“Months, or years?” Yohan grew despondent at the vast, unfathomable length of time, but he forced himself to stay positive. If he hadn’t met Lee Hyunmook, he would’ve been shredded to death by that murderous eyeball monster. He needed to be thankful just to be alive. “Yes, Mr. Lee Hyunmook! Let’s hang in there together!” When Yohan spoke with renewed spirit, Hyunmook stared at him blankly, as if watching some alien lifeform moving in an unfamiliar way. Truthfully, even in his sane…- 297.5 K • Completed
- The way he reacted was like someone who had forgotten his own name for a very long time. Yohan instinctively sensed something was wrong. The same question that had haunted him before he lost consciousness returned to his mind: Was this really a human being? Not just some thing pretending to be human? He groped along the ground to support himself, but before he could even spring to his feet, Lee Hyunmook grabbed him. The crushing grip around his arm felt like a hydraulic press, and Yohan screamed…

- Yohan had wanted to awaken and become independent, to finally show his family, who had always looked down on him, what he was capable of. That’s why he resolved to risk it all and enter a rift with a high awakening probability. As it happened, Park Seungmin claimed to know some people and introduced him to a mercenary team. They were what you’d call an “awakening party for hire”, a team that ran paid awakenings for others. To Yohan, the group didn’t seem problematic. They appeared fairly…

- A Lamb Cast into the Abyss “Hngh….” Yohan held his breath and swallowed a sob. And who could blame him? Just beyond the glass wall he was pressed against, a massive eyeball was peering inside. It was surreal, yet this horrifying scene was undeniably real. Tears streamed down his cheeks as he clamped a hand over his mouth to stifle any sound, his knuckles turning white. The floor beneath him was wet. Alarmed, he glanced down to check if he’d wet himself, and the little color remaining in…

- Lee Hyunmook, who had awakened in an instant and rescued Yohan from Yoon Seungryong’s grasp, casually brushed the back of Yohan’s neck where he’d been grabbed. After confirming there were no injuries, he greeted him as if nothing had happened. “How’s your body feeling?” “I-I’m okay. I think I slept really well… but, um, Mr. Yoon Seungryong is awake…” “Yeah, looks like it.” Lee Hyunmook didn’t even glance at Seungryong, who was still rolling around on the living room…

- “Ah! W-what was that?” Yohan flinched as a strange sensation rippled through him. Where Lee Hyunmook’s fingertips pressed against his leg, something unexplainably odd stirred, like a ticklish tingling, or his muscles spasming on their own. As Hyunmook pressed firmly against a knot in his calf, he asked, “It’s called EMS (Electrical Muscular Stimulation), like a low-frequency massage. Doesn’t hurt, does it? It works by sending a faint current through the muscle to loosen it…

- After a deep, dreamless sleep, Yohan shot upright the moment he opened his eyes. Rubbing his swollen lids, he scrambled out of the sleeping bag. “Ah, um, I was supposed to take a shift… I’m sorry, did I sleep too long? Please, you should get some rest now.” There was no sense of day or night in the Abyss, and since Lee Hyunmook hadn’t woken him, Yohan had ended up sleeping much longer than intended. But instead of sleeping, Lee Hyunmook calmly rolled up Yohan’s half-asleep body in the…

- *** “Ah! An apple!” Yohan raised his hand high and shouted with joy. In his hand was a fairly large apple. With Lee Hyunmook back in his frenzied state and the risk of Yoon Seungryong bursting out of the cave, Yohan had decided to keep some distance from it. He somehow managed to find his way back to the stump they had used as a temporary shelter. But that was it, he didn’t know the way forward or back, and to make matters worse, they had run out of emergency rations. After going hungry…

- To gather ingredients, the two of them returned to their shelter. On the way back, Yohan stopped by a rice field he had taken note of earlier. Sure enough, the plants there were squirming vigorously, some appeared sentient, others seemed highly poisonous. Buoyed by the success of purifying the apple, Yohan exclaimed, “There might be some decent leafy greens to eat here. If we’re going to lure Mr. Yoon Seungryong, we should prepare a proper spread.” “Alright. Then stay here for a…

- Too busy gnawing on the platform soaked with pork scent, Yoon Seungryong didn’t respond. Lee Hyunmook spotted a large chunk of cave wall lying nearby, picked it up, and tested its weight in his hand. Then, without hesitation, he hurled it straight at Yoon Seungryong. It didn’t just go thwack, it landed with a sound like an explosion as it smashed into the back of Yoon Seungryong’s head. SCREEEEECH! The centipede monster flailed violently, half-collapsing over the platform in pain. Even Yohan,…
