CHAPTERS
I tried so hard to run away, I wanted to run away, but in the end, I grew tired and collapsed. Even as I stared blankly up at the sky, which had given me nothing but rain clouds, no answers came. There was no path anywhere. No matter how hard I racked my brain to recall every bit of game knowledge, I couldn’t find a way to cut off the cancerous demon clinging to me. Even at this very moment, it was gnawing at my heart. I might die tomorrow. If I’m lucky, I’ll just die. More likely, I’ll…- 183.7 K • Completed
- The message Yurichen sent through the artifact asked if he had seen Riarun. Penzey let out a bitter smile. ‘If I had seen Riarun, that would be a whole other disaster. If Riarun were here, I mean.’ They were the ones who had thrown him in front of the temple to block the incoming demon forces during the purification ritual. Among them were even the worst of the worst — traitorous mutants who had injected themselves with the blood of monsters. With physical abilities surpassing humans, they…

- The true knights of the duchy scrambled to hunt down and eliminate the remaining members of the demon-worshiping cult. Those who had disguised themselves as knights were either killed or captured. The situation had been so dire that even the retired, elderly priests had to come out personally to treat the injured civilians. “Through the confession of the host, it was revealed that he was both the host and the summoner. Aside from the host-summoner, thirty-eight others willingly participated in…

- The power given by the spirits could protect life, but it was not allowed to harm it. While it could block swords and deflect magic, it couldn’t sharpen the green waves to pierce an enemy’s body. Damn game. Couldn’t you at least give spirit magic some decent combat functions! If Banwes were here, he would’ve blasted these guys away easily. As he ran for his life, Riarun suddenly thought that. At the very beginning, it had been Riarun who saved Banwes in the Byahil Forest. That was…

- Banwes stood blankly, repeatedly recalling that face that wouldn’t leave his mind. Before he knew it, the sun had set. Bzhan had long since disappeared, but Banwes hadn’t even noticed. Slowly lifting his stiff legs like a stone statue, Banwes stepped into the house. A long corridor unfolded before him. He stopped in front of the door Riarun had closed behind him. Pressing his ear to the door and concentrating, he could sense a faint presence only he could perceive. He couldn’t open the door…

- Stay calm. I have to listen to this like it’s nothing. I already know this information from the game—why am I suddenly so nervous? “If the host is separated while they still have the strength to resist the demon, it’s relatively peaceful. But once the demon fully consumes the host, it becomes uncontrollable. From that point on, the host is called a ‘demon seed.’” “Ah, that’s like a really nasty insult. The kind you throw at the absolute worst people,” Paronai chimed in…

- When Banwes returned to the room, blood dripping from his hand, I couldn’t say anything. He and I passed each other like strangers seeing each other for the first time. Banwes pulled a bandage from his pack and began wrapping his hand. I sat in silence, clenching my fists. What happens if his artifact breaks now? I hurriedly skimmed through the game’s storyline in my mind. Was there another point where Banwes’s artifact was needed? Yurichen only lifted the restrictions on Bzhan’s and…

- Yurichen, who had stayed awake, welcomed us back. “Are you hurt?” There were red marks scattered across Paronai’s body. At a glance, they looked serious — but unlike Sisen, who had been severely impaired, Paronai only had some light scratches. Besides, I had already healed him earlier using the power of the trees. “I’m fine. Ria healed me.” Yurichen’s gaze shifted to me. Feeling like I had done something wrong, I immediately looked away, giving off a strong “I’m being…

- “I’ve always hated how you kept pretending to be kind and pure, smiling like an idiot. So what if you were top of the class? Even when facing a criminal who absolutely deserves to die, you’d hesitate and mess everything up in the worst possible way.” As Paronai parried Sisen’s relentless strikes, memories from the past flashed before his eyes. It was from two years ago. On the way to a subjugation training with his classmates, they were attacked by bandits. Standing back-to-back…

- By now, I understood it too —the probability of Banwes following me wherever I went was extremely high. Because he was tasked with protecting me, making sure I didn’t die. I could tell just by how he helped shoulder the burden of the demon that dwelled within me. ‘Even after doing all that for me, he still can’t say a single kind word.’ Not that I was upset about it. I knew better than anyone that Banwes had lived his life with almost no interaction with others. How could I not…
