“……It’s gone.”
Cha Eun Ha looked around the empty gate and soon stood still, muttering.
The fifth named monster doesn’t appear.
It felt like several weeks had already passed. It was strange, as there had never been such a long period of silence in the gate.
[The gate reset has been completed.] [ Loading ] [Lv.30 ‘RedEyed Black Tiger’ reveals itself!]There was another strange thing.
The tigers that used to charge at her like mad, somehow seemed to have become docile.
They still respawned repeatedly, but there were frequent cases where they did not attack her until she made the first move.
Even if Cha Eun Ha attacked first, some monsters did not show their teeth to the end, despite putting up a bit of a struggle.
‘Result of repetitive learning?’
Suddenly, she recalled a documentary she had seen long ago about killer whales.
There were many theories about why the killer whales, which were actually very ferocious, did not attack humans first. One of the most plausible theories was that they remembered ‘the human massacre of killer whales.’
“……”
Peek.
Cha Eun Ha turned her gaze towards the ‘RedEyed Black Tiger’. The monster whined feebly and then quickly ran away.
‘Does repetitive learning apply to monsters too?’
That couldn’t be the case. As she chased after the creature, Cha Eun Ha shook her head. At least the ones she had faced so far did not seem that smart.
Bam!
With a dull sound, the tiger was slammed to the ground. Even if it had surrendered, there was no mercy for a monster.
For Cha Eun Ha, armed with various trophies and abilities, a Lv.30 monster now couldn’t even compare to a pyramid ant.
‘I’ll have to go back emptyhanded again today.’
Meanwhile, Cha Eun Ha turned around with a gloomy face.
She had already passed twenty resets by her count alone. Her experience told her that the fifth monster would not appear today either.
She wanted to look around a little more, but her physical condition was not very good. It might have been because she had been tirelessly searching the gate for several days, even cutting into her sleeping time. It seemed best to go back and rest today.
“……”
Returning to her shelter, Cha Eun Ha looked at her reflection in a puddle of water.
The bloodstain that had splashed from the recent battle drew a red line from her cheek to her neck.
To a stranger, it would have been a shocking sight, but Cha Eun Ha, quite accustomed to such a state, calmly wiped off the bloodstain with her sleeve.
Ding.
[The deity ‘Cat Wandering in the Darkness’ awakens from its nap.] [It stretches out and rubs its cheek against you.]“It’s a wasted effort again today.”
Contrary to the cat, who looked happy, Cha Eun Ha muttered in a subdued voice.
“Can I get out of here?”
[The deity ‘Cat Wandering in the Darkness’ tilts its head, asking if you want to leave.] [It seems to say it doesn’t understand you, as you chose to stay here in the first place.]It wasn’t wrong.
Cha Eun Ha had chosen to stay here in place of her colleague. A yellow message window pops up again in front of the silent Cha Eun Ha.
[The deity ‘Cat Wandering in the Darkness’ quietly warns you that the outside is dangerous.]But Cha Eun Ha’s thoughts were a little different.
‘At this point, I don’t think I’ll die to monsters even if I go outside.’
It wouldn’t be foolish arrogance.
In the case of named monsters, the level increased by 10 each time.
The first named was 68, the second 78, the third 88, and the fourth a staggering 98.
The maximum level of monsters was known to be 99. In other words, Cha Eun Ha had almost defeated the strongest monsters.
[The deity ‘Cat Wandering in the Darkness’ persuades you that it would be better to live happily alone here.]The cat said so, but Cha Eun Ha went out of her shelter the next day, and the day after that, to get the last trophy. However, as before, she couldn’t get a clue or even a shadow of the fifth named monster.
‘Why?’
Was it necessary to achieve certain conditions to summon a monster?…
It might have been a simple internal system error. Maybe the reason the monsters didn’t attack her first lately was also due to that error.
‘I don’t know.’
Leaning against the wall of her shelter, Cha Eun Ha stared blankly at the wall with a tired face. The letters carved into the cave wall formed the character 정 (right). Staring at them with a clouded face, she unconsciously fiddled with the wish bracelet on her left wrist.
‘Mother’s memorial service must be over by now.’
Time could not be measured precisely, but it probably was that way.
Despite her busy life as a hunter, Eun Ha visited her mother’s grave every year without fail. There was no one else to visit if not her.
‘It feels like more than 2 years.’
That meant that for 2 years or more, her mother’s grave had been neglected.
By now, the weeds must be thick and the tombstone covered with a thick layer of dust. Perhaps a wild animal had torn it apart.
Eun Ha, who had reached this thought, suddenly got up from her seat.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
