“Y-you’re giving me water… right? Thank you…” Yohan looked around in a panic, then awkwardly leaned forward. Holding the unknown object in his hand, he carefully licked it. Something like mineral water trickled down, cooling his lips and the base of his neck. “Mm, nng…” Yohan gulped the water down as if his life depended on it. The tormenting thirst finally eased, and he felt a bit more alive. In this case, not seeing anything might have been a blessing. A fully grown adult sucking…- 297.5 K • Completed
- *** “It’s been so long since I had squid. Isn’t there any chojang? Chojang1?” Seo Yakrin smacked her lips as she stared at the squid Yoon Seungryong was slicing. The flesh bounced up with a soft pop with every cut. Even Yohan, who had recoiled earlier at the grotesque monster’s appearance, found himself swallowing hungrily in front of the perfectly blanched squid. Instead of vinegar, a spicy-sweet sauce had been served with it. After being purified by Yohan, the squid’s flesh was thick…

- Grrrrr- In that instant, Yohan heard a groan that no human ear could detect. The monsters couldn’t withstand the purifying energy that pierced through the core like a comet, and they fell away in droves. Sparks, like those from welding, crackled in Yohan’s blazing eyes. Yohan’s energy and the core mingled and burst outward, sending nauseating black-and-white ripples in all directions. Each time Yohan’s light drove in like a wedge, black ichor of the Flood oozed endlessly from the core. Things…

- Yohan poured as much purification into Lee Hyunmook as he could while running. Even as he did, monstrous shrieks echoed from all directions, and heavy impacts thudded against the ice walls. In the blink of an eye, they had covered half the distance to their target through the ice corridor. But the real problem came next. Before they could break all the way through, the ice wall came crashing down. Monsters of unidentifiable origin howled as they poured into the corridor. “Yohan-gun!” As Lee…

- *** Lee Chanha heard the full account of what had happened, including the now-stained Black Mountain and the unidentified core at the heart of the Abyss, he fell into deep thought. “So my role is to protect Yohan-gun right?” Yohan’s heart fluttered a little. Lee Hyunmook, Yoon Seungryong, and Seo Yakrin were the three damage dealers. Ju Hoyoung was the support. Then came Lee Chanha as the tank, and finally Yohan himself as the healer. It was a flawless team composition with no missing roles.…

- “Um, shall we eat?!” At Yohan’s words, Yoon Seungryong, who had been lying around listlessly, suddenly shot up and began preparing the meal. When everything was set on the table, to Yohan’s surprise, there were fried vegetables and meat. He had seen Seungryong rummaging around for ingredients lately, but frying? Yohan’s eyes and mouth both flew open in amazement. “How did you manage to make oil?!” “If you squeeze hard enough, anything will give you oil.” Yoon Seungryong…

- “Excuse me, excuse me?” Yohan ignored the woman’s voice that kept calling after him and continued walking. By now, he could tell. This had to be another of Lee Chanha’s hallucinations. This woman, too, was just another figment of illusion. Yet even knowing that, the hallucination still felt too real. It was as if he were really standing in a subway station somewhere in Korea. The cool underground passage, office workers on their commute, whether to or from work, he couldn’t tell. The sweet…

- Lee Hyunmook eyes widened for a moment at the uncharacteristic reaction, he chuckled and pulled Yohan into his arms. He let out a long sigh like he had just emerged from a prolonged nightmare, Yohan finally shifted his gaze elsewhere. It seemed that the only one who had managed to remain sane inside Lee Chanha’s hallucination was Lee Hyunmook. Ju Hoyoung, who had conjured up an ice castle that could rival any famous animated film, stood frozen in a daze. Seo Yakrin dragged her massive, crooked wings…

- <6> The Last “Ugh…” Through the pounding headache, Yohan regained consciousness. When he finally managed to lift his heavy eyelids, he saw the familiar sky of the Abyss. “Hyunmook hyung…?” Out of habit, Yohan called out for Lee Hyunmook first. But the one who always stayed by his side was nowhere to be seen. Jolted awake, Yohan shot up from where he lay. There was no one around. Not just Lee Hyunmook, but none of the others either. “Seungryong hyung? Yakrin noona?…

- Before they could take a closer look, the paper airplane made of light crumpled in a monster’s hand and vanished. Fortunately, Yohan wasn’t the only one who saw it, Lee Hyunmook had seen it too. With glowing red eyes, he stared into the darkness for a long time, as if it were as clear as day. “Yeah, Yohan-ah. I saw it too. Maybe this place… might be the very heart of the Abyss.” “The heart… of the Abyss?” Ju Hoyoung flinched in shock and looked again beyond the gap. He stared into…
