〈Originally planned to take a break due to personal reasons, but couldn’t help but think about how sad the waiting viewers might feel.〉

*Tap tap.*

〈So, might or might not take a break tomorrow.〉

“Why, you little brats.”

[⚔️No idea what she’s talking about]

“Taking a break tomorrow.”

[⚔️Why]

[⚔️Why]

“Just because.”

[⚔️This is tyranny!!]

[⚔️We, the viewers, refuse the streamer’s break!!]

“You guys should go outside too. You can’t just watch me all day.”

[⚔️Yes!]

[⚔️So funny lol]

Even though I’ve been late before, I’ve almost never taken a break, so I thought they’d tell me to rest easy, but surprisingly, many viewers were against it.

[⚔️Let’s play the bear game]

“Scared? You think I’m not playing because I’m scared? I just don’t want the game to be boring if I’m too calm.”

[⚔️LOL then let’s go]

[⚔️Go go]

[Ding!]

[Viewer “Bean Powder Machine” donated 1,000 won]

[Sent the game to the streamer]

Thanks to the quick viewer who already sent the game, I didn’t even have time to pick one.

*Dooong.*

As the game started, heavy background music played.

I slowly moved the mouse toward the start button.

“···Huh?!”

*Screaming noise*

“KYAAAAAH!!”

─Crash!

*Smash!*

[⚔️????]

[⚔️What’s that smashing sound before the game even started?]

[⚔️Probably got scared by a ghost popping out when hovering over the start button lol]

[⚔️LOL so good, gotta be surprised if you don’t know]

“·····.”

[Title: Taking a break because the monitor broke for no reason]

Han Ga-eul

I don’t know why it broke either.

[Image of a broken monitor]

[Viewer “Thunderbolt Ram Autumn”]: The fist did what the head didn’t know.

Is that it? Why don’t you know, Room Master?

[Uncut]: What on earth do I have to do to punch a hole in the middle of the monitor?

[Spicy Curry]: LOL, that’s hilariousㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Ulling]: Is this really our Room Master?

[ㅇㅇ]: Wow, Bear Game, 1-second cutㅋㅋㅋ

[Fluffy Autumn]: Sorry, monitor.

[AyaEoYe]: My chicken, 1-second cut.

“Phew─.”

Cigarette smoke mingles with the moonlight and flows.

“Baekseol.”

“Yes! Come back safely.”

“Okay.”

As Baekseol’s words end, the ground and sky flip.

No matter how many times I experience it, I can’t get used to it.

In the twisted world, I open my tightly shut eyes and see Lily looking up at me with big, sparkling eyes.

“Hi, Lily?”

“Sister.”

“Yeah, have you been well?”

Lily’s expression looks like she has no idea what I’m talking about.

Every time I finish the tutorial and return, I ask Baekseol, but the only answer I get is that not much time has passed.

If I were to guess, it seems like time stops when I’m outside the training ground, but when I finish training and come out, time flows subtly.

I feel a strange gap where time seems to slip away.

“What are you talking about?”

“Nothing, Lily’s song is so good, I must have been dreaming.”

“Hehe.”

As I stroke Lily’s head, her green hair brushes past my fingers, and I feel a softness.

While I’m stroking Lily, who boasts a softness rivaling Baekseol’s, a hand as big as a pot lid stops above my head.

“Huh? Want some chocolate?”

Swish swish.

Room Uncle suddenly starts stroking my head.

“Lily is too small. Han Ga-eul is fine.”

“It’s not Ga-eul, it’s Han Ga-eul.”

“Hmm, Ga, Ga-eul. Beastkin names are hard.”

“I’m not a Beastkin.”

Room Uncle tilts his head and keeps muttering my name.

They must have been watching me all along, but I feel oddly happy and keep exchanging greetings.

“So, where do we go now?”

Lily’s hand moves in the opposite direction of the forest path the knights took.

“I chose it. Let’s go.”

“Wait.”

Room Uncle, who put a brake on his steps, heads towards the broken cart and rummages through the debris.

After rummaging for a while, the uncle pulls out a large axe and a small bag from the debris.

“My weapon and Lily’s bag.”

Room Uncle hands over a small bag made of woven tree branches that would suit Lily perfectly.

“Thank you.”

As Lily bows, Room Uncle tries to pat her but quickly pulls his arm back.

It seems he’s afraid of hurting the tiny Lily because he can’t control his strength.

Despite his massive size, he’s surprisingly considerate.

“Let’s really go now!”

“Let’s go!”

Holding Lily’s hand, we follow the complex forest path for a while. How long have we been walking? A strangely unpleasant sensation stirs my whole body.

“Lily, are we going the right way?”

“Lily is a child blessed by the forest. Just follow Lily.”

Room Uncle, who answered instead, seems to fully trust Lily, but Lily herself stops walking, deep in thought, as if something is wrong.

“Mother Bauder has stirred up the forest, so the monsters’ territories seem completely twisted. There’s a smell of blood and rot.”

“Blood?”

I sniff the air, but even with my skill-enhanced senses…

The smell of blood wasn’t detectable even by scent.

