly my vision is darkening.

‘Of all things, thinking about that woman…’

I remember the happy times from when I was young.

Maybe it was when I was in first grade of elementary school.

Playing happily with my older sister and laughing while eating the meals made by our kind mother came to mind.

The woman who wore an apron and cooked for us.

Even now, she was truly a beautiful and lovely woman.

At that time, I really loved that woman.

As my eyes filled with moisture, sleep overtook me.

Ring!

[The agent is dying.]

[Skills are enhanced to save the agent.]

Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!

[Natural Recovery (Lv. 2)]

[Natural Recovery (Lv. 3)]

[Natural Recovery (Lv. 4)]

[Natural Recovery (Lv. 5)]

[A new ability is created to protect the agent.]

[Physical enhancement skill granted.]

[Soldier summoning skill granted.]

My darkened vision cleared, and I regained consciousness.

Thud.

Thud.

Thud thud.

Strength returned to my whole body.

From my hands to my toes, even my genitals.

When I turned my neck back, a strange sound emerged.

Slowly getting up, I took deep breaths and stretched.

“Ha… I almost died for real.”

Not only did I get slapped by the woman, but my neck twisted, almost killing me. It seems like facing death makes one stronger.

But I don’t want to experience this again.

Being conscious but feeling like my body won’t listen was hell itself.

‘Dove, does that sister feel the same way?’

I think of Dove lying alone in the temple even now. His eyes seem unfocused, and I’m contemplating fixing his arms and legs.

I gained many new abilities this time as well.

Seeing the last glimpse of the Reaper passing by, I was truly on the brink of death.

I clenched my fist tightly.

The strength in my grip was completely different from before.

‘It’s physical enhancement, so maybe I did get stronger.’

Somehow, I felt like I could do it too.

Aiming at the unbroken wall, I targeted my fist.

And I punched with force.

Crash!

Thud.

“Wow… this is quite something.”

Was concrete really this easy to break?

As the wall crumbled, what was visible on the opposite side was the ruined office.

Finally, I obtained the physical abilities I had longed for.

With a smirk on my face, the excitement didn’t fade.

I wonder how strong I can become.

At least, if I reach Samael’s level, I won’t be twisting my neck to death by a woman.

I went back to where Kim A-yeong was.

Seeing the interior in ruins, it seemed like Samael followed my orders well.

The plan I had in mind was simple.

I would detain Kim A-yeong’s older sister for as long as possible, even if it meant just a few seconds, buying time. Meanwhile, Samael would capture Kim A-yeong.

To create confusion, I instructed to drill holes in the walls, ceiling, and floor.

Lastly, if he could take Kim A-yeong and quickly escape the building, it would be a success.

“Search for any remaining survivors!”

A signal was heard.

After the shout, many people seemed to gather. It was awkward to hide and pretending to be dead.

I was about to leave as well, but one timing caught me off guard.

“Ugh, annoying.”

I leaned against the wall.

And I waited until people arrived.

Tap.

“Oh? Here! There’s someone here! Are you okay?”

“P-please… save me… I got stabbed in the stomach and I’m bleeding. Cough!”

A man who seemed like a paramedic found me. I reached out to him, asking for help. People saw the blood on my lips and my disheveled appearance, and immediately checked my pulse.

After that, everything went smoothly.

On the lobby floor, there were skilled individuals dressed in common uniforms bustling around.

They seemed to be affiliated with the guild rather than SRS, but each exuded a fierce aura.

As I descended, they stared at me blankly.

“Excuse me! I’m a patient! Come out!”

The paramedics supporting me shouted and smoothly exited, making way.

That’s how I leisurely escaped from the City Hall.

***

“You bastard!! Stop right there!”

Kim Lumi, chasing after the villain who kidnapped her younger sibling.

As the guy glanced back and then turned to run again, she bit her lip tightly.

She was so angry that her head was throbbing.

Kim Lumi escaped from City Hall and searched meticulously.

A guild member with exceptional tracking abilities arrived first. With her help, they were able to capture a creature heading south at an astonishing speed.

Her ability allows her to observe the movements of organisms within a radius of several kilometers.

When she saw the silhouette of her younger sibling Kim Ayoung, she chased after with all her might.

The guy was running with her sibling on his shoulders.

Jumping lightly between buildings.

Mercilessly cutting through people in the way without hesitation. Above all, watching the monster without any sign of fatigue, Kim Lumi was chilled to the bone.

He wasn’t just an ordinary villain.

It was a situation where she had to risk her life to rescue her sibling.

She chased after him for a long time, panting heavily.

“Guild Master! I… can’t go on anymore… *pant*… I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. Follow me slowly. Tell everyone at City Hall to follow!”

“Yes, understood!”

Eventually, even the guild member who was tracking with her got exhausted and collapsed.

Kim Lumi, now barefoot, threw away her shoes and even took off her jacket.

A large chest that looked muscular at first glance protruded prominently. As she threw away her glasses, goosebumps formed around her body.

Boom!

With explosive speed, Kim Lumi ran after him.

He passed through Yongsan and broke through Nodeul Island.

Like a circus performer, he crossed over people’s heads and entered a narrow residential area instead of a major road.

