Disaster event.

In the original work, it was called that, but in this reality, it would be more accurate to call it a disaster.

Disaster usually refers to an unfortunate accident or natural disaster that occurs unexpectedly.

There are also those who say that it is a disaster or a man-made disaster that is treated as less serious than that.

Anyway, the most representative disasters that occur in this world are dungeons and monsters.

When a dungeon goes berserk, the entire environment and people are swept away.

The observation team is now detecting signs of a dungeon rampage.

At some point, there will be many reckless acts like the Shipnaha incident where people cannot read the signs.

When one high-level monster decides to go on a rampage, human lives will fly away like flies.

The moment the monsters start to show their power, we reach a point where we have to form an army to punish them.

However, there are also monsters that are difficult to defeat.

Even without the tower invasion, all sorts of disasters would occur one after another.

This is something new.

Just a hundred years ago, we were in a time of chaos where people were worried about the survival of the species, so it is not surprising that such a time has come again.

If we even consider the invasion of the tower, the future looks quite bleak.

Of course, it’s not a disaster that will happen right away.

Rather, it would be safe to remain in the cradle for a few years.

An event on the scale of a disaster that occurred in the original work begins in the second year.

It also happens in 3rd and 4th grade.

There was no need for the player to jump out and solve it right away.

There are many powerful forces outside as well.

A typical example is an association.

When a disaster occurs, they dispatch an investigation team to investigate the incident and form a punitive force or punitive force to resolve the incident.

For secret and closed incidents where it is difficult to gather a large number of personnel, the internal security department or executive branch is dispatched to root out the cause.

There are also forces established in various places.

Few people like to have foreign powers interfere in their domain.

They usually figure things out on their own before seeking help from the association.

Even if a disaster occurs and great damage is inflicted, we will be able to prevent it from destroying the world.

Even if a large-scale dungeon rampage causes the entire country to be locked in a dungeon.

Even if a tier 2 monster runs wild.

Even if a new magic realm is created.

Players in the cradle are safe.

While in the cradle, they can grow safely in an optimal environment without any threats.

If there’s a problem, it’s after graduation.

It would be like facing a world weakened by the disaster that occurred during Shiyoram’s time at school.

The world is a mess, with no place to start and no way to solve it.

At first, I thought that I would safely build up my strength during my time at Shiyoram and then escape to a remote place… but now even that is impossible.

So, we need to get rid of the roots in advance.

Naturally, there will be risks involved in the process.

‘insurance.’

Property insurance, who wants to suffer losses?

Health Insurance, who wants to be in poor health and groaning in a hospital bed?

[If I die… can you help Seo-Yul?]

Life insurance, how many people want to die?

It is extremely rare for a living being to wish for death.

Me too.

I don’t want to die.

If it were up to me, I’d like to throw everything away and just spend my days eating and playing.

But people have something called insurance.

Because I don’t know what the future holds, there are things that will eventually happen no matter how much I hate it.

To prepare for that even a little, I take out insurance.

That’s what I asked of Lee Ji-yeon.

We’re not that close, but that’s why I asked you to do me a favor.

Hong Yeon-hwa, if you had said something like that to the teacher… you would have your prosthetic hand pulled out immediately and be locked up in the mansion…

But personally, Lee Ji-yeon doesn’t have that deep of a relationship.

He even said publicly that I was his benefactor, so I guess he’ll listen.

“Who died?”

[perplexity]

So, I was embarrassed that I reacted so strongly.

“You’re dying? If you die, you want help? Don’t be a jerk.”

The momentum changed suddenly.

Although he was looking in my direction, I couldn’t hide the awkwardness.

Sometimes, I blush and avoid eye contact.

He addresses me as a benefactor, and has a look of concern on his face.

Everything has changed.

The awkwardness disappears in an instant and the bubbling emotions spread.

The gaze that had not been directed properly opens sharply and glares in this direction.

