Chapter 7 He firmly tugged down the roughly torn sleeve of his coat. The piece of cloth, covered in dirt dust, slid down his wrist and covered the cold black piece of iron. Still, as the bizarre shape at the edge was slightly exposed, Chan-ho roughly scooped up mud pooled on the floor and rubbed it coarsely over the surface. At a glance, it looked like a crushed, cheap protector that had been rolling around on the dungeon floor. 'This much shouldn't draw attention.' Picking up his worn backpack lying…-

Chapter 6 A heavy vibration surged up through the soles of his feet. The pooled blood on the floor trembled finely. Beyond the corpses of the low-grade monsters strewn about in all directions, something massive was wriggling in the deepest darkness of the collapsed stone chamber. Thud. Thud. With every single step, stone dust showered down from the ceiling. Chan-ho's brow narrowed. Just as he was about to catch his breath, the situation granted him no respite. The form of the creature emerging…

Chapter 5 Clack. As soon as the horrifyingly cold piece of iron touched his skin, it wriggled like a living creature. The loose internal mechanisms rapidly tightened to fit Chan-ho's arm thickness, making the sound of meshing gears. From his finger joints to his forearms, and down below his elbows. Unbreakably fitted, the gauntlets wrapped tightly around his flesh and bone, fixed securely as if born as a part of his body from the start. Tingle. A strange energy surged through his veins. It was mana.…

Chapter 4 Even the sensation touching his feet was distinctly different. Instead of sticky mud dust and unpleasant filth, a cool, hard stone floor supported the soles of his shoes. Chan-ho froze in place, suppressing even the sound of his breathing. In the center of the exquisite ancient stone chamber where a faint blue light flowed, an old treasure chest holding countless years exuded a heavy presence. If it were an ordinary hunter, their eyes would have flipped at the windfall appearing right before…

Chapter 3 The sharp blade cut into the thick hide of the goblin. With a sickening popping sound, the foul, fishy stench characteristic of rotten entrails spewed out. Lim Chan-ho, squatting on the ground, nonchalantly rummaged through the corpse's belly. Fumbling through the blood-pooled organs, his fingertips caught on a small, murky-glowing mana stone. It was when he skillfully extracted the mana stone, stowed it in his pouch, and stood up. "Ugh." With a short groan, Chan-ho unconsciously clutched…

A damp, unpleasant humidity sticky with moisture filled the narrow cave. Along with the sound of water dripping from the moss on the ceiling, the sour smell of bloody stench vibrated from the goblin corpses strewn across the floor. "Whew." Lim Chan-ho let out a short breath and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. In front of him were five or six goblins lying dead, haphazardly piled on top of one another. They were traces left behind after the advance team of hunters had swept through roughly.…

Chapter 2 "Good job, everyone. Those who have unpacked, line up over here." The raid leader’s dry voice echoed loudly across the open clearing at the dungeon entrance. Lim Chan-ho took off his gloves, which were heavily caked with blood and dirt, and stuffed them into a corner of his backpack. After rolling his stiff, aching shoulders a few times to loosen them up, he stepped toward the end of the settlement line. The dreadful, disgusting mana stone mining work was finally over. The nauseating, fishy…

Chapter 12 The first thought that came to mind was this. ‘I’m screwed.’ And the second thought was this. Something…… feels a little off. “Laura. Don’t you think this is a little strange?” “What is? The fact that you suddenly became the center of everyone’s attention overnight? That seems like a perfectly natural development to me.” “No, not that. I mean the composition of this photograph. How should I put it……? Isn’t it a little too…… perfect?” The…-

Chapter 11 “Come to think of it, you worked all night yesterday, too! Health is the most important thing for a pregnant woman. You should really cut back on your work for a while. Especially when you might have a child growing inside you……” A child? Seriously? “Laura. Please calm down. Do you really think getting pregnant is that easy?” “But still! They say you have to look up at the sky to reach the stars. And…… you did look up at that star, didn’t you? Holding hands tightly…

Chapter 10 Gasp, that is…… The moment I caught a glimpse of the turquoise satin box between his fingers, I froze. There was no way I wouldn’t recognize it as the box from the most prestigious accessory shop in the capital of Orden. He placed the palm-sized box on the table, looking unmistakably significant, then quietly stared at me—as if he wanted to savor my reaction. “Getting married right away would be too sudden and burdensome, wouldn’t it? So, for now……” For…
