The Live

‘But how did you survive? ’

The Devil's Forest.

The reason I chose this place for the first time was to become stronger a little faster.

If the rankers survived in the Forest of the Devil, they thought they didn't need to fear retaliation from the Herders after that.

However, after entering the devil's forest for the first time, Yoon Jae regretted his choice for the first time.

‘A lot of things almost got me killed. ’

There was no need to mention the high level of monsters.

But above all, the danger was the occasional mirage.

Miracles led Yoon Jae and the norm in strange directions. A strange phenomenon appeared, such as breaking the path in the middle or suddenly changing the length of the three branches to one path.

However, Yoon Jae and Jung survived.

I survived like a villain and became strong.

Eventually, the first goal was to achieve it.

“Let's go.”

Yun Jae, who saw the sun early in the morning, got up and headed to the nearby stream.

Unlike its name, the devil's forest was a fortunate place to gather food or provide drinking water inside the forest.

Yoon Jae and Jung drank water from a small stream that flowed around for four months.

Regular people asked after replenishing the water that almost ran out.

“Where do I go now? ”

For four months, the two of them wandered around the devil's forest without a care.

There was no direction. Even the road that had passed once was a place where turning your head would make you stranger.

It was natural that we could not find the direction to the city that had been gone for four months.

“We should follow this. ”

Yoon Jae placed a small compass on the palm of her hand.

Inside the compass is a red needle swirling. It was a gift from Elvin.

[Storage Instructions]

Rating: B-

# Indicates one place recorded.

# Once written, the location cannot be changed.

# When you inject magic, it points to a saved location.

The only item to escape the devil's forest.

It's not like the other side doesn't have a compass, but the compass doesn't work in the devil's forest.

It is because there is a special power in the Forest of the Devil that makes it impossible to find its way.

Fortunately, the instructions were not influenced by the power surrounding the Demon Forest. Thanks to that, we can find our way back to Trump.

Jiaying-

Yoon Jae enchanted the storage instructions placed on his hands.

Then the spinning needle slowly stopped in one direction.

“That way.”

As soon as the direction was set, Yoon Jae immediately started to move.

I also wanted to return to the city as soon as possible.

“I want to go back and wash properly. Eat well and sleep well. ”

Normally, I was already excited about resting.

I was amazed that I hadn't complained about this for four months. Yoon Jae sometimes felt sorry for the regular person.

‘Maybe he cares about it on purpose. ’

In four months, I almost died several times in my normal life.

In the process, I asked Joe to go back for once. Regular people never complained.

No, I tried harder not to complain. It's obvious to the eye.

Yoon Jae said it was great.

“Yes, take all the time you want when you get back. ”

No matter how busy I was running, it was also important to rest. All you needed to run was a whip and a carrot.

It wasn't just regular that I missed a sweet break. Yoon Jae also desperately wanted to rest for a day.

That's it.

Yoon Jae and Jeong entered the world of the other side and headed back to Trump on a day that was only a year old.

* * *

Yoon Jae and the regular were still registered as the spa of the Skyscraper Clan.

It wasn't officially accepted into the clan. It was because Yoon Jae and the two of them were rejecting themselves.

And so were the other clans. Yoon Jae and the regular were rejected by all clans, including the Skyscraper clan.

Only that Elvin and Royse have a relationship with the Skyscraper Clan and Spa.

And there were a number of clans that were paying attention to those two.

It was because they were more likely to be drawn into their clan if they remained in Spain than formally in the clan.

But the Spears of the Skyscraper Clan were no longer in sight.

“Today? The day the new arrivals. ”

Elvin asked while enjoying the refreshment.

Royce dropped his cup half full of coffee and replied.

“Probably. ”

“I don't know how many more will come in this time. ”

“There's been a growing trend lately, so maybe a thousand units. ”

“A cloth.... ”

Naturally, after that, the word 'Gulf’ was attached. In fact, the entire population of the small country was falling.

‘I don't know how you've changed either. ’

That is, the number of those who fall is 10 million, and in fact, the number of people who disappear on Earth is more than ten times that.

Since the number of people who qualify through the tutorial means the number of people who are always welcome.

‘The people we've passed on so far are close to a billion…… The ones who have disappeared in that world will be a billion. ’

It was an enormous number.

Even though the memory of those who disappeared according to the causal rate was forgotten and adjusted, a small number of people disappeared, but nothing could have changed.

