Riding in the jeep driven by Lee Jisung for a few minutes, they saw several warning signs before encountering a boundary where layers of blue-colored mana stones were stacked. The three of them passed through the barrier and stood in front of the gate.
Usually, gates in the Divine Realm had a single entrance resembling a blue-black hole, but here, the entrance was divided into multiple parts.
“…What’s this?”
“Oh, all the gates in the Divine Realm are like this. Since the purpose is not subjugation but management. We have to extract resources through the optimal route.”
“It’s almost like a gate-enclosed fish farm…”
“It’s not a wrong analogy, right? Anyway, if something goes wrong, just pick any exit and come out. Did you check the gate map yesterday?”
Seeing Lee Jisung emphasizing that their safety was the top priority, Rood chuckled.
“There are three S-ranks here; if they escape, Gao’s gonna be in trouble.”
“It feels like you just triggered a flag of defeat.”
After shaking hands, Rood checked the map on his terminal. The three of them found the entrance directly leading to the boss stage and stood before it.
“Anyway, we’ll be back soon.”
“I’ll be careful. Don’t worry too much.”
[I’ll contact you once the situation is resolved. Hyung.]In this rare situation where three hunters of the S-rank in their 20s from South Korea were gathered, Lee Jisung blinked once. Perhaps the farewell before entering was too different. Smirking, he said, “Yeah, take care. Don’t get hurt.”
“[The labyrinth boss stage on the island of Crete has a random entrance.]”
Before taking a step into the gate, Jung Suho reviewed the briefing from yesterday on his terminal.
Entering the same stage with a random location, it was a structure where you had to defeat countless regenerating monsters within the boss stage and reach the boss room. If the three of them entered, there was a possibility that each of them would end up in a different location.
[If all three of you end up in the same place, I’ll guide you. But if you land in random locations, aim to reach the boss room as quickly as possible and wait there to attack together.]“Yes, we’ll do that.”
“Got it.”
The three of them nodded and took a step into the gate.
In an instant, the surrounding sounds disappeared, and everything was dyed in a blue hue.
Rood felt the energy gently pushing him out of the gate; it was the instinct of the gate owner trying to repel the strong. Even when he turned his head, Kang Yihyun and Jung Suho were nowhere to be seen. Perhaps they were going through a similar process.
Reality came back. A large maze with a damp and dim atmosphere, filled with a musty odor.
Intermittent screams of monsters echoed around. Rood looked around, but there was no one.
[As expected, they’ve all landed separately, says the ruler of chaos, nodding approvingly.]“Since the boss monsters are second-class, they must have some strategy in mind. Even someone like me would get torn apart if the three strong ones came in simultaneously.”
“Anyway, I need to quickly arrive at the boss room and join them,” says the ruler of chaos, wearing a serious expression.
“Don’t worry about that.”
Rood looked around, surveyed the area, and then checked a blue-glowing mark on the maze wall. The arrow pointed ‘forward.’
“Just keep going forward until the next marker appears.”
Jung Suho’s meticulous dedication in creating the maze through countless attempts served as a guide. It was a manifestation of his determination to ensure that, no matter where they landed, they could reach the boss room in the shortest time possible.
Apart from the regenerating monsters, Rood, who had spent the sleepless dawn reading a report almost at the level of a scientific paper, analyzing the monster types, their spawn locations, and the boss monster’s attack patterns for each gate, briefly turned his shoulder.
At some point, he heard growling sounds around. In the darkness where nothing could be seen, pairs of glowing eyes were gathered.
“I heard that many monsters will regenerate from here on. Shall I demonstrate my skills for a moment?”
No one was affected by Rood’s major flaw, his ‘evil tendencies.’ In a situation that demanded only straightforward destruction and with no witnesses around, it was just a display of destructive power.
[Skills? Isn’t it more like venting? Says the ruler of chaos, looking at you.]“That’s exactly what it is.”
Destructive psychic power surged around Rood. He took out a black half-scissor.
The nightmare’s black half-scissor, the counterpart to the ‘Golden Half-Scissor of Dreams,’ a tool created solely for spreading destruction and fear.
Kwaruk, black psychic powers emerged thickly behind Rood.
Jeobuk, monsters that seemed to react to his psychic power gradually appeared. Monsters with the head of a cow attached to a human body.
“Let’s see… with one pair of eyes… Ah, I don’t know. Annoying.”
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
