When Seol Jihu regained his consciousness, he realized he was comfortable. The burning sensation over his entire body and the rampaging pain tearing up his insides had vanished without a trace. Everything was silent. Suddenly, he realized that it was because he was held by someone that made him so comfortable. Even in a semi-conscious state, he could feel the thighs supporting his neck. And there was a fragrant smell. The warm scent of flesh caressed his nose. Seol Jihu sniffed and…-

“Kkeu....” A gurgling grunt escaped Seol Jihu’s clenched teeth. His two hands trembled noticeably as they pushed the boulder up. Seol Jihu scraped up every ounce of energy from his body and concentrated it in his hands. However, the boulder remained immovable. No matter how much strength he used, the boulder remained fixed in place like it was glued to the ground. Seol Jihu’s bloodshot pupils waned. His eyes stung, and his vision blurred. He wanted to take one hand off the…

Finally, Seol Jihu’s Level 7 class name was revealed. One who seeks out stars to obtain enlightenment. Thus, Star Seeker. For the first time ever, there was no mention of ‘spear’ or ‘lance’ in his class name. Seol Jihu was taken aback as he hadn’t expected this at all. Still, he understood where the meaning of the name came from. It was from the vow he made after he met Ian on Earth. The vow to become the Sun, a star. But he wasn’t a star yet and was still at the stage…

Phi Sora left the office with Pneuma’s Sky Boots and a piece of the fruit in her hand. Seol Jihu asked her to eat it on the spot and tell him its effects, but Phi Sora headed to the hot springs, saying she would eat it later in her peak condition. Seol Jihu moved on to his last task of the day — team formation. There was, of course, some difficulty. “No!” Hugo gladly accepted going to Team 2 as he wanted to try teaming up with Kazuki ever since he was in Haramark. But Chohong, who…

He returned to Paradise. He felt fresh as he walked out of the temple. In the past, he would indulge in a feeling of liberation whenever he returned. But this time, well... he was happy, but something was different. Instead of feeling relieved, his heart fluttered with anticipation, just like the first time he came to Paradise. Basked in a sense of unfamiliarity, Seol Jihu descended the stairs. The Valhalla building was more or less empty. The workshop had ended, but most of the…

Morning dawned. Kim Hannah went down to the hotel lobby to grab breakfast but came to a startled stop when she saw Seol Jihu already eating merrily. A huge stack of plates was piled in front of him. The man who was barely pretending to eat on the first day was now like a completely different person. “Oh, hey. Wanna grab a seat?” Just what happened? Kim Hannah examined Seol Jihu closely before sitting in front of him at his beckoning. “You look kinda tired today. Did you not sleep…

“Didn’t you ask me about destiny before?” “Destiny...?” “It was written in the diary.” Ian flipped over a few pages and began to read it aloud. “While I was joyfully drinking alcohol, drunk on the wonderful tale I just heard, I felt a gaze staring straight at me. ‘Master Ian, I’m curious about something,’ Seol asked. ‘Do you know what destiny means?’ It was an unexpected question.” Seol Jihu did a doubletake. It must have been after the Banquet. After Ira…

Inside, a woman was sitting on a bed staring helplessly into the air. She seemed unaware of the saliva dripping from her open mouth, and appeared mentally ill. Seol Jihu followed Jang Maldong’s gaze into the open room and frowned. The patient looked oddly familiar. He knew he’d seen her somewhere before. “Julian Clara.” Jang Maldong read her name from the file. ‘Ah.’ Seol Jihu groaned inwardly. “I believe she was Samuel’s teammate.... Do you recognize her?” Seol…

Seol Jihu didn’t feel tired even though the flight lasted longer than 8 hours. That was because he flew first class. The seats were expensive, costing about 10 million won per person, but the price didn’t matter because most of them had already made a name for themselves in Paradise. After all, the tickets were worth only about 20 silver coins in Paradise currency. As a result, they had an enjoyable flight and didn’t have to wait long to receive their luggage. On the other hand, he did…

The door of the master bedroom didn’t open for a while. The people who were anxiously waiting outside, wondering about the conversation taking place inside, left the living room one by one. The mother went to the kitchen saying she needed a glass of water to calm down, and Yoo Seonhwa walked up the stairs saying she would go talk to Seol Jinhee. Yoo Seunghae also followed her sister upstairs. Left alone, Seol Wooseok nervously stared at the bedroom door. No news was sometimes good news, but…
