The blonde woman was shining alone.

It was as if a sacred light pushing away the darkness was enveloping the woman’s body.

“You know better than anyone who I am, don’t you?”

The blonde woman said with a smile.

Jeong Yu-shin’s expression hardened.

“Please tell me clearly.”

Having rolled around so much in the Labyrinth City, it wasn’t easy to trust anyone. Even more so for someone he was seeing for the first time.

Wasn’t that Rat bastard he just fought a common encounter in the labyrinth?

The woman wore a flustered expression.

“I am the Mother of the Earth. I govern abundance, mercy, and fertility.”

‘I see.’

Jeong Yu-shin inwardly tilted his head.

The woman’s words had some persuasive power.

She had a similar vibe to Mion.

A glance.

Her breasts were enormous. The biggest breasts he had ever seen. Is this what it means to be the goddess of abundance and fertility?

“H, how rude!!!”

The blonde mama covered her chest with one hand and wore an angry expression.

But all that did was distort her breasts, causing her side breasts to ooze out like melted cheese.

No.

He couldn’t be sure that this woman was the Earth Mother just because of that. She could be a wicked lewd boob goddess.

“Ahem! You’re claiming to be a goddess, but what should I use to believe you?”

The woman was flustered once again at Jeong Yu-shin’s question. She kept smoothing back her side hair while still covering her chest.

“Well…didn’t I save you? I think that sufficiently shows my ability and intentions. To be exact, I entered your mindscape. The fact that time stopped is real.”

Mindscape.

No wonder it was so dark. Let’s put that aside.

“I was fighting just fine, though?”

The woman’s mouth slightly opened at Jeong Yu-shin’s nonchalant answer. Her luscious lips and red tongue were slightly visible.

“…What?”

“I was fighting just fine.”

“Weren’t… your fingers cut off and your bones broken? Besides, that Rat kid’s sword was aiming for your Adam’s apple.”

“That can happen when you fight. And I’ve been stabbed in the Adam’s apple before, and I didn’t die. You could call it the mystery of the human body? Anyway, that’s how it is.”

“…”

The woman closed her mouth and glared at Jeong Yu-shin.

‘Mama’s sulky eyes are making my spine tingle.’

“So, what’s the reason you called me here?”

He was curious and amazed, but he wanted to get to the point. He had things to take care of, so he couldn’t just sit here and talk to this woman.

“I’m going to give you a blessing.”

“Why?”

“…”

The goddess glared at Jeong Yu-shin again.

“Don’t you need to overcome the crisis?”

Jeong Yu-shin’s head tilted.

“I was doing just fine on my own. I don’t think anything will change if some god or whatever intervenes now.”

He was pushed back in swordsmanship during the fight with Rat. But what does that matter?

If he had prepared enough, he was confident that he could kill him by any means necessary.

Even if he didn’t, he was prepared to endure with his wickedness and tenacity and cut off his lifeline.

‘That swordsmanship using brat is just a worm.’

“So…so you don’t want to receive it?”

The blonde woman asked.

“Let’s see what you can give me.”

“Ahem! Other people would bow and be grateful, but you’re a bit different.”

The woman cleared her throat once and then spread her hand.

Flash!!!

Light flashed, and a small bonfire appeared in front of Jeong Yu-shin.

It didn’t end there, and five figures rose around the bonfire.

Jeong Yu-shin’s eyes widened.

“…This is?”

A warm golden pattern.

A blue-burning flame.

Green bubbles.

A huge, old, and rusty bell.

And a pink heart.

He was seeing them for the first time. But they were familiar and friendly figures.

How should he put it, they gave off a feeling as if he had spent a long time with them? At least some of them did.

“These are the imprints you have.”

The blonde woman said.

“Ah.”

Jeong Yu-shin blankly looked around at the imprints.

‘As expected.’

The golden pattern is Sacred Weapon.

The blue-burning flame is Revenger.

The green bubbles are Venom Protection.

The old, rusty bell is Death Postponement.

The heart is Virgin Female Corruption.

Jeong Yu-shin reached out and touched the golden pattern. He felt a warm warmth. He also knew that the imprint was reacting to his touch.

He liked it even more because it was his lifeline imprint. No matter what other people thought or treated it, it was like a lifeline to him.

Why?

Because he had overcome the valley of death with this guy.

The blue-burning flame slowly approached.

Jeong Yu-shin smiled and stroked the blue flame as well. It wasn’t hot. Rather, it was pleasantly cold. The flame also swayed in response to his hand.

Revenger also accompanied him. He could be called a comrade because he was there every moment of crisis.

Venom Protection seemed to be shy and hesitant to come. He just left it alone because it seemed like it didn’t want to because they hadn’t spent much time together.

