I gritted my teeth. Chae Won-u was slowly pushing away the dirt and advancing forward. I focused all five senses on listening while repeatedly clenching my fists. For now, it seemed possible to prevent Chae Won-u from dying due to heart paralysis or ruptured blood vessels. Let's concentrate immediately. It was obvious, and there was no other way. The path we were creating right now was the only viable option. The arm broke instantly. "Ah..." Sometimes, extreme pain isn't felt at first.…-

I realized it after speaking out loud. Despite wanting to draw a clear line, my words were more emotional than ever before. Embarrassed, I looked at Chae Won-u, pretending nothing happened. He quietly watched me and then replied while looking back: "It won't happen." Then he disappeared completely. As I watched the closing door, I muttered, "Liar. There is no such thing as 'it won't happen'..." With dungeons suddenly breaking open and monsters pouring out, even humans had transformed into…-

I grumbled incoherently while rummaging through the kitchen. There were plenty of items stored here. The cupboard was filled with cookies, but the problem was that the person who had stocked them never used the kitchen. Consequently, these treats ended up neglected like leftovers. I placed the cookies in a wooden fruit bowl and left it outside Chae Won-u's room along with cigarettes and a lighter. As I stuffed my pockets, I felt something round—it was a tangerine. Had Chae Won-u eaten dinner today?…-

After focusing intensely during shooting practice, my brain felt mushy now, and I gave a weary smile as I shook my head. "Nah, that won't work." I sipped some more water, feeling refreshed, and spread out my index and middle fingers. "We need to extract Hunter Chae Won-u's water too. Thinking about it, Hunter Chae Won-u's ability is truly remarkable. That's why elemental hunters receive such special treatment." A hunter isn't quite human or beast but leans slightly towards being an object.…-

I was puzzled as I removed the security to go to the open training room. At first, it seemed understandable due to Chae Won-u's tone but after some time, I couldn't understand why he had gained so much hostility. Well, he could be somewhat cute if you watched him... "Hyung!" Exactly as the door opened, my eyes met with Chae Won-u. Then Chae Won-u waved his hand and ran towards me like a large dog wagging its tail. A large dog indeed... "Hand! Hand, hand! Hand!" Something with blood flowing from…-

I squeezed the ketchup bottle too hard due to my firm grip and ended up squirting out way too much. Feeling embarrassed and apologetic, I scooped some back with an unused spoon. This time, Chae Won-u dispensed more ketchup onto my pork cutlet while presenting his own theory: “If you don’t drink it here, you’ll do so somewhere else, right? And that bothers me.” His argument wasn't particularly logical despite being technically correct. “I'll drink alone, okay? Is that fine with you?” To…-

It's there. In my bag. Dungeons are a fair mix of disaster and misfortune. Both members of the Hunter Association and civilians suffer from mild anxiety due to them. Needless to say, I carry a dagger for protection and as a talisman for peace of mind. I'm not sure how Chae Won-u knows about it. However, that wasn't important. As I pushed Chae Won-u away, feeling his still trembling arm, I slowly patted him with my hand. Unconsciously, I almost killed someone. He was just twenty years old, quite young.…-

The feeling of piercing and slashing doesn’t linger on the skin, but embeds itself deep in the muscles, nerves, and bones. Sometimes, I jolt awake in the middle of the night, reliving the disgusting, warm sensation of blood splattering on my face. I think I drink because I’m ashamed. Ashamed of the things I’ve done in dungeons, ashamed that I make a living doing them. I keep quiet because I don’t want to seem weak. I don’t want their pity, and God forbid, their suggestions to go see a…-

"Hunter Chae." "Are you going to say something inappropriate again, hyung?" "Yes. Don't cross the line before saying it." "What line exactly?" Chae Won-u asked as if he genuinely didn't understand. "We're holding hands and touching foreheads—how can there be a line?" Shit, he had a point. "If this is only possible inside a dungeon, I want to quickly return to one." Now, he was talking nonsense. I sighed and tickled Chae Won-u's palm with my fingers. Surprised, he hastily withdrew his…-

"Don't worry; we're keeping a special eye on this area. Please contact us immediately if you notice any unusual symptoms." "Of course. But detecting them by their shimmering won't work anymore. We need better detection tools soon." The couple running the establishment, who seemed like friendly neighborhood residents, served us some Yulmucha tea before heading back to their workshop with clasped hands. Their fingers were thick from long hours of labor, and their short, rough nails sparked colorful…-
