“Call us often.” His father dropped Seol Jihu and Yoo Seonhwa in front of Seol Jihu’s apartment before driving off. Now left alone, an awkward air flowed between the two. “Uh… should we go in?” Seol Jihu broke the silence first. Yoo Seonhwa nodded. She put on an apron as soon as she walked in. “Let’s eat first. I’ll make you your favorite dish.” “But I just ate.” “You can eat more. You lost a lot of weight while you were at the hospital, you know.” That was true. Because…-

After placing the newly acquired divinities inside the temple storage, Seol Jihu returned to Earth. His room, which he hadn’t seen in a long time, had been cleaned very thoroughly, he assumed, either by Kim Hannah or Yoo Seonhwa. Seol Jihu smiled bitterly, recalling how he threw and kicked everything he could lay his hands on when he first woke up from his death in Paradise. ‘I should thank Mister Hao Win.’ If Hao Win hadn’t taken him to the hospital, Seol Jihu might really have jumped out the…

The news of Seol Jihu’s revival and his immediate killing of two Army Commanders spread throughout Paradise in less than a day. It was breaking news that every organization, team, and individual paid close attention to, but the hero in question was sleeping soundly without a care in the world. He slept in Seo Yuhui’s embrace for one day and was carried over to Teresa’s bedroom for the other, all the while being completely unaware. He slept like a dead man, perhaps from fatigue left in his system,…

Haramark regained tranquility after Abhorrent Charity perished, almost as if the battle that shook heaven and earth never happened. A loud cheer erupted not long afterward. The surviving soldiers, Earthlings, and foreign races all embraced each other in joy. While everyone shed tears of relief at having survived, Teresa recalled Jan Sanctus and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to search and treat the injured. As the battlefield was close to getting cleaned up, Sung Shihyun was still alive. Perhaps because…

Sung Shihyun was thrown into the air by the power of the explosion. His body drew a curve, swaying like a tattered piece of cloth in the air. His eyes were out of focus, blank. Only the sky filled his vision. Gray clouds drifted slowly before his eyes like a panorama. ‘I….’ His mouth slowly closed. His eyes, looking fixedly at the sky, also lost their vitality. Perhaps it was because he was close to his death that everything that happened to him since he first entered Paradise began to flash…

The situation took a sudden turn. Sung Shihyun, who was rampaging as if he owned the world, fell. Vulgar Chastity was struck down by the lightning bolt, and Unsightly Humility had also stopped his advance and was dazedly looking up at the city wall. It wasn’t just the three Army Commanders. Every parasite ravaging Haramark stopped their attack. Not only that, but they were also slowly backing off. They were half acting out of instinct, but it was also because the fear was passed down from the Nests…

Going back to when Seol Jihu just arrived at his apartment room, Haramark was on the verge of being conquered. Fires were soaring from several parts of the city, and clouds of acrid smoke were rising to the sky. The city wall had countless holes like swiss cheese, and it broke and sunk wherever the Parasites touched, losing its function of protecting the city against invaders. The number of soldiers defending the meaningless city wall paled in comparison to the number of soldiers attacking it. The wall…

After tearing the paper, Seol Jihu shut his eyes tightly. To be honest, as much as he knew how unreasonable it would be, he didn’t want to reopen them. Ever since he read the book and until he arrived home, he had been happy. If this was a dream, he didn’t want to wake up. What if the scenery didn’t change? What if, when he opened his eyes again, he was still standing in his room, and not in Paradise? “….” A smile spread across Seol Jihu’s lips. Just now, he thought ‘Paradise’ when…

A sense of déjà vu swept over Jang Maldong as he walked through the hallway. During Valhalla’s group outing, he had taken Seol Jihu to the hospital to help him see the danger of Paradise addiction. At the time, Jang Maldong had walked around the hospital and showed Seol Jihu how those that died in Paradise lived on Earth, and Seol Jihu clearly witnessed the ends of Earthlings who met this fate. But now… Jang Maldong bit his lower lip. He arrived at the hospital room. Yoo Seonhwa, who was…

Dusk slowly set in as the sun set, burning the whole world in its twilight hue. “Yes, Unni, I’m almost there. I’m at the hospital’s parking lot right now.” Tang. A somewhat annoyed girl closed her car door and turned around. The girl, wearing a blue and white striped t-shirt and high-waisted spandex shorts and holding her phone between her shoulder and cheek, was none other than Seol Jinhee. She threw her car key in her handbag and walked to the elevator. “Yeah. Ah, the elevator’s…
