He always looked big, but today he looked particularly small.
‘It’s not uncle’s fault. Did he always keep that in his heart?’
Every time she ran into Seunghwan, she thought he seemed to be avoiding her for some reason, but now that she knew the clear reason why, she felt rather refreshed.
She felt sorry for Seunghwan living with guilt, and felt even more resentful towards the ‘great beings’.
When faced with a dangerous situation, the body can freeze and not move.
Even if Seunghwan had responded appropriately, her mother probably wouldn’t have been able to return.
It’s a being they couldn’t meet even after climbing up to the 80th floor. It must not be an ordinary one.
Suji sharpened the blade of revenge she always carried in her heart once more.
She felt like she had to catch that reaper bastard herself and kill it directly to feel satisfied.
After receiving equipment on the 9th floor, Suji stopped by the press room with Yeonju.
On a table next to the podium, there were more than 10 certificates of commendation laid out, and envelopes and boxes that appeared to be prizes were also piled up high.
“There are really a lot of rewards here and there for conquering 〈Laurel〉.”
Suji muttered like that and looked around the room.
There were only a few unmanned cameras installed, and there were no reporters gathered separately in the room.
It was Yeonju’s consideration, knowing that Suji didn’t find interviews very comfortable.
Occasionally, when there was something suspicious, instead of calling in reporters, Yeonju would prepare and provide all the photos and draft press releases herself.
Suji familiarly picked up several of the certificates of commendation stacked up by politicians, took a few photos, and then put them back in their place.
The prizes seemed to have been prepared with some thought, as they were not simple gift certificates or money, but high-quality reinforcement stones or accessories that any hunter would covet.
They weren’t that useful for someone of Suji’s caliber, but the prizes that came with them were better than the certificates of commendation that were of no use at all.
She only picked out a few useful items and put them in her inventory.
“Auntie, then I’ll get going.”
Yeonju, who was reviewing the photo results, approached Suji with a regretful look.
“Okay. Are you going straight to the tower?”
“Elaine seems to be fine too. Let me know when you get word from Nature.”
“Alright. Nature was curious about how you were doing too.”
Suji nodded, then pulled Yeonju into a tight hug with both arms before letting go.
“Don’t overdo it.”
“I got it. You’re fussing like you left a kid by the water.”
“I’ll get going.”
“Okay.”
She’s gradually realizing that having someone you love and cherish is a good thing, but at the same time, it’s also a scary thing to lose them.
As Suji sighed deeply and was about to go out the door, she felt a familiar presence approaching.
“Elaine?”
“I heard you were here.”
Suji opened the door, went out, and stared intently at Elaine’s face.
His handsome face was calm as always, making it hard to guess what he was thinking.
“How are you doing?”
“I’m good.”
“Then let’s go.”
There was a lot she wanted to say to Elaine.
She felt like the story she heard from Seunghwan would also become a bit lighter if she shared it with him.
Suji herself found it a little unfamiliar to feel this way.
‘Have I come to rely on him too much?’
Why is it only comfortable with Elaine?
The image of Uncle Seunghwan still being unable to forget her mother even now came to mind.
Because they’re a pair?
Right.
That explains everything.
Wanting to push thoughts of Elaine to the back of her mind, Suji prioritized the things she had to do right now.
“Let’s go quickly. Saint and Peace will be waiting.”
“Let’s go, Daphne.”
Elaine nodded and took the broadcasting equipment Suji was holding.
The two headed straight for the tower.
“Good work.”
“We should have gone too.”
Saint and Peace, whom they met at the exchange in front of the tower, sent welcoming greetings with their arms open wide.
Suji embraced the two in turn.
“It’s okay, we resolved it quickly. You two had things to do too, and Elaine and I were enough. Nature helped out too.”
“You didn’t get hurt, did you?”
Suji smiled and glanced at Elaine.
She wasn’t sure since when he had become so brazen, but he, whom she had always thought was honest, knew very well how to avoid conversation with an ambiguous smile.
‘I wonder if he’s hiding something from me that I don’t know about?’
It was the kind of brazenness that made her think that way.
“We don’t have time for everyone to rush in together. We have to divide the work. Are you done with item purchases and maintenance?”
Saint had been very meticulous about checking items whenever purchasing them since there was an issue with the item purchasing process last time that bothered her.
