It was an opportunity to guess that everything that had happened to me so far was related to the dangerous power called {Sculpture}.

When I was kidnapped by Janes… the mysterious background that was still unknown.

Matina is a {Piece of Greed} that can be encountered in {Ryu Nest}.

[Mutant Lil Bear] with {Gluttony Fragment} found in {Diggle Forest}.

Vert, a {Sculpture of Sloth} that could be seen at the {Royal Academy}.

And… the mysterious host with the ominous black-purple magic who deliberately targeted me during the {Winter Festival}.

Is all this just a coincidence?

‘It’s clear that someone has been targeting me the whole time..’

‘First, let’s summarize the events that led to one clue.’

The black-purple magic power that Velze saw before he went berserk.

{Winter Festival} If it is the same magic that was exuding from the host’s body at the time…

It was possible to guess that the mysterious person behind the black-purple magical energy already knew about the [Mutant Lil Bear].

{Jaynes’ Kidnapping} – {Attack of the Mutant Lil Bear} – {Winter Festival Tragedy} If all of these events were a plan by someone with that black-purple magical power…

Then it seemed highly likely that the person who threatened Janes into kidnapping me was the culprit.

No… maybe there are multiple targets targeting me.

‘Let’s not make hasty judgments..’

＇It’s still just my guess.＇

Slippery!!

＂Belze… When I subdued the [Mutant Lil Bear] some time ago. I remember?”

I began to doubt that even though {Piece of Gluttony} was not in my body, I could exert its ominous power simply because it was a {mark}.

“When I lost my mind.. what happened?”

Certainty was needed as to how Belze obtained the {mark}.

“I don’t remember exactly either..”

“Sorry.”

Of course, she probably didn’t want a reunion like this with me.

After saying that we would become stronger, we chose our separate paths.

Why did we meet like this?

Slippery!!

I suppressed my rising emotions for a moment and continued speaking.

＂Even if it’s painful, remember Belze..＂

“What we need is information.”

Belze raised his bowed head at Dahyun’s stern expression and began to open his mouth heavily.

“At that time, I thought you were dead.”

“Because [Mutant Lil’ Bear] had such overwhelming power.”

Water drips… drips… from the damp brown fur.

＂Like something black stuck to your neck… and suddenly jumped out of your eye.＂

Belze continued speaking while pointing at the black slime.

“And then.. he covered your body and acted as if he was manipulating it.. and instantly killed [Mutant Lil Bear].”

Slippery!!

To be honest, it was a hard story to believe, but I didn’t think what she said was a lie, so I slowly gathered my thoughts.

“The [Mutant Lil Bear] that only had its head left was trying to throw something at you.”

“I lost my mind trying to stop it.”

Ssss..

＂This is the wound that occurred back then..＂

Velze took off the shirt he was wearing and started showing a mysterious {mark}.

‘This..?’

This mark…

It was clearly a {mark} that was also on the shoulders of Ber, {a piece of sloth}, and Martina, a {piece of greed}.

＇As expected… should {mark} be interpreted as a vessel in which {piece} can reside?’

I take a moment to look at this black slime that helped me quickly recognize and organize the whole situation.

Slippery?

“Okay, thank you.”

Slippery!!

“First, I’m going to {Diggle Forest} where the magic stone of [Mutant Lil’ Bear] is located, Belze.”

＂Can you still feel the presence of that magic stone?＂

At my question, Belze started shaking all over like a scared puppy.

Soaked in water.. ears and tail hanging down.

Seeing Belze’s lack of courage, I once again firmly hold her shoulder.

＂I told you..＂

“Don’t avoid it, but face it and make atonement.”

It’s not that I don’t know how she feels.

“Are you going to be trapped like this for the rest of your life?”

＂Feeling guilty?＂

＂A sense of shame?

Knowing how she felt, I had no choice but to push her harder.

“You can only move forward if you regret and admit it..”

I had black mucus, which allowed me to think rationally rather than emotionally, so I was able to survive, but her already broken heart was… It was a gruesome ordeal that Belze had to overcome on her own.

Therefore, it was necessary to push her harder, like shooting her, to help her come to her senses.

“So… wake up now.”

Belje raises his head, which he had not been able to do for a while, after hearing Dahuin’s words, and looks into his eyes.

Dahyun’s eyes sparkle with blue light.

The empty eyes that had been full of despair just a moment ago had disappeared everywhere.

just..

I thought he was amazing.

I’m sure it must have been more painful and painful than that…

He must have been the target of an enemy who killed everyone.

Dahyin felt sad for me, and rather than giving up everything in pain, she was trying to move forward.

