A moan echoes through the room.

With a harsh scream, the sky stood up.

“Heh heh… . Ugh… .”

She was drenched in sweat, wearing only her underwear.

“Ha. Fuck.”

With harsh swear words, she opened the bottle and drank it.

The rough pouring of water ran down her lips, but she seemed to be possessed by something, and was concentrating on drinking the water without paying any attention.

She exhaled once more and finally regained her composure.

She picks her breath as if it’s not just once or twice.

Since that day, I have been going through it every day.

The face that cried out.

-What the hell… why… .

An vainly distorted face.

I still vividly remember the feeling of betrayal as the emotions disappeared.

Why?

“Fuck… .”

You don’t know.

-Is your reason for unrequited love?

Remembering Kim Jong-soo’s words, Seo Ha-neul contorted her face.

That’s right.

He liked Lee Rowoon.

But there were other people by his side, and there were times when he resented it.

A voice like the sighing of Seo Ha-neul.

“I didn’t mean to… .”

He had vowed to give up on Lee Ro-Woon.

I didn’t want to lose the name Dank, although I didn’t have a good one.

Also beneficial as a brother who grew up together since childhood.

-Seo Ha-neul. Be careful.

I had no intention of betraying him.

“What was it covered with?”

She wiped off her sweat and put on her clothes.

“It won’t be enough, but… .”

There were countless large scars on her exposed skin.

“I live with quite a bit of pain.”

I’ve already heard it.

It is said that Rowoon Lee, who was sentenced to labor at the volcanic corpse disposal site, died in an accident, and Shinhong Kim was also treated as dead.

I have no way of knowing what happened to the rest.

“I’d rather it be a rest for him.”

Seo Ha-neul wearing all her clothes and smiling bitterly.

She knows it’s nonsense.

Putting the life of a loved one in mud and thinking that his death was liberation was only self-consolation to calm the still pounding heart.

Still, there is only one reason to calm my heart.

“I will survive. So, I will pay the full price for that crime.”

The point was that he was still being punished.

Every day, every hour, every minute, every second is painful.

Responsibly, the day that started again was a prelude to ruining his past, and he had to divulge the name of the person he loved with a stigma.

“For sure… .”

With a promise of something, she returned to her original expression and left the hotel room.

Clearly.

She was knocking on the door of another room.

“Enter.”

She opened the door.

“Are you still sleeping?”

Seo Ha-neul said harshly as she opened the door.

Unlike his nightmares, he can’t sleep well, but Kim Jong-soo, who takes on the role of Lee Rowoon, has developed a habit of not being able to wake up once he falls asleep.

That’s why I come here every time to wake up.

“Do it in moderation. Then even me… .”

Seo Ha-neul entered the room and slowly closed her mouth.

“Are you awake?”

Kim Jong-soo, who thought he was sleeping, was sitting in a chair as if nailed down and looking out the window.

“What are you doing?”

But Seo Ha-neul felt something strange.

Every time he came in to wake him up, Kim Jong-soo, who had been swearing at him, was just staring out the window without saying anything.

“Hey. Kim Jong-soo… !”

She felt something uneasy and grabbed Kim Jong-soo’s shoulder.

Seo Ha-neul takes a step backwards in surprise.

“I would have told you not to call that name.”

Seo Ha-neul woke up to the voice.

Kim Jong-soo was the same.

A look that resembles the usual rough side, and the good old one.

But those eyes frightened me for a moment.

“The West Sky.”

The sky trembled again at the voice calling out to him.

There was no other voice or tone.

But, for some reason, I didn’t think that the uncomfortable feeling would go away.

Seo Ha-neul carefully placed her hand on her waist.

“Weren’t we supposed to go to the Mars gate today?”

But I stopped at the voice I heard again.

“It would be late at this rate.”

Kim Jong-soo and Seo Ha-neul are the only new Dank members who know today’s schedule.

“I don’t care, but won’t they let you go?”

In addition to that, he mentions them as well.

“What did you eat wrong this morning?”

Seo Ha-neul exhales a breath of relief.

“You were surprised.”

“… … Nope.”

Something inexplicable discomfort.

And a strange feeling that I felt for a moment.

“Then why are you awake in the morning?”

“Perfect acting.”

Yesterday I ordered Lee Rowoon to play perfectly.

“That’s right. It was.”

It was just as Kim Jong-soo said.

He was always the first to wake up.

If there was a gate attack that day, it was beneficial to get up first, adjust the condition, and prepare everything so that the teammates would not get hurt.

The figure that showed what a leader should do and what a leader is.

“Good job.”

Seo Ha-neul smiled bitterly and headed for the door.

“Come out on time. Today’s schedule is going to be pretty tight.”

As she left the door, she touched my heart.

The beating heart doesn’t stop.

I didn’t understand.

No matter how much I told him to play Lee Rowoon yesterday, I didn’t know he would do the same.

It wasn’t like getting up early and getting ready.

The tone and voice are different, but I remember those eyes and feelings.

Any doubt.

But Seo Ha-neul immediately shook her head.