“Why is death a prerequisite? ”

Even respect was thrown away.

My body trembled at the rather… no, openly murderous tone.

[Hey, don’t swear…]

“Do I look like I’m not swearing right now?”

Ppattuk… The sound of teeth grinding rang out from Lee Ji-yeon’s mouth.

Because it was so entangled with the boiling emotions, it couldn’t have been that brutal.

His shoulders hunched even further.

[Why, why are you so angry…]

[I didn’t assume it was a premise…]

[Just… I’m just asking you this just in case…]

I cautiously responded, observing Lee Ji-yeon’s expression.

Her reaction isn’t entirely incomprehensible.

Good and evil are extremely complex and mysterious concepts.

In my opinion, Lee Ji-yeon is clearly a good person.

Empathize with and feel sad about other people’s pain.

A person who wholeheartedly offers a helping hand when someone he knows is in trouble.

A person who does not avoid injustice when he sees it, but can confidently say that it is wrong.

But since we don’t have a particularly deep connection, I thought he would accept my request with some hesitation just in case…

“If… just in case… in case… what, what if?”

Lee Ji-yeon muttered softly.

His voice hadn’t gotten louder since earlier, but that cold, approaching tone was scary…

“Hoo… ”

Finally, she sweeps her bangs up and lets out a deep sigh.

Even just observing him made me feel frustrated and angry, so I slowly backed away.

– Kwak…

[Ugh]

At that moment, a hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed my wrist.

I jumped back in surprise.

My body was dragged limply by a strong pulling force.

As a person who has emerged from the world of Taishan, it is only natural that he has tremendous basic strength.

Of course, it’s not to the point where you can be dragged along without any resistance.

My growth, aided by growth compensation, is truly amazing, even for me to judge by myself.

This level of restraint can be shaken off in an instant.

“Come here.”

But I couldn’t shake it off.

The current Lee Ji-yeon had an irresistible momentum.

It was difficult to resist the coldly spoken command.

Her body, pulled by the hand that grabbed her, was hugged tightly in her arms.

A face buried deep in soft flesh.

One hand firmly pressed my head and buried it in my chest.

He put his other hand around her waist and pulled her with all his might.

[Ugh…]

He waved both hands in the air as if he was burying her in his arms.

“Who died?”

Lee Ji-yeon’s muttering could be heard above my head.

“You’re dying? If you die, ask for help? Don’t say that.”

It was the same as the first words, but the feelings contained were a little different.

If the first words were anger, the current words seemed to contain a kind of determination.

[Yeah]

The hand that was pressing on my head was released.

Instead, Lee Ji-yeon’s two hands grabbed my cheeks.

His head was tilted up at a rather ominous gesture.

“Never die. I won’t let you die. It’s okay, never die.”

I feel an intense gaze shooting through the closed eyelids.

It feels like my body is being pierced by a rather strong and intense will.

“Why would a good kid like you die? I won’t let you die. Got it? Don’t say anything about dying.”

‘ah…’

Mount Taishan.

A tall and huge mountain.

The people who emerged from Taishan generally had high self-esteem.

They manipulate the earth to give life, and even manipulate the spirits of the dead.

It is also said that the unique ability itself creates a high self-esteem like a high mountain.

I didn’t feel that much of an energy from Lee Ji-yeon, whom I met in person.

From the moment they first met at the Lake of Magic, Lee Ji-yeon was busy avoiding eye contact with a blush on her face.

It was sturdy in the battle with the two-headed dragon.

When we met again in the cradle, he became even more observant of my expression.

The same thing happened after that.

He was observant of my mood and wasn’t particularly assertive.

In short, the impression of being wrinkled was too strong.

“Answer me. I will never let you die, so don’t give up either.”

It’s different now.

In his sharp eyes, his strong will stands out.

The grip on my cheek reveals an unyielding stubbornness.

He seems to be considerate of my opinion, but then tramples on it and pushes his own claims forward with a vengeance.

