I tried moving both arms as if stretching.

It moves better than before.

It feels like the machine has been oiled.

‘It’s true that a body filled with life moves better. I was born alive, so I guess I need to be filled with life to be energized.’

This is one of the reasons why the physical abilities of the Taishan Manifestors are so bizarre.

Because the body is so full of energy, the body cannot help but become active.

So, it is difficult to kill a Taesan manifestation above a certain level.

Perhaps when it gets to the level of Lee Ji-yeon, even if the neck is dangling, it will be able to heal naturally if you just stick it on.

If you consciously focus on healing there, the speed will double.

‘hmm…’

I touched his shoulder with a strange look.

There is a question that comes to mind whenever I think about life.

Even now that I have achieved the recognition of life, Lee Ji-yeon continues to breathe life into me.

It is clear that other life forms are slowly entering my body, which is already full of life.

Even if you observe closely to see where that energy goes, the traces are cut off as if swallowed by dark space.

It was a phenomenon that was incomprehensible to English.

“Excuse me, junior.”

That was when.

Lee Ji-yeon suddenly reached out and grabbed my right wrist.

“Are you sick or something?”

He gently caresses my wrist with a somewhat worried expression on his face.

When I looked, it was Lee Ji-yeon’s wrist that was being tightly grabbed and pulled.

He seemed worried that I might get hurt.

[yes]

[I wasn’t sick]

I shook my head and told him not to worry.

My physical abilities are equally bizarre.

It wasn’t bruised to that extent or anything.

“Thank goodness. I was a little upset earlier and acted violently. I’m really sorry.”

Lee Ji-yeon smiled faintly as if she was really glad to hear me say that.

I also mumbled for a moment, then nodded.

‘…Has something changed?’

It was a little different from the Jjuguri Lee Ji-yeon from before.

What can I say, it felt more like I was encountering a side of Lee Ji-yeon that I had only seen in the original work rather than the Jjuguri that I had encountered in person.

‘The original Lee Ji-yeon… had a sullen side, but she was a dependable and dependable person.’

A leader who supports the party as a vanguard by utilizing Taesan and takes care of the psychological aspects.

Although she did not possess unprecedented power like Hong Yeon-hwa, Baek A-rin, or her mother, she stood out for her ability to skillfully lead the party with her skills stretched to the limit.

Even in the first round, just having Lee Ji-yeon in the party significantly reduced the psychological burden on the players.

A character who literally supports the party like a mountain.

[hmm…]

[Shall we go in now?]

“Oh, yes.”

Lee Ji-yeon, who had been caressing my wrist for a while, turned around

[?]

Just holding my wrist.

My steps involuntarily stopped as if I was trying to keep a child from going astray.

“Huh? Why are you like that?”

Lee Ji-yeon tilted her head as she looked back at me, who had stopped still.

It seems as if they don’t realize what the problem is.

[Uh… no, it’s nothing]

That was quite absurd, but I shook my head in disbelief.

Lee Ji-yeon blinked her eyes and then started walking again.

It’s not that it’s not true, but the way people around me treat me has been really consistent lately.

I was very confused by his behavior, which seemed to be that of a child actually on the riverbank.

‘Of course, it’s true that my mental level is that of a child, and I don’t necessarily hate being treated like that…’

I feel like my pride has been shattered… I have complicated feelings.

Anyway, I went to the mansion with Lee Ji-yeon holding my wrist.

– Should everyone be heading home soon? It’s already well past lunchtime, and you have to prepare for next week’s lectures, right?

– Huh? I’m going to live here?

– What the hell, who the hell changed the address? You already ate, so get out.

– Whose business is it? I got permission from the owner here yesterday~ I’m a proper resident too? Oh! Did our Yeonhwayeonhwa pass out from drinking so much that she couldn’t hear you?

– What the fuck?

[omg]

– I don’t have any specific classes to teach, so I don’t have anything to prepare. No, I have to take care of my students’ training, so I’d rather just stay with them.

– What are you talking about, you idiot? In what era do masters and disciples live in the same house?

– I did get permission before. I don’t remember exactly when it was… But I definitely heard it from my disciple’s mouth. ‘If you buy a house later, you can come and live with us!’… I think he said something like that.

– … That, that. Of course it’s just lip service. Ha-Yul is such a good kid, so she couldn’t have said to you in front of her, “Where the hell is that old b*tch coming from?”

– The training facilities in the mansion are also excellent. If they are mediocre, it is worse than not using them, but if they are at this level, I think I can actively use them.

– Can’t you hear what this crazy bitch is saying? Get out there, you piece of shit.

[omg…]

– … Professor Riana Bellus? Don’t you also teach a class? In the area of spiritism?