“What are you thinking? That guy is dead.”

It is clear that Kim Jong-soo has just come to his senses.

“We have to attack three gates today.”

Seo Ha-neul, who also managed the schedule in the past, said to the members of Dank.

Beside him, there were no former members.

As in the past, it was a dank in the form of a minority elite.

I couldn’t find anything resembling the atmosphere of the past.

Members who answered firmly.

“Okay?”

There is no answer, no, no, Kim Jong-soo.

“Don’t bother answering multiple times.”

Everything was different from the danks of the past.

Seo Ha-neul had to erase everything about her.

Because it was known that their colleagues were murdered by Lee Rowoon, their survival was a complete secret.

“And when it’s over, there’s a meeting between the small player guilds. I invited Dank, so I have to go.”

“Did we participate in such a meeting?”

Seo Ha-neul flinched.

It’s never happened before.

I have never participated in such a meeting.

“But you have to.”

It’s different from the past.

“Yesterday they told me to do it perfectly.”

“You can’t do that perfectly. you know What is our role?”

“I got it.”

Soon, the new Dank has entered the magic map of Hwaseong, Gyeonggi, where the newly created gate is close.

A lot of players had already gathered to enter the gate.

“It’s Dank.”

They recognized Dank and whispered.

Some even came up to me and asked to shake hands.

Some also added a few more words.

“There is no way Mr. Lee Ro-Won could be a fellow killer.”

“But how the hell did you get back?”

The next question.

“Guild leader.”

Seo Ha-neul approached them as if they were busy and tried to separate the two of them.

“And what was it like there?”

A series of questions.

“You must hurry. You miss the gate attack.”

Seo Ha-neul warned me not to answer.

“It was hell.”

Lee Rowoon opened her mouth.

The face of the western sky that hardens on him.

“Hell… ?”

Until now, many people have asked a lot of questions from the newly appeared Dank and Lee Rowoon, but Lee Woon has been evading the answer.

Most of them thought it was to see the volcano.

But at last, Lee Rowoon opened his mouth.

The players who saw the scene began to gather.

“What are you doing?”

Seo Ha-neul whispered a small whisper to Yi-woon.

“Hell?”

“I have never been given a proper meal.”

“Hey… .”

“Once a day, I used to collect leftovers.”

All players gathered.

Lee Rowoon said calmly.

“Do you know how the corpse of a monster decomposes?”

The player, who seemed to be overwhelmed by Lee Rowoon’s words, shook his head.

Most players don’t know how to deal with monster corpses.

The monster corpses created as a result of the attack are left behind, and later the association moves the corpses, sets a price, and delivers them to the player.

There was no way to dispose of the corpse on its own unless it was on a large scale like a volcano.

“Spout deadly poison. I feel like my body is burning, and my intestines are aching.”

“But after a day or two, you get used to it.”

“Are you developing a tolerance?”

Lee Rowoon laughs.

“I can’t. If the player’s core has been destroyed, can there be any tolerances? It’s going to be paralyzed.”

“Player Core… Destroyed?”

“This is ridiculous… .”

“Are you even doing that?”

“Isn’t that a deterrent?”

There is a commotion.

Seo Ha-neul grabbed Lee Rowoon’s wrist.

“When you become paralyzed like that, your mind starts to become clearer. The pain caused by poison, if you touch the magic stone without a core… .”

Lee Rowoon rolled up her arms.

Stained marks from burns.

One part of the forearm had turned completely red.

It wasn’t a minor injury at first glance.

“Stay alert, starve, and dispose of dead bodies every day. You can never get used to that pain, and if you rest even a little, the whip… .”

“Stop it.”

Seo Ha-neul said, unable to bear it.

Then the question flew in.

“If the core is destroyed, how are you here?”

Player cores do not regenerate once destroyed.

It’s like a player’s life, so it’s impossible to replace it.

Then everyone’s eyes turned to Yi Rowoon.

“This is a joke. Joke.”

Laughing is beneficial.

“We have a lot of work to do.”

After saying that, Lee Rowoon hastened her steps.

The players reacted as if something was not resolved, but I thought Lee Rowoon’s words were a joke.

Players who wanted to ask another question.

Qwaaang-!

There was a loud noise in the distance.

“Get down!”

They hurriedly shouted and fell flat on the floor.

The wave that followed, swept everyone and created a gust of wind.

The players who didn’t know what this meant were those who didn’t even qualify as players.

“It’s a gate break!”

A gate break that explodes when the gate’s magical power reaches its limit.

“Damn it. Why all of a sudden… !”

The players who were still unable to stand up in the aftermath could not hide their astonishment.

A gate break is a disaster.

At that time, there was a player who stood up through the storm of magic.

As Lee Rowoon walked out through the gust of wind, Seo Ha-neul, who was panicking, finally got up.

“Guild Leader!”

Seo Ha-neul, who ran as if running towards Lee Rowoon, spoke to Lee Rowoon with a harsh voice.

“What are you doing! You crazy bastard!”

This was an unexpected surprise.
