chapter 563
563 – It’s Been a While Since I Woke Up
– Beings revived by taking the elixir of life cannot defy you.
The effect of the elixir has already been confirmed.
No matter what I say, they will follow it.
However, unlike Chaeon Saeng, these people are not evil people.
Moreover, when I was working on Chaeon Saeng, the gestures he made expressing his disapproval were not very pleasant memories for me.
‘It’s done.’
There is no reason to add such restrictions.
Because efficiency doesn’t increase only if I hire people.
Clearly, these people will be able to respond well to future situations in their respective positions.
“Huh?! The message… Did I really die and come back to life?!”
“Oh my god…”
The two people couldn’t speak properly as they stared into space, wondering what information the system had officially uploaded.
“You must not tell anyone about what I have just experienced or information about me. Even if it means dying.”
They didn’t make me obey, but they had to maintain security.
“Of course.”
“It’s a lifesaver, of course-!”
‘Surely…Such feelings also fade over time.’
“Oh, and when you go to a place that looks like a beast’s nest, could you ask if I can go with you? Of course, you’ll have to say it in a polite way, not explicitly. Like, say, there’s an excellent guide.”
“Ah… I’ll try my best.”
“Well, I don’t know if Sangun will allow it.”
Arang was worried about what would happen if he couldn’t fulfill my request, and Hoyeol reacted skeptically.
Then Arang stared into space for a while, then covered her mouth and opened her eyes wide.
“The rabbit’s dance… ?!”
I couldn’t continue the conversation, but I guess there was some change in my skills as my potential increased.
“Has anything changed in you, Hoyeol?”
“······ Are you saying that there must be change?”
He narrows his eyes and asks questions back to me.
It seems like he doesn’t bother to hide that he is trying to guess my identity
When I looked straight ahead, I seemed to see the face of ‘Sangun’, whom I had seen in passing in my past life.
Hoyeol confidently doesn’t avoid my gaze.
‘This guy. It seems like the character has changed a bit. I couldn’t even make eye contact with you just now.’
He wasn’t the type of guy to talk twisted things like this.
“Tell me something about change.”
“Are you going to obediently say everything that I tell you to say? Ugh…”
Hoyeol may have wanted to hide his abilities, but it was in vain.
You can’t disobey me.
“I gained a new skill called [Ghost’s Roar]… Damn, why am I saying this?”
“What is the skill content?”
“Casts confusion and fear on the enemy, and causes a 15% decrease in combat power for 1 minute in enemies who are not affected by a status ailment…”
“What, it’s a really good skill.”
“······ Are you telling me to bow down and express my gratitude?”
“Not really.”
As time passed, the prisoner’s changing tendencies could be confirmed.
‘I don’t know if it would be better now than when I was passive.’
Before I knew it, Hoyeol had distanced himself from me, settled down on the floor, and began training to adapt to the change.
“I’m sorry… Why is Ho-yeol like that?”
Arang bowed his head deeply and handed me an apple on his behalf.
Actually, I found it a bit embarrassing. How many times have I saved your life?
‘Still, it’s not in good taste to say something to someone who has just experienced death.’
Sometimes, when I see myself like this, I am surprised and wonder if I was this generous in my past life.
“Are there any other changes in you? Are you getting more angry than before?”
Arang seems to have grown in skill, but what I was curious about was the mental change.
“Me… I haven’t changed.”
“Hmm… Really? That’s strange. Everyone has changed-“
“One thing has changed. My feelings for you have actually become warmer.”
“······ What?”
Suddenly, she ran towards me as I tilted my head, wondering what was going on.
‘Uh…?’
Arang runs into my arms and looks up at me with her cheeks turning red.
‘No, what are you doing?’
I could have avoided it, but there was no way I could survive, so I had no choice but to watch in bewilderment for a moment.
“Alpha… I like you. I have since I first saw you. If it’s okay, will you stay with me for the rest of your life?”
A fastball full of body.
‘What is this… A sudden proposal?’
Did the change in inclination lead to a change in likability? If so, the risk of side effects of the elixir should be raised a little more.
I lightly pushed her out of her arms and said,
“I refuse. I’m not interested in that.”
My answer is a resounding refusal.
“Ah… As expected. That’s the answer I expected. But you’re so cool like that…”
“Huh…”
Arang’s eyes her her her sparkle like stars.
In my memories of my past life, there were women who sometimes looked at me with eyes like this.
And it was like this when Yeonhee looked at me. Although she felt like it contained a deeper and more mysterious Milky Way.
“Please… Yes?”
It seems like I can see hearts in my eyes.
Her long, erect ears her, her flutter continuously, creating a small breeze.
‘My eyes rolled back. I’m sure it’s turned hard.’
I saved a person’s life, but I also felt a sense of guilt and a small sense of responsibility at the thought that I had completely changed the person’s life.
‘But what can I do for you?’
“Your colleagues are waiting at the exit. They will be very surprised, so go quickly. And you will have to explain how you came back to life.
It turns out he was an illusionist or something like that. And if you ask about other dead people, just say you don’t know.”
“Well, that’s… We can do something about it. Rather, let’s go somewhere and talk a little more-“
Arang subtly tilts her upper body down and shows part of her breasts.
I was definitely out of my mind.