He forces me to accept it based on my lofty ego.

[yes yes]

[all right]

[I won’t die…]

At the same time, it contained a strong determination, giving the listener faith and giving a solid impression.

This guy is okay, I can trust him, he won’t say anything in vain and will take responsibility…

Overwhelmed by it all, I nodded blankly.

* * *

After a while.

Lee Ji-yeon, who sat on a nearby bench, holding Lee Ha-yul, who had become strangely quiet, in her arms, injected liveliness into him as usual.

Not all of that vitality was provided by Lee Ji-yeon.

Usually, the life force drawn from the earth is properly filtered by Lee Ji-yeon and injected into Lee Ha-yul.

Therefore, the injection of vitality usually proceeds by moving to an area full of vitality.

There was no need for that now.

The grounds of this mansion were filled with an incredible amount of life.

The ground you are standing on.

Blooming plants and flowers.

The vitality contained in all of it was filled beyond limits.

‘It’s so full of life. It wasn’t formed naturally. The president’s mansion… Did the president intentionally fill it with life?’

Even if you draw the life contained in a flower petal once, it won’t be long before the life is replenished.

From the beginning, the life force dormant in the ground was so immense that no matter how much I dragged it out, there was no end in sight.

It was on a level that was not inferior to the spirit lineage in the main family.

Because the energy was so vast, it was the perfect space for Lee Ha-yool, who was strangely lacking in energy, to live in.

‘…I won’t let you die.’

I didn’t pay much attention to him.

Instead, Lee Ji-yeon stared down at Lee Ha-yool, who was held in her arms, with deep eyes.

Infused life force.

Put some crumpled vegetables into an empty bowl.

… it leaks out quickly.

As if there were holes in it, life is seeping out.

‘I won’t let you die.’

Lee Ha-yul has death in his mouth

Afterwards, he made excuses, saying that he said it because he thought it might be a good idea, but Lee Ji-yeon did not believe him.

Of course, death is a common thing in this world.

Especially for superhumans whose profession is fighting and killing, death is near.

It is not such a heavy thing for a superman to talk about death.

However, the death that this child, whose life was leaking out of his body, had to endure was not light.

‘I won’t let you die. Even if you tell me to die… I, I will save you.’

Lee Ji-yeon even felt a sense of responsibility.

I don’t know why it’s in that state, but it’s quite possible that the damage it took in the battle with the twin-headed dragon that Lee Ji-yeon escaped from weakened it.

If Lee Ji-yeon had given Lee Ha-yool enough trust at the time…

“… It’s done.”

The injection of life is complete.

Even though it’s a bottomless pit, I filled it up to the max.

Lee Ha-yool, who had been burying his face in Lee Ji-yeon’s arms, slowly raised his head.

A slightly red face.

… At the same time, a face that looked strangely lifeless, perhaps because of the perception that Lee Ji-yeon had.

Lee Ji-yeon, who had been staring at him for a moment, naturally patted Lee Ha-yool on the back.

A gesture of tapping the area near the neck and sweeping downward.

How many times did I repeat that?

– Ugh

Lee Ha-yool’s body shook once.

– Ugh, ugh…

After a while.

He spits out a slurp of slurp through his slightly open mouth.

… A white heat spread across Lee Ha-yool’s face.

‘There’s something strange about this scene.’

What is that?

The series of events seems like breastfeeding a baby and inducing burping…

‘Crazy bitch.’

Lee Ji-yeon shook her head quickly, her thoughts cut off.

I wonder what happened to my head after seeing that shocking sight last night.

He blindly played with Professor Raana’s chest, and ended up crushing it and sniffing it.

He was biting and sucking Baek A-rin’s fingers while fondling her chest…

And then, Baek A-rin, who met his eyes, smiled faintly…

‘Oh…’

[?]

Suddenly, her face became hot. Lee Ji-yeon coughed loudly and patted Lee Ha-yool on the back.