“If time goes on like this... ”

Elvin shuts up, not knowing everything that came to his mind.

As he just said whatever he wanted to, Royse listened more to what he had to say to be.

“After, what? ”

“Maybe the day will come when all those people will come this way. ”

Wh-

“Ah!”

Royse drops the cup in his hand.

She looks at the coffee spilled on the floor with a broken glass, startled.

“Too bad……. ”

“What are you so surprised about? Haven't you ever thought about it? ”

Elvin kicks his tongue and starts picking up the broken piece of glass that Lois dropped.

Royse replies, putting away the pieces like that.

“It's not that I haven't thought about it. But I'm a little embarrassed to hear it from you. ”

“Why?”

“I wasn't the only one thinking that, so.... ”

Royse bows, not picking up the pieces.

“On the one hand, I'd rather not go back and combine the worlds. ”

“…… people think exactly the same thing. ”

“Isn't that right?"

Royse raises her head as she asks.

Suddenly, deep in thought, she soon became a sad face.

“But what if my family…… friends……. ”

Tuck, tuck, tuck.

She drops a piece of glass on the floor, expressionless.

“They all have to go through that process to get over here…… right? ”

“ ……. ”

Elvin can't give Lois any answers.

The answer to that question was too cruel for her.

What Lois meant by "the process" was the tutorial.

Statistically, only one in ten people survived the tutorial and went to the other side.

I don't know if I can make it through safely, but chances are it's too small.

Friends, family.

Anyone will surely die on the way to the other side.

‘Maybe already...'

Elvin tries to get the ominous thoughts out of his head.

Then he sighed and said.

“I shouldn't have said that. ”

“No, it's okay. ”

Royse clears the broken pieces of glass from the floor. When I wiped the spilled coffee with a handkerchief and sat down again, the atmosphere of the two of them quickly became awkward.

‘Not bad.’

Elvin has been watching Royse for a long time.

There was only one reason for the awkward flow of air between the two. It's because Lois has lost her words as usual.

It was always Lois who talked first and mostly spoke first. She was quietly silent at the end of the conversation just now.

An uncomfortable silence followed for a while. Elvin empties the rest of his car, noticing it's not like him.

As the cups are emptied, I can see more.

“It's okay. I'm really okay now. ”

Lois opens her mouth, looking good.

Elvin looks at her face instead of talking back. But it was a better face than before.

“Yes, thank goodness. ”

Elvin rises from his seat with an empty cup of tea.

Royse looks at Elvin and asks,

“Where are you going? ”

“Have another cup of tea. ”

“Do you want me to get it for you? I'll get the kids.”

“I'll burn it. Young is what the kids get in. ”

Elvin shrugs. He opens his door and tries to get out.

“Mr. Elvin! ”

“Oh, my gosh. ”

Park-

“Aah!”

As soon as he opened the door, Elvin pushed Lee Cha Hong's face away with one hand.

After being pushed hard enough to make a thump sound, Lee Cha Hong bows his torso, covering his face.

“Oh, that hurts……. ”

“Why are you pushing your face in? I'm surprised."

“I was going to knock first, but what if Elvin left the main door open?" ”

“Okay, what's going on? He seemed in a hurry.”

“Oh, right! ”

Lee Cha Hong rubbed his face with one hand and said.

“They're back. ”

“Both of them? ”

“The spades of my clan. ”

Spacer.

Elvin's eyes sparkle. Similarly, Lois, who was listening to the two people in the room, stood up.

“Where are you now? ”

“I have them waiting for you in the reception on the first floor. As soon as he got back, he started looking for Mr. Elvin and Mr. Royce. ”

“I'll be right there. Get out.”

“Very well, then. ”

Lee Cha-hong bows down to Royse, who was inside after Elvin, and then returns.

Elvin whispers with a small smile around his mouth.

“You made it back alive. ”

Just in case.

Knowing how dangerous the Demon Forest is, I thought there was a good chance that two people wouldn't come back.

No, technically, I was more likely not to come back. Elvin has had three chances of either of them surviving for more than a month.

On the contrary, he thought that if he passed that month, his chances of survival would increase exponentially.

The rate of growth for both of them that Elvin had seen so far was remarkable.

“Let's go. ”

Royse rushes out the door, urging Elvin to leave.

Elvin steps forward, following Royse behind him.