Saint showed the lists one by one on her terminal.
“Item purchases are done too. We’ve got the basics like potions, traps, bombs, and we also prepared an ‘ordinary kit’ for filming.”
Saint pointed to the end of the list of items they bought this time and said,
“What’s that?”
Suji enlarged the screen where Saint’s finger was pointing and laughed softly.
“It’s interesting. It fits the filming intent too.”
“Then, what’s the plan from now on?”
Suji looked up at the tower.
When standing close, the 〈Tower of the Sage〉 often felt more frightening and daunting. Because when you look at it right next to you, there’s a visual horror that no matter how much you crane your neck, you can’t see the end of how high it stretches.
But the tower, which had always been her homework, the object of her revenge, and the object of her hatred, was now just an intermediate process she had to go through.
I can do it.
Right now, I can go to the top floor.
Without fail.
If my strength doesn’t reach, I’ll clear the floor right below it hundreds or thousands of times to make it possible, and that way I’ll survive the bet, and somehow get revenge on the ‘great beings’.
Not rushing or being impatient during the given 100 days. But not too slow either.
At my desired pace.
In my desired way.
I will reach it no matter what.
“Originally, I was thinking of going up to the 80th floor starting today, and taking a quick look around the 81st floor tomorrow.”
“But?”
“Since Saint happened to buy something fun, I’m thinking of doing a live today. And it seems like some people need a little recovery time too.”
Suji put the filming equipment on top of Elaine’s hand with a thud and showed a smile.
[This is the timeline separator]Since Daphne conquered 〈Laurel〉, the hunter bulletin board had been running quite peacefully.
A big factor was the alertness that arose from three S-grade waves rushing in at once, making it not the time to praise or curse others.
Whereas previously, posts that were stimulating and eye-catching, such as disparaging or appraising others, would be posted, recently there were many posts with advice, tips, and analysis to substantially improve one’s skills.
In particular, what exploded among them were party recruitment posts about teaming up to climb the 〈Tower of Hunters〉.
[Title: I’m a Jeju City civil servant (please read*^^*)There may be many gaps in my post since there’s a lot related to official duties that can’t be leaked―― but it’s not a fabrication…….^^
There was a part I really wanted to share regarding the response to the three waves that occurred today~
When I first received the S-grade wave announcement, it felt like my mind was completely blown…….^^;
Oops~~ If I may tell you about myself, I’m one of the initial hunter groups who have been guarding the scene and! Protecting your safety and! The peace of the country~~ since the First Wave until now~^^
Citizens may have been anxious due to the misreporting of the alert level that occurred several times, but I heard the system was recently re-organized and an S-grade really~ turned out to be true~!
Honestly, at that moment, there was talk among colleagues about whether~ by any chance~ Daphne-nim might come~~
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think that too~~
But she really came, that person~!!!
└What is this post, there’s no content…….
└└……I know. Seems like it was posted by mistake while writing
└Seems like a senior, let’s understand
└Senior~ The post~~ got cut off at the waist~*^^*
└└Isn’t this one the worst b*stard; Delete it;
└I’m curious about the next part though…… When will it be posted? It’s been 20 minutes
└└Oh my, the senior might take a long time to write the post! You can’t even wait for that!] [Title: I’m a Jeju City civil servant (I accidentally pressed enter*^^*)
Thank you to the many people who read it.
This is my first time writing a post after only lurking^^ every day, so I’m making a lot of mistakes~!
The atmosphere was reversed after Daphne-nim actually came. The thing called S-grade was a truly bizarre thing that even I, with over 20 years of experience, was seeing for the first time~
But because Daphne-nim was there, the situation was resolved without much damage~
I’ve heard stories…… but she was really several times stronger and more reliable than I thought~~
Daphne-nim didn’t leave right away~ She spoke to us before leaving.
More precisely~ she pointed out and reprimanded our complacent attitude.
She said that the situation could worsen in the future, and Daphne-nim can’t cover everything, so she wants to seek to improve the skills of civil servants~ The more amazing thing is that she even said she would personally lead us if we wanted~!^^
Hearing the words of the person who sought out the scene more diligently than anyone else made me feel solemn, and I thought this is what a breath of fresh air is like, and it felt refreshing~
Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
①Male pregnancy (highlighted)
The female lead is five years older than the male lead, and the male lead is already an adult when he appears.
