The time was 6 p.m. Seol Jihu finally arrived at his parents’ house. Stopping in front of the main entrance, Seol Jihu stood still for a long time with his head dropped. His heart pounded from fear of what was to come. Looking back, every time he came back home, he had left thinking, ‘I shouldn’t have come.’ Would it be any different this time? He didn’t think so. That’s why he hesitated. Standing like a stone statue for some time, a laugh escaped Seol Jihu’s mouth. In…-

Light scattered everywhere. A tall, young man suddenly appeared in the middle of an empty room. “....” Seol Jihu looked around his room feebly. This was already his fourth time. It was only natural that he wasn’t particularly moved. After standing absent-mindedly for a while, Seol Jihu finally began to wander around the room. When he slid open the window, sunlight poured down on him and the cries of cicadas filled the air. Out on the street, people were dressed in short…

Kim Hannah sharpened her mind as Jang Maldong stared down at her coldly. The smile on her face disappeared, and she instantly became expressionless. She stood tall and clenched her teeth as she stared at the enraged Jang Maldong. Just as Jang Maldong was about to take her silence as an affirmation, Kim Hannah spoke up. “That’s... a misunderstanding.” “A misunderstanding?” “Yes. I know what you are trying to say, but you’re mistaken.” Kim Hannah said firmly and…

“Gambling?” Jang Maldong’s eyes widened. “Yes, gambling.” Seol Jihu glanced at Jang Maldong nervously. He looked like a child who was caught red-handed. “Gambling, huh...” Jang Maldong groaned quietly. A gambling addict. He could picture Seol Jihu’s past as soon as he heard it but did not say much. “Well, it’s better than being a murderer.” He only smiled bitterly and chimed in. Facing one’s faults was hard enough. Revealing them to others without any…

Seol Jihu screamed at the top of his lungs. It wasn’t like he asked for fame or wealth or anything of that sort. All he wanted was for the goddess to not put the word ‘mana’ in his class name. Even as lightning bolts continued to pour down, he kept on punching the unshakable wall with fists charged with mana. It was a desperate struggle. Their fight finally came to an end when the frightened Luxuria intervened. Only after Luxuria promised to persuade Gula even if the heavens split in…

It was then. Seol Jihu, who was pestering Gula for a report on the current state of his contribution points, felt someone gently pulling on his body. A statue of a beautiful goddess approached him. “Uup.” The gentle pulling stopped at the same time that his body fell onto the statue. He then felt a warm pair of hands gently embrace him. Seol Jihu, who ended up in the statue’s embrace before he noticed, looked up in a daze. Though he might be mistaken, he felt like the statue…

“I’ve been meaning to hold an official meeting. Not just Valhalla’s members, but everyone who helped in this war will get a fair share.” “Eck— Aren’t you slicing the pie into too many pieces then? It’s not just Eva. There’s also Haramark...” “No. If I don’t treat them the same way they treated me, it will be difficult for me to expect the same good treatment next time.” Seol Jihu said firmly as if this was the one thing he would not yield. “...Well, I guess it’d be…

Seol Jihu stared at Baek Haeju with a dumbfounded face. He had offered her to take some, but he was lost for words seeing her face practically buried in the ramen bowl. Her chopsticks had a whole pack’s worth of noodles on it too. “Um, uh... can you leave some for me...?” He tried to stop her, but Baek Haeju was unresponsive. Turning a deaf ear to anything he said, she finished the noodles and even the soup clean. “Aheuuu...” Baek Haeju then let out a satisfied groan before…

Their conversation lasted longer than he expected, and the celebration was already underway when he got out. There were groups of people, some small and some large, scattered all over the vast fortress. Everyone was laughing, drinking, and enjoying themselves. When he turned his eyes to a particularly loud spot, he saw people of various races rolling on the ground, laughing. At the center of their attention was Hoshino Urara. “And... KWAAAA! The beam hit her hard, and she stumbled like…

The contents of the note were simple. There was only a single line written on it. —The day we meet again, I will blink at you three times when enemies are around us. “....” Seol Jihu’s expression changed suddenly. Worry and concern disappeared, and the sense of urgency in his mind subsided. Instead, questions emerged. He couldn’t make heads or tails of this note. “What does this mean...?” “I don’t know. I didn’t read it.” Baek Haeju replied monotonously before…