The old bell-shaped Death Postponement imprint remained silent in its place.

The heart slowly approached.

An imprint that he had suppressed and pushed away. An imprint that he had thought about sealing and erasing.

He looked down at the heart slowly approaching his leg and rubbing its body against him and let out a bitter smile.

“I’m sorry.”

Still, because of the years they had spent together, he reached out and stroked it.

The woman watched the scene and opened her mouth.

“Sca, I will give you one choice.”

“What is it?”

“Choose the imprint you have that you want to receive my blessing.”

Jeong Yu-shin fell into deep thought.

A blessing.

Does that mean the imprint will become stronger?

It wasn’t a concept that popped out of nowhere. He had heard it in passing.

If the woman’s words were true, what choice would be the best choice?

“Can I ask you something?”

“Ask away.”

“Can Revenger and Death Postponement be connected to each other?”

“A little more detail.”

“Can I save my life with recovery in a state where death is ‘confirmed’?”

“It is a part that you can reach if you become stronger through mana adaptation and use the Revenger imprint steadily. If you receive my blessing, it will be possible right now.”

Hmm.

It seems like the best choice for now.

“What are the benefits of strengthening the Sacred Weapon?”

“The casting speed will become faster, and you will be able to materialize the weapon in your mind in more detail. Furthermore, you can give a special ‘ability’ to the Sacred Weapon you create.”

“What kind of ability are you talking about?”

“The ability that exists in magic swords or artifacts.”

“There was such a thing?”

“It exists. But people don’t know. It takes a really long time to train to get here.”

“Okay, I understand for now.”

Jeong Yu-shin sat down in front of the bonfire and thought quietly.

Should he strengthen the Sacred Weapon?

Or should he strengthen Revenger?

He put off Death Postponement. It looked like it would only have the effect of lengthening the postponement time. It was useless at the moment.

And to assume death against a commoner like Rat?

‘My pride won’t allow it.’

Venom Protection and Virgin Female Corruption imprints were also postponed for the same reason as Death Postponement.

The answer is already decided.

If he wants to live, he should strengthen Revenger, and if he wants to kill, he should strengthen Sacred Weapon.

Jeong Yu-shin pondered and came to a conclusion.

When he looked up, the woman was sitting primly across from him, looking into the bonfire.

Looking at it like this, she seemed a bit like a goddess. She had a similar vibe to Mion, so he felt more trust for some reason.

“Are you ready?”

The woman asked.

“Yes.”

“Come here.”

The woman said, getting up from her seat. Jeong Yu-shin also got up from his seat and approached her.

“Put your hands together in front of me, kneel on one knee, and then say the imprint you want to be blessed.”

After taking the posture the goddess told him, he opened his mouth.

“Sacred Weapon.”

The woman’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed.

“Not Revenger?”

“…”

He lowered his head without answering. Then, with a sigh, a soft hand stroked his head.

A divine energy traveled from head to toe and disappeared.

“···It’s over.”

Already?

Jeong Yu-shin raised his head and was shocked to see the woman’s lower body reflected in the bonfire.

Her lower body was clearly visible.

Since she was wearing only a fluttering piece of cloth from the beginning, it was a semi-see-through outfit.

A familiar pattern was slightly visible above the thin purple lace T-pants that wrapped around her plump buttocks.

“···Huh?”

“Ah!”

The woman hurriedly covered her lower abdomen.

‘···Why is that there?’

The question was fleeting as the woman hurriedly said.

“Then, please grant me one favor.”

“What is it?”

“C…can you keep this a secret from Mion?”

Jeong Yu-shin scratched his head.

“Why should I do that? Isn’t Mion your faithful servant? There’s no reason to hide it, is there?”

“…”

The woman hesitated and couldn’t answer.

Jeong Yu-shin frowned.

‘What’s the scheme?’

It was strange in the first place that she was showing favor to him.

What was so pretty about him that she would give him such a blessing?

If that woman was really the Earth Mother, it was appropriate to bestow blessings on her believers.

Besides, her figure and clothes were too outrageous for a god.

He might be committing blasphemy if he thought like this.

‘Should I say she feels similar to Ingrid?’

She exuded a similar atmosphere to Mion, but she was a bit more mature and had a stronger feeling of being suppressed.

Jeong Yu-shin shook his head. It wasn’t his business. She must have given it because she wanted to.

Honestly.

He was a bit out of his mind because he was suddenly dragged into the inner world during the fight.

“Can I ask you just one more thing?”

“What is it?”

“Have you ever heard of transmigration? For example, is there a case where a person from another world comes to this world?”

The woman put her hand on her cheek and thought for a moment.

“···No. There’s no such case. There were a few missing person cases that were presumed to be ‘transmigration’ in the old days, though?”

