The monster may have been slow, but there was no way to stop it from moving where it wanted. Just what in the world was its body made of? Boom! Bang! Even after countless espers unleashed attacks on it, not a single scratch appeared on its body. “Do everything you can to slow it down! We need to buy time!” Dojin led the espers in focusing all their efforts on impeding the monster’s movement. It was the best they could do for now. The other espers gritted their teeth and continued…-

The espers, sensing they couldn’t avoid the monster’s gaze, lit flames across the area. It was a battle they would have to face anyway, so it was best to eliminate unnecessary variables. Thanks to that, they were finally able to see the monster’s form more clearly, no longer hidden in darkness. Grrrrrr From the creature’s gaping mouth spilled dark red blood, along with chunks of flesh and fragments of bone. Its howl was enough to rupture eardrums. Even Dojin grimaced and covered one ear…-

That night, no one slept a wink. Not knowing when the monster might reappear, everyone stayed on high alert. It wasn’t until dawn began to break that people slowly began to let their guard down. Even so, the sky remained overcast with dark clouds, making it no brighter than early evening. Still, it felt like they had gotten through a major hurdle. Sehun approached Dojin, who was silently tending his spear while leaning against the wall of the Safe Zone. “Do you think that monster was the boss…-

With solemn expressions, the exploration team had set out, but they returned only half a day later, empty-handed. “This is strange. It’s too quiet.” All they could see around them were sheer cliffs, mountains, snowdrifts, and heavy, dark clouds. At first, the absence of monsters had been a relief. But as the hours passed without encountering a single thing, the silence began to feel ominous. “There’s just too much snow to find any traces.” The unrelenting blizzard seemed…-

Before he knew it, Dojin’s hands had clenched tightly into fists. His knuckles trembled. His short nails dug into his palms, but he felt no pain. Only heartache. He looked at Jiho with reddening eyes, gritting his teeth. “……” As if sensing Dojin’s gaze, Jiho turned to him with the same smiling face. “…Hyung!” A brighter smile bloomed over his clear features. Jiho asked the people around him for a moment and ran straight over to Dojin. He rushed right up to him and threw…-

Kwak Jiheon sat with his secretary in the viewing seats overlooking the training field. On one side of the room, a cluster of espers sat together, and in the center stood Baek Dojin, facing off against a swarm of S-class monsters generated by the simulation system. “Weren’t they all supposed to be training?” “Uh… yes. That’s what I saw when I checked…” Jiheon and his secretary exchanged awkward looks. Regardless, Dojin began skillfully swinging a spear taller than himself as he…-

Kwak Jiheon, Dojin, and Jiho returned to the Director’s office. Lost in his own thoughts, Kwak Jiheon didn’t even realize that Dojin and Jiho had followed him in. ‘Now that I think about it… Things weren’t all that hopeful for the espers either.’ The training room he visited every day always held a certain brightness, a hopeful energy. Especially after the recent boom in reawakenings, the mood had been more optimistic than ever. But looking back, not everyone had been training with the…-

“<My Guide, unlike me, doesn’t have any memories of the first life and only experienced the Final Dungeon in the second. But since he was a Guide, he probably doesn’t know much about combat.>” As Dojin continued speaking, the foreigners in the video began turning their attention toward Jiho. Jiho perked up at the sound of his name. Then, for the first time, Korean was heard from beyond the screen. “How about it, Guide Seo Jiho?” Dojin frowned slightly, clearly displeased…-

As Dojin’s abilities improved, his anxiety also began to fade. “Wouldn’t it be better to cut back on training a bit and get some counseling instead?” Jiho, who had been waiting for the right moment, seized the opportunity to recommend counseling to Dojin.He even started nagging, saying mental stability would help in combat, and Dojin couldn’t ignore that opinion.The threat that followed the nagging was surprisingly sharp, too. “If you don’t get counseling!” “…If I…-

The next morning. Dojin blinked awake, squinting against the faint morning light falling over his eyelids. Where… He saw a familiar ceiling. Realizing he was in his own bedroom, he tried to piece things together through his groggy mind. When did I fall asleep? He instinctively tried to sit up, but then heard a soft whimpering noise above him. Only then did he realize that Jiho was sprawled across his body, fast asleep. No wonder the blanket had felt oddly heavy. Jiho had one cheek…-
