      by Ember heart — Chapter 11 Thud― “I’ve never experienced anything like this in my life.” As if that shout had been a signal, the other mercenaries also began picking up their cups one by one. These were the same people who had been rolling around on the ground just moments ago. Naturally, it took a tremendous amount of courage to put something unknown to their lips again. But after one sip. And then another. Similar reactions came from the mercenaries here and there. “Ah, I’m…

      by Ember heart — Chapter 10   The mercenaries who had arrived as intruders were now becoming genuine customers, all of them focused on even the slightest movement of Se-hee's hands. Watching this, Se-hee suddenly realized something. This forest is attracting more people than I thought. She instinctively felt that this wasn't going to end after just one day. But that was something she could think about later. There was only one thing that mattered right now. Teaching them how to cook…

      by Ember heart — Chapter 9   Se-hee checked the blue window floating before her once again. “……This.” Only then did she realize it. It was exactly the same format as the annoying and dangerous notification she had received yesterday. “Don’t tell me this is some kind of mission or quest?” A strange chill ran down her spine. Don’t tell me this is going to pop up every day. Se-hee unconsciously looked at the pot, then at the fog beyond it, going back and forth. Then she…

      by Ember heart — Chapter 8 Se-hee muttered in disbelief. As if they had been waiting for Cassian to leave, none of them attacked. “For now, yeah. Just stay like that, everyone. Don’t attack me.” Se-hee sighed in the strange silence. She went into the tent and took out the pork belly she had grilled yesterday. Since it had already gone cold, Se-hee put it back over the fire. “Can you all just eat this and leave?” The wolf was the first to turn its head. It looked up at Se-hee for a moment,…

      by Ember heart — Chapter 7   Countless gazes could be felt beyond the fog. Branches twisted on their own despite the absence of wind. Monsters captivated by the smell are heading toward Se-hee's Supermarket. Se-hee's expression instantly hardened. “Wait. You said the economic activity was increasing. Then what's this imbalance supposed to mean?” At that moment, the wolf suddenly raised its head. It lowered its body with its tail pressed against the ground. Until now, its gaze had…

      by Ember heart — Chapter 6 “…What?” Fortunately, Cassian hadn't heard it. He had noticed Se-hee's expression stiffen, though. “No, what is this?!” Even so, Se-hee muttered sincerely, “This is insane.” She couldn't tell whether it was a joke or an error. It's talking nonsense. She decided once again that this system was strange and casually flipped the meat as if nothing had happened. Se-hee tightly gripped the branch she was using instead of a spatula, holding back the string of…

      by Ember heart — Chapter 5 2,400P. Still… It was much better than before. “I can finally afford the frozen pork belly.” Before she even realized it, her hand had already moved. The space in front of her warped for just a moment, and a vacuum-packed piece of meat dropped into her hand. There was no mistaking it. It was frozen. “Wow…” The wolf reacted to the sound. Its ears perked up, and it stared intently at what Se-hee was holding. “Ah.” She awkwardly scratched the back…

      by Ember heart — Chapter 4   Se-hee's body froze completely. “Did you… hear that?” With no one else to rely on, Se-hee instinctively turned toward the wolf. The wolf was already growling low toward the grass. Se-hee took a breath and cautiously approached. When she pushed aside the grass, she found a man collapsed inside. “Huh?” There were deep wounds on his shoulder and side, as if they had been hastily bandaged. He was covered in blood. And yet, what came out first was…

      by Ember heart — Chapter 3   Instead of answering, the wolf swept its tail across the ground once more. “……Wow.” Se-hee looked back and forth between the tent and the wolf. One of the forest’s top predators had settled down right in front of her. There was no way other monsters would dare come close. “At least I’ve got reliable security.” Then she looked at the chopsticks still in her hand and smiled. The wolf slowly raised its head and looked up at…

      by Ember heart — Chapter 2   The harsh words almost escaped her mouth, but her body was honest. “And what? There’s a penalty for failing too?” Se-hee’s eyes moved back to the system window. “What does ‘extinction’ mean? You’re not just going to kick me out, are you?” Hoping that it did not really mean what it sounded like, she read the message again. It did not look like she would simply be logged out of a game, either. “So if I don’t do business, I really disappear?” A…
