The Eternal Stone, now rendered transparent by Yohan’s purification, slowly spread its light and stripped the filth from the surrounding rock. It looked as though the stones were being awakened one by one by the stimulation. I hope this doesn’t cause trouble later… Scratching his cheek, Yohan chose the flattest part of the ground and curled up. He stared blankly at the endlessly beautiful Eternal Stone cavern. If I mined all of this, I’d be filthy rich.He tried calculating how much Eternal Stone…- 297.5 K • Completed
- Yohan let out a belated “Ah!” as he suddenly realized something. When Hyunmook had shown up to rescue him earlier, he’d been so overwhelmed with joy that he’d called him Hyunmook-hyung. Before he could say anything else, Lee Hyunmook lifted Yohan into his arms and stood up. Yohan was about to ask him to put him down, but instead, he closed his mouth and wrapped his arms tightly around Hyunmook’s neck. The fear and loneliness he’d felt over the past few days were too great, he never wanted to…

- They walked and walked without end. Even though Yohan was now a high-level awakener and confident in his stamina, the sheer size of the plain was beyond belief. Only after walking for what felt like forever were they finally able to secure a shelter. It was an enormous, ancient tree that looked like it had just died. Birds that had been feasting on its wailing fruit like a banquet straight out of a horror movie turned and screeched menacingly. But after a few bolts of lightning flashed across the sky,…

- “Sparrow…” At the soft mumble, the hazy focus in Yoon Seungryong’s eyes, dimmed by memory, slowly returned. His gaze drifted to Yang Yohan, sound asleep beside Lee Hyunmook inside the tree. Yohan mumbled something unintelligible and then let out a slow, peaceful breath. Seungryong and Ju Hoyoung stretched their necks, peering into the hollow of the ancient tree. Just as Yohan had visibly relaxed upon seeing them, they, too, seemed to let their guard down only after confirming he’d returned…

- *** When Yohan stirred with a contented sigh and slowly opened his eyes, what he saw was the obsidian cave. No–this wasn’t obsidian. It was… an Eternal Stone cavern, the hardest material in the world. Panic gripped him as he looked around, wide-eyed. ‘Hyunmook-hyung definitely rescued me… so why am I back here?’ Hadn’t he pierced through the ceiling and pulled him out? Then why was he here again? Had he been dragged back while sleeping? Terrified, Yohan desperately reminded himself:…

- *** According to Lee Hyunmook, life in the area they called the Reed Sea zone was mind-numbingly monotonous. Understandably so, everywhere you looked, it was nothing but endless grass and reeds. Aside from the occasional monster leaping out from hiding in the reed forests or the unsettling cries of strange birds flying overhead, it was eerily quiet. The only real upside was that the seeds of vegetables and fruits they’d brought from the Japanese zone, now hardened and more resilient due to…

- “The start of the Reed Sea….” Even though it was called a sea, all Yohan could see was a vast plain of reeds stretching out in every direction. As the wind blew, the uniformly tall reeds swayed gently. Even though he’d already heard an explanation of the Reed Sea, Yohan tilted his head in confusion until Lee Hyunmook grabbed his arm to stop him. “One wrong step and you could fall, so be careful.” “Ah, okay!” Yohan obediently stuck close to him. Lee Hyunmook stirred the ground…

- “Those are white termites?!” Well, for starters, they weren’t white at all. Their swollen bellies were brightly colored in all kinds of hues. The termites looked like tiny Christmas lights with legs, and they swarmed toward Yoon Seungryong. There must have been hundreds, no, thousands of them. Even from a safe distance, Yohan recoiled in disgust and stepped farther back. “Poison against poison, I guess. Uh… what do you call this again?” The termites, like little bulbs, were crawling…

- “Gasp. Mr. Ju Hoyoung?” As soon as another Sunrise Team member was mentioned, Yohan clenched his fists in excitement. Ju Hoyoung was the youngest member of the team and the only support, meaning he and Yohan likely shared a lot of common ground. Yoon Seungryong rubbed his chin. “But I wonder if Hoyoung is still alive. He’s a support, so his endurance is weak.” “He’s quick on his feet. He was alive at least ten… no, eleven months ago. He’s not the type to die so…

- *** “I’m sorry.” After spending several days slumped in a haze with no will to do anything, Yoon Seungryong had finally come to his senses today thanks to Yohan’s purification. Bowing deeply, he pressed his forehead to the ground in apology. “I really have no excuse. I’m truly sorryyy.” “It’s okay, Seungryong-hyung. It happens. Come on, come eat.” “Do I even deserve to eat…” Yohan coaxed him with a wave, and though his voice was weak, Seungryong rushed to the…
