- The Second Disappearance: Global Panic Three hours after the second mass disappearance, an emergency National Security Council meeting was underway in the White House Situation Room, located beneath the West Wing. "So, you're saying we should make all of this public now?" "That's right. At the very least, the public needs to know what's happening." "Don't talk nonsense! You, of all people, know what would happen if we did that!" "I'm saying this because I know! How long do you think…
Upon entering the room and locking the door, Jun-sang first summoned Heness. With a flash of light, Heness appeared. Realizing she was in a lavishly decorated room, she breathed a sigh of relief, wondering if the battle was finally over. "You wash first. I have things to do." Jun-sang said, tearing open the plastic packaging of a gown. "I'm fine. You must be tired; you should wash first..." She declined, knowing now that she could be summoned again at any moment, but Jun-sang shook his head with a…- 224.0 K • Ongoing
- "Hmm..." Perhaps it was due to pushing his body to its limits too often. Even after his overloaded body returned to normal, the weariness showed no signs of abating. He slowly stood up. The sounds of battle had diminished significantly, but it seemed it would still take some time to clear out the remaining enemies hidden throughout the city. Indeed, finding enemies hidden in a labyrinthine urban area was never a simple task. Jun-sang pondered what to do, then called Heness again. Heness reappeared,…

- "Hmm..." From what he'd seen in the two previous defense battles, this combination of three bosses might be considerably more troublesome to deal with than he initially thought. The Support Captain was likely responsible for revival and healing, similar to the toad-headed monsters from before, and the Armored Captain, judging by his moniker, was probably similar in nature to the rhino monster he'd dealt with in Belkaras. Jun-sang clicked his tongue and hid himself with Invisibility, then used Phase…

- At that very moment, in the forest a little distance from Belkaras, Jun-sang, drenched in blood, was breathing heavily. "Hoooh..." Among the scattered fragments of torn flesh, Jun-sang was checking the quest completion message that had appeared before his eyes. Defend the City from the Army of Darkness. : A mighty Army of Darkness is advancing on the trading city of Belkaras. Block their invasion. (Time remaining until invasion: 0 hours 0 minutes) -> Completed! (Hidden) Eliminate…

- Suddenly, the forest trembled. The moment Heness's words erupted, Jun-sang somehow felt as if Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 was reverberating in his heart. Kwa-gwa-gwang! Heness's scream, imbued with all her might and overflowing with loathing for the monsters, possessed enough power to leave a deep, profound ripple in Jun-sang's heavily armored mind. How, then, could one possibly describe the shock received by those less fortified? -Kaaak! -Kee-ee-ek! The monsters, who had instinctively raised…

- "Morning Dew." Jun-sang quietly summoned the water spirit to clean the squirrel's mouth, then turned to Heness, who was standing beside him. "You should go back in now." Heness replied with a gloomy expression, "I want to come with you..." "No." While he wasn't without preparations—like the foul-mouthed old woman, the whip, or the dagger—putting her on a battlefield soaked in blood and gore was problematic in many ways. It was absurd to take her to a battlefield with two boss-level enemies,…

- Zertinskaya, the nation of Belkaras, stands in stark contrast to Heness's homeland, Delodran, which at least outwardly champions a centralized government. Zertinskaya is fiercely decentralized, partly due to its mostly desert or arid inland regions. It's almost inexplicable how nomadic tribes, the masters of immense oases, and powerful lords controlling rich coastal resources manage to remain united within a single country. In this context, Sulas Harman, the lord of Belkaras, is a quintessential example of…

- Jun-sang considered Heness's abilities: Negotiation and Connections, combined with her innate affinity. In a way, these were all things Jun-sang had intentionally ignored throughout his life. Moreover, unlike the squirrel, she possessed five card slots, which was a significant feature. With the squirrel, which only had two slots, he hadn't even dared to attempt combos. But with five slots, it would be worth a try. Since returning was difficult for now, it was better to have a means to protect himself in…

- "W-what was that just now?" "W-well... it happened so fast." While they were exchanging bewildered words, Jun-sang slowly got up, recovering from the after-effects of using Blood Sucker. Smoke was still billowing profusely from his body, but perhaps thanks to the increased regeneration rate and life-drain ratio, the duration and intensity of the after-effects had significantly decreased. Of course, such regeneration didn't alleviate the pain. "I guess successive skills are still too much." As the smoke…
