Sharhan followed right after. Thanks to most of the corpses having been lured to the back by the noise, only five remained at the front. Even those five had been heading toward the back but twisted their heads at an unnatural angle at the sound of the front door opening, spotted Sharhan and Lestel, then turned and charged. Smack! Sharhan and Lestel decapitated the charging corpses, whose yellowing teeth were bared in a festering snarl. Each time Lestel’s axe sank into a corpse’s head and was…- 264.3 K • Completed
- As the door of one of the houses swung open, a man leaned out and waved frantically for them to hurry. Without a moment to wonder who he was, Sharhan and Lestel sprinted in his direction. When the man saw how many corpses were chasing them, he clicked his tongue and disappeared back inside the house. A moment later, he returned with several objects that looked like traps in his hands. Stepping forward in a crouch, he hurled one of the contraptions to the ground, it spun in the air and landed with a…

- Chapter 7. Serman Sharhan raised a finger to his lips, then jerked his chin forward, signaling Lestel to look ahead. Beyond an overturned, abandoned carriage, a swarm of corpses had gathered, writhing like a mass of insects. At least three dense clusters of corpses had formed, round and bulging like balls. Their bodies twitched constantly, but it was obvious what they were doing even without getting closer. They were devouring a human they had hunted. Not wanting to draw their attention with…

- Just as expected. “Since when did you suspect?” “Since I heard there was a bounty on you for stealing the family heirloom. That made me think of the Ice Cave, and it started to feel like your family might’ve been established to guard the ruins. The Kaios family didn’t just contribute to the war against monsters but played a huge role in founding the Empire too, ever wonder why they were granted an arid territory like Katun?” Katun was a poor territory. After even the mine that brought…

- “Serman’s lord… You mean the Marquis of Ailun?!” Lestel, who had been listening silently to the conversation between Sharhan and Gilbert, suddenly cut in. He was startled by the sudden mention of his father’s name. “That’s right.” “Why on earth is the Marquis of Ailun collecting amethysts?” “Who knows. Just before the world went to shit, our guild got a request. If we brought amethysts, we’d be guaranteed food and safety. Back then, the reward wasn’t gold, so we…

- They caught their breath, then widened their eyes as they recognized Sharhan. He shook his head slightly, signaling them not to say anything yet. Clang, bang! The door, which had looked like it might burst open at any second under the pounding force, finally went quiet after a long while. The group, frozen in place to avoid drawing attention from the corpses outside, finally spoke. “Didn’t expect to see you again here. Must be fate. I regretted parting without saying a proper goodbye… Good…

- “Someone you know?” “We spent the night together two days ago. He said he was from around here and knew the way to the villa, so we were heading there when we got separated.” “No way he stripped himself in this cold… Looks like someone did this.” “Don’t know if they killed him before or after stripping him, but his throat was slit.” “They… cut off flesh.” Lestel, frowning, pointed at Teddy’s thigh. There was a clean, circular cut where the inner flesh had been…

- “…….” The answer was silence. Like someone caught in a drizzle after suffering from thirst, the hand that had been caressing bare skin came to a sudden stop. Sharhan, who had tossed out the question like it was nothing, gradually furrowed his brows. ‘What, have you slept with so many people you can’t even answer?’ He had been pissed before too. But back then, he hadn’t realized his feelings yet, so he’d just thought, ‘I haven’t even kissed anyone, but that bastard Lestel’s…

- “…….” “I love you, Shan.” The words that finally spilled from Lestel’s mouth and reached Sharhan’s heart were, I love you. Sharhan blinked in a daze. The air itself seemed to slow, and even the wind felt like it had stopped. In reality, the wind had only grown stronger, scattering their hair in all directions, but it felt as if the entire world around them had frozen in place. The only sounds were their hearts pounding against each other’s…

- The villa was located at the foot of the mountain, so Sharhan had never expected it to be unscathed. Even Teddy’s house, which had been much farther away, had collapsed under the massive avalanche. He’d expected the damage to the villa to be severe, but seeing it with his own eyes left him speechless. “……” Sharhan stared blankly at the remains of the villa, or rather, the snowy mound that used to be the villa. The snow covering it looked like a white hill. All the strength drained from…
