The Chimera continued to prod and harass Mogyeon without leaving.
Even simple playful pawing felt like internal organs were shaking due to the weakened state of Mogyeon. Currently, even if he faced a large dog, he would lose.
‘This is dangerous.’
Mogyeon’s instinct told him. It was when the Chimera’s jaws opened wide like a crocodile.
‘Eek!’
Thud. A stone came flying from somewhere.
The stone hit the Chimera’s face. Although the impact was mild, it was enough to distract the creature.
Thud, thud, thud.
More stones came flying. The Chimera traced the trajectory of the stones, but nothing was visible from where they came.
This time, the stones were thrown towards the bushes, not at the Chimera.
The Chimera, looking puzzled, walked towards the bushes.
‘What’s going on?’
Mogyeon was also clueless, eyes wide with wonder. Nothing was visible to him, either.
Suddenly, he felt a force lifting him.
‘Keeing, kking.’
‘Shh, you need to be quiet. We’ll get caught.’
Shocked, he wriggled, but then heard a woman’s voice. Not knowing who she was, it seemed she was invisible.
Mogyeon immediately kept quiet, sensing someone was rescuing him.
Eventually, they were nearly caught by the Chimera but managed to reach a safe area.
Feeling weak and faint, he noticed a system window instructing to wear a bracelet. The woman’s wrist had a bracelet on it.
‘Is that it?’
He took the bracelet off with his mouth and placed it on his belly. As soon as he did, he relaxed and lost consciousness. Now, he had woken up.
‘So this woman saved me?’
They were in a tent. The subtle scent of grass permeated the air.
Mogyeon was inside a sleeping bag, and the woman lay on the floor beside him.
He suddenly felt a strange sensation and looked at his body. Despite the deep wounds he had sustained, his body was completely healed.
Moreover, not only his health but also his energy levels were overflowing.
‘What exactly happened to my body?’
As he sat up, something fell with a clatter.
‘Hwangyeoncho?’
I recognized it instantly. Hwangyeoncho is a common healing herb in dungeons.
It’s not used in combat since its immediate effects can’t be expected like a potion, but it’s often used when there’s time to rest and heal.
Judging by the complete recovery of my wounds, it seems like a high-grade Hwangyeoncho.
‘Did this woman heal me?’
Mogyeon looked down at the woman again. Her fingertips were stained yellow.
Her hands were very small. When I was a dog, the woman seemed big, but now that the skill had worn off, she appeared incredibly small.
‘She seems like a hunter being in the dungeon. A healing-type hunter, perhaps?’
Considering the strength of the stone-throwing yesterday, it was almost like that of an ordinary person.
‘A healing-type wouldn’t usually use Hwangyeoncho…’
While I was connecting various conjectures, another fragment of memory surfaced.
‘How pitiable…’
When saving me, the woman’s hands were definitely trembling. Yet she bravely stepped forward.
It was astonishing how such courage came from this small stature.
‘If this woman hadn’t come to save me then…’
Mogyeon couldn’t take his eyes off her for a while.
A much weaker human had saved him, possibly risking her own life in a situation where she might have been in danger.
And she had saved a dog she had never seen before.
“Uh-uhm…”
Just then, the woman stirred, looking like she was about to wake up.
‘No! If she wakes up now!’
Having transformed into a Beagle, all my clothes were washed away in the river. In other words, I was stark naked.
If she saw me like this, it could lead to misunderstandings. I frantically looked around and spotted water in a basin.
I hurriedly grabbed it and poured it over my head.
[‘Seol Mogyeon (S)’’s skill ‘Beast’s Tail (FFF)’ activates. Duration: 24 hours] [‘Seol Mogyeon (S)’’s stats drastically decrease.]“Doggy, are you awake?”
The woman, who had woken up, blinked and asked. It seemed I was not caught by a hair’s breadth.
“Does it not hurt anymore?”
I sighed in relief internally. Eager to communicate, I licked the back of her hand.
“Uh, ticklish.”
She giggled, her laughter clear as rolling marbles.
A strange emotion spread through me, a mix of fuzzy warmth and tenderness.
‘Ah, it’s this woman.’
Mogyeon felt a strong conviction all of a sudden.
[Congratulations! You have met the conditions and acquired the sub-skill ‘Beast’s Mark (S)’.] [‘Seol Mogyeon (S)’ activates ‘Beast’s Mark (S)’.] [Affection and loyalty towards the target increases significantly.]There were noisy system windows, but I couldn’t see them. She filled my entire field of vision, as if she was my whole world.
I felt like I could trust and follow this woman for the rest of my life.
I had to protect her, the woman who saved my life.
I would live my life only looking at her.
I was captivated by this inevitable, destiny-like thought.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
