      Chapter 5: Chase! Cover
      by Diswa All equipment and skills have a Rank. Gray means “Broken”, white means “Common”, green means “Excellent”, blue means “Superior”, and purple means “One in Ten Thousand”. This common knowledge from the Nightmare World, along with countless movement and footwork techniques, surfaced in Shen Ye’s mind. He felt as if he had become an Elf Race member. From a very young age, he began training his footwork and Form, and after several years of refinement,…

      by Diswa Shen Ye returned from the pharmacy with several large boxes of calcium tablets. As he entered the house, he happened to see his parents entertaining a few police officers. “Many such incidents occur every year; they are completely unpredictable, and if you encounter one, you can only accept your bad luck.” “There’s nothing we can do.” “It’s a blessing in disguise that Student Shen has recovered.” “Get some good rest; we’ll be taking our leave.” The police officers…

      Chapter 3: The Contract Cover
      by Diswa How did he summon that door? It was as if he had silently thought, “Escape through the door.” “Door.” Shen Ye thought to himself. Without a sound, the hospital room door reappeared before Shen Ye. A notice was pasted on the door: “You can summon the ‘Door’ at any time.” “However, each day, only the first time you open the ‘Door’ will you receive an evaluation entry.” “The higher the evaluation, the stronger the entry, and the more attribute points…

      by Diswa He didn't know how long he had slept. He had been working overtime at his unit, too tired, and fell asleep. When he opened his eyes again, he had become another person. A middle school student named Shen Ye. In his perception, this middle school student must have died from a high fever. He had taken his place. He should have told the student's parents about this. But— He had already arrived in this world and become this middle school student named Shen Ye. If he caused a…

      Chapter 70: I Have a Request Cover
      by Diswa Lee Gwang had everyone’s love all to himself. Geoseon and Gwanggaek openly declared their intention to take him as their successor, and whenever they had time, Han U-gyeong and Sword Emperor’s Son taught him basic sword techniques. I joined the trend as well. I passed on Chatterbox Uncle’s Nine-Ring Sabre Art to Lee Gwang. It wasn’t a unilateral decision. Beforehand, I discussed with Jin Sowol whether he was qualified to become the Guardian of Hakrim, and we agreed that he met the two…

      Chapter 69: Auntie, You’re the Best! Cover
      by Diswa When I opened my eyes, everyone was staring only at me. It seemed they’d been waiting for me to finish circulating my energy. I was grateful for their consideration. “How are you feeling?” Geoseon asked on everyone’s behalf. “Perfectly fine.” “Big talk, you brat. Do you even have the strength to deal with those nasty things?” Only then did I realize I was still holding Iron Rod and Jade Flute in my hands, the weapons I’d drawn when we first entered the passage. For…

      Chapter 68: How Long Do You Think We Have to Stay? Cover
      by Diswa They say a single moment feels like three autumns; even a quarter of that felt absurdly long. Being carried like a bundle of baggage in Gwanggaek’s arms, I passed through a tunnel that seemed to have no end at all, and could only conclude that Shin Pilju, who’d built this secret passage, had definitely been out of his mind. According to what Jin Sowol had told me, the original purpose of this passage was as an escape route for “Lady Buyong” in case of emergency. But no matter how many…

      Chapter 67: What Are We Going To Do Now? Cover
      by Diswa Once they heard why I was urging them on, Geoseon and Gwanggaek squeezed out even the last scraps of their strength and ran. The two old men covered the three-thousand-li stretch from Poun Mountain to Jin Sowol’s manor in just under thirteen hours. By the time we arrived, they were on the verge of collapse. When we reached the manor, it was that deep pre-dawn hour when all things sleep, but Jin Sowol was awake as always. Even though my wounds had healed quite a bit on the way, when she saw the…

      Chapter 66: Nonsense?! Cover
      by Diswa My vision went black, but instead of weakly accepting my end, I decided to struggle to the bitter last moment. If I was going, I was taking at least one of them with me. Riding the force of Lord of Life-and-Death’s palm like propulsion, I descended toward the ground and twisted my body. Purple Lightning Sword Lord, who had been chasing me, did not immediately strike. Instead, he landed seven or eight zhang in front of me. Before his feet even touched the ground, we had already exchanged…