‘Doesn’t she know anything? All she has is huge boobs. Tsk.’

“Does a transmigration imprint exist?”

“It exists.”

The goddess asserted.

Jeong Yu-shin nodded. Now that he had received confirmation, all that was left was to survive and enter the labyrinth.

“There’s not much time left. Prepare yourself and be sure to survive.”

“Yes.”

Jeong Yu-shin nodded and looked at the goddess.

Her personality was a bit unfortunate, but she was a spirit god who had helped him.

‘Am I lucky?’

The goddess spread her hand. Jeong Yu-shin’s body stiffened.

Wait.

A few facts flashed through his mind.

The fact that the goddess knows his name.

The familiar pattern flickering under her belly.

The fact that she specifically asked him not to tell Mion.

Perhaps.

There was a lack of evidence. His delusions might be going too far, and he might be mistaken. But he had to check.

Jeong Yu-shin strode up and grabbed the goddess’s arm.

“Hott?!”

The goddess widened her eyes and looked up at Jeong Yu-shin.

“Child, what are you doing?!”

“Earth Mother.”

“Wh, wh-why?”

Jeong Yu-shin’s hand roughly grabbed the woman’s soft belly.

“Hoo-oohht?!!!”

The woman’s body twitched.

Without stopping, he pressed down hard. The woman’s legs trembled, and she leaned on Jeong Yu-shin’s chest with her monstrous breasts.

He brought his mouth to the woman’s ear.

“Does Mion have a ‘Descent’ or ‘Possession’ imprint?”

“Hooht?! Get out now!!!”

The woman pushed Jeong Yu-shin away with all her might.

Jeong Yu-shin was pushed out into the darkness and fell.

While endlessly falling, he rested his chin on his hand.

“Is it right? Or is it wrong?”

It seemed that the usually kind Mion had committed an unexpected act.

If he assumed that the goddess had acted, the cause and effect made some sense.

But the most fundamental part still remained a mystery.

‘Why is she so nice to me?’

The way she treated him was like a soft milk cow.

What is the reason why the goddess with straight and determined eyes is wagging her tail while exuding a sweet and thick scent?

“It’s because you’re handsome, you little brat.”

“I never wagged my tail. You’re just getting your hopes up. You crazy bastard.”

Little Jeong Yu-shins suddenly appeared next to him and muttered.

‘Hmm. Confirmation.’

He finished his thoughts. He didn’t intend to expand on the assumptions that were just assumptions from the start.

‘I don’t even know people’s hearts, so how can I know the heart of a god?’

He had many questions, but he postponed them. This wasn’t the time to be thinking about these things.

It was time to return to the desperate reality.

He had to go to a world where his fingers were cut off, his bones were broken into pieces, and he had to struggle with a knife in his neck.

‘It’s like a dream.’

Was it a midsummer night’s dream?

Or was it reality?

He closed his eyes in the falling darkness and then opened them.

Rat’s sword was right in front of his Adam’s apple.

‘As expected.’

The enormous pain felt in his left arm instantly heated up his brain.

He slightly twisted his neck. He just had to avoid the carotid artery.

Poo-oooook!!!

At the same time as Rat’s sword pierced his neck, a sharp pain was felt.

“Ggeu-reu-reuk!!!”

With a flashing vision, blood filled his neck. The afterlife flickered in the distance.

His life was on the line, but Jeong Yu-shin smiled brightly instead.

He let go of the sword and clenched his fist.

He had already thought about how to use the imprint.

[Sacred Weapon]

What do I want?

What should I make it?

Half-Ogre Power Gauntlet.

He drew it in his mind and gave it an ability. He felt the golden pattern vibrating deep in his soul.

In an instant, all of his magic power was sucked out.

He saw Rat smiling. Did he think he was dead because he was stabbed in the neck?

‘You pathetic bastard.’

Jeong Yu-shin took a step forward and threw a straight punch.

The most perfect cross counter.

Bbaaaaaaak!!!!!

A tremendous sound engulfed the street.

Jeong Yu-shin’s fist, wrapped in platinum radiance, hit Rat’s chin. He crushed the mandible, zygomatic bone, and zygomatic arch all at once.

Thud!!!

Rat spun around, flew through the air, and slammed into the street floor.

“Ggeu-eh…!!! Ggeu-eok!!!”

Rat convulsed and struggled to get up. Broken teeth mixed with sticky blood fell to the floor from his mouth.

Jeong Yu-shin, who had been watching the scene quietly, smiled and spat out the blood that had come up his throat onto the floor.

“Kaa-aack Too-eht!!! Rat, are you a genius? This commoner bastard…if I punch you, you’re helpless.”

One of the brave onlookers who hadn’t left and remained nearby muttered with a blank look.

“I…I can’t tell who the bad guy is?”