Rustle.

“There’s only one thing that makes a rotten smell in the middle of the forest during the day.”

—Kyaaaak!

“Hunter gnoll!”

A crazed beast, walking on two legs with a hyena-like head, lunged before Lily could finish her sentence.

“What the hell!”

“Eonni! The gnoll’s teeth are poisonous. You must not get bitten!”

Pushing Lily back in a hurry, I charged at the monster, and in the blink of an eye, the gnoll was right in front of me.

Facing it, I realized its massive body was comparable to Room Uncle’s size, which I had thought was huge.

It stomped the ground hard.

Ding!

[[True Sense]]

The force bounced from my legs to my waist,

then to my shoulders,

and into my fist!

Ding!

[[Heavy Hit!]]

When my fist hit the monster’s head, the rotten smell Lily mentioned finally hit me.

This thing isn’t human like the knights I’ve met before. This wasn’t the time to hold back.

I kept my fist pressed and pushed the force straight through.

—Crash!

Thud.

Thud.

I could clearly feel the monster’s thick neck bones twisting under my skin.

—Thwack!!

“Phew.”

The monster, which had charged with sharp teeth bared, died instantly with its neck grotesquely twisted and its tongue bitten off.

Leaves fell in droves from the tree we collided with.

“Eonni! Are you okay? Are you hurt?”

“I’m fine.”

Lily, who had rushed over, frantically checked my body.

“Beastkin… They’re terrifying. Their bodies are strong. A gnoll’s skull is as hard as steel. And yet it shattered… Terrifying.”

“Ah, how long are you going to keep this up? I’m human, you know.”

“Eonni, this isn’t the time. We need to go, now.”

“Why? It looks like it’s dead.”

“There’s no time, hurry!”

Lily pulled on my clothes with a desperate expression.

“Alright, alright. Let’s go.”

Seeing that she noticed the smell before I did, it seemed this little child had some special ability.

As I hurriedly followed Lily’s urging, the rotten smell I had caught earlier hit my nose again.

“Ah, no. We need to go faster!”

Seeing Lily’s expression turn grim, I felt the urgency.

Thinking Lily’s small frame wouldn’t allow her to move quickly, I was about to pick her up when—

The rotten smell, which had been faint, suddenly overwhelmed us, blocking our path.

“Ah, damn it. What the hell is this stench?”

Rustle, rustle.

Two gnolls with sharp teeth emerged from the bushes.

“It’s too late…”

Lily’s voice, filled with resignation, came from beside me.

“Even monsters stronger than gnolls avoid them. Gnolls live in packs.”

“Two of them are manageable…”

Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle.

The sound of grass rustling endlessly as more gnolls began to appear without end.

“There are at least twenty of them.”

“Ugh.”

Seeing the monsters, each over 2 meters tall, appearing one after another, I finally understood why Lily had been so urgent.

While I was pondering what to do, Room Uncle, who had been silent, stepped forward with a large axe.

“Grrr. Take Lily and run. I’ll buy us time.”

“Come on, it’s Han Ga-eul, you know.”

*Click.*

“Lily, close your eyes and cover your ears. You might get hurt later.”

“…Huh?”

“Hurry.”

At my urgent words, Lily crouched down, tightly closing her eyes and covering her ears. Even in this situation, she looked adorably childlike.

“Room Uncle, look away too. It’s, uh, something like light magic.”

“Got it. I’ll protect Lily.”

“There’s gonna be a loud noise too.”

I tossed the flashbang I had prepared into the crowd of monsters.

The monsters turned their heads as the flashbang flew toward them.

—KWAANG!!

A deafening roar and a blinding flash followed.

Up close, it was enough to paralyze your vision and hearing, causing permanent damage.

KIIIIEEEEENG!

The monsters, with their sensitive hearing, were completely stunned and collapsed.

Click, click.

“Whew—. Lily, are your ears covered?”

“Yeah!”

“How did you answer if they’re covered?”

“…I can’t hear.”

*Clack.*

A heavy weapon, one that would make an ordinary person’s arm go numb, landed in my hands.

HK417.

A fine friend that uses 7.62mm rounds. Compared to 5mm bullets, its lethality is incomparably higher.

This one was loaded with a special drum magazine, packed with 50 rounds of the already heavy 7.62mm ammo.

Drum magazines aren’t used in regular combat because of their weight.

And this one was stuffed with 50 rounds of 7mm bullets. Enough said.

“I’m not ordinary.”

Grandfather Herman, who seemed to have enjoyed the gold bar story, sent over a bunch of weapons that ordinary people couldn’t even handle.

I thought he’d send a few guns, but it was like he shipped over military supplies.

—TATATATATATATATATAT!!

As the gun spat fire, the monsters’ bellies burst open, and blood splattered everywhere.

“Puhaha. What’s the point of having a tough head when your belly’s as soft as tofu? Right?”

—TATATAT! TATATAT! TATATATATAT!

“Kehaha, first place! Tonight’s dinner is intestines.”

The monster, biting its tongue and writhing on the dirt floor, spilled its warm innards.