Seeing Da-heein showing a completely different side to me… I try to suppress this unpleasant feeling that pulls me down like a swamp.

Because I knew better than anyone else how to resent someone, I had no choice but to look at him with mercy.

If he needs it… he will give his life.

If he gives the command, even a fire will break through.

This promise… is the atonement I can convey to him.

It will be the driving force to move forward.

Thump thump thump!!

At that moment, someone started repeatedly knocking on the front door of the mansion.

＇Survivor?＇

I rushed out and slammed the front door just in case! I tried opening it, but

I could tell that it was a delivery man who had sent a letter from {Alysseum Kingdom} some time ago.

“I have delivered everything that needed to be delivered..”

“then.”

The delivery man who delivered the letter looked very frightened and began to run away from the village.

Slurp..

Naturally, the content of the letter was a letter I had received a few days ago containing the slander of Asia’s sister and the disappearance of her mother.

That means.

My father… passed away without knowing this fact.

Kkuki..

I look at the letter I picked up again and again, trying to get my mind together.

＂Belje… We’ll leave right away the next day.＂

“There are a lot of empty rooms, so keep your eyes peeled.”

I left Belze alone and headed to the kitchen.

Traces of the past that could be seen through Shumi’s eyes.

Among them, I could see that the potion that my father had been making himself was in the kitchen.

Rattling..

＂As expected… everything is broken.＂

The kitchen, which had no way to be intact due to the huge impact, was literally a mess.

There are broken bottles here and there, and ingredients that are hard to identify.

Even in this situation, I was hungry, so I carefully opened the warehouse where the food was stored.

Sigh..

Cool underground space.

After discovering well-preserved preserved food, I stored the food in the [Subspace Ring] and looked at the potions my father had made one by one.

Most of it was broken and the potions were mixed together.

One seemingly fine potion caught my eye.

[Purification Potion]

This is a potion that the manufacturer, Hahyunt, worked hard to create day and night while thinking of his family.

A potion made by refining the roots and leaves of the mysterious flower [Black Petunia], which has a detoxifying effect only on those who raised it.

When taken, it purifies the beneficial components of the entire body and heals at a rapid rate.

When Hahyunt’s family takes it, it heals any psychological damage and also increases their immunity.

I was moved to tears when I heard how carefully it was made and the statement that it was made with family in mind.

Ssss..

I place this in the [Subspace Ring] and slowly stand up.

Did he notice how I felt?

The black slime on my shoulder pulled out a small tentacle and started caressing my cheek.

“Are you comforting me?”

Now that the presence of black slime has finally caught my eye, I use the {Confirm Information} ability to identify its identity.

[black button]

It is a part of a forgotten soul, a piece that has been torn apart by considerable shock, and is closely connected to Dahuin in spirit.

He can share what he thinks.

Distant past.

It is a being created by Dahuin who {consumed} the legendary mineral [Black Mithril] created by {Piece of Greed}.

– [Black Button], which has all the properties of [Black Mithril], can absorb external magical power.

– Grows by absorbing the user’s mental and physical pain.

“Now, just a moment…”

I really don’t understand the explanation.

The description on [Black Button] says that I {ingested} [Black Mithril], but…

Since implanting the [Slime] magic stone… I have only {ingested} [titanium] ore.

“A being connected to the soul?”

“no way..”

Distant past…

I was able to guess that my forgotten past life had a [Slime] magic stone implanted into my body, just like my current self.

‘then..’

＇Are you saying that I {ingested} the ore called [Black Mithril] created by {Piece of Greed}?＇

Think about the power of Martina.

＇If that black chain is made of [Black Mithril], then it is definitely powerful enough to be coveted.’

The ore’s advantage of being able to absorb external magical power will be greatly applied.

only..

Me in my past life…

It was surprising that I had a monster’s magic stone implanted in my body like I do now.

‘What kind of trick of fate is this..’

“under…”

＂I feel dizzy.＂

As I let out a deep sigh… the [black button] landed on my palm and soon began to dance around, shaking it back and forth as if to relieve my mood.

A soft yet hard feel.

Apparently, this had a similar tactile feel as if it had been transformed into a [titanium] material using [slime] slime.

＂Okay.. First of all, it sticks well..＂

“I’ll decide what to do with you later…”

“There’s a lot of work to do now.”

I wonder if he understood what I was saying… [Black Button]’s small dancing body clung to my right hand as if wrapped around it.

It began to transform into the form of a glove, as if it were armed with [titanium] slime.

＂………….＂

“okay. “I’m doing that…”