Then he selectively ran where there were many people.

One or two people were dropping dead as he passed by.

He grabbed a passerby and threw them towards Kim Lumi.

Tsu tsu tsu zuk.

An ice spear formed in Kim Lumi’s hand.

Aiming at the kidnapper’s leg with a nearly 2-meter-long spear, she threw it with all her might.

Swoosh!

Boom!

“What?”

As if waiting, he jumped in place and even did a mid-air somersault.

The ice spear stuck into the asphalt ground and turned into powder, disappearing.

“Grrrr…”

“What exactly are you?”

He stopped running and made eerie sounds towards Kim Lumi.

Kim Lumi created another ice spear in her hand.

Aiming at his forehead, she took aim.

Swish.

Thud.

“…No, don’t. Please…!”

He was a vicious man.

He grabbed the back of the unconscious Ayoung and lifted her up. Then he tore Ayoung’s clothes and aimed a sharp blade at her lower abdomen.

A little blood trickled as the blade slightly pricked her. Seeing her sister with a visible black bra, Kim Lumi’s face contorted.

“Please…! Look at this. I don’t want to fight you.”

Kim Lumi knelt down and turned the ice spear into powder. Trembling, she raised both hands, showing her palms.

“Do you need money? Please! She’s my only sister. Huh? Come on?”

He gestured for Kim Lumi to come towards him with a flick of his finger.

Nodding her head, Kim Lumi slowly approached the villain while still kneeling.

Pluck.

Pluck.

Pluck.

To her surprise, her eyes widened at his unexpected actions.

He cut off the buttons of her blouse with a knife.

“Take, take it off…?”

She was flustered.

In the midst of this, she felt a sense of arousal as he unbuttoned her blouse. She thought that complying with what he wanted might help protect her sister.

So she took off her clothes.

Kim Lumi, wearing only a white bra, revealed her upper body.

Even with the bra on, her breasts were so large that they slightly protruded.

The white flesh of her breasts reflected on his helmet.

“Well… why don’t you touch me instead? Little brother… will you let go? Please… I beg you. Do you need a woman? Shall we go to a motel together?”

Kim Lumi lowered one side of her bra slightly.

With pink nipples, her nipples popped out.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she pleaded while looking up at him.

“Kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick… Kick, kick, kick.”

The man in the helmet stared down at Kim Lumi and suddenly started laughing.

He was laughing with his head tilted back in a very eerie manner.

Sigh.

Sigh.

“Huh?”

The knife the man was holding swished through the air. X-shaped scars were carved into Kim Lumi’s chest.

Blood flowed profusely from the wound inflicted by the knife.

“Ah… Ahyoung…”

Kim Lumi slowly collapsed backward, still staring at her little brother.

Woo-woo-woo-woong!

Crackle.

It was a series of surprises for her.

He didn’t feel lust towards her; he possessed her. And light emanated from around the bodies of the monster and her little brother.

It was so dazzling that it was impossible to open their eyes in broad daylight.

“…Cough, Ahyoung…!”

As if being sucked into the sky, the two people gradually disappeared.

“Sob. No… Ahyoung! Gyaah! No!”

Despite having both eyes wide open, they were completely overwhelmed.

Her little brother vanished before her eyes as if it were a lie.

***

“Father. Thank you for everything.”

“Yeah. Agni. Have you been taking care of the house?”

“Kick, kick. Of course.”

They quickly returned to the hideout by taxi.

Subordinates waiting at the entrance warmly welcomed them.

Agni looked around, patting Agni’s head.

“Where is Samael?”

“He hasn’t returned yet.”

“I see… Is he being chased?”

Even if it was Samael, it wouldn’t be easy to run from the city hall to here.

There was also a possibility that Kim Ahyoung’s older sister was chasing him.

“Hmm. Should I try it once?”

He had acquired a new ability.

It was a skill called Soldier Summoning, which seemed perfect for the current situation. He cast the skill in the large courtyard in front of Daewoongjeon.

[Soldier Summoning (Lv. 1)]

“Hmm. Interesting… They appear as soon as you choose them. It seems like the number doesn’t matter.”

When he clicked on the skill name in the status window, a list of soldiers appeared. And he could even click on them with the cursor.

[Number of Soldiers Owned: 28]

– Goblin(★): 26

– Hobgoblin(★★): 1◀

– Goblin Mage(★★★): 1

“…What?”

Clicking didn’t bring about any change.

Samael was nowhere to be seen.

Only small children were looking at him.

“Father. Look up.”

“Huh?”

Agni was looking up.

I, too, raised my head and looked up at the sky.

Kugung.

Dark clouds covered the sky above the hideout.

Thunder rumbled, and a pillar of light started from between the clouds and reached the ground.

Someone began to appear within the brightly shining pillar.

“He has arrived. Kick, kick.”

Agni greeted him warmly with a smile.

Samael, holding a sword, appeared as if summoned in the middle of battle.

“Well done, Samael.”

“Kekekekeke.”

Approaching, Samael knelt down and presented a woman to me.

The woman fainted and lost consciousness.

She was stripped of her clothes, revealing a black bra. The woman I had been searching for so desperately.

Finally, Kim Ahyoung fell into my hands.