– Ah, hahaha… The facilities here are really nice… It’s good for the spirits to live in that area, and there’s a research lab on the east side! Since it’s a facility that the president used himself, the quality of everything is amazing!

– Wasn’t this year a crazy year?

– That… I got permission yesterday, but he said, ‘No, don’t go, stay with me…’

[omg…]

– I got permission from the beginning, Yeonhwa.

– … I know too.

Just before opening the door.

My body froze at the sound coming from inside.

Baek A-rin… I ended up giving permission.

I was drunk and absentmindedly agreed to the question that was asked while patting my butt and talking about Baek Ha-yul.

Master… Was it like that? I tried to recall my memories.

I remembered.

It’s a memory from a while ago.

I remember smiling and saying that we should stay together later when he said that he would be really sad if I left his arms and started wandering around.

Professor Riana… When did I do that?

It brought back memories I didn’t want to recall.

I remembered.

When Professor Riana said that I shouldn’t do this and that I should go soon, I buried my face in her arms and whined at her not to go…

“Junior?”

Lee Ji-yeon looked back at me and tilted her head.

– Dori Dori

I shook my head, resisting the hand that was pulling me in.

I don’t think I should go in now.

Of course, I really want to go in and see Hong Yeon-hwa with my own eyes and act spoiled.

I don’t think I should go in right now…

– … Ha-yul, I can feel everything in front of the door. Come in quickly.

[Ugh…]

A voice from inside.

My shoulders shook violently at the sound that had the momentum of a bubbling volcano.

– Are you okay? Hurry up.

Now that I think about it, the secretive feeling has swelled up as I fill it with life.

I didn’t even try to hide my presence…

His face turned pale.

[Seo, senior…]

“Huh, huh? Yes?”

He turned his head and grabbed Lee Ji-yeon’s arm with trembling hands.

She must have heard the sound inside, because she looked at me with a prickly expression.

[Help, help…]

The necklace of confession clicked.

A rather earnest voice rang out softly.

I don’t know about other Lee Ji-yeons, but if it’s Lee Ji-yeon who is so strong and dependable like that, I’m sure I can get help…

You call me your benefactor?

And actually, I didn’t say anything, but I saved that kid while I was an innocent person!

I didn’t know at first, but Maxwell quietly hinted at it to me before.

Although she is not as precious as Lee Ji-yeon from the main family, she is a precious child enough…!

I saved you…!

“Oh, oh my… ”

Lee Ji-yeon, who was rolling her eyes, seemed to respond to my earnest wish.

I slowly turned my head.

This damn traitor.

Then, the door flew open and an outstretched hand grabbed my wrist and dragged me along.

“Is this it?”

A ruin where the remains of buildings and the corpses of various monsters are all jumbled together.

The man stirred through the ruins, his face crumpled.

An object that appears after clearing away the debris by moving your feet here and there.

The man grabbed it and pulled it out.

“It looks like just a straw doll… Oh, it’s definitely a high-grade artifact if you look at its magical power.”

“… Oh, that’s right. I finally found it.”

“What the hell, how long did it take? I think I was stuck there for two or three months.”

The red-haired man standing next to him answered.

The man let out a loud sigh and tilted his head back.

A gloomy, gray sky.

There are no clouds floating in the sky. The gray color of the sky is not caused by dark clouds, but is simply the natural color of the sky.

That’s not the only strange thing about the sky.

There is no sunlight to shine down on the ground, nor is there any moonlight to illuminate the earth during the night.

There is hardly any wind, and the wind that does blow is extremely bleak.

A world where there is no reason for things to work as they should.

Originally, it was an individual space that played separately from the ways of the world.

“Why are you stuck somewhere else? I can’t bring the others… Crap.”

The man who had been glaring at the sky clicked his tongue and examined the artifact in his hand.

An old straw doll. It looks like a piece of junk, with obvious signs of damage here and there.

The thread holding the straw in place was loose in many places and looked as if it would come loose and fall to the floor at any moment.

“So, what kind of artifact is this that you’re looking for? Even if the grade is high, if the performance is bad, it’s a dead end.”

“I don’t know, it’s called a spirit body.”

“God? Is this how God will descend?”

“You idiot, I’m here.”

“Then what? Are you going to summon your own legion commander early?”

“Well… I didn’t hear the explanation, but they said they were going to call something else… What did they say… ”

The red-haired man closed his eyes as if trying to remember something.

And then I spat out the tiny thoughts that I remembered.

“Pacheonshinjang Geumgangyeoksa Breaking the Heavenly God General Geumgangryuksa?”

“Pacheon… What?”

“I also overheard, so I don’t know, so stop asking.”