“I-I have places to go so I can’t. Don’t contact me except about shelter. Then, that’s enough-“
“Ahh… No! Just a moment-“
In the end, I set conditions that were almost restrictive and said goodbye to the two.
– ······!!
Arang’s cry is heard from behind.
We will definitely meet again. I will become a more wonderful woman that you will fall in love with.
‘······.’
I left those shouts behind and headed home as if running away.
* * *
“Huh? What is this?”
Something sparkling fell in front of Arin’s eyes as she lay on her medical bed with her youngest brother.
– This is an unnamed gem given by ‘Ilwol, the magic swordsman of the black flame’.
– Attack power increases significantly for one hour.
– This is an item whose effect is activated just by placing it in the subspace.
– Magic Power +20
“Ilwol? Did Ilwol have this ability?”
Looking at the suddenly boiling magic, it is true that the attack power has definitely increased.
It was a fairly high-quality item that even permanently increased magical power by 20.
Arin was startled, but her gaze soon shifted to her younger brother, who was fast asleep next to her.
The sight of her brother’s bony arm that seemed as if it would break if touched her made her heart tingle.
“I need to quickly find a way to fix you, other than a gem like this.”
She carefully held her younger brother in her arms.
It broke her heart to see her younger brother growing thinner recently, and her excitement at receiving the jewel quickly faded.
* * *
Yeonhee meets again after a few days.
“Why did you come now…”
“I’m sorry. How have you been? Did anything happen?”
“Chi…”
We filled the empty bond by unraveling the moments we had not been able to share. The longer the conversation went on, the slightly sulky Yeonhee quickly relaxed.
“I’ve been entering the Direwolf Dungeon since yesterday. I don’t think there was anything particularly difficult. There was something a little strange.”
“Something strange?”
“I haven’t seen the small gate for several days. Even if we don’t encounter it, it’s rather unsettling that a variable that used to occur once a day suddenly disappears, isn’t it?”
“Hmm… That’s possible. Hmm. Feels like the calm before the storm?”
“Yes, that’s right. That’s exactly it. But maybe it’s just my imagination, and the twins are also looking after us?”
“That’s right. I will risk my life to protect you.”
“Well, not that much. I have earrings too…”
The existence of Jeong Tae-hyung and the twins had already been told to Yeon-hee, so even considering the existence of variables, I felt reassured.
“But you know. Arin seems a little unstable these days, right?”
“Arin?”
I didn’t feel any difficulty going through the dungeon.
However, another worry arose.
“Arin… Is it because of your younger brother?”
“I think so. Could it be… Is it okay to use that elixir of life?”
“Hmm…”
Elixir of Life
– Once taken by a being full of life force, the body is restored to its perfect state and exerts unpredictable positive effects.
The explanation of the leap is not clear enough to be confident.
First of all, is Arin’s younger brother a being full of life?
‘It’s ambiguous. It would be correct if you were talking about a living being.’
However, looking at the phrase written later about the body being restored to its perfect state, it seemed like it would be effective even in a problematic state.
‘Perfect body. Just looking at the explanation, it will definitely be able to cure ‘mana disease’.’
It would be even better to think that it would even have a positive effect.
However, what is worrisome is that it is a one-time item.
‘If you use it now, there’s a high chance that you won’t be able to save it again if something happens later.’
Moreover, looking at the reaction Arang gave me today, it was impossible to know what unexpected side effects there would be.
“I think it’s probably possible… But it doesn’t mean there are no side effects. Let’s talk about it with Arin.”
“Yes! Then we’ll talk about it tomorrow… And tell me more about the person you met last called Denar. Did he really resist the power of the dungeon?”
“It was like that the last time I saw it. It’s an unbelievable monster. Even if I did, it wouldn’t have lasted much longer.”
“We still have a long way to go…”
“Well, that’s the way it is. Still, I gave him a blow. It might be difficult for him to be active right away.”
We talked for a while while lying on the bed, and before we knew it, we were kissing and making love.
“Your hair is a bit long?”
Yeonhee’s head grows faster and faster.
If you covet each other’s bodies every day, it’s easy to notice things like that.
“aaah… Haa-haa-ugh!…”
Yeonhee was unable to speak properly due to the intense movements of her and was just left to the pleasure.
It’s only been a few days, but it’s the longest I’ve held back my desires since falling in love, so it’s bound to happen.
After a fantastic night, we lie down together and look into each other’s eyes.
Even though you see the same face every day, it is a truly mysterious experience to feel different emotions every time.
I saw a lot of beauty hunters on Nando, but there wasn’t even one who was as crazy as Yeonhee.
‘Tits so big that your face is buried in them… So nice…’
“Give me the phone.”
“······ Huh?”
When the mood is good, Yeonhee suddenly asks for her cell phone
At that moment, I felt like cold water had been poured down my spine, and my crisis detection ability was activated.
‘Wait a minute, I missed something.’
Even though I reflexively handed over the phone to her command, I had an uneasy feeling as if I had forgotten something.
“Hmm~ What did Ilwol do with his phone~”
Actually, I didn’t do anything with that.
Did you watch the news for a moment and send a text message to Ha Se-rin with information about Cha Seon-saeng?
“······ Huh? With Jang?”
“······ Ah.”
